Stardew Valley Has A Hard-To-Get Mask Even The Most Experienced Players Don't Know About, & It's A Direct Nod To Creator ConcernedApe

has one strange hidden hat that is very difficult to achieve, which is also a nod to its developer. With the large collection of hats found throughout the game and with even more hats being added in the 1.6 update, there were bound to be some that were harder to find than others. This one special hat is only available under certain circumstances and takes after ConcernedApe, providing dedicated players with a challenge that can only be completed by the most devoted players.

Hats are only a cosmetic feature in the game, having no effect other than customization for farmers. If players want to resemble the creator of with this hat, then they will need to do more than pay the beloved Hat Mouse a visit, as it cannot be purchased or found anywhere in an early game. Dedicated players will want to collect all the available customization pieces that exist, and having a devoted mindset will allow farmers to get their hands on this one special hat.

The hat, which is named ??? and has a description of ??? in game, is designed after ConcernedApe's familiar avatar. The hat version is complete with a pair of glasses and red cheeks, an image players will know as the creature logo next to CondernedApe's name that appears on the screen whenever the game is booted up. The hat itself is a full mask that transforms the farmer into the creator of the game and can also be placed on children and even the farm's cats or dogs with the recent 1.6 update.

This hat is only available to a player whose farm achieves a 100% Perfection rating, tracked via the statute that is found in Qi's Walnut Room on Ginger Island in late game. With contributions towards the rating including cooking all available recipes, having full friendship level with all villagers, and crafting all craftable items, reaching the highest rating percentage is an ambitious challenge. Along with unlocking a few other aspects around the valley, players who achieve this perfection can talk to a monkey hanging out in Volcano
