Reaching Perfection in Stardew Valley is equivalent to completing 100% of the game's content. If players are able to achieve this, additional endgame content will be unlocked. Here's what players need to do to reach Perfection in Stardew Valley.
Not to be confused with the Statue of Perfection that Grandpa may award the player with at the end of their second year, reaching Perfection means completing 100% of Stardew Valley's content, though the official term didn't come about until the 1.5 update that added Ginger Island and the Beach Farm. Likewise, players can see how far along they are by checking the Perfection Tracker statue in Qi's room on Ginger Island. However, it will not give players specific numbers. Instead, it provides an average score across the many tasks needed to reach Perfection. This room can be opened after obtaining 100 Golden Walnuts.

First are the tasks players can likely think of on their own. Players must ship one of each crop and foraged item in Stardew Valley as well as cook every recipe, catch every fish including legendary fish, and reach level ten in every skill. Also, players will need to reach maximum friendship levels with every villager, but this includes the veteran Kent, so Perfection cannot be completed during Year 1.
Players must also find all 130 Golden Walnuts on Ginger Island, which means unlocking Ginger Island in the first place. Additionally, players must have crafted one of every item available on the crafting list as well as complete the monster goals listed inside the Adventurer's Guild.
Next on the list are some objectives that players may be less likely to expect. All Stardrops must be found, meaning a total of seven. One is located on floor 100 in the Mines, one is sold for 2,000 points at the Stardew Valley Fair on Fall 16, and one is awarded after marrying an NPC and reaching 12.5 hearts. Alternatively, players can receive this Stardrop by marrying another player in multiplayer. One Stardrop is sold by Krobus, one can be obtained from Old Master Cannoli in the Secret Woods, one is given by Willy after getting the Master Angler Achievement, and the final Stardrop is awarded after donating all 95 items to the Museum.
Players must craft one of each Obelisk—an Earth Obelisk, Water Obelisk, Desert Obelisk, and Island Obelisk—as well. The Obelisks are used to warp around town, but they aren't easy to craft. Each Obelisk takes 500,000 to 1 million gold to build as well as several Iridium per recipe and other rare components.
Finally, players must build and place a Gold Clock on the farm. Like the Obelisks, this can be built by interacting with the Wizard's magic book in his tower. It costs a whopping 10 million gold to build but keeps debris from appearing on the farm over time.
Stardew Valley is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
