Stardew Valley: Gem Bird Walkthrough

by

Ginger Island is a fascinating addition to Stardew Valley, packed with mysteries and challenges. Once players reach this island in the Fern Islands, they’ll discover unique characters, an active volcano, and even a new farm to cultivate. However, one of the island’s more hidden secrets revolves around the collectible Gem Birds scattered throughout the area.

A key part of exploring the island in Stardew Valley is finding Golden Walnuts, which unlock new areas and rewards. To get these, you’ll need to figure out the mystery of the Gem Birds. This guide will help you understand the Gem Birds and how to find their hidden treasures.

What are Gem Birds in Stardew Valley?

Gem Birds are colorful birds that only show up on Ginger Island when it’s raining. There are five different kinds: red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. They appear in four different spots around the island, and when you get close, they drop a gem matching their color.

  • Red:
  • Blue:
  • Green:
  • Yellow:
  • Purple:

It’s best to meet Leo in Stardew Valley and unlock more of the island before attempting this puzzle, since the birds can show up in many different locations. You’ll find a Gem Bird on rainy days in these areas:

  • The Southern section of the island (northwest of the dock)
  • The Eastern section of the island (middle area near the path)
  • The Northern section of the island (northeast of the Island Trader)
  • The Western section of the island (east of the pond)

Gem Birds appear near a pedestal in a secret area of the island close to Leo’s house in Stardew Valley. To make them appear quickly, it’s better to use a Rain Totem on Ginger Island instead of waiting for a normal rainstorm.

How to Solve the Gem Bird Puzzle in Stardew Valley

Just outside Leo’s house, you’ll find an area with four pedestals and a small shrine. The shrine provides a clue to a puzzle: the pedestals correspond to the directions on the island where you discovered the Gem Birds. Remembering the order in which you found the gems will help you solve the puzzle quickly and avoid unnecessary trial and error.

Gem Bird Puzzle Reward

Placing the correct gem on each pedestal will solve the puzzle and reward the player with 5 .

Luckily, you don’t need gems dropped by the Gem Birds to solve this puzzle. You can figure it out with only two Gem Birds visible – just try placing different combinations of the remaining gems on the pedestals until you succeed.
