In this guide, you will learn how to get a Golden Pumpkin while playing Stardew Valley.
Where to Find a Golden Pumpkin in Stardew Valley
The Golden Pumpkin can be obtained randomly inside the Artifact Troves and is also available during the Spirit’s Eve Festival.
Spirit’s Eve Festival
Spirit’s Eve Festival is Stardew Valley’s version of Halloween. This festival is usually held on the 27th of Fall each year. The town is decorated with a smattering of Zombie hands and cobwebs. One of the special attractions is a maze that has allegedly been created by the Wizard.
On the eve of this festival, you can even collect rare articles such as a rare-crow, a Jack-O-Lantern, and the Jack-O-Lantern recipe. The Golden Pumpkin is the hardest to obtain. You have to visit the maze and look for a signboard with a question mark. It will be easier to locate if you have a Glow Ring.
Once you see the sign, try walking into the bushes and you will see a secret passage. Follow this route and you will come out and see a secret chest. Upon opening this you will obtain a Golden Pumpkin.
Artifact Troves
There is a chance to get a Golden Pumpkin when you crack open an Artifact Trove, which is a container that has rare items. These are available from the Desert Trader for 5 Omni Geodes. They are also dropped by Haunted Skulls in the Skull Cavern or found in supply crates along the beach. They are sometimes found when you dig up Artifact Spots.
How to Use a Golden Pumpkin in Stardew Valley
