Note: As none of the power-ups are referenced by name in-game. They have been given names for the purpose of clarification.

Note 2: Since the character is stated to be based off of a real-life person that exists within the Stardew Valley universe, it’s likely that the monsters they’ve fought, likely scale to the Monsters that are found in Stardew Valley.
