Stardew Valley is a game that gives players back as much as they're willing to put in but every so often, a major feature can be overlooked by even the most enthusiastic Farmer. While the latest 1.6 Update has continued to astonish players on PC, older mechanics added in previous improvements can still stump those who may not have read the patch notes in detail. In instances like these, it's common for the community to come together to celebrate the discovery, even if everyone else is already well aware of its existence.
Posted to Reddit by user Precedexamethasone, the player shared their excitement at finding a shortcut to the Pelican Town beach that's accessible by running below Leah's house.
Despite having played Stardew Valley for 300 hours, Precedexamethasone was caught unaware of the route, requesting that the game's community enlighten them regarding the path. The shortcut was added in the 1.5 Update and while fellow users very kindly explained that it wasn't always present in the game, many others were similarly shocked to learn about its existence.
While shortcuts around Stardew Valley may seem like the sort of thing players should rush to acquire, unlocking them can be fairly time-consuming....
