AStardew Valleyplayer had the wackiest ending to their week after getting two prismatic shards from a bat. This is a rare loot find for any player, and even more bizarre as the main player did not have a burglar ring, which would up the chances of such an amazing loot table.
With no logical explanation, and a look of complete shock, the player,Chuio,took to Reddit to discuss what happened to them and hypothesize what caused the stars to align perfectly enough to get two shards in one go. Redditorscame together to figure out how this happened and to celebrate the stroke of luck down in the mines.One commentergave a pretty good answer to the poster’s query,with a much more logical conclusion than Chuioever expected.
Stardew Valley Player Shocked By Lucky Loot
These Shards Seemed To Come Out Of Nowhere
Chuio was exploring the mines, as most players do inStardew Valley. While down there, they killeda random bat that just so happened to drop two Prismatic Shards at once. They were so stunned by the win that once it happened they just froze and looked into the camera. The player was on their first in-game year and noted that they didn’t have a burglar ring or anything that could have gotten them the double loot. Their only potential explanation was that they activated “the ectoplasm quest earlier that day which may affect mob drops”.

However, userSonnitudeasked instead if chuio had the monster compendium at any point, as this increases the chance of an enemy dropping twice the loot. When chuio confirmed that they did possess this item, they still questioned why they got such a rare find. However, Sonnitude pointed out thatprismatic shardscan be rewarded if a player goes deep enough in the mines, stating, “you can get a prismatic shard from enemies once you reach the bottom of the mines.” Despite the mystery being solved, other players couldn’t believe chuio’s luck in getting such an incredible reward.
