eyes in the dark dreamlight valley Full Quest Walkthrough and Rewards Guide
Unlocking new realms in Disney Dreamlight Valley always brings exciting adventures, and entering The Lion King Realm is no exception. The quest titled Eyes in the Dark serves as your initial introduction to Nala, who desperately needs your help to safeguard her home from encroaching hyenas. By completing this narrative line, players can successfully invite a beloved character to live permanently within their valley layout.
Entering the Realm and Planting Seeds
To begin this journey, you must first travel to the Dream Castle and locate the sealed door adorned with the Lion King insignia. Removing the Night Thorns blocking the portal requires a payment of 10,000 Dreamlight points before you can step through. Once inside, you will immediately encounter Nala standing guard against glowing eyes in the darkness.
After speaking with her, your first task involves creating a natural defensive barrier using local flora. Use your shovel to dig up five cracked patches of earth scattered around the dried-out oasis area. Doing so rewards you with thorn bush seeds, which must be planted along the nearby ledge and thoroughly watered.
Navigating the Jungle and Finding Simba
Once the thorn barrier is secure, your focus shifts toward finding Simba deep within the dense wilderness. Use your shovel to clear away the massive dried tree stumps blocking the path into the jungle cave. After passing through the cavern, you will notice a large river separating you from the other side.
To cross the water, approach the nearby waterfall and locate a massive boulder balancing precariously on the edge. Striking this rock with your royal pickaxe causes a giant log to tumble down across the riverbank. This newly formed bridge allows you to cross safely, meet Simba, and guide him back toward Nala.
Gathering Ingredients for Bug Platters
After the joyful reunion between the two lions, Nala expresses that she is incredibly hungry after her long ordeal. Simba suggests preparing a local delicacy, which requires you to gather various unique insects from around the realm. You will need to collect three distinct types of bugs to satisfy their traditional culinary preferences.
Return to the oasis area to dig up six colorful bugs from the sparkling dirt patches on the ground. Next, use your fishing rod in the jungle river to catch three slimy bugs from the active ripples. Finally, head to the area where you first met Simba and dig up tree stumps to chase down six fast-moving red bugs.
Repairing the Sound System and Placing Pride Rock
With the bugs collected, interact with the cooking station near the jungle river to craft three separate bug platters. Feed the meals to Nala, who will then warn you that the hyenas are closing in on your position. You must return to the valley to ask Scrooge McDuck for an old sound system capable of scaring them away.
Fixing the broken system requires ten softwood, five hardwood, and two iron ingots at any crafting bench. Take the repaired device back to the realm to trigger a booming roar that successfully frightens the predators. Finally, return home and purchase Pride Rock from Scrooge for 15,000 star coins to officially welcome Nala to the village.
