How to get Golden Animal Crackers in Stardew Valley
Golden Animal Crackers can be acquired in a few ways in Stardew Valley 1.6. First, players can earn Golden Animal Crackersfrom fishing treasure chests— although it’s rare and will likely take you a lot of tries until you finally get one.
Additionally, players can get Golden Animal Crackersfrom Artifact Spotsfound across the Stardew Valley map. If you aren’t familiar with Artifact Spots,it’s a tile that guarantees an item when dug into. You will know when you are approaching an Artifact Spot when you see a tile with tiny worms sticking out of it.
I always verify to check areas for Artifact Spots before moving on to another location, and I suggest you do the same.
Lastly, you can earn Golden Animal Crackersfrom Skull Cavern treasure rooms. However, Golden Animal Crackers will not spawn inSkull Cavern Treasure roomsunless you have the Farming Mastery Totem. Players can unlock the Farming Mastery Totem in the newly added Mastery System.
