Welcome, Stardew Valley farmers! Today, we’re diving headfirst into one of the most mysterious and elusive aspects of the game: the enigmatic Strange Capsule. If you’ve been playing this fantastic farm-simulation RPG for a while, you might have heard whispers about this alien artifact. But what is it? And what’s inside the Strange Capsule? Let’s find out!

What Is Strange Capsule in Stardew Valley?

Stardew Valley is full of surprises, and the Strange Capsule is no exception. This rare event only happens during random farm events that occur after you’ve gone to bed. The likelihood of finding a Strange Capsule is super low—less than 1%—so if you manage to find one, consider yourself truly fortunate!

This mysterious item appears overnight on your farm and resembles a large, green, egg-shaped pod. It’s covered in pulsating lights and alien-like patterns. But what’s inside? And why did it land on your farm? To answer that, we need to delve deeper into the world of random farm events.

Random Farm Events: A Series of Unpredictable Occurrences

The Strange Capsule is just one of many random farm events that can happen in Stardew Valley. These events often catch players off-guard and add a layer of excitement to the game. Some examples include the appearance of a meteorite, the arrival of a witch who leaves you a void egg, or the charming fairy who helps your crops grow.

Random farm events occur while your character sleeps and are determined by a hidden “luck” value that influences various aspects of the game, such as the success of fishing or the chance of finding rare items in the mines. However, the Strange Capsule is one of the rarest and most mysterious events of all.

What’s Inside the Strange Capsule?

Now, this is where things get interesting. What exactly is lurking inside this peculiar object? Spoiler alert: it’s an alien! That’s right, an extraterrestrial being has found its way to your humble farm.

The alien inside the Strange Capsule is quite small, and it’s a cute little green creature with one large eye. It’s a purely cosmetic addition to your farm, meaning it won’t provide any in-game benefits. However, it’s a fantastic conversation starter and a fun Easter egg for players who are lucky enough to experience this rare event.

But wait, there’s more! There’s a secret alien roaming around the game, and you might be wondering: how can I find the secret alien?

How Can I Find the Secret Alien?

As if the Strange Capsule wasn’t mysterious enough, there’s another secret alien hiding in Stardew Valley. This one’s a bit trickier to find, but we’ve got you covered with a step-by-step guide!

  1. Get the Magnifying Glass: First things first, you need to acquire the Magnifying Glass, which allows you to find hidden notes throughout the game. To get it, you must complete the “A Winter Mystery” quest. This quest becomes available during your first winter in Stardew Valley, and you’ll need to follow a mysterious figure (Shadow Guy) in the Bus Stop area.
  2. Find Secret Note #23: With the Magnifying Glass in hand, you can now find secret notes. Keep playing until you find Secret Note #23. This note contains a cryptic message that reads: “Mermaid Show 1-5-4-2-3.” Remember this sequence!
  3. Attend the Night Market: The Night Market is a special event that occurs during winter (15-17th). Make sure to attend and head for the Mermaid Show. This is where the secret alien comes into play.
  1. Solve the Mermaid Puzzle: At the Night Market, go to the Mermaid Show and watch the performance. After the show, you’ll notice there are five shells at the bottom of the boat. To summon the secret alien, click on the shells in the order specified in Secret Note #23 (1-5-4-2-3).
  2. Meet the Secret Alien: Once you’ve clicked the shells in the correct order, the secret alien will appear! It’s another small, green, one-eyed creature, just like the one found in the Strange Capsule. However, this alien is holding a pearl—a unique item that you can use as a gift or sell for a decent amount of gold.
