Stardew Valley: How To Get The Galaxy Sword
The Galaxy Sword is one of the best weapons in Stardew Valley. We can tell you everything you need to know about acquiring this amazing item.
First Task: Lockbox
To reach the tunnel,head west from the Bus Stop,then keep going along the road until you enter the tunnel. Mr. Qi’s lockbox is on the wall inside.
The lockbox’sdoor is in the shadowsbetween two overhead lights.
Hate messing about in the dark? Me too—that’s why I always carry aGlowstone Ring, even outside the Mines.
Opening it up requires aBattery Pack. You can get one from placingLightning Rodaround the farm to protect crops during Summer’s thunderstorms. They generate a battery pack7 days after the storm.
Inside the box you’ll be rewarded with a note and your second task … thanks, I guess. No reward yet! You’ll also add The Mysterious Mr. Qi quest to your journal.
Second Task: Train Station
Mr. Qi’s second task is pretty straightforward:put aRainbow Shellinto the box at the Train Station.
He specifically meansthe boxonthe platform—not one of the other boxes in the area. Fortunately, this is pretty easy to figure out by trial and error.
Getting a Rainbow Shell can be a bit trickier. These shellsonly spawn at the Beach during the Summer,so make sure you check the Beach regularly.
Is summer already over? If youbefriend Demetrius,there’s a chance he’ll send you a Rainbow Shell in the mail.
After depositing the Rainbow Shell, you’ll receive a note with Mr. Qi’s third task.
Third Task: Mayor’s Fridge
Your next mission—should you choose to accept it—is tofill MayorLewis’s fridge withBeet. Ten of them, to be exact.
Beet Seedscan be purchased from the Oasisin Calico Desert. To unlock the Desert, you’ll need to complete all the Vault bundlesin the Community Center.
Doing so costs 42,500g andrepairs the Bus,allowingPamto drive you to Calico Desert. Buying a ticket costs just 500g.
Once you have the seeds, plant ‘em during Fall and grow your Beets. Sandy always has the seeds on sale, so if you’ve missed the season you can still grow some beets in the Greenhouse.
After stocking Mayor Lewis’s fridge with 10 Beets, you’ll find a note with one last challenge from Mr. Qi.
Worried about building up cash to purchase the Vault? My go-to cash crops areBlueberriesandCranberriesbecause they sell well and offer multiple harvests. Plant them in the Greenhouse for year-round gold!

Not quite. “Sand” is your main clue—grab aSolar Essenceand head back over to Calico Desert.

If you investigate the skeleton just north of the Oasis, you’ll receive a text box that the sand dragon “yearns for a taste” of the sun.Use your Solar Essence to give him one.
Unfortunately, you don’t get your prizejustyet. A note pops out telling you to inspect the lumber pile next to your house. No task required, though—when you do, you’ll receive theClub Card.
