I climbed a splintered mast and watched a gull wheel over broken glass. You think another DLC will be wallpaper—until a character laughs at your feet and the map rearranges itself. For me, the Keepsake Sea felt like opening a salt-stiff chest of childhood toys.
I’m going to walk you through every corner of The Keepsake Sea in Disney Dreamlight Valley so you know what you’ll find before you set sail. I play, you decide—no fluff, just the facts that matter when you’re balancing time, Moonstones, and a crowded quest log.
I still find sand in my shoes after long trips. The Keepsake Sea biomes in Disney Dreamlight Valley
There are three distinct biomes in The Keepsake Sea Expansion Pass, and each one feels designed to make you linger. They’re exclusive to the DLC — owning the Expansion Pass is the only way to access these areas inside Gameloft’s world built on Disney IP and cross-platform releases (PC/Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch).
- Shipwreck Shores – A weathered coastline littered with broken masts and pirate trinkets. On land it serves full pirate vibes; underwater (once you gain mermaid form) you’ll find coral-carved secrets. Meet Milo Thatch (Atlantis: The Lost Empire) and Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean). The sailable Pirate Ship mechanic ties into progression here.
- Candy Cove – Imagine a confectionery coastline whose colors are loud enough to make you grin. Land and sea both carry the candy theme, and your mermaid form opens the watery passages. Expect to meet Megara (Hercules) and Captain Hook (Peter Pan).
- Kingdom of Oublié – Coral architecture and the feel of an old, half-forgotten monarchy. The land is ruined beauty; the underwater sections hint at stories buried in silt. Wendy (Peter Pan) is the major character tied to this area.
What biomes are in The Keepsake Sea DLC?
If you want the short answer: Shipwreck Shores, Candy Cove, and the Kingdom of Oublié. Each biome has a land and an explorable underwater section (mermaid form required for full access), unique NPCs, and biome-specific quests that feed into the Expansion Pass story arc. If you play on Steam or consoles, the DLC installs the same way you’d add other boutique content—through your platform store or the in-game shop on live services.

A kid once shoved a rubber toucan in my pocket. The Keepsake Sea critters in Disney Dreamlight Valley
There are three critter Companions tied to these biomes, and each comes in multiple color variants. These companions behave as collectibles with personality—companions you’ll want around because they make the map feel lived-in, and each one gives you a tiny reward in companionship when you’re farming or furnishing.
| Critter | Location | Image |
|---|---|---|
| Toucans | Shipwreck Shores |  |
| Meringuins | Candy Cove |  |
| Axolotls | Kingdom of Oublié |  |
Are The Keepsake Sea critters exclusive to the DLC?
Yes — the base versions of these critters are exclusive to the Expansion Pass. You can only find the Toucan, Meringuin, and Axolotl in their native biomes when you own the DLC. There is a small caveat: Square Enix/Gameloft may later offer cosmetic variations in the Premium Shop purchasable with Moonstones, but those would be variant skins rather than the original DLC companions.
If you’re hunting more critters overall, the main game and other DLC worlds contain Hedgehogs, Sweet Bees, Geese, Skunks, and more—each behaving like a mini-collection task that influences furnishing, gifts, and the social loop with Disney characters.
I’ve mapped the corners that matter: NPCs you’ll meet, where to find each critter, and which mechanics (mermaid form, Pirate Ship) open new routes. You’re ready to choose where to spend the next hour of your gaming night—so which biome will you claim first?
