How to Find and Trap the Shadow in Disney Dreamlight Valley

After successfully repairing the three Pixie Dust Lanterns in Disney Dreamlight Valley during the Skull Rock questline, you now have an exciting new task ahead. You’re about to embark on a journey to find a strange shadow. Your goal? To befriend this enigmatic figure by using some clever, harmless traps.

How to Find the Strange Shadow in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Your journey begins with using the Pixie Dust Lanterns you’ve just crafted. Place these three lanterns on the designated rope winches to rotate their lights towards various wooden plank walls in the area.

To locate the strange shadow, pick any of the three winches and adjust their light until it reaches one of the walls. For my attempt, I found success using the winch opposite where the Forgotten stands. This action causes the shadow to flutter, confirming its presence. Now, it’s time to trap it!

How to Trap the Shadow Using Pixie Dust Lanterns in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To trap the elusive shadow, you need to focus all three lanterns on a single spot. The ideal location is right next to The Forgotten on a large wooden plank wall, ensuring that the light isn’t too concentrated or too dim.

In detail, you’ll want to position the lanterns near a stack of barrels—this area allows all three lights to combine without losing effectiveness. Adjust the lanterns freely until they all aim at this optimal location.

Initially, all three lanterns will naturally direct their beams toward the pirate ship at Skull Rock. Here’s how many times you need to adjust each respective winch:

  • Winch in front of the Forgotten: Rotate twice.
  • Winch next to the gate: Rotate three times.
  • Winch next to the cave’s ramp: Rotate four times.

These adjustments depend on the winch you used to find the shadow earlier. Don’t worry if you miss the exact spot initially. Simply keep rotating the lanterns until they converge at this point to summon the shadow and continue the Shadows on the Wall quest.

Once all three lights are directed at the correct location, the shadow will visibly appear, allowing you to engage with it. However, be prepared for a blockage that hampers immediate conversation. As you uncover the quest’s intricacies, you can take pride in mastering the light puzzle to trap the shadow.

How do you efficiently use the Pixie Dust Lanterns in this quest? Understanding their functionality is key—they’re not just for illumination; they’re your tools for solving the mystery of the shadows.

What strategies can help in trapping the shadow using lanterns? Focus on a wide area rather than a concentrated one, ensuring that the light envelops the target effectively.

Can the lanterns be used for other quests? Yes, their versatility in light manipulation can assist in various quests, making them crucial assets in your gameplay.

What if I can’t find the shadow? Don’t be discouraged. Experiment with the angles and ensure that all three lanterns are positioned correctly.

How can I improve my skills in solving light puzzles? Practice makes perfect! Familiarize yourself with the layout and the behavior of the light sources in the game.
