Dreamlight Valley Grown Up Things Quest Walkthrough

This walkthrough covers the Grown Up Things quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley, explaining each objective, where to find the required items, and how to complete the quest efficiently. You’ll need to gather specific flowers and craft a special item for Vanellope, so here’s the full step-by-step guide.

Quest Background and Requirements

Grown Up Things is a friendship quest given by Vanellope von Schweetz after you reach friendship level 7 with her. Vanellope is part of the Rift in Time expansion, so you must own that DLC and have progressed far enough in the main story to unlock her in the Ancient Landing biome. The quest focuses on Vanellope’s struggle with the idea of growing up, and she asks you to help her find a way to feel more mature while still enjoying her candy-coated life.

Before starting, make sure you have completed Vanellope’s previous quests and have access to the Ancient Landing area. You’ll also need a crafting station, which is available in your village or in the Ancient Landing’s camp. There are no special tools required, but you should have a decent stock of Mist, as some objectives involve using it to clear obstacles or fast travel.

Step 1: Talk to Vanellope and Gather the Flowers

Once you accept the quest, Vanellope will ask you to collect a variety of flowers from the Ancient Landing. The specific flowers you need are:

• 3x Red Bromeliad
• 3x Yellow Bromeliad
• 3x Blue Bromeliad

These flowers spawn randomly throughout the Ancient Landing biome, usually near rocks, trees, or along the pathways. If you don’t find enough, they respawn over time, so you may need to wait a few minutes or check different areas of the biome. You can also use the map to see where you’ve already explored and focus on unvisited spots.

Tip: If you’re short on time, you can use the Ancient Lantern or other time-bending tools to speed up respawns, but it’s not necessary. Just run around the biome and pick up every flower you see; you’ll likely collect the required amounts within one or two laps.

Step 2: Craft the Mature Flower Arrangement

After collecting all nine flowers, Vanellope will ask you to craft a special item called a Mature Flower Arrangement. This is a custom craftable item that appears in your crafting menu under the “Functional Items” or “Furniture” tab. The recipe requires:

• 3x Red Bromeliad
• 3x Yellow Bromeliad
• 3x Blue Bromeliad
• 5x Mist (this is a resource you gather from time-bending nodes)

If you don’t have enough Mist, you can find it by using the Royal Hourglass on glowing spots in the Ancient Landing or by dismantling time-bending items you don’t need. Mist is also rewarded for completing various tasks in the DLC, so check your inventory before heading out.

Once you have all materials, go to any crafting station, select the Mature Flower Arrangement, and craft it. The item will be added to your inventory, and you can then place it in the world or keep it in your bag for the next step.

Step 3: Place the Arrangement and Talk to Vanellope

With the Mature Flower Arrangement in hand, you need to place it somewhere in the Ancient Landing. Vanellope will give you a specific location, usually near her house or in a central area. Open your furniture menu, select the arrangement, and place it on the ground. You can move it later if needed.

After placing it, talk to Vanellope again. She’ll comment on how the arrangement looks “mature” and will ask you to take a picture with her in front of it. This is a photo quest, so open your camera mode (by pressing the camera button on your controller or keyboard) and take a selfie with Vanellope and the arrangement in the frame. Make sure both are clearly visible in the shot.

Step 4: Complete the Quest

Once the photo is taken, Vanellope will thank you and the quest will complete. You’ll receive the following rewards:

• +1,000 Friendship Points with Vanellope
• Vanellope’s special reward (often a unique clothing item or furniture piece related to her style)
• Some Star Coins (amount varies based on your level)

After completion, you can continue leveling up Vanellope’s friendship to unlock more quests and rewards. The Mature Flower Arrangement remains in your valley as a decorative piece, and you can move it anywhere you like.

Common Problems and Troubleshooting

Players often get stuck on this quest due to a few common issues:

• Flowers not spawning: If you can’t find enough Bromeliads, try restarting the game or fast-traveling to another biome and back. This often resets the spawn points.
• Can’t craft the arrangement: Make sure you have exactly the right flowers and Mist. If the recipe isn’t showing up, double-check that you’ve collected all nine flowers and that they’re in your inventory, not in a chest.
• Photo not registering: Ensure you’re in camera mode and that Vanellope is close enough to you. Sometimes you need to wait for her to pose or stand in front of the arrangement. If it still doesn’t work, try moving the arrangement to a clearer area and retake the photo.
• Quest not appearing: If Vanellope doesn’t give you the quest, you may need to reach friendship level 7 first. Check your friendship menu and do some activities with her (like hanging out or giving her gifts) to level up.

Tips for Efficient Completion

To make this quest faster, consider these strategies:

• Unlock the Ancient Landing’s fast travel points so you can quickly move between areas while searching for flowers.
• Use the Royal Hourglass to detect nearby time-bending nodes, which often yield Mist and occasionally flowers.
• If you’re low on Mist, focus on completing other Rift in Time quests first, as they reward Mist and unlock more of the map.
• Keep a few extra Bromeliads in storage after the quest, as future quests or daily requests may ask for them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I complete Grown Up Things without the Rift in Time DLC?

No, this quest is exclusive to the Rift in Time expansion. Vanellope and the Ancient Landing biome are only available if you own the DLC and have progressed through the main story of that expansion.

What if I accidentally sold or used the flowers before crafting?

You’ll need to collect them again. Flowers respawn in the Ancient Landing, so you can simply gather more. Just make sure not to use them for anything else until the quest is complete.

How do I get more Mist quickly?

Mist is primarily obtained by using the Royal Hourglass on time-bending nodes in the Ancient Landing. You can also get Mist from completing daily tasks, opening chests, and dismantling time-bending furniture. Prioritize clearing the time-bending nodes you see while exploring.

Is the Mature Flower Arrangement useful after the quest?

It’s purely decorative, but you can place it in your valley or in a house as furniture. It doesn’t have any functional purpose, but it’s a nice keepsake from Vanellope’s questline.

Why won’t Vanellope take the photo with me?

Make sure you’re using the in-game camera (not a screenshot) and that Vanellope is in the frame. Sometimes she needs to be standing still; if she’s walking, wait for her to stop. Also, ensure the arrangement is in the background, as the quest requires it to be visible.

Can I repeat this quest?

No, quests in Disney Dreamlight Valley are one-time only. Once completed, you can’t replay it, but you can still decorate with the arrangement and continue leveling Vanellope’s friendship.
