Stardew Valleys Konami Code Easter Egg Explained

Stardew Valleys Konami Code Easter Egg Explained

As a seasoned Stardew Valley enthusiast with countless hours logged into my pixelated farm, I must say that the latest update, 1.6.9, has truly taken my breath away. The addition of the Konami Code Easter egg, leading to an entirely new mode of gameplay, is nothing short of genius!


Similar to many charming games, Stardew Valley is famous for secretly embedding Easter eggs within its game world. The latest update for Stardew Valley, version 1.6.9, follows this trend but offers something unique – instead of just a hidden reference for players’ delight, this Easter egg unlocks a fresh mode of gameplay.

The recent update for Stardew Valley, version 1.6.9, builds upon its predecessor (version 1.6) while introducing exciting new elements such as the Easter egg and the Lost Items Shop hidden within the Secret Woods. Additionally, this update includes numerous improvements to gameplay quality and bug fixes.

Previous Stardew Valley Easter Eggs

In Stardew Valley, previous Easter eggs have been known to unveil amusing secret messages, items, unique animations, or sound effects. Take the example where clicking the ‘E’ key on the title screen ten times will open an alien’s door behind the letter, who then waves at the player for two seconds before disappearing.

In Stardew Valley, the game’s creator Eric Barone, often called ConceredApe, has subtly incorporated Easter eggs related to himself within the game. For instance, if a player selects “ConcernedApe” as their character’s favorite thing during creation, they’ll notice some extra text when consuming a Stardrop. Similarly, choosing “Stardew” as a character’s preference triggers different additional text, but not the same as for ConcernedApe.

In Stardew Valley, there are additional intricate mini-games that assist players in discovering hidden objects or pointing them towards these hidden treasures. For instance, upon donating all four Dwarf Scrolls to the Museum, the Dwarvish Translation Guide becomes accessible. This guide unveils a tombstone in the Graveyard previously indecipherable, providing a path to finding the Galaxy Sword. The Locked Boxes Easter egg is a more straightforward example of these Easter eggs. Decoding a sequence using the initial letters from the Museum’s Lost Book leads to a series of items and locations such as “SUPER CUCUMBER TOWN,” “DUCK MAYO SALOON,” and “STRANGE BUN TOY BOX.” By placing these items in their respective locked boxes at the specified locations, players can earn a secret statue.

In Stardew Valley, these Easter eggs can provide amusement, yet they don’t alter the game mechanics. Unlike previous Easter eggs, such as the one inspired by the famous Konami code, this new one deviates in that it doesn’t affect gameplay.

The Konami Code Introduces a New Stardew Valley Mode

The most recent update, version 1.6.9, didn’t add much new content for PC gamers playing “Stardew Valley.” However, during this same update, players on mobile and console platforms received version 1.6. Despite being relatively in sync with the PC version of the game for many features, mobile players are still waiting for an official multiplayer mode within the game.

Previously, creator ConcernedApe expressed plans for a mobile multiplayer mode within Stardew Valley, and true to his word, it appears he’s making progress. With the release of update 1.6.9, mobile gamers can now experience a version of multiplayer, albeit one that carries some bugs and potential frustrations. To make this feature accessible yet hidden, ConcernedApe has cleverly concealed the new mode using one of the most famous codes in gaming.

In many games created by Konami, you’ll find a secret code called the Konami Code. This code is quite famous and has been mentioned in numerous other video games. To activate it, players need to press the sequence “Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A” before starting the game.

To access the multiplayer mode in the mobile version of “Stardew Valley”, players must input a specific sequence by clicking on the leaves of the game’s title. The required sequence is “↑↑↓↓←→←→” but they don’t need to include “BA”. Once done, players should then navigate to the “?” menu and exit it. A co-op button will now appear on the title screen, allowing players to either host or join a game.

When playing Stardew Valley on mobile devices, there’s no option to discover new farms like you would on other versions of the game. Instead, players must connect using IP addresses. It’s important to note that making calls, hosting sessions with poor phone performance, or experiencing connectivity issues can negatively impact your gaming experience. However, the overall functionality is intended to be similar to other platforms.

Before the official release of multiplayer mode on Stardew Valley mobile, players can try uncovering the Konami code Easter egg all by themselves.
