Catching an octopus in Stardew Valley is a fun and rewarding experience. Octopuses are rare creatures that can be found in the ocean during the night. They are worth a lot of money, and they can also be used to complete the “Community Center” bundle. To catch an octopus, you will need to use a crab pot. Crab pots can be purchased from Willy’s Fish Shop, or you can craft them yourself using 30 wood and 4 iron bars. Once you have a crab pot, you will need to bait it with a piece of bait. Any type of bait will work, but the best bait to use is Sardines. Once you have baited your crab pot, you will need to place it in the ocean. The best place to place your crab pot is in a deep spot of water, away from any obstacles.
Once you have placed your crab pot, you will need to wait for an octopus to swim into it. Octopuses are nocturnal, so they are most likely to be caught at night. Once an octopus has been caught in your crab pot, you will need to reel it in. Be careful when reeling in an octopus, as they can escape easily. Once you have reeled in the octopus, you can put it in your inventory. Octopuses can be sold for 300g, or they can be used to complete the “Community Center” bundle.
