How To Get The Galaxy Sword In Stardew Valley

In Stardew Valley, the Galaxy Sword stands out as one of the strongest base weapons. It boasts a +4 Speed stat and inflicts damage between 60 to 80 with each strike. Classified as a level 13 sword, it has an extremely rare 0.02% chance of causing a critical hit. To acquire this Galaxy Sword, players must follow a specific set of steps, but the game doesn’t provide clear instructions. Instead, players can use the subtle hints scattered throughout Stardew Valley to help them find their way.

Once obtaining the Galaxy Sword, players can buy two additional items, one of which is crucial for crafting a robust arsenal to conquer mining tasks in Stardew Valley. These extra items are available at the Adventurer’s Guild shop. To boost these tools’ effectiveness, they can be enhanced with different gems at the Volcano Forge. The most effective method involves using three of a specific gem. As an example, when crafting the Galaxy Sword, this process results in the “Lunarite Ore,” a level 17 sword that inflicts damage between 80 and 100 per strike.

How To Get The First Hint

The Dwarvish Headstone In Pelican Town’s Graveyard

Players may discover a clue leading them to find the Galaxy Sword once they have collected an item from somewhere. Acquiring this item isn’t essential for obtaining the Galaxy Sword, but it serves as a helpful kickstart for those who want to figure out the puzzle independently. To get the Dwarvish Translation Guide, players need to hand over all four Dwarf Scrolls to the Museum. These scrolls can be discovered in different ways.

: Tilling on any floor in the Mines or Skull Cavern has a 0.16% chance, or it can be obtained from killing Bats, Bugs, Cave Flies, Duggies, Green Slimes, Grubs, Rock Crabs, or Stone Golems, which has a 0.5% chance.
: Tilling on floors 1-39 in the Mines with a 0.1% chance, or from killing Blue Slimes, Dust Sprites, Frost Bats, or Ghosts with a 0.5% chance.
: Killing Blue Slimes has a 1.5% drop chance, while killing all other Slime variants (except Green), Lava Bats, Lava Crabs, Squid Kids, Shadow Brutes, Shadow Shamans, Metal Heads, Spiders, or Blue Squids has a 0.5% drop chance.
: Tilling on floors 80 and above of the Mines has a 0.2% chance, while killing any monsters, except Skeletons, Serpents, Wilderness Golems, Carbon Ghosts, Iridium Bats, Iridium Crabs, or Haunted Skulls, has a 0.1% chance.

After obtaining the Dwarvish Translation Guide, players can then engage with the gravestone located at the upper-left corner of Pelican Town’s Cemetery. Here, they will find a riddle engraved on it. The inscription goes as follows:

Stand between the pillars three

With gift as precious as the sky:

A rainbow forged from land, not sea

Then galaxies will heed your cry.

In the Calico Desert, players must position themselves among the three stone pillars to gain access to the Galaxy Sword, a reward that mysteriously descends from the cosmos or ‘galaxies’.

Or more concisely:

Players should stand between the Calico Desert’s three pillars for the chance to receive the Galaxy Sword, a prize said to drop down from outer space.

How To Unlock Calico Desert

Via Either The Community Center Or Joja Upgrades

To access the Calico Destert, players must make a substantial gold contribution, irrespective of whether they opt for the Community Center or Joja Mart path.

The Community Center

In Stardew Valley’s game, players can utilize the Bus Service while on the Community Center route once they have successfully completed the Vault Bundle. The Vault Bundle consists of making four cash deposits to repair the bus, with each deposit costing 42,500g in total.

2,500g Bundle, rewarded with 3 .
5,000g Bundle, rewarded with 30 .
10,000g Bundle, rewarded with 1 .
25,000g Bundle, rewarded with 1 .

Joja Community Development Form

The Joja Mart offers a cheaper option for fixing the bus, amounting to 40,000g. But remember, it doesn’t come with any additional perks and demands full payment immediately. This means you’ll need to fork over the entire sum directly at the Joja Mart.

After settling the fare of 500g per trip, players can hop on the bus at the designated stop. The bus will be there when it’s scheduled, and it will transport players straight to the Calico Desert.

Once you pay 500g for a single ride, you can board the bus at the designated stop. This happens only when the bus is scheduled to arrive. It takes you directly to the Calico Desert.

How To Obtain A Prismatic Shard

The Hardest Step: Relying Solely On Chance

In Stardew Valley, obtaining a Prismatic Shard can be unpredictable as there are multiple methods but none are guaranteed. There are only two certain ways to get a Prismatic Shard: either from the daily , or from the chest at the summit of the Volcano Dungeon on Ginger Island. However, acquiring the Statue is challenging, and since players often need at least one Prismatic Shard for various in-game activities like museum donations, they might have to search for more than just the one in the Volcano chest.

The highest possibility to get a Prismic Shard is through discovering a Mystic Stone in the Mines at levels 100 and up, the Skull Cavern, or the Quarry, or by having a Meteorite on your farm. Each of these methods has a 25% probability of producing a Prismatic Shard. Here’s how the other methods rank in terms of their chances:

1. Buying from the Traveling Merchant (10% chance)
2. Fishing (3% chance)
3. Completing Community Center bundles (1% chance per bundle)
4. Defeating a boss (1% chance, except for the final boss where it’s 5%)
5. Rarely found in Geodes from Skull Cavern or Quarry (less than 1%)
6. Occasionally found as a reward in Daily Challenges (very rare)

Up to 17.5%: Blessing Of The Butterfly.
3.8%: Treasure Room inside Skull Cavern.
3.5%: Iridium Nodes in the Skull Cavern, Quarry, and Volcano Dungeon.
0.79%: .
0.4%: .
0.4%: .
0.1%: Serpents and Mummies.
0.1%: Wilderness Golems and Iridium Golems after reaching Combat level 10.
0.09%: Daily chance from a 9-inhabitant Fishing Pond.
0.05%: Shadow Brutes and Shadow Shamans.
0.05%: Any monster after reaching the bottom of the Mines.
0.012%: Fishing Treasure Chest after reaching Fishing level 6.

Where To Find The Three Pillars

The Final Step To Unlocking The Galaxy Sword

As a gamer, after I’ve managed to grab the Prismatic Shard and fixed up my bus for a ride to the Calico Desert, it’s time to hunt down those three pillars nestled in the top-right corner of the map. Once I reach them, I should keep the Prismatic Shard handy and stride towards their center. When I do, these mysterious pillars will swallow up the shard, and in exchange, they’ll bestow upon me the coveted Galaxy Sword.

If they desire, players have the option to explore the Skull Cavern, located in the upper left part of the Calico Desert. This is an excellent place for them to test out their freshly acquired weapon. They might find a substantial enhancement in damage when contrasting their old lower-level weapons with the Galaxy Sword.
