How To Get The Iridium Scythe In Stardew Valley
The Iridium Scythe is definitely a great tool, but it will remain unavailable until you reach a certain stage of the game. More precisely, to get Iridium Scythe in Stardew Valley, you need to earn 10,000 Mastery experience and spend it at the Farming Totem in the Mastery Cave.
It is important to note that this will take quite a long time since before you can even get into this Cave, you will have to level up to max all five of your skills. Of course, you may discover the entrance to Mastery Cave earlier, but without maxed skills, you won't be able to get inside.
As for the location, the required Cave can be found south of your farm. You need to go through the river and find a door in the rock. If you have completed the requirement above, the door will open, and you will be able to enter the Mastery Cave.
There, players will find five totems corresponding to each of their skills. And each of them can give you useful things, including Stardew Valley's Iridium Scythe. To interact with them, you have to continue to earn experience until you reach 10,000. This is enough to achieve real mastery in Farming. After you interact with Farming Totem, you will receive the desired Iridium Scythe.
