The MLB The Show 26 Egg Hunt Program is live, and if you want the 100-star reward—a 90 OVR Jackson Merrill—you’ll need to tackle 9 mystery missions and track down 7 hidden eggs. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to help you finish the program efficiently.

Step 1: Complete the 9 Mystery Missions (90 Stars Total)

The mystery missions show up as cryptic riddles in your program menu. Most can be completed in single-player modes like Conquest or Play vs. CPU. Here’s what each mission requires:

Mission    Requirement    Recommended Mode

Wait a Third...    Win a game with Gold Clay Holmes    Any Diamond Dynasty mode

Conq Mysterymaxxing    Get an Extra Base Hit (XBH) with any Troy Tulowitzki    Conquest

I'm Blue    Win a game with any Kerry Wood    Any DD mode

Whoops, Not Supposed to Be There    Pitch 1 inning with A.J. Puk    Any DD mode

KYLE TEST    Hit a HR with any player named Kyle (e.g., Kyle Schwarber)    Diamond Quest

Back    Get an XBH with Nolan Arenado    Any DD mode

Back-to-Back    Get an XBH with Nolan Gorman    Any DD mode

Back-to-Back-to-Back    Get an XBH with Juan Yepez    Any DD mode

Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back    Get an XBH with Dylan Carlson    Any DD mode

Customizable Mini Seasons    Earn 500 PXP with players wearing #7 or #28    Mini Seasons

Pro Tip: Missions that require multiple XBHs in sequence (“Back” series) are easiest if you line up all four players and play a single CPU game. You can clear the series in one go if you stack your lineup strategically.

Step 2: Find the 7 Hidden Eggs (50 Stars Total)

Eggs are spread across multiple modes and maps. Collecting them provides the remaining stars needed to reach the 100-star goal.

Orange Egg: Complete all 4 Egg Hunt Program Moments (Tyler Rogers, Phil Rizzuto, Troy Tulowitzki, Jackson Merrill)

Blue Egg: Capture all territories on the Easter Conquest Map

Yellow Egg: Capture all strongholds on the Easter Conquest Map

Pink & Purple Eggs: Rare epic rewards found by completing rounds in Diamond Quest

Green Egg (Bonus): Tally 10 doubles with any hitters in multiplayer modes (Ranked, Events, or BR)

Red Egg (Bonus): Tally 3 stolen bases in any multiplayer mode

Fastest Completion Strategy

Moments First: Knock out the 4 Moments to claim the Orange Egg and early stars.

The “St. Louis Stack”: Place Arenado, Gorman, Yepez, and Carlson in your lineup together and play one CPU game to finish the “Back” mission series.

Conquest Rush: Use Tulowitzki, Wood, and Puk while capturing territories on the Easter Conquest Map to get the Blue and Yellow Eggs simultaneously.

Extra Tip for Competitive Players

If you want to speed up your progress without grinding endlessly, U4N is the best place to buy MLB 26 stubs. Many top players use it to skip the boring parts and focus on practicing and completing high-value missions. This can save time while keeping you competitive in Diamond Dynasty.
