How to find and use the Lost Item Shop in Stardew Valley

2 hours ago 2

The Stardew Valley 1.6 update has finally hit consoles a long nine months after it originally hit PC, and with it, the 1.6.9 update has arrived on all platforms. There wasn’t a lot of new content added, but there is one thing that’s really helpful. 

If you’ve ever managed to get your hands on a once-in-a-game item and then somehow gone on to lose it, whether by accidentally discarding it or through a horrible accident, there’s now a way to get those items back — the Lost Item Shop.

The Lost Item Shop in Stardew Valley isn’t actually a shop, but rather a newly added woodland critter NPC who appears in a specific spot. Judging from this NPCs proclivity for collecting and holding on to shiny trinkets, I think it’s safe to assume that it is supposed to be a crow, although it’s a little hard to tell. 

To find this NPC, you’ll need to head to the Secret Woods and make your way to the left (all the way). It’s standing behind the top-most horizontal fallen pillar near the statue of Old Master Cannoli. You don’t need to get around this pillar in order to interact with the crow, and can simply do your business over the pillar itself. 

There’s no conversation involved when it comes to getting your items back, which is a little creepy and would be even more so in real life, but interacting with the crow will bring up a list of lost items that you can now get back.

Each item that you want to retrieve will cost 10,000 Gold, so it’s not cheap, but it is preferable to permanently losing these unique, one-of-a-kind items. This is especially important for items that have a specific use, such as the Statue of True Perfection. 

It’s worth noting that in a multiplayer game, any player can retrieve items from the Lost Item Shop, regardless of which player lost or discarded that item in the first place.
