Mr. Qi - Stardew Valley Wiki (2024)

Mr. Qi is a mysterious stranger who is first encountered when the player puts a Battery Pack into the lock-box in the tunnel. He is connected to the empty box at the train station.

He operates the Casino which is located behind Sandy's store, the Oasis, in the Calico Desert. To gain access to the Casino players must complete the quest line "The Mysterious Qi". After the quest is complete the Bouncer will move aside to allow the player to enter. He can be found inside the Casino whenever it is open.

He also can be found on Ginger Island in his walnut room, once the player has obtained 100 Golden Walnuts. Here, he will give the player special Qi challenges. Upon completing these challenges, the player will be rewarded with Qi Gems.

Relationships

Players cannot give gifts to raise friendship points with Mr. Qi.

Schedule

Mr. Qi can always be found both at the Casino during the Oasis' open hours and in Qi's Walnut Room on Ginger Island.
