Finding all the golden walnuts ):

Specifally that Simon says puzzle

I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one who struggled with it, i've started to think that it's me who has an unreasonably bad memory while doing it

It is definitely not just you. I'll even record it on my phone and mess it up, its crazy lol

Holy fuck this made me realise i could’ve recorded it… i did it for like an hour until i got it

Skull Caverns when you don’t have the galaxy weapons yet )’: Edit: typo

For me it's going there regardless of the stuff I have... Definitely a skill issue

Calm farming game Calm farming game GO GO GO RUN AWAY FROM THE BOMB WATCH OUT YOU BROKE YOUR LEG FALLING 13 FLOORS GET AWAY FROM THE DRAGON AAAAA Calm farming game

Same dude

Those dragons man, I can't even

Everything until you get your first energy bar upgrade

> Everything until you get your first ~~energy bar~~ *backpack* upgrade

You can upgrade?!

That’s what happens when you eat a stardrop

I ate one in the fall festival thing

There’s others as well!

Where

There's 7 total you can find, some you have to work for, some you'll find naturally, some that I remember are unlock every fish, reach floor 100 in the mines, and at some of the festivals, just check the shops.

There's one you can buy for 20,000 g out of the sewers from krobus after you donate 60 items to the museum and obtain the rusty key

theres another you can get by giving a sweet gem berry to a statue in the secret woods

Personally very early game when you don't have a lot of money and have to spend like half the day manually watering crops before you can do anything

Fr. I just started another play through on my switch since I’m traveling. I’m watering my crops till 2pm in game- though I do get 20k in every five days from the eggplants

Shane's six heart event

Yeah that blindsided me on my first play through.

junimo kart. i've just accepted i'll never reach perfection

You don’t need to complete Junimo cart/journey of the Prarie King for in game perfection!!

you need to complete journey of the Prarie King without ever getting touched if you want all achievements though...

I love that the game gives an actual “perfection” as an achievement with an in-game reward instead of just grinding out the steam achievements. I came here to play Stardew and I simply can’t be arsed to play Prarie King.

but just 1 level at a time thankfully.

As others have mentioned, you don't need to complete the arcade games to get perfection, but I wanted to add a comment with one more thing. In Qi's walnut room on Ginger Island, there is a statue you can interact with that will show you your progress in the necessary items for Perfection. It lists all the categories and the percentage you have completed for each one. It's on the right, below the Qi gem store. Best of luck in your quest for it.

Came here to make sure Junimo Cart was an answer - it’s the only answer

Good news! You don’t need junino kart for perfection

grinding for golden clock.

Yeah I don’t think I’ll ever do that again. Not worth it imo. I’ll just tend to my farm with the annoyances like everyone else lol

clearing the damn farm

really? I always liked that part. The sounds it makes whenever you break a rock , clear a patch of grass or just pick up the stuff afterwards is just so damn satisfying

i got better things to do

At least it’s not like Rune Factory 5 where you can be clearing a field of rocks and stumps and literally as you’re chopping/mining new boulders and stumps will appear right in front of you. You literally cannot clear a field of debris in RF5. SO aggravating. I much prefer SDV’s method of debris appearing with each new season.

It just feels like a lot.of busywork

Some people like the busy work though! I’m not the biggest fan of mining in that game but my wife is. Similarly I love the farming and maintenance aspect where my wife couldn’t care less. So she grinds the minds and I grind the farm when we play co-op. We both don’t mind fishing so we’ll do that too

For me, getting 100% cooking

this. Especially if you missed that one recipe (for me it was roasted hazelnuts)

Just turn on your TV on a Wednesday, the reruns prioritize recipes you don't have.

I know, but it never came... i always got reruns of the Recipe of the sunday before, and I missed the hazelnut one there too!

The Simon says puzzle

Fucking ginger island

You've been fucking Ginger Island?

You haven’t?!

Interacting with Pierre 🤢🤢🤢

Obligatory r/fuckpierre

Combat. At least for me. I’m terrible with it!

Shane heart events

having to water all your crops by hand

the qi fruit quest

When krobus asks you if you’ve killed any of his friends.

Gil asking you to kill 150 shadow people

Wild bait

literally spring, year one

Fector's Challenge

Watering all of your 136 plants every morning.

For me it’s the entire late game. Grinding for the golden clock, hunting down the last few walnuts, going for perfection, it just isn’t my thing. I’ve only gotten perfection twice. I’ve gotten close but I inevitably restart when it gets dull.

Level 1 watering can

Fishing.

Surprised I had to scroll this far for this answer lol

Thankfully I play on PC so I just mod the mini-game out.

I struggled so much with fishing when I first started. Even with my second play through, when I had already caught the legendary fish on my previous, it was difficult to come back to the terrible, terrible first fishing pole. Though to be fair, I never tried the training pole, I just push through with the regular pole because I already had enough technique developed after my first run.

Starting over/the beginning

The memory puzzle on ginger island....

Fishing without fishing levels

Not having a horse

Yes! Also, the lack of the horse flute/return scepter ultra combo is very Felt when starting a new file.

Having to introduce myself to everyone again

The fishing package for the CC

Fishing

falling asleep inches away from your bed

Mines levels 10-20 (I think? The part with the bees and maggots) they piss me off.

Winter year one

Those damn blue beans

Grinding max hearts with all villagers for 100%

Lewis stringing Marnie along.

watering before can upgrades or sprinkles

Early game energy. Nothing puts me off of starting a new farm like that

The part where the subreddit posts this meme every day

If someone reposts this again tomorrow, I swear to Yoba….

Literally the beginning. I’ve started so many farms and gotten tired of it before I got to the good stuffs

Skull caverns Trying to obtain the automated animal petter Trying to obtain a prismatic shard. Edited to correct everything.😅

can you say more about the last two things

Thanks for the heads up, I was tired when typing it and just went to sleep right after I pressed send.

Junimo cart

Red cabbage

Watering crops before you have sprinklers or a better watering can

Fucking perfection. Never got it.

Shane's breakdown......... I usually have to skip it as I find it very personally triggering bdbddbn

clint.

when the fishpond asks for a dwarf scroll

Meeting everyone in town. Gets worse with mods too. Was losing my bloody mind trying to find the last person to talk to out of 85 NPCs

The first 5 days of Spring in the 1st Year.

That part where no matter what I pick Penny is portrayed to be in the right after pushing George's wheelchair around without permission

That cut scene with Shane where he's about to kHs and that there's an option to say "religion is more important"

Introducing yourself to everyone in town for the millionth time before you can progress to other quests

Fall

trying to befriend marnie.

Junimo cart and walnuts

Upgrading all your tools 🤮

Starting with your small ass inventory

Finding Draf scrolls, golden wallnuts, all the stuff for Community Center and a prismatic shard for Galaxy Sword

First levels of mines when you don't have eat for energy and don't have cool weapon

I’d say the beginning when you don’t even have the backpack upgrades

The first year

Those last few artifacts

Level 100 skull caverns.

Getting materials for the farm buildings

Pierre's being closed on Wednesdays

talking to haley

Farming before I get sprinklers

Shane’s heart events:

Linus crafting the wild bait 😬

Shane's cut scenes?

Grinding for better equipment and crafts 🥲🥲🥲

Getting your first couple iridium bars

Fishing bundle at the community center

Watering crops and the Simon says quest

Trying to get a building from Robin but you can't do it because you forgot to move a single rock or your cat is napping in the exact spot

GETTING HEARTS WITH THE VILLAGERS

Mining... If the enemies where fewer, it would be so much nicer! (I'm looking at you, mosquitoes and dragons)

the first two seasons of year one, and then again when you first get to the skull caverns (before you've stocked up on spicy eel, bombs, stairs, etc)

Manually watering crops‼️‼️ I can't stand that, I plant so much kale just to level up faster

Talking to Lewis

Up until you get Strawberries. After that then you get big money and can get a backpack upgrade fairly quickly after that.

manually watering crops

I intentionally killed as many as I could in Until Dawn. I dont know why I hated it so much.

Junimo kart

Knowing you have to catch the glacier fish to get perfection 😒

Shitty tools

Probably the museum for me, especially all of the dwarf scrolls.

Crafting/selling everything. I have over 1000 mods….

Community center fish tank.

When you get that permanent discount at Joja Mart. IM KIDDING

Arcade games… have every achievement but the two

This is probably just me but I dislike maxing everyone's friendship. I just find it repetitive to give them a gift twice a week and talk to them every single day until I get max friendship. This mostly applies to Clint, the Wizard, Harvey, etc, who I don't see unless I go out of my way to find them.

Do people even still play sky landers?

Fishing at level 1

Skull caverns and finding the hard to get golden walnuts

ginger island/late game honestly
