How to Find and Help the Trash Bear in Stardew Valley

With a massive farming sim indie game like Stardew Valley, there are so many secrets and obscure characters that players are still finding out about. We wouldn’t blame you if you played the game for a while and only now found out about the Trash Bear. Here’s everything you need to know about the Trash Bear in Stardew Valley.

Where do I find the Trash Bear in Stardew Valley?

First and foremost, you need to locate the Trash Bear in the world. This adorable big fella isn’t available at the start of the game. You have to play until you reach at least the third year. Once you reach this point, you are able to find the Trash Bear in the Cindersap Forest. This is the forest south of your farm.

You will find the Trash Bear in the southern portion of the forest, just to the right of the stairs that lead down to the Sewers. The catch, however, if you can only find the Trash Bear in this location on days when it isn’t raining. Here, you will find this oversized bear… or raccoon… or whatever this guy is.
