Stardew Valley is a game that lets players live the cottage core lifestyle they always wanted, letting them grow out their farm as they interact with residents of Pelican Town and helping them out in any way they can. There is plenty to deal with in the game, but luckily, Stardew Valley does a good job of rewarding the player for reaching specific milestones. If a player earns an achievement, they will have the ability to visit the "Hat Mouse." This cute creature will give a player a specific hat depending on the achievement they earned, with each hat costing the player $1,000.

Where Is The Hat Mouse?

After earning the first achievement, players will receive a letter in the mail the next day from the mouse that reads, "Hi. Me sell hats. Okay, poke? Come to old old old haus, poke. Bring coines. -hat mouse." The "old haus" is referencing the Abandoned House that is located in Cindersap Forest.

To get there, players will need to head south of the farm and walk along the west side of the river. The house will be hard to miss as it is a clearly disheveled structure with a banner that says "hats" on the front of it, as well as the mouse chilling where a door should be.

What Hats Are For Sale?

The mouse can offer the player up to 34 different hats, with each representing a different achievement. They will become immediately available the moment a player earns the achievement, and players can go to the house at any point during the day to go purchase it. As stated earlier, players can purchase these hats for just 1,000 gold each regardless of the hat or achievement associated with it. These hats include:
