Stardew Valley Mole Puzzle Solution
On Ginger Island in Stardew Valley, players need to find Golden Walnuts hidden throughout various activities, including a tricky mole puzzle. This guide will help you solve the mole puzzle and earn a Golden Walnut.
How to Reach the Mole Puzzle
To reach the mole puzzle, you first need to access the western part of Ginger Island. Upon arriving, you’ll see a turtle blocking the entrance on the main beach. To move the turtle, give 10 Golden Walnuts to the nearby parrot. Once the turtle is moved, you can enter the western farm area.
Finding the Mole
Head southwest from the farmhouse, cross the river, and you’ll arrive at a beach where the mole puzzle is located. The mole has five potential holes to emerge from. Here’s how to solve the puzzle:
Mole Puzzle Solution 1: Using Placeable Objects
- Trap the Mole: If you have completed the Mermaid Song quest, you can use 5 Flute Blocks from the southeast part of the island. Place the Flute Blocks on three of the holes. This will trap the mole in one of the remaining holes.
- Whack the Mole: While the mole is trapped in the only open hole, use an axe, pickaxe, or watering can to hit it.
Mole Puzzle Solution 2: Using a Copper or Higher Watering Can
- Charge Attack: The simplest method requires a Copper or higher-quality watering can. Stand a short distance from the mole, charge your watering can, and then hit the mole out of its hole.
Regardless of the method you use, solving the mole puzzle will reward you with 1 Golden Walnut. This puzzle is one of several challenges on Ginger Island. Near the farmhouse, you’ll also find a cave with a Gourmand Frog that requests you plant certain crops for him.
