Stardew Valley Adds New Way to Obtain Mayor Lewis' Lucky Shorts in 1.6 Update

The latest 1.6 update for Stardew Valley introduces a new method to acquire Mayor Lewis' Lucky Purple Shorts, a long-time quest item shrouded in secrecy. Previously, players could get the iconic shorts through improved relations with Marnie or by exploiting the game's mechanics. Now, an Easter egg allows players to attain the shorts through a secret maze in the Mayor's bedroom but unleashes an invincible shorts monster to chase them. In addition, the update includes another nod to players' ingenuity by adding a cutscene that acts as a playful rebuke for those trying to cheat. Stardew Valley continues to expand with new content, maintaining its status as a beloved farming RPG, while fans also await the release of Eric Barone's next project, The Haunted Chocolatier.

How do you obtain Mayor Lewis' Lucky Purple Shorts in the new Stardew Valley 1.6 update?

To get the shorts in the update, place a crafted staircase in the Mayor's bedroom to access a hidden maze. Navigate through the maze to find the shorts, but be prepared to escape from an invincible monster that spawns once you grab them. This method can be repeated for multiple pairs of the shorts.
