Unlocking all of the achievements in Stardew Valley is no easy feat. Of course, that’s not least of all because there are so many different Stardew Valley achievements to work towards, as well as hidden achievements and the like. As a result, knowing how to tackle this unique challenge is definitely worthwhile, and today, we’re looking at some of the key things you should know about how to get all of the Stardew Valley achievements in your game to help.
How to Get All Stardew Valley Achievements in the Game
If you’re looking to start a more ambitious game in Stardew Valley, working towards the many different achievements could really help. As part of this, it’s well worth considering the following achievements and their requirements to help
Main Achievements
There are 46 different “main” achievements in Stardew Valley that you may want to work towards as part of your game. These can be broken down into a couple of handy groups based on their requirements.
Earning Achievements
There are four main “earnings” achievements in the game: Greenhorn, Cowpoke, Homesteader, and Millionaire, representing earnings of 15,000g, 50,000g, 250,000g, and one million g respectively. These achievements are based on total in-game earnings. The Cowpoke achievement is likely to be one of the very earliest achievements you’ll unlock in the game.
Museum
There are two main achievements for the museum in Stardew Valley. The first is the Treasure Trove trophy, awarded once you have donated a total of forty items. Going one step further still, the Complete Collection trophy is then awarded after completing the museum collection in full.
Friendship and Relationships
Friendship is an important measure in Stardew Valley, and there are several achievements relating to this. These include the following:
- A New Friend: reach five hearts with one NPC
- Best Friends: reach ten hearts with one NPC

- Networking: Reach five hearts with ten NPCs
- Popular: Reach five hearts with twenty NPCs

Cooking
Another important activity in Stardew Valley is cooking, and there are several different achievements relating to this. These include the Cook, Sous Chef, and Gourmet Chef achievements for cooking, ten, twenty-five, and all recipes, respectively. In addition, you can also unlock the An Unforgettable Soup achievement for contributing ingredients that lead to the best possible soup in the Luau that delights the governor.
House Upgrades
There are two main achievements in Stardew Valley for upgrading your home. The first of these is the Moving Up achievement, which is awarded after upgrading your house for the first time. The second achievement, Living Large, is then given once you have upgraded to the maximum allowable size.
Crafting
Crafting has three different achievements attached to it, similarly to the cooking achievements in Stardew Valley. These are DIY, Artisan, and Craft Master, awarded after crafting fifteen, thirty, and all items.
Fishing
With so many fish species in Stardew Valley, it’s not much of a surprise that fishing represents one of the major in-game achievements. The first award is the Fisherman award, which is given out after catching 10 different fish. Ol’ Mariner is for 24 different fish, and Mother Catch is awarded once you have caught a total of one hundred fish in the game. Finally, the Master Angler trophy is awarded for catching at least one of every fish species in the game.
Help Wanted Quests
Occasionally, the villagers in Stardew Valley will need a little help from their friendly local farmer, which is where “Help Wanted Quests” come in. These quests task the player with getting hold of certain ingredients or resources for the NPCs. After completing ten of these quests, you’ll unlock the Gofer achievement; then, after a total of forty requests, you’ll unlock the A Big Help achievement.
Crop Shipping Quests
Monoculture, Polyculture, and Full Shipment are three main achievements available for shipping crops grown on your Stardew Valley farm. In order to unlock these, you’ll need to complete the following requirements:
- Polyculture: Ship fifteen of each crop type
- Monoculture: Ship three hundred of one crop type
- Full Shipment: After shipping one of every item (tracked in the Collections tab) you’ll unlock the full shipment achievement.
Skills
Leveling up your skills is an important aspect of any Stardew game, and there are two achievements related to leveling up your skills. These include the Singular Talent achievement, for reaching level one in a skill, and Master of the Five Ways for maxing out every skill in the game.
Combat and Adventuring
There are numerous different achievements in Stardew Valley relating to combat and exploration. These include The Bottom, Protector of the Valley, Danger in the Deep, and Infinite Power.
Miscellaneous
In addition to the aforementioned achievements, it’s worth keeping in mind that there are several other achievements in Stardew Valley you could unlock. These include the following:
- Prairie King: Beat the Journey of the Prairie King game in the Stardrop Saloon
- Two Thumbs Up: Watch a movie at the Movie Theater
- Perfection: After achieving perfection, reach the summit for the first time.
- Mystery of the Stardrops: Find all stardrops within the game
- A Distant Shore: Reach Ginger Island
- Well-Read: Read every power book in the game
- Blue Ribbon: Place first in the Stardew Valley fair
Hidden Achievements
In addition to the aforementioned main achievements, Stardew Valley also has a couple of sneaky “hidden” achievements. These are not directly mentioned as quests and are instead only mentioned once you have met the requirements. The two Stardew
Valley hidden achievements are:
- Legend (earn a total of ten million g)
- Fector’s Challenge (Beat the Journey of a Prairie King achievement without dying at any point)
Is it Possible to Unlock All Stardew Valley Achievements in a Single Game?
While it’s no small undertaking, if you’re looking to fully complete the game, it is absolutely possible to unlock all of the achievements in a single game of Stardew Valley - with the exception of one. Indeed, depending on whether you choose the JojaMart or Community Center route will influence whether you achieve the Local Legend or Joja Co Member of the Year
However, this naturally requires a great deal of careful planning and dedication - and, given the amount you’ll need to play to make this happen, you may want to look at starting your own dedicated Stardew Valley server with Scala Cube to ensure 24/7 uptime and a consistent, lag-free experience.
