Stardew Valley Player Has Rare Encounter While Fishing
Highlights Stardew Valley is full of mysteries, including the rare and elusive merpeople that can only be found near the docks.
The merperson sighting is extremely rare, with only a 0.001% chance of spawning per game-time second.
While the mystery of the merpeople may never be fully solved, some players claim to have seen the creature multiple times, while others have never seen it despite extensive gameplay.
A lucky Stardew Valley player snapped a picture of the rarest sight in the game while fishing. The exact explanation of this rare encounter remains a Stardew Valley mystery.
At first glance, some gamers may view Stardew Valley as just another cozy farming simulator without much depth to it. But players who spend a few in-game days on the farm will quickly realize that Stardew Valley is full of mysteries, some waiting to be solved, while others remain unclear. When it comes to mysteries, Stardew Valley has so many that it's tough to keep track of them all. From strange capsules that appear overnight, creepy dolls that randomly attack, weird creatures named Junimos who like to re-build things, and a mouse who loves hats, Stardew Valley has a mystery hiding around every corner. And there’s one mystery that has never been solved and is extremely rare for players to find.

Reddit user Jd_Vas was just minding their own business fishing in Stardew Valley when a strange creature bobbed its head out of the water. It was only for a second, but Jd_Vas managed to take a picture and post it to Reddit. The creature is small, green, and has intense yellow eyes. After the picture was posted, the Stardew Valley community filled the original poster in on what exactly this creature is.
The creature that Jd_Vas saw was a merperson. Merpeople in Stardew Valley live in the ocean and are very different from the mermaids found at the Night Market or on Ginger Island. The merpeople are basically the game’s version of the loch ness monster and can only be found at the docks. The creature can only be seen for a few seconds at a time, but it also appears for a longer period during Krobus’ 14-heart event. The only resident who seems to know anything about these mysterious creatures in Stardew Valley is The Wizard.
The merperson only spawns 0.001% per game-time second near the docks, so spotting the creature is extremely rare. Despite how rare this sighting is, plenty of players in the comments for the Reddit post claim to have seen the creature multiple times. One commenter claimed to see it twice on mobile and one time while playing the game on PC, while another player claimed that they had put thousands of hours into the game and had never seen it once. If there’s one thing that seems to be clear, the mystery of the merpeople in Stardew Valley may never truly be solved.
Stardew Valley is available for Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
