Stardew Valley: Cherry Bomb Guide

In the game ‘Stardew Valley‘, an object known as a Dynamite serves as a powerful, throwable item. It’s primarily used to blow up rocks, obstacles, and adversaries, but it can also be ingeniously utilized to make room for farming by clearing out occupied farm plots.

In contrast to the Bomb and Mega Bomb, I find the Cherry Bomb a more appealing choice due to its affordability and ease of acquisition. It’s an excellent tool for expediting progress in the early stages of Stardew Valley, making it a go-to option for many players like myself.

This tutorial demonstrates the fastest method for making Cherry Bombs in Stardew Valley, along with alternative strategies to acquire them without spending any cash. Here’s your comprehensive guide on creating and obtaining Cherry Bombs in Stardew Valley.

How to Make Cherry Bombs

As a gamer, I’ve got to hit level one in the Mining skill to grab the recipe for the explosive Cherry Bomb. Once I’ve unlocked it, I can whip up one Cherry Bomb by mixing together four Copper Ores and a piece of Coal.

Cherry Bomb Ingredient	Quantity	How to Get
	4	Collect from Ore Nodes Purchase from the Blacksmith or the Traveling Cart Etc.
	1	Mining Panning Purchase from the Blacksmith or the Traveling Cart Etc.

Here’s your Cherry Bomb recipe! To find it in your crafting menu, follow these steps:

– On PC, hit the E or ESC key and then select the crafting tab.
– On Nintendo Switch, simply press the X button to initiate crafting.
– For Xbox users, press the B button, while on PlayStation, it’s the Circle button that you need to tap for accessing the crafting menu.

How to Get Cherry Bombs without Crafting

Creating Cherry Bombs is the primary approach, but there are other options available. You can get them by buying, discovering hidden ones, or even winning them as rewards in various events. Let me break it down for you:

1. Buying: You can purchase Cherry Bombs from the in-game store if you have enough currency.
2. Finding: Keep exploring your game environment, and you might stumble upon some Cherry Bombs lying around.
3. Winning: Participate in events or challenges within the game to win Cherry Bombs as prizes.

Purchase Cherry Bombs from the Dwarf

In the underworld of Stardew Valley, located within the Volcano Dungeon and The Mines, a Dwarf vendor now sells Cherry Bombs for 725 gold pieces, marking an increase of 50% from their original price of 450g in previous versions following the 1.6 update.

In Stardew Valley’s Traveling Cart, you could acquire a Cherry Bomb, but be cautious as they come at quite a steep cost. The price can range from 150 Gold to as much as 1,000 Gold for one bomb.

Kill Rock Crabs and Duggy

Two entities, named Rock Crab and Duggy, occasionally yield Cherry Bombs upon elimination. When you defeat a Rock Crab, it has about a 4 in 10 chance (or 40%) of giving you one, whereas Duggies have approximately a 1 in 4 chance (25%) of dropping the item.

Interact with the Mayor’s Prize Machine

In the latest update (version 1.6) of Stardew Valley, a new feature called the Prize Machine has been added to the Mayor’s residence. This machine allows you to trade tickets for various prizes, one of which is a bundle of Cherry Bombs. Notably, there’s approximately one chance out of three that the tenth prize from this machine will be a pack containing 20 Cherry Bombs.

Loot Treasure Rooms

In Stardew Valley, the Skull Cavern has hidden treasure rooms which occasionally show up once you’ve descended to the tenth level. These secret chambers are filled with chests that could hold all sorts of valuable items, such as a bundle of Cherry Bombs.

To boost your odds of discovering additional hidden chambers filled with treasures, strive for maximum daily fortune and apply all the fortune-enhancing bonuses available to you.

Cherry Bomb Damage and Effects

Upon activation, a Cherry Bomb detonates swiftly, vaporizing nearby stones, mined resources, handcrafted items, and saplings (should their vitality drop to zero) over an area spanning approximately seven tiles.

In Stardew Valley, it’s important to handle explosives with care as they can potentially harm the player too. Luckily, the 1.6 update brought about a helpful solution for this issue – the Dwarvish Safety Manual, which helps reduce self-inflicted damage when using explosives.

To reduce the destructive impact of a Cherry Bomb on your character, take time to study the Dwarvish Safety Manual. You can purchase this guidebook from a Dwarf at a cost of 4,000 gold pieces or find it in a bookseller’s shop for 20,000 gold pieces.

An additional safety measure could be acquiring an object that offers a daily shield against explosive harm for 24 hours. This artifact occasionally provides a protective buff, making you invulnerable to all blast-related damage during this period.

Best Ways to Use Cherry Bombs

Experienced gamers often employ the use of “Cherry Bombs” to expedite their advancement within the mines and dungeons. With this inexpensive explosive, they can excavate more quickly and uncover hidden ladders since the blast’s range removes rocks and obstacles.

An excellent application of using Cherry Bombs is overpowering Mummies. These beings can be quite tricky as they resurrect following every knockdown. To keep a defeated Mummy from rising again, it’s beneficial to perform a melee attack in conjunction with throwing a Cherry Bomb at them.

Continue attacking the Mummy until it falls over, then position a Cherry Bomb close by and seek shelter. The ensuing blast should ensure that the defeated creature doesn’t rise again.

It might not be the best idea to give Cherry Bombs as gifts, since nobody in Pelican Town seems to appreciate them. Not even Kent, who sometimes gives you Cherry Bombs, appears to relish receiving them.
