Are you ready to dive into the enchanting yet challenging world of Disney Dreamlight Valley? The “Dreams and Dark Designs” quest offers an intriguing adventure, revealing underlying tensions in the Storybook Vale. After completing various missions involving Hades, Maleficent, and Aurora, you’ll uncover a disturbing issue affecting Merida and Flynn—horrifying nightmares. Let’s team up to help them find solace!
In this quest, you’ll build rapport with the characters while navigating unique challenges. With my proven experience in gaming strategies, I’ve crafted an engaging guide to help you successfully complete this quest and move forward in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
1. Starting the Dreams and Dark Designs Quest
To kick off your quest, ensure you’ve reached a level seven friendship with Aurora and successfully completed the following missions:
- The Princess Tour (Aurora, level seven)
- Fine, I’ll Do It Myself (Hades, level 10)
- Collateral Damage (Maleficent, level seven)
Once you’ve checked these boxes, speak with Aurora to launch the quest. You’ll quickly learn about Merida and Flynn’s disturbing nightmares, prompting an insightful conversation with them regarding their nightly terrors.
They will share haunting visions of green and blue flames, leading you to deduce that Hades and Maleficent may be at the center of this turmoil. A quick discussion with Aurora will inspire you to confront these dark figures and subsequently craft a Dream Spinner to analyze Merida and Flynn’s troubling dreams.
2. Gather the Materials to Craft a Dream Spinner
After conversing with Hades and Maleficent about the nightmares, it’s time to craft the Dream Spinner. Gather the following materials:
- Star Sapphire (4)
- Volcanic Rock (10)
- Petrified Wood (20)
- Dream Threads from the Sacred Spring in Elysian Fields
Begin your quest for Star Sapphire by mining ore rocks in Everafter’s biomes. Look for dark blue gemstones sticking out, and enlist the help of a high-level villager skilled in Mining. With luck, a couple of rocks will yield enough sapphires.
Next, gather Volcanic Rock and Petrified Wood, which can be found in various areas. Petrified Wood is available from mining rocks in Everafter and The Bind, while Volcanic Rock can be dug up in Everafter and Mythopia.
Finally, head to the Sacred Spring in Elysian Fields, located northwest of the large central pond. Interact with the golden pool to collect the much-needed Dream Threads.
With all four materials in hand, go to any crafting station to create the Dream Spinner and then return to Aurora. To soothe Merida and Flynn’s fears, you’ll need to prepare a comforting dish.
3. Cook Some Warm Spiced Milk
After crafting the Dream Spinner, consult with Remy about comforting food for Merida and Flynn. He recommends making Warm Spiced Milk and shares special spices for your dish. The necessary ingredients include:
- Milk (2)
- Ambrosia (2)
- Nutmeg (2)
Milk can be easily purchased from any Chez Remy location for 230 Star Coins (approximately 22 EUR) each. You can buy Ambrosia at Goofy’s Elysian Fields stall for 140 coins (around 13 EUR) each, while Nutmeg can be found growing on trees in Mythopia.
Once you have all the ingredients, head to any stove or Chez Remy’s kitchen to prepare two batches of Warm Spiced Milk. Bring them to Merida and Flynn to help ease their troubling dreams through the Dream Spinner, unlocking half a memory and getting closer to solving this issue.
4. Go to the Top of Mount Olympus for the Dream Image Area
As you explore Merida and Flynn’s memories, clues point to Hades’ castle as a potential source of their nightmares. Travel to Mount Olympus, enter Hades’ castle, and interact with the relevant portal near his sign. This will transport you to the DJ set from Hades’ previous quest.
Once you arrive, engage with the large rift before you to gain a deeper understanding of the mystery. While you might feel puzzled initially, a conversation with The Lorekeeper and Aurora will clarify the situation.
5. Completing the Dreams and Dark Designs Quest
After your discussion with The Lorekeeper and Aurora, you will gain insights into the Heart of Stories. It becomes evident that Hades and Maleficent are likely conspiring to control the Storybook Vale. Alarmed by this realization, your next step is to confront Maleficent once again.
Concluding your dialogue with Maleficent and Hades will wrap up the Dreams and Dark Designs quest, leading you seamlessly into the next adventure, “The Two Flames United.” This journey is just the beginning, as you unravel more secrets within Disney Dreamlight Valley.
