Disney Dreamlight Valley Chapter 10 Full Walkthrough

Chapter 10 of Disney Dreamlight Valley’s main story, “The Most Grand Adventure,” tasks you with restoring the mysterious floating islands and completing the final quests that unlock the game’s endgame content. You’ll need to gather rare materials, craft special items, and make a key story decision that affects the valley’s future. This walkthrough covers every step, from the initial requirements to the final cutscene, including all crafting recipes and dialogue choices.

Prerequisites and Starting the Quest

Before you can begin Chapter 10, you must have completed all previous main story quests, including “The Final Unlock” and “A Dreamer’s Dream.” You also need to have reached friendship level 10 with all core valley characters (Mickey, Goofy, Donald, Minnie, Ariel, Ursula, Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Moana, Maui, Wall-E, Remy, and Merlin). The quest automatically appears in your quest log after you finish “A Dreamer’s Dream” and speak with Merlin, who will be waiting near the Dream Castle.

Merlin explains that the Forgetting has left a rift in the sky, and the only way to seal it is to restore the three floating islands that once hovered above the valley. Each island corresponds to a biome: the Forest of Valor, Frosted Heights, and the Glade of Trust. You must restore all three to complete the chapter.

Restoring the Forest of Valor Island

Your first task is to travel to the Forest of Valor and find the ancient stone pedestal hidden behind the large waterfall. Interact with it to reveal the first island’s restoration requirements:

• 10x Dream Shards (obtained by digging sparkling holes or from chests)
• 5x Rich Soil (foraged from the ground in the Forest of Valor)
• 3x Emerald (mined from rock nodes in the Forest of Valor, Glade of Trust, or Sunlit Plateau)
• 1x Miracle Pickaxe Polish (crafted from 5x Emerald, 3x Gold Ingot, and 1x Dream Shard)

Craft the Miracle Pickaxe Polish at any crafting station, then use it on the pedestal. This will restore the island, and you’ll receive a large amount of Star Coins and a unique furniture item: the Verdant Arch. The island itself becomes a new explorable area with new foraging spots and a chest containing a special motif.

Restoring the Frosted Heights Island

Next, head to the Frosted Heights and locate the frozen cave entrance on the eastern cliff. Inside, you’ll find the second pedestal. Its requirements are:

• 10x Dream Shards
• 5x Ice Crystal (mined from ice nodes in Frosted Heights)
• 3x Sapphire (mined from rock nodes in Frosted Heights, Sunlit Plateau, or Forgotten Lands)
• 1x Miracle Shovel Varnish (crafted from 5x Sapphire, 3x Iron Ingot, and 1x Dream Shard)

After crafting and applying the varnish, the island is restored. You’ll receive the Glacial Pillar decoration and unlock the Frosted Heights island area, which contains a new type of flower and a hidden chest with a rare gem.

Restoring the Glade of Trust Island

The final island is in the Glade of Trust, near the giant mushroom. The pedestal is tucked behind the waterfall on the west side. The requirements here are:

• 10x Dream Shards
• 5x Clay (dug from the ground in the Glade of Trust or Sunlit Plateau)
• 3x Ruby (mined from rock nodes in the Glade of Trust, Forgotten Lands, or Sunlit Plateau)
• 1x Miracle Fishing Rod Bait (crafted from 5x Ruby, 3x Gold Ingot, and 1x Dream Shard)

Once you apply the bait, the island is restored, and you receive the Verdant Arch’s counterpart, the Glowing Mushroom Lamp. The island area itself has a pond with rare fish and a chest containing a new recipe.

Final Battle and Story Decision

After restoring all three islands, return to Merlin at the Dream Castle. He will tell you that the rift is now weak enough to enter. Go through the rift in the sky above the castle to reach the “Realm of the Forgotten.” Here, you’ll face a series of shadowy versions of your friends. You must defeat them in a series of memory-based puzzles (matching symbols, recalling dialogues) rather than combat. After the last puzzle, you’ll confront the Forgotten, a manifestation of the valley’s forgotten memories.

You’ll have a dialogue choice: “Embrace the Forgotten” or “Reject the Forgotten.” Both choices lead to the same outcome—the Forgotten is purified and becomes a friendly companion—but the dialogue afterward differs slightly. The quest ends with a cutscene showing the valley bathed in light, and you receive the “Dreamer’s Crown” headwear and the “Rift Sealer” title.

Rewards and Post-Quest Content

Completing Chapter 10 unlocks the endgame activities: the ability to visit the restored floating islands (which contain rare resources and new fishing spots), access to the “Forgotten’s Trial” repeatable quest (which gives Dream Shards and coins), and the ability to craft the Miracle tools permanently. Additionally, you’ll unlock the “Dreamer’s Statue” furniture piece that can be placed in the valley.

After the chapter, you can continue to build friendships, decorate, and complete Dreamlight Duties. The floating islands are also a great place to find rare gems and flowers for crafting and cooking.

Common Mistakes and Tips

• Not having enough Dream Shards: You need 30 total Dream Shards for all three pedestals. If you run short, dig in the Forgotten Lands or open chests in the castle.
• Mining for gems: Gems like Emerald, Sapphire, and Ruby are biome-specific. Use the map to find rock nodes in the correct biomes; they respawn every few days.
• Crafting the Miracle items: Ensure you have the required ingots (Gold and Iron) before starting. You can get gold from the Sunlit Plateau and iron from the Forest of Valor.
• Order of islands: You can do them in any order, but the game suggests Forest of Valor first. The difficulty is the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I skip any of the island restoration quests?

No, all three islands must be restored to progress to the final battle. Each one is mandatory and unlocks a piece of the story.

What happens if I choose “Reject the Forgotten”?

The outcome is the same as “Embrace”—the Forgotten is purified. The only difference is a few lines of dialogue and which memory you see in the cutscene.

Do I need to be level 40 to complete Chapter 10?

There is no level requirement, but having high friendship levels and upgraded tools (especially the pickaxe and shovel) makes gathering materials faster. You’ll need the upgraded watering can for some quests, but not for this chapter.

Where do I find Dream Shards quickly?

Dig in the Forgotten Lands biome, open chests in the Dream Castle, or complete Dreamlight Duties. You can also find them in the mines in the Plaza.

Can I craft the Miracle tools again after the quest?

Yes, after completing Chapter 10, the recipes for the Miracle Pickaxe Polish, Shovel Varnish, and Fishing Rod Bait remain unlocked at the crafting station, so you can craft them whenever you have the materials.
