In Stardew Valley, you can advance your character through five skills: Farming, Mining, Foraging, Fishing, and Combat. Each skill has a maximum level cap of 10. Once you have advanced to level 10 of a Skill, the extra XP you receive will help you earn Mastery. You will know you have earned a Mastery Star by looking at the Skills tab.
The ways of earning Mastery are simple: fight to gain XP in Combat Skill, Grow crops to gain XP in Farming, and so on. Once you have earned Mastery in all the Skills, the secret room door will be unlocked for you. But where do you find this room? Scroll down below to know its location.
