This page is part of IGN's Stardew Valley Wiki guide and details everything you need to know about The Cindersap Forest, including which buildings are in this location, the items you can forage in this area, how to catch the Glacierfish as well as the Glacierfish Jr and when does the Trash Bear appears.

How to Get to The Cindersap Forest

The Cindersap Forest is in the southwest of Stardew Valley and is a large region with lots of buildings, as well as lots of space for activities. It is full of rocks, twigs, and other litter, which can be cleaned up but will reappear each year in Spring 1.

Buildings

There are a variety of buildings in the Cindersap Forest that you can explore.

• Abandoned House
• Leah's Cottage
• Marnie's Ranch
• Traveling Cart
• Wizard's Tower

The Cindersap Forest also leads to the Secret Woods.

Foraging

You can forage for a lot of items in the Cindersap Forest, including the Spring Onion, which is unique to the forest. These spawn at the tillable soil in the southeast of the region and don't count as regular forage items.

• In Spring: Wild Horseradish (50%), and Dandelion (50%)
• In Summer: Sweet Pea (60%), and Spice Berry (40%)
• In Fall: Common Mushroom (50%), and Blackberry (50%)
• In Winter: Crocus (39%), Crystal Fruit (39%), and Holly (22%)

Fishing

Cindersap Forest has two fishing regions; the river and the pond. Some fish can be caught in both, while some are specific to one body of water.

It also contains one of the game's five Legendary Fish: the Glacierfish. To catch the Glacierfish, you need to be at least Fishing level 6 in Skills, but again, buffs can be used. In the forest, there is only a single tile you may stand on; the southernmost tip of Arrowhead Island, and your bobber must be at least four tiles away from land. As long as it is Winter, you have a 50% chance of the Glacierfish appearing. It has a difficulty of 100.

Artifacts

The Cindersap Forest has one of the biggest ranges of artifacts in Stardew Valley. This is good as it means more variety and a lot more options but also makes it less likely to get any specific item.

• Prehistoric Scapula (3-6%)
• Prehistoric Handaxe (3%)
• Ancient Doll (2.4%)
• Prehistoric Tool (2.1%)
• Trilobite (1.9%)

• Ornamental Fan (0.7%)
• Prehistoric Tibia (0.6%)
• Amphibian Fossil (0.6%)
• Strange Doll (green) (0.06%)

As well as these artifacts, you can also find Clay, Lost Books, Stones, and Copper Ore, as well as Snow Yam and Winter Root in Winter and Rice Shoots in Spring. If you have a Magnifying Glass, you can also find a Secret Note.

Trash Bear

Trash Bear appears in Cindersap Forest on a set day. It will appear on the first non-rainy day of year three and will request four random items. Bringing them these items will see Cindersap Forest and the Trailer’s front yard be cleared up, as well as a better dog pen for Dusty.
