    How to Get Stanley

    To get Stanley to join your crew, you must utilize the Mysterious Seeds. Once you obtain some Mysterious Seeds, simply plant them, wait two days, and then harvest them in hopes that one can summon Stanley. Note that this may take several tries to work, because not every Mysterious Seed will have the ability to summon Stanley.

    Mysterious Seeds are different from the Odd Seeds that are sold by Francis.

    Fishing for Mysterious Seeds

    You can fish Mysterious Seeds out of the water from any location. The one caveat is that you must have already escorted at least four Spirits through the Everdoor before you can catch Mysterious Seeds.
