Can You Complete Stardew Valley WITHOUT The Starter Tools? - DPadGamer

Following on from my video in which I accumulated 1 million gold without even leaving the farm, I was thinking about another challenge for Stardew Valley and well, I finally settled on the idea of ​​playing the game without the initial

tools

that said I came close to this. as more of a theory building challenge rather than an actual playback because I thought that would allow me to upload the video faster, but that didn't really work. Also, I only discovered while editing this video that this topic had already been partially covered before by Spark Wand. It's a great video from a great channel, so check it out.

After this one onwards, let's discuss the various aspects of Stardew Valley to answer. the question: can you

complete

Stardew Valley without the starting

tools

that say you can't really delete? starting tools or destroy them permanently, but you can put them in a chest and never think about them again. We use the honor system while inflicting challenge based pain here on this channel on the topic of pain, let's start with minds, browsing through minds is important because it allows us to obtain stones and minerals and combat experience, among other things, without the beak. How are we going to break the rocks and get down to level 2 or more?

The only possible way without the pickaxe is by using bombs, but how? we get bombs well, we can't make cherry bombs until mine level 1, we can't buy bombs until we open the corridor to the dwarf, who only talks to us after getting the dwarf scrolls, we can't farm rock crab bombs . and duggies until we get deep enough to find them, fortunately we can still get bombs outside the mines. One way would be to collect 42,000 gold by fishing and forging to unlock the bus through the community center or simply paying 40,000 gold to your corporate overlords uh then we take a bus to the calico desert and exchange five quarters that can be obtained by checking the trash cans to the desert merchant for a single bomb uh alternatively we can wait until the second year for ken to return to town build some friendship with him and wait until he mails us a gift which can be a battery, a cherry bomb, a bomb or a mega bomb, let's not stop at the fact that the most reasonable method would be that of the street merchants who appear every Friday and Sunday south of the their stocks change every time and vary according to the items, in any case , they may sell all three types of pumps.

You just have to check every Friday and Sunday, but that would be very difficult, so it's kind of a cheat, but you can use stardu. The quote predictor simulates the random number generator used in Stardew Valley and makes predictions about the game after reading the save file, which simply means we can look ahead and find out when the trader will have the bombs in stock and how much we paid for. . spring coma I bought some bombs from the traveling merchant, saved the game and entered the mines. You need to use the bombs sparingly and you may be unlucky, but I was able to get down to floor 5 without too much trouble, this unlocks the elevator and allows you to farm reliable enemies by traveling up to floor 5 instead of hoping to find enemies on floor 1.

As I mentioned before, raw crabs and duggies can drop bombs, which means no more tracking of street traders. Once you have some bombs, you can destroy rocks and minerals. until you reach mining level 1, unlock cherry bomb crafting onwards, the next big milestone for mines would be unlocking the dwarf merchant. A cherry bomb can be used to break the rock blocking it, but the difficulty is getting the scrolls. There are four scrolls, each of which drops from various monsters or tills dirt on certain floors, it's very tedious, but if someone were to repeatedly visit the mines and go down the levels, you could eventually get all four scrolls without needing the pickaxe and I'm someone.

I'm the one who did it, I did it, uh, it didn't even take that long, only five and a half hours after playing, it was no big deal, so that's mine covered, the next big hurdle is farming for this, there are two routes, the first one is pretty simple, just grind goldstone, get some wood and have Robin build a chicken coop, then steal some chickens from Marny and take care of them until you reach level 2 farming for sprinklers. This works because petting a farm animal, milking a cow, or the goats sharing a sheep collecting an animal product in the chicken coop all give 5 XP each, but don't go for the pigs because collecting truffles gives experience foraging, not farming, the more traditional plant-based farming route is a little more complicated without a watering can.

What are we going to do? One idea I had was to get striper shoots from the general store and plant them next to a water source like a pond, lake or river, this irrigates them meaning they grow faster and don't need to be watered manually. but harvesting rice sprouts requires a scythe, that's a problem now, but we'll get to that later. It turns out that watering crops is not as big a problem as I first thought. Crops will only dry out and die when the seasons change, otherwise they may disappear. days or weeks without being watered is fine, so if you plant some fast-growing crops, such as garlic parsnips or bok choy at the beginning of the proper season, they will most likely grow before the end of the month because there are four days of rain in a single month. is not very rare, a better method would be to use basic or luxury quality retention soil if you don't know that those items have a 33, 66 percent, and 100 chance, respectively, of retaining the water state of one tile each. night and discovered that even with basic soil retain soils 33 purchase possibilities in a pure store for not much, you can get more than a few crops to grow by starting with a single day of rain without too much effort again, reaching agricultural level 2 is the goal, since sprinklers make the watering can basically irrelevant Now that we've covered mining and farming, let's look at the community center, the gold standard for progression for most players, the crafting room consists mainly of forge packs are no problem, no tools needed, build pack is a little more complicated, we can't use ax to destroy. tree stumps, but you can still get hardwood by breaking boxes in mines or by working as a forester for a chance to get hardwood from trees.

The pantry is full of packages that require growing under our restrictions, probably after getting some sprinklers. they are farmable and harvestable, the fish tank requires fish, imagine, the only package that requires a hard to reach fish would be the special fish package, we can reach the ocean mine deserts without problems, but no amount of bombs will allow us to enter these secret forests for wood jumping is blocked by a special log that requires an upgraded ax to destroy the only other hope of obtaining it within the challenge would be in the forest farm which is cool, the boiler room requires metal bars, minerals and monster drops, all of which can be obtained. with bombs and weapons, the vault is of course doable, it only requires defeating the fiercest enemy in the game, capitalism, the bulletin board requires the most diverse elements, so let's go through them little by little for the chef's package, syrup maple, truffles, poppy, fried eggs, they are not all. problem the fiddlehead fern is normally a summer forage in cedar forests but can also be found on the prehistoric floors of skull caverns for the dye pack everything can be obtained without any special requirements the same with the research pack field that for the fodder package that We are in a difficult situation, apple and hay are not a problem, but wheat, oh man, wheat, as you already know, wheat is grown from wheat seeds and requires a scythe or golden scythe to harvest.

Big emphasis on the requirement, you can't use your hands and yes. I verified that you can't bomb wheat into surrender, it's just destroyed, but wait, think about our bomb source, street traders can sell so many things, including wheat, you'll need to buy 10 wheat, which could take weeks, months and even years, but it is possible, which means you can

complete

the bulletin board, which means you can complete the community center, which means you can fix Willy's boat, which means we can get to Ginger Island, which puts us within reach of completing the bonus game, the missing package that appears in the abandoned Jojo Mart is actually doable without any of the starting tools, so okay, now we can complete Ginger Island without the starting tools.

Well, it has a few main components, most of which overlap, there's the volcano dungeon, the island field office, and your donations. nuts scattered everywhere and some other things. The volcano dungeon is trivial without the pickaxe, but what about the watering can? You see that the dungeon is unique and has numerous pieces of lava that are expected to water using the can to form cooled rock platforms to Cross most of this should be optional, but not the first piece of lava. Just inside the entrance is a parrot who offers to build a permanent bridge across the entrance, but he only appears after you've completed the dungeon at least once to block it.

Outside of the entire dungeon, the field office requires the donation of a bunch of fossils specific to Ginger Island, some require fishing, one must be swept, but most come from breaking bone nodes with bombs or excavating artifact points, whose Artifact points are not destroyed on the ground when an explosive is used, believe me, I checked, Stanley couldn't collect all the animal bones, he will never get those three golden nuts, even worse, I won't be able to see him raise any criticism, what a disappointment in That topic, there is a total of 130 gold. nuts scattered around ginger island there are 19 locks inside the volcano dungeon, one in leo's cabin that requires an ax and the three in the field office that are not available the rest should be fine without the starting tools the hidden nuts underground they can be dug up using bombs and there are many that are simply picked up or dropped while growing things as such.

We should still be able to enter Mr. Q's secret nut room, which requires 100 nuts. Inside we will find the perfection tracker that will clearly tell us that uh. We're not going to get 100 perfection without all the nuts, I can still sell them for a little longer to figure out how close we can get, regardless, let's do the numbers for shipping things we can't harvest amaranth, kale, rice without grind and wheat because they all require the site oh wait, we can seek salvation in the traveling merchant and shipping these items counts towards perfection, but it might take quite a while to get all the items, that means we can ship 100 of the items, which gives us 15 for perfection. all the obelisks can be built, the only tricky ingredient is the dragon tooth for the island obelisk, but all you have to do is kidnap some stingrays and let them produce the dragon teeth in a fish pond which adds another four percent to the tracker.

The golden watch requires 10 million. gold, you could do it without tools, that's 10 percent more. The monster slayer hero requires the game to finish off all the monsters. The only ones we can't reach are inside the volcano dungeon, so magma sprites and excavated goals are impossible, which means we can add another one. 8.3 percent for our tracker, the big friend goal should be totally feasible. I mean, there are a lot of universal likes, so this is another 11 we can add. We've already seen how to use and level each skill without the starting tools, so that's another five percent.

We can mark to catch each fish, the wooden jump is one of the few difficult ones that can be accessed again with the forest farm. I have yet to find any objective that at least for this challenge requires a different type of farm so there are no conflicts. so far that means we can add another 10 to our list, it also gives us a master fisherman for which we are rewarded with a willy star on that topic, there are seven stars in the game, one is the old master reward cannoli in the secret forests that are unreachable, the only other challenge is the reward for donating each artifact and mineral to the museum.

We can get all the minerals using bombs, getting them from inside the geodes as loot from monsters or even in the trash can for the royal artifacts 24. of them are available through artifact treasures that can be farmed in the skull caverns , 11 other different artifacts werecan be obtained from bone nodes that can be opened, although some have alternative options without digging and three more different artifacts can be obtained through the fishing chest and Finally, there are the four dwarven scrolls that we have already covered, which the covers everyone, so it's possible, which means we can add another 8.5 to our total, since we've already covered the nuts, we know there are 107 that can be obtained, which is about 4.1 per percent of perfection in cooking is, man, there are so many lists, the only complicated recipes are stir-fry and salmon dinner, since they call for amaranth and kale.

Thanks again to the traveling merchant, these are doable, unfortunately we can't learn the genus beer recipe as it's locked in the volcano dungeon, huh, the other 79, one recipe should be fine, which adds another 9.8 per cent to the total of our latest creation. There are 129 items to craft in single player and 130 in multiplayer because you add the wedding ring, but we all know that. I'm alone, I mean I'm playing alone. I was very careful. I scanned the list looking at the first ingredients and then looking at the recipe sources, all the ingredients or I guess materials should be fine but there are some items we can't.

I ever learned under the current restrictions, that is, the field office ostrich incubator, in addition, the warp totem island recipe is purchased from the volcano dungeon dwarf. I think that means we can create 127 items, which means I can finally answer the question posed in the title. Can you complete Stardew Valley without the

starter

tools? No, no, you can't. That said, you can complete about 95.5 percent of Stardew Valley without the starting tools—all you have to do is abandon traditional thinking, cultivate a love of video game explosions, and ignore the tools stashed in a broom closet. for potentially hundreds and hundreds of years in the game, it's that easy. watching thank you so much to my channel members for your support and a mega size thank you to captain crab for being a super fan if you enjoyed this video consider leaving a like and maybe even subscribe just keep in mind this is not an exclusive channel from Stardew Valley that says i I have two other recent videos that you might enjoy.

That's all for this one. See you goodbye.
