How to unlock the Movie Theater in Stardew Valley

Once you’ve completed the Community Center bundles in Stardew Valley, you’ll unlock a whole bunch of new content like moving on to Ginger Island and unlocking the Movie Theater. Before you can unlock the Movie Theater and take in all the latest flicks, you’ve got one more bundle to complete. 

There’s nothing like an evening out at the movies – popcorn, grabber games, and a movie to end the evening in style. You’ve already completed a total of 30 bundles at this point, so what’s one more to add to the total if it lets you head out to the cinema?

If you’ve taken the Joja route, then you don’t need to read this guide because it doesn’t apply to you. Otherwise, let’s get that Movie Theater unlocked. 

How to unlock the Movie Theater in Stardew Valley

Once you’ve completed the bundles within the Community Center, you’ll need to wait for the night before the next rainy day. On that night, a cutscene will play where you discover the broken down remains of the Pelican Town branch of Jojamart. Inside the rubble, you’ll find a Junimo who hasn’t been able to return to the forest just yet, but you can help him by completing one final bundle – The Missing Bundle.

The Missing Bundle can seem pretty daunting at first, as it consists of some pretty hard to source items, but don’t worry. While, yes, this bundle requires some luck, you’ll eventually be able to hand in all of your items. Thankfully, while there are six options, you’ll only need to hand in five of the following:

• 1 Wine of silver or better quality
• 1 Dinosaur Mayonnaise
• 1 Prismatic Shard
• 5 gold quality Ancient Fruit
• 1 gold or iridium quality Void Salmon
• 1 Caviar

How to get silver quality Wine in Stardew Valley

This is probably the easiest item from the list to make, as it doesn’t require luck, merely time. 

To make silver quality Wine, you’ll need to put any fruit into a Keg and wait for it to transform into wine, then you need to mature it in a Cask. Maturing Wine (or any alcohol) is what increases its quality. 

Maturing Wine to silver quality takes 14 days, so once you’ve put your wine into a Cask, you’ll have some time to head out in search of the other items needed for The Missing Bundle. 

How to get Dinosaur Mayonnaise in Stardew Valley

Unlike the whole chicken and egg debate, the answer to which remains ambiguous, there’s no denying that the egg comes before the Mayonnaise. With that in mind, before you can get Dinosaur Mayonnaise, you’ll need to get a Dinosaur Egg. 

Fortunately, at least in Stardew Valley terms, the egg very much comes before the Dinosaur and there are few ways to get your hands on a Dinosaur Egg:

• From an existing Dinosaur
• Digging up artifact spots in The Mountains or Quarry
• Fishing Treasure Chests
• Possible drop from a Pepper Rex
• Prehistoric floors in Skull Cavern

Once you’ve got a Dinosaur Egg, you can either go straight to the Mayonnaise making stage by putting the Egg into a Mayonnaise Machine, or you can place it into an incubator to ensure a supply of future Dinosaur Eggs, using one of those to make the Mayo. 

How to get a Prismatic Shard in Stardew Valley

If you’re looking for a Prismatic Shard, this guide should help you out. 

In short, though, here’s a few of the most likely ways to find Prismatic Shards:

• Iridium Nodes
• Omni Geodes
• Mystery Boxes
• Fishing Treasure Chests after reaching level 6 fishing

Remember, Prismatic Shards are one of the rarest items in Stardew Valley, so none of the methods to get one have a particularly high drop rate.

How to get a gold quality Ancient Fruit

We’ve already covered how to get Ancient Seeds, but if you’re wondering how to maximise the chance of gold quality crops, we’ve got you covered. 

Essentially, the only answer here is Fertlizer, specifically the type which increases soil quality and therefore the chance of yielding quality crops. There are three types, all with their own recipe:

Once you’ve got your chosen fertilizer in hand, till the soil and then use the fertlizer before planting your crops. 

How to catch a Void Salmon in Stardew Valley

If you’re looking for this specific fish, then you’ll need to head to the Witch’s Swamp. It has no time or weather restraints.

To gain access to the Witch’s Swamp, you’ll first need to complete the ‘Dark Talisman’ quest. This quest becomes available only once you’ve completed the Community Center, so now is about the time that you’ll be able to start working on it. 

Here’s a quick guide to the Dark Talisman quest:

• Talk to Krobus
• Make your way through the Mutant Bug Lair
• Retrieve the Talisman
• Head to the cave near the Railroad, north of The Mountains

Once you’ve done this, you’re free to fish in the Witch’s Swamp. You’ll likely have to catch a few Void Salmon before you get a gold quality one, so remember to take plenty of Bait and Bobbers with you to help. I’d recommend the Trap Bobber.

How to make Caviar in Stardew Valley

Before you can make Caviar, you’ll need a Fish Pond, which is thankfully pretty simple to get. Just head up to Robin’s house, talk to her and select the Farm Buildings option. Fish Ponds cost 5,000 Gold to build and need the following resources:

• 200 Stone
• 5 Seaweed
• 5 Green Algae

Once you’ve constructed your Pond, you’ll need some Sturgeon to go into it, as these are the fish which provide the correct Roe to turn into Caviar. We have a guide on how to catch Sturgeon right here. 

Once you’ve got your Roe, you’ll need to turn it into Caviar. To do this, simply place one Sturgeon Roe into a Preserves Jar and wait four days for it to turn into Caviar.
