OneStardew Valleyfan became quite alarmed when the fish in their lava eel pond requested two Mega Bombs. Thefishpond is a useful featureto have at the farm since it provides players with various items and ingredients. Lava eels, in particular, are great to keep around on hand since they produce roe, gold ore, cave jelly, magma geodes, and other goods.
In order to upgrade ponds to hold more eels,players have to complete quests for the wormy marine creatures. This entails getting an item or two for the lava eels to grow in the pond, but Reddit userdagugosowasn’t sure what to think when their eels asked for two Mega Bombs.
“We’d be more comfortable if we had 2 Mega Bombs in here,” says the pond quest text. This leaves things up in the air about whether the eels want to use the bombs as decor or just keep them on hand for potential threats. Either way, fans are concerned about the request and wonder what the eels are plotting.
Stardew Valley’s Lava Eel Pond Sometimes Has Strange Requests
Completing These SDV Quests Is The Key To Leveling Up The Pond
The quests for upgrading lava eel ponds inStardew Valleyare actually pre-determined, but it seems many players haven’t thought about the menacing nature of the bomb request. Previous upgrades require items like fire quartz, diamonds, Dwarf scrolls, or basalt, none of which make much more sense inside a pond.
