🌟 Golden Scythe

The Golden Scythe is an upgraded version of the standard Scythe in Stardew Valley. It is obtained in the Quarry Mine by reaching the end of a special room where it rests on a statue. Once collected, it permanently replaces the standard Scythe and cannot be lost. The Golden Scythe has a wider cutting radius and provides higher efficiency when harvesting Hay from grass.

⚒️ Uses

Compared to the normal Scythe, the Golden Scythe offers several advantages:

  • Wider cutting radius, allowing more tiles to be cleared per swing
  • Harvests more Hay per tile of grass (increases efficiency with a Silo)
  • Clears weeds faster, with improved reach
  • Can harvest Scythe-only crops like Wheat and Amaranth
  • Consumes no Energy, same as the standard Scythe

📍 Location

The Golden Scythe is found inside the Quarry Mine, which becomes accessible after the bridge to the Quarry is repaired. At the end of the mine, players encounter a statue holding the Golden Scythe. Interacting with it grants the tool permanently.

Important: The Quarry Mine is dangerous, containing powerful enemies — bring weapons and healing items.

💡 Tips & Strategies

  • Upgrade to the Golden Scythe as soon as the Quarry is unlocked
  • Its wider range makes it perfect for managing large grass fields
  • Greatly improves Hay collection for barns and coops
  • Since it never consumes Energy, it’s always efficient to use
