Nautilus Shell Information

The Nautilus Shell is found via foraging at The Beach in Winter. The player may randomly receive one in the mail from Demetrius. It can also be received as a gift at the Feast of the Winter Star. It may also spawn on the Beach Farm during any season. It may also be found foraging on levels 1-69 of the Mines while the Shrine of Challenge is active. One Nautilus Shell can be purchased from Demetrius' shop at the Desert Festival for 50 Calico Eggs. It may also be found foraging on levels 1-29 of the Mines while the Shrine of Challenge is enabled, or the Danger in The Deep quest is active. It can also be gifted by a pet turtle with max friendship, or randomly found at the Traveling Cart for 360–1,000g.

Several Crab Pot fish may produce a Nautilus Shell in a Fish Pond when the population of the pond reaches 9.

Nautilus Shell Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [392]. You will then receive the Nautilus Shell item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [392] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Nautilus Shell item.
