Cogsworth is in the village, bursting with ideas to improve it in Disney Dreamlight Valley. To assist him on this journey, you’ll need to tackle the Running Like Clockwork quest. This initial mission from Cogsworth is vital for building your friendship with him. If you’re facing any challenges, we’ve got you covered with a complete walkthrough of the Running Like Clockwork quest.
How to Complete Running Like Clockwork in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To successfully finish the Running Like Clockwork quest, you need to help Cogsworth implement his ideas to enhance the valley and address a peculiar issue he faces. There are various steps along the way, and we’ll break them down for you.
1. Craft the Harmonious Screen
Cogsworth begins by asking you to create Harmonious Screens to conceal Vanellope’s house, which he finds unsightly. You’ll need to craft six Harmonious Screens, requiring 25 Hardwood and 10 Passion Lily in total.
After crafting the screens, position all six near Vanellope’s house, wherever it’s situated in the valley. I set mine in a cozy corner of Frosted Heights. Speak to Cogsworth once you’re finished, and listen as Vanellope weighs in.
Strangely, she isn’t happy with the changes, so you’ll need to remove the walls you placed. After conversing with her, return to Cogsworth to discuss your next steps.
2. Talk to Moana
Cogsworth believes the beach isn’t safe and requires a lifeguard, prompting you to find one. Moana, the ocean expert, is your best bet. Seek her out in the valley and see if she’s interested in the role.
3. Search Dazzle Beach for Broken Pieces of a Tropical Lifeguard Chair
Moana needs a Tropical Lifeguard Chair to monitor the beach effectively, so explore Dazzle Beach to locate six pieces of her previous chair. You can find pieces buried in the sand as small stacks of wooden planks using your Royal Shovel, while those in the ocean appear as shimmering golden bubbles that can be fished out with your Royal Fishing Rod.
Be mindful that the golden bubbles can sometimes be glitchy, appearing and disappearing rapidly. Make sure to fish at each sparkling spot to ensure you gather all the necessary pieces. The number you find might vary—my experience required four digs and two fish catches, but results may differ for you.
4. Craft the Tropical Lifeguard Chair
After collecting all six pieces, head to any crafting station around the valley. Navigate to the Furniture tab to craft the Tropical Lifeguard Chair. Once completed, place it somewhere on Dazzle Beach, then check in with Moana to gauge her reaction.
After speaking to Moana, connect with Cogsworth again, then find Stitch around the valley to understand his recent encounter with Cogsworth, which left Cogsworth with loose gears.
5. Catch Cogsworth’s Gears
Now, you need to track down three of Cogsworth’s Gears scattered throughout the valley. Look in three specific locations:
- Forest of Valor
- Plaza
- Dazzle Beach
In each area, you’ll see small, luminous gears zipping around. They move quickly, so consider consuming some food to increase your speed as you glide after them. Regular running won’t do the trick.
Once you’ve successfully retrieved all three gears, return to Cogsworth to hand them back. After your chat, you’ll complete the Running Like Clockwork quest. There’s still much to accomplish in the valley, including embarking on Lumiere’s At Your Service quest and discovering how to modify the Dream Castle skin.
