Stardew Valley has been one of the most popular life-sim games to release in the last few years. While many were requesting Nintendo to release a new Animal Crossing title during the Wii U era, no such game was ever released unless of course, players count the amiibo board game (which many do not). The game released back in 2016 and has been a big hit with fans of the life-simulator genre. Players are able to customize their own farm, make friends, and build relationships with the residents of Pelican Town. Now, the Ginger Island update features new content for absolutely free. Here's what players can do to complete the Mermaid Puzzle.

To complete this puzzle, the weather will need to be rainy. This cannot be done at any other weather time. Then, head over to the far right beach. The player must also have 5 Flute Blocks which players can craft for after obtaining the recipe from Robin after completing her 6 heart event. At the far right beach, place the blocks so they match the mermaid song from the Winter Market. Here is how players should arrange each block individually.

  • Block 1: 2 clicks
  • Block 2: 11 clicks
  • Block 3: 9 clicks 
  • Block 4: 5 clicks
  • Block 5: 7 clicks

If the player has done this correctly, the mermaid will smile and wave to the player and give them 5 Golden Walnuts. The Golden Walnuts are the main currency players will want to collect on the island. There are tons of puzzles like this to solve on Ginger Island. The enjoyment of the game is going around and completing as much as you can before players have to rest for the day. As mentioned, this update will be available on other platforms in 2021.
