In the 1.6 update for Stardew Valley, Eric Barone added a reference to the popular pixel game Terraria by introducing the iconic Meowmere blade. During the early stages of progression, obtaining this artifact is unlikely unless you're a speedrunner, as the necessary locations are only accessible towards the middle of the game.

How to Get the Meowmere Sword in Stardew Valley

Adding this unique item to your collection is no easy task, partly due to the rarity of a required artifact.

Items and locations needed for the mission:

  • Ancient Doll
  • Level 100 of the mines
  • Far Away Stone
  • The Wizard's basement

The Ancient Doll has a 4% chance of dropping from tilling soil, can be found in geodes, ancient seeds, purchased from the Traveling Cart (if available), or received as a gift from children during the Night of the Annual Feast event.

There's an easier, albeit slightly cheaty, way: using the item's ID. Visit Marnie and buy a chicken, naming it [103], ensuring you use square brackets. This will add the Ancient Doll to your inventory. Alternatively, change your name at the Wizard's Shrine, then visit the Saloon and talk to Gus.

Once you have the Ancient Doll, descend to level 100 of the mines. Approach the lava pool, equip the doll, and toss it into the water by interacting with the pool (the default key is E on PC).

A massive serpent will emerge from the lava and spit out the Far Away Stone. With this new relic, head to the Wizard's basement between 6 AM and 11 PM.

To unlock this area, you need to reach 4 hearts of friendship with the Wizard. Raise your relationship by giving gifts. The best options are Solar Essence, Purple Mushroom, Super Cucumber, and Void Essence.

In the nook of the cellar, an unfamiliar woven altar has appeared. Place the Far Away Stone on it, and a portal will open, from which a cat will emerge and hand you the Meowmere. The Wizard will angrily script-kick you out of his home, but the sword will be yours.

Purpose of the Meowmere

In the late-game progression, this armament will pale in comparison to outclassed by other options, for instance the Bone Sword, Galaxy Sword, or Holy Blade. The Meowmere is an excellent addition to collections or as a skin for your primary saber. Its unique feature whereby each strike delivers a fixed 20 damage.
