💣 Mega Bomb
The Mega Bomb is the most powerful craftable explosive in Stardew Valley. It creates a massive explosion with a wide radius, capable of destroying large clusters of rocks, ore nodes, and monsters. Due to its cost and power, it is best suited for late-game mining and combat, especially in the Skull Cavern.
🛠 Crafting
💥 Effects
- Explosion Radius: Large (7 tiles).
- Destroys rocks, ore nodes, and debris in a wide area.
- Deals very high damage to monsters caught in the blast.
- Can severely injure the player if they are within range.
📋 Uses
- Efficient for clearing massive clusters of rocks in Skull Cavern.
- Essential for speedrunning deep Skull Cavern dives.
- Can be used as a powerful area-of-effect attack against large monster groups.
💡 Strategy
Pro Tip: Combine Mega Bombs with Staircases in Skull Cavern for maximum efficiency — use bombs to uncover shafts quickly and dive deeper.
- Best reserved for late-game mining when resources are abundant.
- Keep plenty of healing food on hand in case you are caught in the blast radius.
- Crafting requires both Solar and Void Essences, so farm Shadow Brutes, Ghosts, and other monsters in the Mines for materials.
- Avoid overusing — Mega Bombs are expensive to craft compared to Cherry Bombs or regular Bombs.
