How To Get Mystery Boxes In Stardew Valley

Before you can get your first Mystery Box in Stardew Valley, you'll need to wait for a certain RNG cutscene to appear when you sleep. There's no known way to make this cutscene appear faster, as it appears to be entirely random.

There are a variety of ways to earn Mystery Boxes in Stardew Valley once you've happened upon this lucky cutscene. To find Mystery Boxes, you can try:

• Opening Fishing Treasure Chests
• Going to the Mines
• Digging up Artifact Spots
• Participating in the new Stardew Valley 1.6 festivals, including the Desert Festival (Spring), Trout Derby (Summer), and SquidFest (Winter)

How To Open Mystery Boxes

Once you have a Mystery Box, you'll, of course, want to open it. You can't do this on your own, though; you'll have to head out to see Clint, the Blacksmith. You've likely gone to meet up with Clint before to enlist his help in cracking some geodes, so you'll definitely recognize him. 

You'll need to get to his shop during its open hours, and bring with you 25 Gold for each Mystery Box you'd like to open. Thankfully, his shop is open almost every day (except for Friday) during consistent hours (9AM-4PM) every season.

Once you're inside, just walk up to Clint and pick "process geodes." Then, just like the geodes you've likely processed before, you can place the Mystery Box under Clint's anvil and have him break it for you at the cost of 25 Gold each.
