Foraging Locations

Matsutake can be found in two specific, hidden locations during the Autumn. New Matsutake will respawn every couple of days.

The main spot requires a Gold Hammer (or stronger) to break a large boulder. The other is unlocked by befriending Carter.

We’ve listed both locations below & marked them on the map to help you find them:

  1. Bamboo Thicket – behind the large boulder south of the lake
  2. Church Forest – behind Carter’s secret door in the church (requires high friendship)
