Golden Walnut | |
To the parrots of Ginger Island, this nut is the finest delicacy. | |
Information | |
Source | Farming • Mining • Foraging • Combat • Fishing • Digging • Breaking Golden Coconuts |
Location | Ginger Island • Blacksmith |
- "Parrots" redirects here. For the parrot found in Pelican Town, see Emily's 4-heart event.
Golden Walnuts are the currency of the parrots on Ginger Island. The amount of Golden Walnuts that a player has saved is displayed directly above the wallet in the skills tab. Walnuts are shared amongst players in Multiplayer.
The player can find a total of 130 Golden Walnuts scattered on the island, by exploration, killing monsters, farming, fishing, mining, breaking crates in the Volcano Dungeon, etc.
Qi's Room is unlocked only when a save file records that 100 Golden Walnuts have been earned (in total), not the moment that the 100th walnut is found.

Walnut Locations
All locations |
---|
General (All) | |||
---|---|---|---|
Quantity | Type of Discovery | How to Find | Image |
1 | Golden Coconut | Golden Coconuts, found anywhere on Ginger Island, can be brought to the Blacksmith back in Stardew Valley to be opened. The first time Clint opens one, it will produce a Golden Walnut. | |
5 | Fishing | A maximum of five Golden Walnuts can be obtained by fishing anywhere on Ginger Island. |

Quantity | Type of Discovery | How to Find | Image |
1 | Exploration | A walnut in a bush is found in the jungle on the path towards Leo's hut. | |
3 | Puzzle | Place a Banana on the altar by the staircase to Leo's hut. A gorilla appears and rewards the player with 3 walnuts. | |
1 | Puzzle | Hit the tree inside Leo's hut with an axe. | |
1 | Exploration | Follow the hidden path in the jungle on the East Island's main area to find the Gem Birds shrine. You will find a walnut to the south of this area. | |
5 | Puzzle | At the northeast of the jungle is a hidden path. Following the stone path from Leo's house stairs lead to a hidden shrine area with four bird statues. Each bird statue is associated with a particular Ginger Island area, as hinted by the carved picture at its base (volcano = north, waves = south, palm tree = east, heart = west). On rainy days, a Gem Bird will appear in one of the island areas (North, South, East, or West). Approaching the Gem Bird will cause it to fly away and drop a gemstone. The player must place this gemstone on its corresponding altar. The Gem Birds will always appear in the same locations:
There are five possible gems: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Emerald, Ruby, and Topaz. The shrine will activate and reward the player with 5 walnuts once the final gemstone is placed. Once activated, the puzzle cannot be completed to obtain more walnuts (though the altars may still, incorrectly, display plus signs while the player is holding a valid gem). (Note: The puzzle solution is randomized per game. Gem birds will still appear and drop gems on rainy days even after the puzzle is solved. The gem birds do not have to be found to solve the puzzle.) |

Notes
The parrot in Leo's hut provides hints for 123 out of 130 walnut locations with the exception of:
- 1 on the southern bush in the Gem Birds shrine area
- 3 for placing a banana on the altar in the east, by the staircase to Leo's hut
- up to 3 rewarded for winning the Darts Game.
Bugs
Occasionally the game may miscount the number of Golden Walnuts obtained, leaving the count at 129/130, when all walnuts have actually been found. The workaround is to open a chat window (with ?
or T
on PC) and enter /recountnuts.
