What Is Strange Capsule in Stardew Valley
The game Stardew Valley not only lets the players experience the peace of a slow-paced farming and life simulation type of game. This also allows the player to experience random events that add up spice to the quality of life.
At some point in your game progress, you will be able to encounter the strange capsule in Stardew Valley on your farm. You will know that it was there if you saw a capsule outside of your farmhouse after you woke up.
However, everything will remain unknown and unsolved if you aren’t able to do the most essential thing to make this happen–leaving an empty tile on your farm.
That being said, we want to let you know everything that you need to understand about the strange capsule in Stardew Valley.
Random Farm Events
Random events in Stardew Valley are those that happen overnight. Usually, these things happen when the villager calls it a night and falls asleep. Namely, the random vents in the game are the earthquake, bundle completion, the crop fairy, the witch, the meteorite, the strange capsule, and the stone owl.
In this guide, we will be focusing on the strange capsule in Stardew Valley alone and what exactly is strange about this unknown item that appears on your farm.
Even though the random events are highly random–which means that you cannot do something to increase the possibility of it happening in your game–there are still some things that you need to know for this to happen. Otherwise, the chances will drop down to zero.
The first thing that you need to know about the strange capsule event is that it will only happen once you finish your first year in Stardew Valley based on their calendar. Next is that you should keep an empty tile on your farm. That is where the strange capsule will be placed once the event happens.
Now, the question we want to answer is how to know if the strange capsule event has already occurred.
You can easily know if the strange capsule in Stardew Valley event has already happened when a text notification appear stating that a strange sound was heard in the night… once your character wakes up in the morning. That will be the first sign.
After that, it will be followed by a strange sound. You will hear a UFO sound effect playing in the background. This is the signal that means the strange capsule has already landed somewhere on the empty tile on your farm.
Now, here comes the exciting part. When your farmer gets out of the farmhouse and proceeds to the empty tile outside, you will see a weird, cylindrical container. From the outside, you will notice that it is filled with goo and something that seems alive.
If you would want, you can pick up and move the capsule using the pickaxe. If you have already transferred its location, you should leave it for three to four Stardew Valley days. Once you try to interact with this, the only hint that will be given to you is a text saying that there’s something fleshy bobbing around in the fluid…
After waiting for a few days, visit the capsule and you will see that it is now empty and is broken. When you interact with this, it will say that part of the glass is shattered… Once this happens, this is where the thrill continues. But to tell you, you can skip to this part and not wait for how many days to break this. You can just use the Fairy Dust on it and it will be broken and empty.
What’s Inside the Strange Capsule?
Since the strange capsule has been cracked, broken, and emptied, this will make you more curious of what’s the fleshy thing that was bobbing inside that seems to be alive. Don’t worry because the game, Stardew Valley, will not leave you there hanging with your unanswered questions.
Once this has already happened to your strange capsule, you might want to take a walk at night and be observant and vigilant of the surroundings. We are not trying to scare you, but we are just trying to show you what was really inside the capsule.
Sometimes, you will notice a black creature that roams around. It might look like a silhouette of a person but it is one of your villager friends. Instead, it is the strange creature living inside the capsule. An alien!
From the latest Stardew Valley update, the chance of seeing this strange creature was increased. This only means that there is also a higher chance of you finding one. So, be careful and watch your eyes when you walk at night.
How Can I Find the Secret Alien?
Needless to say that this creature is, indeed, very hard to find despite the changes from the latest update. But to give you a narrower and closer path to seeing one, here are some tips that you might want to do to catch this with your own eyes.
The first thing you should remember is that the alien only appears at night. There is low to no chance of seeing it in broad daylight because that will defeat the whole secret thingy.
Next, there is always a chance of seeing this anywhere at night. But if you are deeply invested with finding this. Also, you might want to consider going to the bus stop at night. The bus stop is where it appears most of the time compared to anywhere else.
Lastly, the alien is mostly and usually spotted on the upper left corner of the screen. Once it appears, it will only stay for a while and will immediately disappear.
With that, you are now on the right track in finding the alien. Best of luck!
