How to Open Treasure Chests in Stardew Valley
Opening treasure chests in Stardew Valley is pretty straightforward but exciting! While you're fishing, keep an eye on the mini-game. You'll notice a little treasure chest icon pop up. The trick is to hover the green bar not only over the fish but also cover the chest. It's a balancing act because you've got to catch the fish to claim the treasure. Once you've successfully done both, you'll get your hands on that sweet loot after reeling in your aquatic friend.

Treasure chests in Stardew? Just fish! When the treasure icon shows up, make sure your green bar covers the fish AND the chest. Catch the fish to get the loot. Simple.
From experience, the tackle called 'Treasure Hunter' makes opening treasure chests way easier. It makes the fishing bar cling to the treasure, giving you a better shot at getting both the fish and the chest. Worth trying if you're having trouble!
Hot take: everyone stresses over balancing the green bar for treasure chests while fishing, but honestly, just focus on the fish. You're going to get way more valuable stuff from fishing up rare fish than from most chests. Keep fishing, the chests will open when they're meant to.
