Stardew Valley: Scholar NPC Answers for Desert Festival

The Desert Festival is an event that came out with the 1.6 update on Stardew Valley. Featuring multiple activities and challenges, the three-day event also has numerous NPCs taking part as well. One of these NPCs is the scholar, who asks players a set of different questions throughout the three-day event in exchange for Calico Eggs.

The questions feature a general test about Stardew Valley, though they have been seen to get tricky too. Since the Festival is an annual event, it is vital to get all the questions right, else you’d not only lose the Calico Eggs but would also have to wait a year for the event to return. To ensure this does not happen, we’ve covered all the questions asked by the Scholar NPC below.
