How to Get a Cherry Bomb

Placing a Cherry Bomb in the Mines in Stardew Valley

The cherry bomb comes in handy in various situations in Stardew Valley. In accordance with its name, it may not be incredibly powerful, but does a great job destroying items within a specific radius. There are multiple ways of acquiring cherry bombs.

  • Players can buy a cherry bomb from the Dwarf for 300g or from a traveling cart for up to 1000g.
  • Rock Carbs or Duggies occasionally drop cherry bombs as loot once they’re killed.
  • 15 cherry bombs can be found in the treasure rooms of Skull Cavern.
  • For players who haven’t upgraded their farms yet, their best bet to acquire cherry bombs is through the supply crates on the beach farm.

How to Craft a Cherry Bomb

Crafting cherry bombs is straightforward as long as players have the necessary ingredients. The ingredients required to craft a cherry bomb are as follows:

  • Four copper ores - They can be purchased from the blacksmith for 75g.
  • One Coal- It can be acquired by recycling trash or purchased from the blacksmith for 15g.

Once players have gathered the necessary ingredients, they can head to the crafting menu to craft a cherry bomb.

Players won’t be able to craft a cherry bomb if they haven’t reached level 1 of mining.

Effects and Radius of Cherry Bomb

Once deployed, a cherry bomb will explode within a few seconds, destroying rocks, foraged minerals, crafted artisan, and even trees (only if their health reaches zero) within the diameter of seven tiles in Stardew Valley.

Players must avoid gifting Cherry bombs to the villagers as it won’t please most of the main characters , including Mayor, Haley, Abigail, Penny, and more.
