In the 1.5 update, one of Stardew Valley’s most mysterious figures makes another appearance. After unlocking the Walnut Room on Ginger Island, players once again meet Mr. Qi—and big surprise, he has more challenges to test their greatness.
Once the player completes one of Mr. Qi’s new “Qi Challenges,” he will reward them with Qi Gems that they can redeem for highly useful items. All of these quests can be repeated for an indefinite number of Qi Gems. Some of these tasks are fairly simple, while others are nigh impossible. Here’s a ranking of every new task Mr. Qi poses in Stardew Valley 1.5, from easiest to hardest.
10 Four Precious Stones
On a surface level, this quest looks pretty difficult to complete. With the rarity of Prismatic Shards, collecting four of them in a single month takes concentrated effort and huge amounts of luck. However, unlike most Qi Challenges and special orders, the stones don’t have to be found after the player receives the quest.
In other words, players have as much time as they need to collect four Prismatic Shards. Hoard them in a chest, and accept the challenge once the necessary number has been met.
9 Qi’s Prismatic Grange
This challenge calls for the most items out of any other, as it requires 100 each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple items. The trickiest part of this quest is figuring out which items count for which colors.
Most categories contain items that can be found in large quantities, such as fiber for green and copper ore for orange. As with “Four Precious Stones,” players can collect the necessary items before accepting the challenge, and then deposit them in the collection box for some easy Qi Gems.
8 Qi’s Kindness
After accepting this challenge, the player has one week to give 50 loved gifts. Though it seems intimidating at first, this quest becomes quite easy once the player gets to know their friends’ and neighbors’ favorite things.
As with previous challenges, stocking up on items beforehand makes this goal easier to reach. Take some time to learn about who loves which gifts, or things that are universally loved. Collect these items to give out and spread joy once the challenge is active.
7 Extended Family
Essentially, this challenge asks players to catch all of the Legendary Fish (or specifically, their relatives) within three days. There are only four of these fish, but they’re not easy to catch by any means.
Recipes that raise the Fishing skill are helpful here, such as Dish o’ the Sea or Seafoam Pudding. Tackle like the trap bobber or cork bobber help as well. More than that, though, this quest takes a lot of patience. It might take a few tries for some players to complete.
6 Qi’s Cuisine
This quest asks the player to cook and ship 100,000g worth of food. Items cooked before the start of the challenge don’t count, so stocking up on ingredients before beginning is the key to success.
One way to accomplish this (without spending a lot of money) is to brew vast amounts of coffee in kegs before starting the challenge. Players can then use this to make Triple Espresso, which can be sold for 450g. 223 Triple Espressos will meet the goal.
5 Danger In The Deep
In this quest, the mine elevator is reset and each area of the mines takes on a new appearance with more difficult enemies. The player has a week to make it to the bottom.
Since the Stardew Valley mine has an elevator, the player can advance a few levels per day. This makes the challenge less gut-punishing than the Skull Cavern ones, which require reaching level 100 in one go. However, be sure to pack plenty of consumables and bombs to avoid death by these new monsters.
4 Qi’s Crop
For this challenge, players must find Qi Beans hidden throughout the world, plant them, and harvest and ship 500 Qi Fruit in a month. Beans can be found in artifact spots, by fishing, chopping down trees, mining, etc.
Tracking down 500 of these beans can be incredibly frustrating. However, players can gain an advantage by using Seed Makers, turning each Qi Fruit harvest into twice as many seeds. Additionally, players can save up Qi Beans while the quest is active, and then use them to complete the challenge later.
3 Let’s Play a Game
Junimo Kart is deceptively difficult. Achieving the score of 50,000 that Mr. Qi demands can prove time-consuming, especially when the player has a farm to run. Many players—even if they enjoy the minigame itself—don’t find this quest worth the effort.
Considering “Let’s Play a Game” only nets the player ten Qi Gems, it’s a lot more trouble than it’s worth. For players who’ve mastered Junimo Kart, it might pose a fun challenge, but more often it’s a source of frustration.
2 Skull Cavern Invasion
Most Stardew Valley players know the epic struggle of trying to reach level 100 in Skull Cavern—Mr. Qi’s original quest. This challenge asks them to do this again, but this time facing even stronger enemies as they delve through the dungeon.
Players shouldn’t undertake this goal lightly. Stock up on healing items and bombs, wield the Infinity Sword, and don’t be afraid to build staircases. Food items that boost speed, luck, and combat are especially useful as the player fights their way to victory.
1 Qi’s Hungry Challenge
Once again, Mr. Qi has put a new twist on his old challenge. Though Skull Cavern’s monsters are at their usual level of power, the player cannot eat or drink anything this time as they journey to Level 100.
One strategy is to build dozens of staircases, using them one after the other. Even so, it can be difficult to avoid damage while placing them. Skull Cavern’s enemies are dangerous even at their usual power, so being unable to restore health makes this challenge absolutely brutal.
