How to Acquire the Galaxy Sword in Stardew Valley

Although Stardew Valley may seem like a peaceful and relaxing farming game at first glance, it also has its challenges. The combat in the Mines and Skull Cavern can be tough, but fortunately, there are ways to improve your chances. One effective method is to obtain a powerful weapon such as the Galaxy Sword. It can make a significant difference in your battles.

Ultimate Guide to Obtaining the Galaxy Sword in Stardew Valley

The Galaxy Sword, which can be obtained by completing a quest, has a damage range of 60-80 and a speed boost of +4. It does not require any payment. If you wish to upgrade your weapon to the mighty Galaxy Sword, follow these steps.

Acquiring the fabled Galaxy Sword requires the acquisition of all four Dwarf Scrolls, deciphering the cryptic Dwarvish headstone located in Pelican Town, and following its guidance to the central pillars in the Calico Desert with a Prismatic Shard in your possession. While this may seem simple in theory, completing the task can prove to be quite challenging. The greatest hurdle will be obtaining a Prismatic Shard. Although tracking down the Dwarf Scrolls may also pose an inconvenience, it is not necessary to locate all four in order to decode the headstone and receive instructions for obtaining the sword. In fact, it is possible to obtain the Galaxy Sword without deciphering the headstone at all.

The Prismatic Shard is a rare item in Stardew Valley that is often referred to as the rainbow forged by land, not sea. It can be obtained through various means, such as breaking apart Mystic Stones in the Mines, finding them inside fishing treasure chests or Omni Geodes, and on extremely rare occasions, from defeating monsters. Another way to obtain Prismatic Shards is by having a Fish Pond on your farm and catching Rainbow Trout at the Mountain Lake or Rivers during sunny Summer days between 6 AM and 7 PM. Place the Rainbow Trout in your Fish Pond and patiently wait for the Prismatic Shards to appear in the catchment. Building a Fish Pond requires 200x Stone, 5x Green Algae, and 5

Where to Take a Prismatic Shard to Get the Galaxy Sword

Having obtained an elusive Prismatic Shard, you are now equipped to acquire the powerful Galaxy Sword. However, this task can only be accomplished if you have access to the Calico Desert.

This can be achieved by completing all Vault Bundles at the Community Center.

If you have access to the Desert, you can purchase a ticket at any time after Pam starts her shift and board the bus. Upon arrival, go to the three pillars located on the northeast side of the Desert and stand in the center while holding your Prismatic Shard. Following a brief cutscene, you will be left holding the Galaxy Sword!
