Disney Dreamlight Valley: Complete Guide to the Old-Fashioned Heist Quest

At level seven friendship with Flynn Rider in Disney Dreamlight Valley, it’s time for an adventure—a heist! Initially, this might sound strange, but Flynn is on a mission to discover Maleficent’s treasures while also delving into the story of Princess Aurora.

How to Start the Old-Fashioned Heist Quest

The An Old-Fashioned Heist quest unlocks after achieving level seven friendship with Flynn, along with gaining access to the Fallen Fortress and unlocking the following characters:

  • Merida
  • Stitch
  • Vanellope
  • Mulan
  • Buzz Lightyear
  • Remy
  • Mushu
  • Olaf

Once you meet these requirements, a conversation with Flynn will reveal his daring plan to search for the treasure vault hidden by Maleficent within the Fallen Fortress.

How to Find Maleficent’s Vault

Once you arrive at The Fallen Fortress, enter through the Fairy Tale Trial gate with Flynn. He’ll attempt to proceed down one of the side paths but will note that glowing green mushrooms are blocking the way. Fortunately, Aurora has a solution. Flynn will provide you with the recipe for a Flower Extract potion to tackle this first hurdle.

Making the Flower Extract

Here’s the exact recipe for the Flower Extract potion:

  • White Rose (2)
  • Olive Green Tale Cone Flower (2)
  • Honeydew Melon (4)
  • Posidonia (8)

By this stage in The Storybook Vale’s storyline, you will have access to all necessary biomes for these items. White roses can be found in The Wild Woods and the Fallen Fortress, while Olive Green Tale Cone Flowers are exclusive to The Bind.

Honeydew Melons and Posidonia are located in Mythopia. You can acquire Honeydew seeds from Goofy’s Stall in The Elysian Fields, with each crop taking about 45 minutes to mature. Using Miracle Growth Elixirs on your watering can will expedite the process. Posidonia can be found in the waters of the biome, though refrain from fishing in circles, as that will yield only fish.

After gathering all four ingredients, head to a crafting station to create the Flower Extract. Consuming the potion will let you clear the glowing green mushrooms obstructing your path to Everafter and the Fallen Fortress trial. Return inside to continue your quest.

Entering Maleficent’s Vault

With the upgraded watering can, you can clear the mushrooms blocking access to the rest of the vault. You will quickly encounter various puzzles. Thankfully, Flynn has conducted some research and shares insights about the three corridors within the vault. First, you’ll need to assess the surroundings to understand what you’re up against.

Within the room are three corridors, each bearing different scrolls that read as follows:

“A wall of stone holding fast, shall only break with a fiery blast.”

“A door that simply can’t be breached, needs the target out of reach.”

“A sickness that shall never mend, this thick dark smoke will be your end.”

Interact with all three scrolls to gather more informations about the vault before returning to Flynn. The situation may appear daunting, but he remains hopeful. You’ll need to enlist three characters who can do the following:

  • Withstand thick smoke.
  • Create fire.
  • Be expert archers.

For this specific quest, you have a variety of characters to choose from. To streamline your mission, recruit Merida, Mushu, and Stitch prior to heading back to the vault. After discussing your team with Flynn, you’ll be ready to put your plan into action.

Activating the Vault Levers

The remainder of the An Old-Fashioned Heist quest is straightforward. Your companions will handle most of the heavy lifting, while you need to use your Royal Net to interact with each wheel lever. Mushu’s lever will need a strong spin, while the other two will require quick vertical movements.

Once all three levers are activated, a portal will appear in the center of the room. Entering it will lead you to a massive vault filled with gold and, more importantly, two memories from Aurora lying on the ground.

By studying each note, you’ll unveil her and Flynn’s true intentions regarding Maleficent. Share this information with Flynn to complete the An Old-Fashioned Heist quest, drawing you closer to finalizing his friendship storyline.
