You'll need to find granite in Winter Burrow shortly after finding Aunty and getting the key to the basement to grow mushrooms. Or you'll think you will, as you actually need granite for Bufo the frog first. It's a slightly confusing objective overall that can have you stuck if you don't realise the granite to repair the stairs isn't the main objective and you can leave that and come back to it later. Let me clear up the confusion and help you find all the granite you need.

How to get granite in Winter Burrow

To get granite , you need to ignore the goal to repair the stairs and keep playing until you meet Bufo the frog. Which means visiting Aunty several times with her giving you something to do each time, specifically make some wooden furniture, fix the stove and make a shovel.

To explain, once you've settled in your new home you'll get a mission to Find Aunty by repairing and crossing the bridge. Once you meet her you'll get the objective to Open The Basement using a key she gives you. This will be the your first brush with granite as one of the three things you need to fix the basement stairs - 20 Pebbles, 15 Granite and 2 Beachnut Biscuits.

At this point the need for granite can feel like a softlock because it's not clear you don't need to repair the stairs yet and there's no way to get granite at this point. You can plant the mushrooms in the initial top area and that's all you need to do for now. The actual need for granite comes much later and, when it does, you will be able to get some easily.

When you've done all that and visit Aunty again you'll be attacked by an owl and she'll be carried away. Which is sub-optimal.

However, once Aunty is gone you'll find a bridge open ahead of her now ruined house, which will access a new area. Keep pressing north east through this new location and you'll eventually find Bufo the Frog. He'll first ask you to get 5 pebbles and two twigs, which you can gather if you back track into the previous area, or look around your house. You should have collected a few already but these are what you're looking for:

Once you give Bufo the pebbles and twigs he wants, you'll get a basic pickaxe and he'll send of to get three pieces of granite. If you head back into the previous area you'll find what you need in the following locations:

That will get you the granite you need for now and start a new quest with Bufo to find some pebbles and flint. If you're still wondering about the granite you need for fixing the basement stairs then just keep playing on. You won't be able to do much about until you finish with Bufo (for now) and rescue Aunty, which involves some missions for a squirrel called Gnawtusk. Only once you've completed all that, will you get the crafting recipe for a Granite Pick Axe from Bufu after completing his 'An Axe for Bufo' mission. Then all the Granite you can eat will be yours of the taking.
