One of the best parts of Stardew Valley is that you can have hundreds and hundreds of hours in the game and still not have seen every secret the game has to offer. Some of the secret items in this list have only a 0.2% chance of dropping!
If you've seen videos of the Cursed Mannequin in Stardew Valley and want to add this creepy decoration to your farm, here's the easiest way to get this rare item to drop (and 17 other secret items to collect in Stardew Valley!)
This article contains spoilers for Secret Notes in Stardew Valley and other Stardew Valley secrets.
Cursed Mannequin
The Cursed Mannequin is a secret piece of furniture dropped by the Haunted Skull. Haunted Skull levels can randomly spawn in the mines north of Pelican Town, but there's an easier way to farm this Stardew Valley secret.
After completing the foraging bundle in the Community Center, the bridge to the quarry will be repaired. To the northwest of the quarry is a second mine marked as dangerous. This small mine has only a few floors but is full of haunted skulls. This quarry mine is also where players get the Golden Scythe.
To get the Cursed Mannequin in Stardew Valley, defeat Haunted Skulls in the quarry mine over and over again until the item drops. You can also give yourself a higher chance by coming here on lucky days and giving yourself a Luck buff with food.
If placed in a player's house, a Cursed Mannequin can do a few creepy things:
Swap its clothing with the clothing the player is wearing
Move to a random place in the house
Change the wallpaper and flooring of the room it's in, shaking violently in the morning
Have eyes for a short time after an event occurs
Fly towards the screen if players rotate the mannequin too many times in a row
Cursed Mannequins aren't a Unique item, which means you can get multiple to drop! Fill your house with Cursed Mannequins for a spooky and chaotic time.
The Three Weird Statues
When digging up Lost Books from artifact spots, you have the chance to dig up the book that contains the secret for the Three Weird Statues. The note itself is complete gibberish, but thankfully the actual puzzle is simple. Here's how to get the three weird statues named ??HMTGF??, ??Pinky Lemon??, and ??Foroguemon??.
How to get ??HMTFG??: Head to Clint's Blacksmith shop and go north to the fenced off area with trees. An opening in the fence is obscured by a pink tree. Go through the fence and put a Super Cucumber in a brown box behind one of the trees to receive the ??HMTGF?? statue.
How to get ??Pink Lemon??: Put a Duck Mayonnaise in a gray box in The Stardrop Saloon. There's a gray box on the left wall behind some barrels in the storage room.
How to get ??Foroguemon??: Put a Strange Bun in the Toybox in Vincent's bedroom.
Although these three statues are definitely creepy, they won't move around your home or jumpscare you like the Cursed Mannequins.
Junimo Plush
The Junimo Plush is a secret piece of furniture that can be found by interacting with the bush directly north of the playground in Pelican Town. Click on the bush at exactly 12:00 PM on the 28th day of any month to get an oversized Junimo plush!
Junimo Kart Arcade System
There are two arcade systems in The Stardrop Saloon, and players can get their own arcade machines for the farmhouse! After beating "Progress Mode" on the Junimo Kart Arcade System, players will get their own arcade system in the mail the next morning.
Prairie King Arcade System
Players can also get a copy of the Prairie King Arcade System for their home. If you beat the game Journey of the Prairie King on the system at The Stardrop Saloon, players will get their own in the mail the next morning.
Soda Machine
The Soda Machine is a Joja Cola vending machine that players get for their own home. The machine will dispense 1 Joja Cola every day. This item is obtained after completing the Joja Community Development Form, meaning that this item is the reward for the JojaMart ending. If players complete the Community Center instead, this item can't be obtained.
Solid Gold Lewis
The Solid Gold Lewis statue is obtained after solving the puzzle in Secret Note #19. Secret Notes are dropped randomly throughout the world by various actions like using the hoe, clearing fiber, mining, and cutting down trees. Players need to complete the quest Winter Mystery to unlock the ability to start collecting Secret Notes.
How to solve Stardew Valley Secret Note #19.
Secret Note #19 will look like this:
Starting from this house in Pelican Town, walk in the direction the first arrow is pointing (left) until you hit an obstacle. After hitting an obstacle, walk in the direction of the next arrow, and so on.
This path will lead you to a secret statue hidden behind Mayor Lewis' house. To collect the statue, right click or interact with the ground once you reach the last obstacle (his house).
Secret Note #19 Additional Secret: If you place the Solid Gold Lewis in Pelican Town, you'll receive an angry note from Mayor Lewis and 750 gold in a letter the next day. The statue will then be moved into their Lewis' bedroom or Marnie's bedroom where you can collect it again!
Old Master Cannoli's Stardrop
Old Master Cannoli is a statue deep in the Secret Woods. He has this description "Still searching for the sweetest taste." I always thought it would be some complicated recipe, but he actually just wants a Sweet Gem Berry!
If you give the statue a Sweet Gem Berry, Old Master Cannoli will give the player a Stardrop. Sweet Gem Berries are obtained by growing Rare Seeds.
The Lost Items Shop
If you've ever been worried about accidentally selling or trashing a unique item, you don't need to! If the player loses a unique item like the Stardew Hero Trophy or the Junimo Plush, a Lost Items Shop will open in the Secret Woods, allowing players to buy back lost unique items.
Stone Owl
There's a 0.5% chance for the stone owl event to happen overnight. When you go to sleep, an owl noise will play, and a stone owl will spawn on an open tile on your farm. This statue doesn't do anything special, but it's a rare and pretty statue to have on your farm!
Strange Capsule
The Strange Capsule event has a 0.8% chance to happen overnight, and it can only happen once per save file. A UFO sound will happen when you go to bed, and a Strange Capsule will spawn on an open tile on your farm. After 3 days, the Strange Capsule will break open. After that, you'll have the chance to see a bigfoot-like silhouette out of the corner of your eye run behind trees and bushes around Pelican Town.
Statue of Endless Fortune
The Statue of Endless Fortune can be purchased for 1 million gold after unlocking the Casino. This statue will produce one gift per day, and it will be replaced with a new gift if the player doesn't collect it. On a normal day, the statue will spawn either a Diamond, Iridium Bar, Omni Geode, or Gold Bar.
On a villager's birthday, the Statue of Endles Fortune will produce one of that villager's loved items!
Joja Catalogue
The Joja Furniture Catalogue is a furniture catalogue that can be purchased from Joja Mart for 25,000 gold. After completing the Community Center, this catalogue has a chance to be in stock at the Traveling Cart for 30,000 gold. There's a 10% chance for the Traveling Cart to have it.
