Solid Gold Lewis

The Solid Gold Lewis statue is a secret item obtained by solving the puzzle shown in Secret Note #19. If the original is lost, a replacement can be bought from the Lost Items Shop in the Secret Woods.

When placed outdoors in Pelican Town, the statue triggers an additional secret. If it survives long enough and is not destroyed by villagers walking through it, it is replaced the next day by a Rotten Plant, and the player receives an unsigned letter in the mail. That letter causes the statue to appear in Lewis’ bedroom 90% of the time, or in Marnie’s bedroom 10% of the time. The statue can be taken back and placed in Pelican Town repeatedly, and each time it is replaced by a Rotten Plant. However, the unsigned letter is only received once.

A few practical details matter if you want to see the secret reliably:

• The statue can be picked up by right-clicking; no tool is required.
• If it is placed in Pelican Town, it may be destroyed when the season changes, which can prevent the secret from occurring.
• This is especially likely if it is placed near the seasonal decorations southwest of the Stardrop Saloon, so that area is a poor choice if you want the statue to remain in place.

Because the statue is meant to be displayed outdoors in town, it is best treated as a temporary prank item rather than a permanent decoration. If the goal is to trigger the event, place it somewhere relatively safe from townspeople pathing and seasonal decoration changes, then check back the next day.
