In the latest Patch 1.6 of Stardew Valley, a plethora of new features awaits players, including the introduction of the Mannequin. This decorative item allows you to showcase your favorite attire and gear, enhancing the aesthetics of your in-game abode. Here's a comprehensive guide on acquiring and making the most of the Mannequin, along with insights into the enigmatic Cursed Mannequin.

How to Acquire a Mannequin

Obtaining a Mannequin is straightforward but requires a sum of 12000 gold. These items are exclusively sold at the Oasis, situated in the southwest section of the Desert and managed by NPC Sandy. Visit the shop between 9:00 am and 11:50 pm, except during certain events or after 1:00 pm on Fall 15.

The Oasis offers two variations of Mannequins, both priced equally and among the costlier items available. Depending on your preferences and budget, you can purchase one or multiple Mannequins.

How to Use a Mannequin

Once you've acquired a Mannequin, you can place it in your desired location, such as your home, to add visual interest and create a clothing display. Interact with the Mannequin to outfit it with clothing or armor by accessing your inventory, selecting the items, and right-clicking on the Mannequin. Consider setting up multiple Mannequins to showcase diverse outfits and conveniently store your attire and gear.

Unveiling the Cursed Mannequin

In addition to standard Mannequins, Stardew Valley features the elusive Cursed Mannequin, a livelier and more mischievous variant. This unique Mannequin, found in the Dangerous Mines, possesses the ability to move and interact within your home. Defeating Haunted Skulls in the mines increases your chances of obtaining the Cursed Mannequin, albeit through a challenging process involving multiple encounters.

While the Cursed Mannequin can vanish after being dressed, it may also roam your residence, rearrange furniture, and even mend broken structures. Despite its antics, the Cursed Mannequin poses no harm to players.
