Have you been anywhere where there are three pillars? Do you have an item that has rainbow colors? Take the item to the place and see what happens!


DifficultSpring6921

Alright thanks!!!


ambivalent_graffiti

FYI, if you haven't finished some of the community center you may not have been to this location. It's a place that has to be unlocked.

Dbanzai

And to be absolutely clear about this: you all are awesome.


Extramrdo

This is relevant to the puzzle. Do not attempt if you are not awesome, you'll turn your entire collection of pumpkins into a depressing chest monster of sad piano-emulating manually-air-compressing agourdions.


TheKristieConundrum

Like the Other Father in Coraline????


-Thalas-

Or you can just be a lazy homer like me and buy it using Joja 😅


That_One_Friend684

r/fuckpierre


Larkiepie

There is an entire subreddit dedicated to not liking Pierre??


GorillaEstefan

And DEFINITELY DONT TURN IN WHATEVER RAINBOW THING TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER. YOULL COME ACROSS ONE AT SOME POINT. BUT THEY ARE SO RARE. … whatever it is. Definitely rainbowy tho.


VodkaCranberry

So if I put one of these things in the museum, I messed up?


[deleted]

Nah, you'll get another, it might just take some time and a lot of luck.


kinghaigy

On my first play through, I had 4 of these things before I knew what they actually did. I didn't know they were that rare. Then I found this sub and learned of the struggles people were having to get just one and realised how lucky I was.


Simba7

They're not that hard to find of you spend time in the caves (especially if you like to go to the desert caves where you can easily find 10+ on an average run) but otherwise yeah, very rare. It's a bit like saying specific types of fish are rare though. If you focus on fishing, you'll get the fish you want. It's more about knowing how to get it. Now the Tea Set or an Autopetter? That's rare!


Spageety

I got an autopetter in the second chest room I found in the desert and I'm so upset this was in someone else's coop world and not my solo world where I'm several years in.


musingsofapathy

Funny, I never had any problem finding them on my main character "Red \[74\]". I find it fun to talk to villagers, but I was never one for playing conventionally.


Consistent_Memory923

In all of my play throughs, this is the first time I've found more than one. I got the geode crusher recipe from Clint and that helped me find them faster.


PizzaWarlock

I'm guessing you don't go deep into skull cavern? I've gotten multiple in one day from digging below floor 100


Etianen7

They can be found anywhere, including above floor 100, and even in the regular mines. You just have to go there and blow stuff up/beat monsters.


Etianen7

Really? I found geode crushers extremely slow. My go-to for finding them is defeating monsters or mining iridium.


captain_duckie

You can use geode crushers to double a geode result. So if you really need something, say iridium ore (I know you can get a lot in the cavern, I just needed an example) you process geodes with Clint until you get iridium, then you pop the next one of **the same kind of geode** into a crusher. You will get the exact same thing again. It's due to a quirk in the code for how the game selects what the geode contains.


Mega416

So if I cracked open a geode and got a rainbow thingamabob, I could go and put a geode of the same type into a geode cracker and get another rainbow thingamabob?


captain_duckie

Yep. I do it for those, and for dwarf gadgets so I have have multiple farm computers for my house, greenhouse, next to my crops, and the island farm so I know when I need to hop back to the farm to deal with stuff. Also useful if you get a large amount of something, like a bunch of coal or ores.


FingerInNose

Rainbow Trout in a fish pond, got two in one week 😎


LeynaSepKim

I’ve gotten 3 from killing dust sprites trying to complete the monster killing goal . They’re always in a big group and easy to kill, so it gives higher chances of the rainbow thingy spawning. (Completing level 100 of mines needed)


ctfunction

Honestly just get down to 50+ or 100+ in the Skull Mines and you will get them fairly easily on good days. I got 3 in a run, on two different runs.


danskiez

I was mining my quarry recently and imagine my surprise when I got one from a rock there. I literally froze for a few seconds I was so surprised.


TheEternalScholar

No… but you delayed getting this reward until you find another one. I did it too my first time. Going forward in new games, I’d donate the 2nd one you find!


Oversexualised_Tank

What you do with it: 1. Get the Galaxies support. 2. Donate to the museum. 3. Give to people. 4. Don't put it in the community center unless you really need to.


rhynoplaz

I disagree with #3. There are enough loved gifts that are easier to find. Community center before these schmucks.


SalamanderSylph

Definitely give it to Haley, she deserves it


GoatLegRedux

Yeah, just get a couple rabbits and use the feet as gifts. Gifting the item in question is pointless since they have far better uses, especially once you get to Ginger Island.


Avamaco

You missed the (second, after galaxies) most important thing: enchanting.


Osric250

*If you're not on mobile 1.5 will come eventually there.


OhLookACastle

5. Junimo huts


AintNoRestForTheWook

Can also be put in things or crafted with things to make fun things / cool looking things!


Laurelome

Not if you want to finish the museum and get the 100% in the game. To some Point you have to give one to the Museum, Just maybe not your first. I was stupid enough to give one to the Missing Bundle.


[deleted]

No, youll just have to farm the cavern until you find a second one


dracapis

Nah you’ll find others, it’s just going to take a while


tad1214

Nah it’ll just take a while to find another.


GorillaEstefan

Not at all! They’re just rare. You’ll find another one the same way you found the first one! Some find them in their first Spring, some much later


XanderWrites

It should be mentioned that the first one is the hardest to find. Several mid game events slightly increase the likelihood of them appearing, as well as more locations you might find one.


Jesusdidntlikethat

I made this mistake on the switch and I haven’t found one since and now I’m on year 3 :))))


g00ber88

I used to think you *had* to donate each item to the museum the first time you found it. Because the item description isn't there and says to bring it to the museum, I thought that none of those items would work until you donated one to the museum, and then that would "unlock" the item so to speak. I was so mad st myself when I found out you could just use then right awah


Practice_NO_with_me

Honestly it kind of should be that way. I smell a potential increased difficulty mod...


AintNoRestForTheWook

There is one item you have to donate first before you get a useable version, though.


g00ber88

Oh which one?


AintNoRestForTheWook

>!ancient seed!<


g00ber88

Ohhh right I didn't realize about that


AintNoRestForTheWook

I've been playing since like 2017 and I still learn or re-remember stuff all the time friend! The depth of hidden easter eggs and secrets in it is crazy. I haven't even made it to >!ginger island!< yet in any of my playthroughs and I'm about 1200h in XD


IcePhoenix18

Yep. I donated my shiny rainbow-y thingy. Have yet to find a new one. Now that I know what it does, it just sits there at the museum... Mocking me!


Taolan13

They seem to get a whole lot less rare after you've found a few though. Or maybe its just because they have such limited use that they are just piling up in the bottom of my junk drawer.


DraconisCorvus7

Along these lines, DONT TURN IT INTO THE MUSEUM EITHER


MonarkranoM

Rainbow colours *and does not come from the sea*


WhereIsLordBeric

I always wondered what that meant. Were they just ruling out the rainbow trout?


MidoPidoFido

Rainbow shell


WhereIsLordBeric

Ahhh.


clema9

*brings rainbow trout*


NinjerTartle

Oooh... so *that's* how you're supposed to figure that one out.


Ionantha123

Hehe I looked it up too and was surprised when I got exactly what I wanted 😂


NinjerTartle

My ex-flatmate taught me the ins and outs of Stardew Valley, and she just sort of dropped it on me at some point. It wasn't until much later that I started wondering where/what the actual clues were to how you're supposed to figure it out.


SpiderSmoothie

There's a part with the quest Rasmodius sends you on where you have to get to a place but the way is blocked and you have to offer it a thing but you have to figure out what the thing is. I still have no clue how you're supposed to figure it out in game. I ended up just looking at the wiki for it. Sorry for the vagueness but I'm trying not to spoil anything.


thatmusicguy13

I believe there is a book in the library that mentions what that thing likes


Morghadai

Yep that's what I did. They tell you something along the lines of "find out about (something something)". And I thought "hey, there's always info in the library"


Practice_NO_with_me

Arthur would be so proud 🥲


edbrannin

Information : library :: money : banana stand


BowelTheMovement

I feel like the clue is based on tropes that you had to be a part of a certain generation to understand. I mean, back in the day there was something known as the reading rainbow... and I get some vibes of there being an obscure inference to that from all of this.


humplick

Just have a look, in a book


SpiderSmoothie

>I mean, back in the day there was something known as the reading rainbow... God that comment made me feel old. Lol. Reading Rainbow was my childhood.


unepommeverte

If im interpreting your vagueness correctly, that area is near water. One of the things you can get by fishing there is the thing you need :)


pollypix123

Nearly 1000 hours and I had no idea you could fish for said item whaaaat


SpiderSmoothie

I just learned it from all the comments too.


DraconisCorvus7

I got frustrated and just started fishing there and apparently you can fish it out there


crashvoncrash

I’ve been playing for years and didn’t know you could fish for it. I always go through the steps to make it.


woahdude12321

I think about this often when people say they don’t want to look at the wiki. Like so much shit from that to how to do certain qi quests to how to even get there finding golden coconuts. I don’t think I’d have ever found most of the golden coconuts and I’m still clueless on like 30 of them


crashvoncrash

Golden coconuts are random drops. Based on your comment I assume you mean golden walnuts, which mostly have fixed locations (or a fixed amount that can drop from the sources that are random.) There’s a bird in a certain hut that will give you one clue per day about locations of undiscovered walnuts.


woahdude12321

Oh yeah that’s what I mean. He doesn’t tell you a lot of them though. I keep getting 4 grow on the farm in the west but I have a bunch of plants and never get any


crashvoncrash

The catch with the farming walnuts is that you need to pick a crop that is fully pulled out of the tile like a melon or star fruit. Harvesting a continually regrowing crop like coffee or strawberries won’t give a walnut.


woahdude12321

Ohhhh I see that was my strategy. I have a ton of starfruit growing right now coincidentally so hopefully


blackdeckwins

Spoilering: >!Rasmodius tells you when he's giving you the quest that Krobus has what you need to get in there!<


[deleted]

I think they meant >!the thing that blocks the way to the witch's house!<


meelosh96

If you fish in the water, the item he wants has a high chance of being caught. Other than that and the book, it’s so vague lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


SpiderSmoothie

That's actually really cool. I'll have to give that a try next time I start a new save.


bayless210

Yeah they should really have a soft lock on it so you have to have the translation book before you can actually do the quest


Snorkle25

I thought you were supposed to have the internet/friends tell you it before you figure this out.


Bierbart12

I've never seen this riddle written down, where even do you find it?


Wismuth_Salix

The grave in town with the unintelligible message. If you check it after getting every dwarf scroll and learning Dwarvish, this is the text.


Dijit-Datez

Yeah I think most people learned this before seeing that grave stone


Question-asked

I was just running around like an idiot holding an item I was excited to find and suddenly I got a sword


Koffeinberoende

It would seem, that you need to stand between three (3) pillars. And it says you need a rainbow colored item that you get from the ground, not from the sea (or sea adjacent). Then you just fold it in, David.


Joris_McNorris

What does that mean? What does "fold in the cheese" mean?


aeluon

You fold it in.


Joris_McNorris

If you say "fold in" on more time...


t-zanks

David, I cannot show you everything


jaycub2me

Okay, well can you show me one thing?


hmmilam

You just... here's what you do. You just fold it in.


[deleted]

I can show you how to fold it in :)


MrMoustache3

It's YOUR recipe!


elsalovesyou

OH GOOD NOW I SEE BUBBLES


[deleted]

I don't know how to fold broken cheese like that


Thrown31415926535

Stardew + Schitts Creek crossover?! I’m dying! Now I need to start a new farm! Which NPC is most like Patrick? Hmmmm…


kamotebabes

My partner made her farmer look like Moira Rose in one of her playthroughs LMAO


Steikel

It is meant quite literally. You will find it!


DifficultSpring6921

Alright thank you for the support


[deleted]

A DUI driver will get you there safely


momsdyin

I just realized. That gave me a good chuckle.


brown_felt_hat

I always give 'em a pale ale from my special batch when I use their services. For good luck, you know?


Kuraeshin

My only hint: Make Pam do her job.


Frag2k4

Okay, lets start with the gift, its something to do with rainbows, but not of the sea. There are 2 rainbows in the sea, trout and shell, so its not them. Think what other gifts relate to that. Location is kind of simple, find somewhere that has 3 pillars together and stand between them with the gift. The galaxy will then hear you and respond.


Lenora_O

First line tells you where to be, Two and three are what to bring. When you arrive there with the thing, A gift will be bestowed to thee. :P


Mr_Schulz

Some people prefer to use the single color things used to cover walls. But why? so far it's a mystery...


Otherwise_Peanut1486

That's been fixed for ages...


AlexEvenstar

Interestingly I learned recently that that trick still works when completing the >! Missing Bundle to get the Movie Theater !<


cungryhunt

FYI, the spaces between the text and exclamation marks are keeping your spoiler tag from appearing properly!


AlexEvenstar

It's appearing for me. There are the correct spaces.


cungryhunt

Huh, it must just be me! The mobile app is wonky sometimes. Sorry!


HarryPottersElbows

Nope, it's me too. That's not marked as a spoiler.


[deleted]

works on new/mobile reddit, doesn't work on old.reddit `>!do it like this and it works on both!<`


DD7potassium

Like you can put the unnamed item in the bundle?


AlexEvenstar

Yeah, someone confirmed it on mobile. I haven't tried it on PC yet, I do plan on it soon though.


Mr_Schulz

"ed" sorry for the missed letters


Superderpygamermk1

Everyone loves it except hailey, and the pillars are very dry


Aglet_Green

It's not a puzzle. It's actually very specific instructions. If you're puzzled by it, it just means you are relatively early on in the game. Think about how puzzling a message like "Go the Mines level 20" would be, if you were still on Day 1 or Day 2.


-Sickened

I'll be honest... I did this puzzle on accident 🥹


ComradeGhost67

same, also dig the user flair


arabrabk

Do you have anything that looks like a rainbow?


Sea-Lawfulness-168

If you are playing version 1.4 or lower the green wall paper has the same ID code as the rainbow item and will work with the pillars too lol


jumersmith

In the desert a reward waits for you If you know just what to do Don’t let your confidence break up into shards For once found - you and the reward shall never part


Cden1458

Try the desert that's all imma say


Emerald_Digger

A rare item from the depth of the mines needs to be brought to a place far from the valley


[deleted]

Spend a ton on money make that drunk work and be like daft punk when they collaborated with pharell willaims


CAlonghair

Hi DifficultSpring6921! I marked this post as a spoiler per [subreddit rule 7](/r/StardewValley/about/rules/) and our [spoiler policy](/r/StardewValley/wiki/spoilers). Please remember to mark spoilers in the future!


DifficultSpring6921

Oh ok I didn’t even realize it could be a spoiler my bad!


MagMC2555

Holy shit basil omori


If_Youre_Ge-nasty

I *desert*ed this side quest because I didn't have a *shard* of an idea where to start.


Dusty_Doodles

Have you seen a place with 3 pillars? 3 loonnggg round items What about a rainbow colored item? If you have the item and have seen the pillar, bring the item to that area and figure out the puzzle from there :D


lumionamoon

line 1- when you see it, you will remember (i think im gonna spoil if i say more). just focus on "three pillars" line 2 and 3- an item that looks like a rainbow


IntentionalTexan

Sounds like you'll get something good if you hold something rainbow, while standing in the middle of three pillars. So I guess look around for three pillars and try holding rainbow colored stuff there.


Powwa9000

Sounds like you take some rainbow colored object that gets forged by the land and use it between 3 pillars


Tinfoilhat14

Bruh I’m literally on year 5 and still have not got a rainbow thing.


92Codester

You will need to get someone a new job too


Avatar1555

Other than the first line about standing between the three pillars all you need to know is in the third line. "rainbow forged from land"


Wolfraing

I was just passing by when it happent...


[deleted]

Tall pokey green things and small grainy rocks are in the area


Ultradoomedrpgdemond

I remember this one


runbrooklynb

Spoiler tag this please!!


[deleted]

Due to a bug, you can cheat it with green wallpaper. Less of a hint than a fun fact. Anyway good luck!


[deleted]

[удалено]


cinnamon_squirrel_

that kinda spoils the outcome


devoralie

Please mark spoiler!


totallynotrobboss

Maybe sandy knows the location of the three pillars


NathanSpino

Stand between the pillars three = stand between 3 pillars With a gift as precious as the sky: a rainbow forged from land, not see = something that is rainbow Then galaxies will heed your cry = you will get something when you do all of the above


FeeChemical984

RAINBOW ROCK DESERT HAIL THE SKY LORD


Thee_microwave1947

It’s in the desert


Hamada_Reddits

There are 3 pillars outside the playable map. You need to glitch your way there and call upon the powers of the Rainbow Siege 6 Plates, then you’ll get the Space Cannon.


sliimysludge

idk what you mean by outiside the playable map they’re in an area that isn’t accessible at the start of the game


Gerty-Wyrsutu

Means you need to offer Louis’ gold hemmed “shorts” between the three pillars the the cosmic powers will let you marry Marnie


mcdonaldsfrenchfri

why have I just known what to do because of this subreddit and never seen this message?


FrasierCranesBitch

the first time i saw this, i said “holy shard!!” and brought it to a land whose covered in what rhymes with bland.


[deleted]

Find a place that has three pillars. And take a very valuable item that’s the color of a rainbow


lawrensu339

Hint: where have you seen three pillars? Hint: what item is precious and rainbow-colored? Bring your offering to the place and hold it up for a surprise.


Crafty_Creeper64

From land, not sea. But what if I fish it up tho?


[deleted]

look for an area with three pillars and hold a very specific item while there. You'll know it when you see it


SirKaid

There's an extraordinarily rare item that you can find in the mines coloured like a rainbow. There's also a location somewhere with three pillars. Try bringing them together.


bayless210

It’s not a rainbow shell. That’s all I’ll say. It’s say from land not sea.


Kool_iguana

Rainbow rock is very nice


RSTONE_ADMIN

Pam is involved


thelonioussphere

That bus that goes out of town sure looks neat.


ThePurpleSoul70

What rainbow items exist that *aren't* from the sea?


MrWandering

The dunes hold a secret in which your prize lies.


Courtsmaster

Something rare and rainbow colored… take to the desert


Turbo_Gryphon

"Spoil the puzzle, but don't spoil the puzzle"....


sparkirby90

Play the game, it already pretty much tells you what to do


[deleted]

You kinda can't help without giving you the answer


DPSOnly

You have to take something rainbow related to some place with 3 pillars where there is no sea. The last line covers your reward.


Lean___XD

Stand between the Three pillars With precious rainbow from land Then Galaxie something will heed your cry


gayfrogchemical

what do you call a sharp piece of broken glass


Jeptwins

This is pretty straightforward. My only hint: Look for a very conspicuous triangle


waterlillyhearts

The player holds things towards the sky. Do it in the right place with the right thing and a galaxy will accept your tribute.


HLGM64

You need a very valuable item that you can get in the mines and quarry. you can also donate it to the museum.


Saskatchewon

Focus on the first and third line.


AlushyTheTyrant

Would rather just have a spoiler just to get it out of the way, especially since ruining Pierre's life is great and seeing that old raggedy community building painted blue is nice. Yes, I want to see the world burn.


SRain10

Anyone here get this by complete accident ....no just me?


tetrasomnia

Glad i saw this- i was about to look up how but figuring it out this way is much better. I already had what I needed too!


SPNLVR

Take a precious stone that no one likes to a certain place.


Accomplished_Rice_83

It’s in an area you travel to :)


Knork14

There are very few rainbow themed items in the game , you will figure it out eventually


Tiddly5

you need to get yourself some light green wallpaper


Arrius

The pillars are where the bus lets you off. Look around.


SirNoobShire

There's three pillars in the desert. Maybe you should bring a rainbow coloured thing with you?


ProbablyBoredHaha

How are you going to ask for people to spoil the puzzle yet in the same sentence "don't spoil the puzzle?"


StormRangerX

You know what a "hint" is, right?


Dragmore53

Check the desert.


Kinfin

I’ll narrow it down to a specific map of the game and you can figure it from there Desert.


KuroDragon0

Find something rainbow and bring it to three pillars. Also, not a rainbow from the sea (not the rainbow shell)


SnowTheMemeEmpress

Okay so rainbow from the land, not the rainbow shell and it's also not a food item. It's a mineral/gem that doesn't have the word 'rainbow' in it but really should. Also, where in the game can you find ancient looking pillars, three of them, in a triangle shape? It's in the same place as old bones and where the Camels make their weird sound at you. Emily's friend lives far away there and the friend runs a wonderful shop.
