All Golden Walnut locations in Stardew Valley
Once you’ve unlocked Ginger Island in Stardew Valley, you’ll discover that even the parrots have their own currency — Golden Walnuts. These Walnuts are used to unlock new areas and to gain access to Qi’s Walnut Room. Unfortunately, the parrots are less than helpful when it comes to disclosing their locations.
Well, most of the parrots are unhelpful. There is one parrot who tries to help, but unfortunately, all of his tips come in the form of less-than-helpful and very vague clues. There’s also the Golden Joja Parrot, as of update 1.6, who can be paid to help you find any remaining Walnuts for a price.
Where to find all Golden Walnuts in Stardew Valley
