Unlock Piglet in Disney Dreamlight Valley: Chapter 9

This guide walks you through unlocking Piglet in Disney Dreamlight Valley during Chapter 9 of the main story. You’ll need to have progressed through the questline up to the point where the Forgotten Lands are accessible, and you’ll also need a few specific items. By the end, you’ll have Piglet as a companion in your valley.

What You’ll Need

• Access to the Forgotten Lands biome (requires 15,000 Dreamlight to unlock).
• Access to the Sunlit Plateau biome (requires 7,000 Dreamlight to unlock).
• A pickaxe upgraded to the “Royal Pickaxe” (able to break large ice crystals).
• A shovel upgraded to the “Royal Shovel” (able to dig up bone piles).
• A watering can upgraded to the “Royal Watering Can” (able to clear purple mushrooms).
• At least 5,000 Dreamlight to open the final door in the castle.

Step-by-Step

1. Progress to Chapter 9 – Ensure you have completed the main story quests up to “The Dark Castle” and have unlocked the Forgotten Lands biome. If you haven’t, spend Dreamlight to unlock it from the map.
2. Enter the Forgotten Lands – Travel to the Forgotten Lands. You’ll find a large, dark castle here. This is the entrance to the final area of the main story.
3. Complete the “The Final Battle” quest – Follow the quest marker inside the castle. You’ll need to defeat the Night Thorns and restore the Pillar of Nurturing. This involves clearing a large patch of Night Thorns and using the Royal Tools to clear obstacles.
4. Return to the Plaza – After the battle, return to the Plaza. You’ll see a new quest marker near the fountain. Speak with Merlin to start the “A Friendly Exchange” quest.
5. Gather the required items – Merlin will ask you to collect:
   • 10 Sugarcane (can be grown from seeds bought at Goofy’s Stall in the Dazzle Beach biome).
   • 5 Cotton (can be harvested from cotton plants in the Sunlit Plateau).
   • 3 Empty Vials (crafted at a crafting station using glass).
6. Craft the Friendship Potion – Use the crafting station to combine the Sugarcane, Cotton, and Empty Vials into a Friendship Potion.
7. Go to the Sunlit Plateau – Travel to the Sunlit Plateau. You’ll find a small, hidden area behind the waterfall. Use the Royal Shovel to dig up the bone pile there – you’ll find a mysterious seed.
8. Plant the seed – Plant the seed in the Sunlit Plateau and water it with the Royal Watering Can. It will grow into a special flower.
9. Use the Friendship Potion – Once the flower blooms, use the Friendship Potion on it. This will summon Piglet, who has been trapped in the flower.
10. Talk to Piglet – After the cutscene, speak with Piglet. He’ll ask you to help him find his friends. This starts the “A Friend in Need” quest.
11. Find the three lost toys – Piglet’s toys are scattered across the valley:
    • One in the Peaceful Meadow (near the pond).
    • One in the Forest of Valor (near the big tree).
    • One in the Glade of Trust (near the waterfall).
12. Return the toys to Piglet – Bring the toys back to Piglet. He’ll be overjoyed and will officially join your valley as a villager.
13. Build Piglet’s house – After the quest, you’ll need to place Piglet’s house. Go to the Furniture menu, select the House tab, and place the “Piglet’s House” anywhere you like. It costs 1,000 Gold.
14. Welcome Piglet – Once the house is placed, Piglet will move in. You can now find him in the valley, talk to him daily, and give him gifts to increase your friendship level.

Common Mistakes

• Skipping the Friendship Potion – Some players try to use the seed without the potion, but it won’t grow. Make sure you craft the potion before planting.
• Not having the upgraded Royal Tools – You cannot clear the bone pile or water the flower without the upgraded shovel and watering can. If you haven’t upgraded them, go to the Realm of Frozen and complete Elsa’s questline to get the upgrades.
• Planting in the wrong biome – The seed must be planted in the Sunlit Plateau, not anywhere else. If you plant it elsewhere, it won’t grow.
• Missing the hidden area – The bone pile is behind the waterfall in the Sunlit Plateau. If you don’t see it, look for a small path behind the waterfall.

Tips

• Stock up on Dreamlight – Before starting Chapter 9, make sure you have at least 20,000 Dreamlight to unlock the necessary biomes and doors.
• Upgrade your tools early – Complete the quests for Elsa and Anna in the Frozen Realm as soon as possible to get the Royal Tools upgrades. This will save you time later.
• Grow Sugarcane in bulk – Sugarcane takes time to grow, so plant extra seeds in advance. You can buy them from Goofy’s Stall on Dazzle Beach.
• Use the map to track – When searching for the toys, open your map and look for yellow quest markers. They’ll point you to the exact locations.
• Talk to Piglet daily – Once he’s in your valley, give him his favorite gifts (like honey or flowers) to level up his friendship quickly.

Troubleshooting

Piglet doesn’t appear after using the potion – Make sure you’ve actually used the potion on the flower, not just planted it. If the flower is fully grown and you used the potion, wait a few seconds for the cutscene to trigger. If it doesn’t, reload the game.

The bone pile won’t dig – You need the Royal Shovel, which is obtained from Elsa’s questline. If you haven’t completed it, go to the Frozen Realm and finish “The Icy Mystery” quest.

Can’t find the toys – The toys are hidden in plain sight but small. Use the quest marker on the map to guide you. If you still can’t find them, look for a small glowing spot on the ground.

Piglet’s house won’t place – Make sure you have enough space and that the area is clear of obstacles. Try placing it in a flat area like the Plaza or Meadow.

Quest doesn’t start – If you’ve completed the main story but the “A Friendly Exchange” quest isn’t appearing, talk to Merlin again. Sometimes you need to exit and re-enter the Plaza to trigger the quest.
