As a veteran Stardew Valley player who’s been farming and fishing since the Valley’s early days, I must say that the Pirate’s Wife quest is hands down my favorite! It’s not every day you get embroiled in an RPG-style adventure within this charming pixelated world.
After the 1.5 expansion introduced Ginger Island to Stardew Valley, a plethora of new quests were made accessible, along with fresh NPCs and tales. One such quest is Birdie’s, often referred to as the Pirate’s Wife quest. To finish it independently, it would be beneficial to have some familiarity with the game’s dialogues and characters.
In Stardew Valley, the Pirate’s Wife quest stands out from other quests due to its immersive RPG-style structure. Unlike most quests where you simply need to deliver an item to someone, this one involves a series of interactions with various NPCs, item exchanges, and progression until you eventually complete the quest.
As a swashbuckling gamer, here’s my take on guiding you through the Pirate’s Wife quest to snatch those elusive Golden Walnuts: Alright, matey! Buckle up as I walk you through this swashbuckling adventure. First thing’s first, you gotta find ol’ Captain Redbeard’s hideout. Once there, keep your eyes peeled for the pirate lass, the Pirate’s Wife herself.
Who is the pirate’s wife?
If you’ve ever set foot on Ginger Island, you might have noticed on the lefthand side of the map a little hut, next to which an old raggedy woman is sitting – just fishing, staring in the distance. That’s Birdy, an NPC that is also called the pirate’s wife due to the questline that she spawns once you start a chat.
How to complete the Pirate’s Wife quest?
After chatting with Birdy, she will ask you for a little favour – finding something that belonged to her husband and could remind her of him. It sounds like a sweet quest, but if you haven’t completed it yet, then you probably know it’s not as easy as it seems.
Here are all the steps you have to do when taking this quest, and how you can solve it:
1. Hand in the War Memento to Kent
The War Memento, basically a war photo, is the first item in this quest chain. You have to hand it in to someone who knows about the war, and the only one in the Valley who can do that is Kent. He will be available starting Year 2, and he lives with Jodi, Sam and Vincent.
2. Pass the Gourmet Tomato Salt to Gus at the Saloon
After talking to Kent, you will get a Gourmet Tomato Salt – this item’s description reads as follows: “A rare, delicious and savoury salt”. The only person known for their cooking in the Valley is Gus, so you need to head over there and hand the salt over to him. In return, he will give you a Stardew Valley Rose.
3. Take the bus to Calico Desert and give the Rose to Sandy
Guessing that the Rose is for Sandy can be a little tricky, but since she is an NPC in Stardew who absolutely loves flowers (and Mango Sticky Rice?), it has to be done. She is going to love the rose, and in return, she will give you an item that’s not so popular in her store: a TV remote.
4. Give George the TV remote so he can finally change channels
We know that George can be a little grumpy unless he gets his Leeks, but he is also going to love having the Advanced TV Remote you get from Sandy. He will now be able to switch channels (finally!) and in return, you’ll get an Arctic Shard.
5. Head over to the Wizard with the Arctic Shard
Since the Arctic Shard is a mysterious item glowing with an
otherworldly blue light
, the Wizard is the best NPC to take it to. Once you hand over the item, he will give you a Wriggling Worm. I think you can guess where you need to take this item.
6. Give Willy the fisherman the Wriggling Worm
Any old fisherman loves a good bait, and a Wriggling Worm is the best there is. Hand the item over to Willy, and he will finally give you the final item on this quest line.
7. Finally, head back to Birdy with the Pirate’s Locket obtained from Willy
The last item you will get on this quest is the Pirate’s Locket, which is the item Birdy was looking for. Go back to Ginger Island with it, and she will give you 5 Golden Walnuts and a recipe for Fairy Dust.
The reward
When you finish the quest, Birdy will give you the recipe to craft Fairy Dust, as well as 5 Golden Walnuts. Since the Golden Walnuts are pretty scarce and there are a maximum of 130 you can collect in total, you want to complete this quest and get all of them.
