Unlock the Butterfly Shovel in Dig by completing a Rooftop Woodlands quest. Here’s how to do it step-by-step.
The all-new Butterfly Shovel is one of the best early-to-mid game shovels in Dig, offering high Luck, solid stats, and a powerful boss damage rating. It’s completely free, but you’ll need to complete a quest in Rooftop Woodlands to unlock it.
Here’s a full walkthrough on how to get the Butterfly Shovel and why it might just be better than the Prismatic.
Where To Start the Quest
To begin, spawn a vehicle and head to Rooftop Woodlands and find the small cottage near the mechanic and merchant stalls. Inside the cottage, talk to the NPC to start the Butterfly Shovel quest.
Quest Requirements:
- Reach Level 20
- Feed 60 Goats
- Purchase the Shortcake Shovel
- Dig up 10 Morpho Butterflies
Let’s break these down.
1. Reach Level 20
This is the most time-consuming part, but it’s straightforward. If there’s a 2x EXP weekend, you’ll get there faster.
2. Feed 60 Goats
Goats are passive NPCs that eat almost anything. Dig up items and hand them to Goats. Even if they dislike the item, it still counts toward the total.
3. Buy the Shortcake Shovel
To buy this shovel:
- Drive to the far end of Rooftop Woodlands.
- Look for Tom’s Bakery near Cinder Approach.
- You’ll find the Shortcake Shovel for $45,000.
- You may need to complete a few quests for Tom before it becomes available.

4. Dig 10 Morpho Butterflies
- Found in Fernhill Forest
- Dig in grassy areas, especially the lighter green patches (dark grass didn’t yield many results).
- Morphos are an Unusual rarity, so you don’t need a high-luck shovel.
Once you’ve completed all four steps, return to the NPC in the cottage and turn in the quest.
Butterfly Shovel Stats
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Control | 7 |
| Strength | 9 |
| Haste | 9 |
| Luck | 22 |
| Boss Damage | 70 |
| Preferred Ground | Rock |
| Passive 1 | 25% Chance for Plum Modification (2x Value) |
| Passive 2 | Gradual Endurance regeneration |
You’ll also receive the Monarch Skin for the shovel when you complete the quest.
Is It Better Than the Prismatic?
Compared to the Prismatic Shovel, the Butterfly Shovel offers:
- More Luck (22 vs 20)
- Better Strength and Haste
- Slightly less Control
Unless you need extremely high control for precise digging, the Butterfly Shovel is a better all-around option, especially since the Prismatic now costs over $250,000 while the Butterfly only requires you to buy a $45,000 Shortcake Shovel.
The Butterfly Shovel is one of the most efficient and accessible high-tier tools in Dig. With great stats, strong passive abilities, and a relatively easy questline, it’s a shovel worth grabbing whether you’re a beginner or looking for a budget boss-fighting tool. And don’t forget, you also get a free Monarch skin just for completing the quest.
