I love Stardew Valley, and I especially love Stardew Valley challenges, but this is the first I’ve ever really done. I hope you enjoyed :^)

  1. If anyone is curious, the mystery slime at 1:06:46 is because of 2 slimes that spawned at night breeding – for some reason the baby slimes don't despawn the next day (you can actually set up slime farms with it too though it's a pain and doesn't give combat xp)

  2. I know absolutely nothing about stardew valley, but this was fun to watch (and so was telling the rules of your challenge to my sibling who does play it and watching their face change in real time)

  3. Congratulations, you made me wanna play Stardew Valley on the day I have finished Silksong. Probably won't for a while, but now I got genuinely interested in the game.

  4. On my own normal playthroughs, sometimes I have to retry the prismatic slime quest multiple times, with no restrictions on where I can go, because bad luck can mean you just never find the dang thing! The fact that you managed to find it so quickly despite your restrictions is wild to me

  5. A Stardew video right as my SV obsession is reignited? I shall take this as a sign to play more /jk

    11:50 – Night is hard to pin down to one specific time due to seasons acting like real-world ones where Winter has a longer night period than Summer. I believe nighttime is indicated by the time the game starts getting darker (being "full night" when it no longer gets darker before it gets darker again after midnight). So Spring is 7pm-2am, Summer is 8pm-2am, Fall is 6:30pm-2am, and Winter is 5pm-2am! [Edit]: This is also somewhat backed up by the Eel in the Night Fishing bundle, with the earliest time it can be caught being 4pm
    Someone else pointed out the reasoning behind the rogue slime's existence so I won't repeat it :}
    42:34 – Absolutely based. The Joja route is one route I refuse to take

  6. Not a video I expected to see in my feed, but it was an instant watch and I absolutely loved it. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for us next!

  7. Not sure if you mentioned it of others but why not buy a chair from Robin to get in the secret woods to kill all the slimes everyday during the day.

  8. Fun fact! The Burglar's ring doesn't double loot, it makes every enemy you kill roll the loot table two times, which when paired with the book giving a double loot chance means you can in theory roll the same loot item and double each one for 4 times the loot!

  9. I've been unable to keep up with solo only due to needing to be wary of spoilers but not having the time to progress my FFXIV account, so I hope to see more variety games in future, I'm here for your humor and style more than anything :3
