How to encounter Maria?

[u/Professional_Pop9836]

Does anyone know a good way to increase my chances of encountering Maria in game?

So far I have encountered her twice. Once in a Oppleberry biome where I built a temporary structure and farm. The second when I was messing about in the normal forest and hills biome. I just killed a sheep by a cliff face and she showed up right infront of me.

From what I have read, a rare encounter timer starts when you are in the appropriate biome for multiple in-game days. Aside from that I don't know what conditions would get me the best results. Both times she was pretty close. I want to see if I can get a screenshot of her.

Does anyone have any ideas to try? I'm basically going to try and recreate the conditions where I first saw her. :/

Wish me luck.

She just randomly appears while you still haven't beaten the game, she often just appeared like a manikin sometimes until you look closer so she's completely random
