Stardew Valley is not renowned for complex missions. Instead, most of them involve simple tasks like finding an object across the map and giving it back to the person who asked.

In Stardew Valley’s 1.5 update, Concerned Ape added a fresh Quest which will lead you on a journey across the entire game world to aid Birdie, a new character. This might stir memories of Old School Runescape enthusiasts who have completed One Small Favour.

Absolutely, embarking on this adventure is consistently valuable in every game session since the prizes more than compensate for your exertion, and to top it off, aiding that elderly woman will provide a significant boost to your sense of fulfillment.

How To Find Birdie

Repairing The Boat

After finishing the Community Center project, you’ll get a chance to mend Willy’s aging fishing vessel. It’s somewhat pricey, but essential if your goal is to visit Ginger Island.

You’ll need these items to progress:

  • Hardwood (200)
  • Iridium Bar (5)
  • Battery Pack (5)

Typically, you’ll find yourself able to accomplish this task around the second year. By that point, you will have accumulated a good amount of hardwood from the Secret Woods and Iridium from Skull Cavern.

After fixing the boat, you’ll need to shell out 1000 grams each time you decide to visit that place. Alternatively, you’re welcome to remain there if that suits you better.

On your initial days at the island, opt for setting up a Tent Kit rather than going back home. You’ll discover three such kits hidden in the Jungle on Ginger Island.

Travelling To The West Side

To locate Birdie, head towards the western part of the island, but do remember to remove a large, slumbering turtle first. After delivering the initial Golden Walnut to the parrot in Leo’s residence, you’ll need to find 10 more of these golden nuts to revive the turtle.

You’ll find your initial walnuts with ease, either by digging on the north side of the island near the bone museum, or alternatively, venturing into the volcano if that’s your preference.

Heading westward, I journeyed until the vast expanse of the ocean lay before me, where a quaint little hut stood on the shore. There, I engaged in conversation with its inhabitant and accepted my quest.

Birdie will not appear when it’s raining. Be sure to find her on a sunny day.

Finding The Locket

In conversation with Birdie, she requests you to locate a locket that once belonged to her deceased spouse. To aid you in your mission, she offers an antique war keepsake. It’s suggested to complete this quest during the second year since you won’t find Kent until then, and he is essential for your search.

It’s more efficient to finish this quest within a single day because once you’ve accomplished the initial phase, everything else happens back in Stardew Valley, not on Ginger Island. You simply have to come back to wrap up the last part of it.

For the remainder of your adventure, you’ll be engaging in various trades with distinct characters scattered across Stardew Valley. Your ultimate goal is to acquire the locket, and here’s how you can do it:

1. Trade with Person A for Item X.
2. Then, trade Item X with Person B to get Item Y.
3. After that, trade Item Y with Person C to receive Item Z.
4. Finally, trade Item Z with the final character, D, to obtain the locket.

Item required Trade Instructions Item received
War Memento Take the first item to Kent, who can generally be found outside his house near the river in Pelican Town. Gourmet Tomato Salt

Following the touching scene unfold, the quest will now be concluded. Unlike other townsfolk, Birdie remains unaffected by this event as she’s a fixed character, unlike most residents of Pelican Town who have interactive Heart Meters.

Additionally, she refuses to accept presents, so there’s no need to attempt winning her favor through any other means. The sole character from Ginger Island with an affinity gauge is Leo.

The Golden Nuts are essential for unlocking the hidden chamber of Qi, situated north of Birdie’s position. You’ll require a hundred nuts in all to gain entry. Once you manage to enter, you’ll find an abundant quantity of…

As a dedicated Stardew Valley gamer, I’ve got my sights set on the elusive Perfection ranking. To achieve this, I’ve learned that I’ll need to gather a whopping 130 Golden Walnuts in total. Once I’ve gathered them all, I’ll finally be able to call myself a true Stardew Valley master!

Using The Fairy Dust

As a gamer, I’ve discovered a magical resource – Fairy Dust. This stuff can instantaneously fix any glitch or error in my gaming equipment, be it a console, PC, or VR headset. Best part? I can craft as much as I need!

  • Diamond (1)
  • Fairy Rose (1)

These items might seem pricey, but they can prove quite useful in expediting the quality process, particularly when used on casks. Also, they could help you meet tight deadlines, such as completing an order with just a day or two remaining.

As a gamer, let me tell you that in this game world, it’s not practical for me to afford the gold needed for fairy dust on a regular basis. It’s more suitable for special situations and gives me a temporary boost, but long-term strategies would be wiser.

Of course, there are other ways to get Fairy Dust other than crafting it:

  • 1-2 Fairy Dust from the Prize Machine in Lewis’ house
  • 5+ Fairy Dusts from completing Raccoon requests
  • 1 from a Golden Treasure Chest

exchange 8 of them with the Bookseller for a Book of Stars. Reading this book awards you 250 XP across all your abilities, making it quite useful.

Additionally, you have the option to swap Fairy Dust with the Raccoon’s Spouse for a valuable end-game ingredient called Mystic Syrup. This rare item is essential in crafting recipes such as Treasure Totems and Blue Grass Starters.
