If you want to gain an advantage on your dives into the Mines and Skull Caverns in Stardew Valley, one resour🌃ce that you’re going to need a lot of is Void Essence. Thankfully, there are a few different ways to get it.
How to get Void Essence in Stardew Valley
You’re likely to be able to hoard up a hefty amount of Void Essence on your exploration of the Mines and Skull Caverns,🍌 as it’s a drop from the following monsters:
- Shadow Brute (both normal and dangerous)
- Shadow Shaman (both normal and dangerous)
- Shadow Sniper
- Haunted Skull
- Serpent
- Spider
However, there a♚re a few other ways to get Void Essence if you don’t mind spending a little of your Gold to do so.
Krobus’ Shop
Once you’ve donated 60 items to the Museum, got the Rusty Key, and unlocked Krobus’ Shop, you’🔯ll be able to purchase Void Essence for 100 Gold each. You can only buy a maximum of 10 per day, but Void Essence is in stock every 𒐪day, so you can get 70 per week.
Fish Pond
If you want a chance to get Void Essence passively, you can always install a Fish Pond on your farm and fill it with Void Salmon. This fish can be found in the Witch’s Swamไp, and a Void🌊 Salmon Fish Pond will possibly drop between 5 and 10 Void Essence as long as the population of the Pond is 8 or more.
How to use Void Essence in Stardew Valley
The first reason for gathering Void Essence is to complete the Adventurer’s Bundle in the Com꧑munity Center. Although it’s not strictly necessary, as you have a choice of five items and need to donate only two, Void Essence is a fairly easy item꧑ to find now that you know where to look.
Crafting
Void essence is used when crafting Mega Bombಞs and Iridium Bands, two items that can really help while you’re exploring the caverns around Pelican Town and beyond. These recipes don’t unlock until quite a while into a playthrough, but they need the following resources:
Item | What it does | Recipe unlock | Recipe |
Mega Bomb | Used to explode large areas of rocks and enemies | Mining level 8 | 4 Gold Ore 1 Solar Essence 1 Void Essence |
Iridium Band | Glows, attracts items, and increases attack damage by 10% | Combat level 9 | 5 Iridium Bars 50 Solar Essence 50 Void Essence |
You’ll also need Void Essence if you want to ask Krobus🌄 to move in with you instead of marrying a villager. To do this, you’ll need to reach level 10 friendship with Krobus and then buy a Void Ghost Pendant from the Desert Trader for 200 Void Essence.
Quests
The main quest which calls for Void Ess🍎ence comes from the Wizard on Winter 12. To complete “The Dark Reagent,” you’ll need to bring one Void Essence to the Wizard. The reward for doing so is 1,000 Gold and one heart of friendship.
Gifting
In terms of gifts, only the Wizard particularly enjoys receiving Voꦐid Essence. With the exception of the Dwarf, who feels neutral about it, the rest of the villagers actively dislike receiving Void Essence as♚ a gift.
Tailoring
If used in the spool of a Sewing Machine, Void Essence will result in the production of an Arcane Shirt. It can also be used to make ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚa purple dye via the d𓂃ye pots in Emily and Haley’s house.
