Stardew Valley features exciting seasonal Festivals to keep the game exciting and players fully engaged throughout the year. Among these festivities is the captivating Spirit's Eve Festival, a yearly event that starts at 10 PM on the 27th of Fall. This festival channels the spirit of Halloween, transforming Stardew Valley with its spooky decorations and the flickering glow of Jack-O-Lanterns.
The main attraction of the Spirit’s Eve Festival is the Haunted Maze, where the Golden Pumpkin is hidden. It is rumored that M. Rasmodius, commonly known as The Wizard, had spent the entire day perfecting every intricate detail and poured all his energy into creating a maze that would truly be terrifying.
Stardew Valley: Best Festivals, Ranked
There are several festivals for players to enjoy in Stardew Valley. Here's how they stack up.
How to Get Through the Haunted Maze
Every year on Spirit’s Eve, the residents of Pelican Town gather to navigate through this spooky maze. However, the majority of the townsfolk are too frightened or confused to continue. Abigail gets stuck in the maze as she is afraid of the intimidating spiders and can’t walk past them. Meanwhile, Jodi refuses to allow her son, Vincent, to venture into the maze as she thinks it is “too scary for children.”
To get through the Haunted Maze successfully, players should simply follow the path until they reach what resembles a cemetery. Just below this area, there is a signboard with a question mark (?) on it. Sam, who is standing in the cemetery, thinks this is a dead-end. However, if players walk straight through the hedges next to the sign, they’ll discover a secret passage.
By navigating through the passage, players can find a hidden cave to the North. The inside of the cave is not visible, so players must blindly continue moving to the right until they eventually exit the cave. Upon exiting, players will find themselves in the treasure section of the Haunted Maze.
Players can enhance their visibility by equipping a Glow Ring, as it emits light and will assist them in easily keeping track of their movements.
Rewards
Inside the treasure chest, players can find a Golden Pumpkin. The only other location in the game where the Golden Pumpkin can be found is the Artifact Trove. The Golden Pumpkin is a universally loved gift and can be tailored into a Witch Hat. It can be sold for 2,500 gold through the Shipping Bin.
After collecting the Golden Pumpkin, players can make their way back to the entrance of the maze to leave.
Stardew Valley is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
