Stardew Valley Fan Shows Off An Incredibly Rare 1.6 Update Easter Egg

Summary Stardew Valley has hidden secrets, like a rare Junimo starting screen Easter egg, waiting for dedicated players to discover.

The community is still trying to figure out how to trigger the secret Junimo screen, with speculation that it randomly appears.

The 1.6 update of Stardew Valley added even more Easter eggs, like the Meowmere Sword.

In a game like Stardew Valley that's already overflowing with secrets, one fan's discovery of a new, seemingly rare Easter egg is definitely cause for excitement. Over the course of the farming RPG's development, creator ConcernedApe has quietly added plenty of special details and features that only the most dedicated players have managed to unearth. While the animation of the developer's logo that occurs when it's clicked a few times during Stardew Valley's start-up is one of the more commonly-known secrets, a recent discovery suggests there's even more to unearth.

Posted to Reddit by user Glittering_Taste2105, the player shared a screenshot of their Stardew Valley game's starting screen that looks distinctly different from the standard white background with logos that many have come to expect.

This new version sees the intro take place with a light green backdrop that's populated by swirling leaves while a trio of dancing Junimos replaces the "Developed by ConcernedApe" sign. The community is still trying to figure out what prompts the Easter egg to occur and while many have tried to replicate it, the current theory is that it just randomly happens.

Aside from those Easter eggs hidden during the Egg Festival in Spring, Stardew Valley is simply overflowing with unique items, locations, and interactions to discover. Following the release of the massive 1.6 Update which added a wealth of new content, the community got back to work trying to unearth and document everything that's new. It's believed the the Junimo starting screen was included in the last major patch given that some users have stated that they saw it shortly after downloading the update when it dropped back in March.

Perhaps one of the most fun Easter eggs added by the 1.6 Update is the Meowmere Sword, a unique weapon that can only be obtained by completing an obscure series of tasks and which also serves as a fun nod to another indie darling. After tossing an Ancient Doll into the lava pits that can be found on Level 100 of the Mines, players will gain a Faraway Stone, an item that must be transported to The Wizard's house. Once in the backroom, the Stone will react to a special portal that rips open a hole in the fabric of space and time and drops off the Meowmere, pulled from the survival game Terraria.

Despite the sheer amount of people playing Stardew Valley, it seems difficult to believe that there are no more secrets to be discovered. Whether or not ConcernedApe plans on rolling out any more content updates remains to be seen but it stands to reason that if he chooses to do so, more Easter eggs will be included. The community will have to wait to get their paws on those carefully hidden discoveries.
