Ark is one of those strange series to me that seems to have a ridiculous amount of cash to dispense, what with its star-studded cast in the animated adaptation. Gerard Butler and bloody Michelle Yeoh are in it! Not to mention David Tenant, Elliot Page, Russel Crowe and Vin Diesel, the final of whom is meant to be in the borderline MIA Ark 2. But some of those voices will be appearing in-game through Ark: Survival Ascended's next expansion, Lost Colony, which now has a release date!

It's been seven years since the first Moonlighter, and in all that time, I've somehow never noticed that the title is a reference to sleepless penury. My mind jumped to the association of moonlight with magic and romance, skimming clean over the less enchanting sense of "moonlighting" as working a second job after dark. Luckily, this knowledge has dawned on me just in time to softly kneecap my enthusiasm for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, which launches into early access today, and appears quite a bit different from its predecessor.

I won't comment on the quality of Marathon, the game, because I've not had the chance to play it, though obviously it's not been received with all that much fanfare. You know what I did quite like? Marathon, the short film, the one that came with the game's reveal from Alberto Mielgo. It felt like a strong promise of a (more-or-less) fresh sci-fi world, the performances were subdued, it felt larger than life. Good stuff! Yet as many things currently are, it's been scrutinised over potential AI use, prompting Mielgo to put out a (understandably aggro) statement.

I was unaware of incremental mystery management sim Asbury Pines till kindly Mr_B mentioned it in this week's Maw round-up. It launches into early access today, and has a pretty lung-emptying setup. You're trying to solve a murder in a hitherto sleepy small American town. To do this, you must oversee and make connections between around 50 characters - some of them animals and plants - across 12 historical eras, spewing your brain outward from the present day to the Stone Age and the post-apocalyptic future.

This is presented as a dense and whirring mixtable of icons, bars, progression trees, timelines, and story cards, like a 4X research tree but with a narrative shoved through it. Did you think you were being a clever custard with your swanky evidence board in Alan Wake 2? Try Asbury Pines on for size, gumshoe - it's like Cloud Atlas for accountants. They do call it "accessible" in marketing materials, mind.

Microsoft have delivered a timely reminder that AI isn't just effective at injecting ugly, soulless anti-art and nonsense robochat into your games – it also has the power to ruin your entire PC.

MS recently updated a support article explaining the 'agentic AI' features they plan to roll out for Windows 11, which involve creating a separate desktop instance and allowing AI 'agents' to perform supposedly menial tasks (like file sorting and email sending) within it. All while you kick back on your main workspace, online shopping for the third yacht that the AI revolution has surely enabled you to afford. Unfortunately, among the agents' capabilities is the risk of installing malware.

New Zenless Zone Zero Character Ye Shunguang Voiced by M・A・O

HoYoVerse drip marketing confirmed one of the 2.5 Zenless Zone Zero characters will be Ye Shunguang, and she'll be voiced in Japanese by M・A・O (Mao Ichimichi). In Chinese, her voice actress is Tao Dian, and the identity of her English voice actress wasn't officially revealed yet. 

Ye Shunguang is another Thiren character in Zenless Zone Zero, and she's associated with the Yunkui Summit faction just like her older brother Ye Shiyuan. (He's not a playable character.) We've seen her referenced in-game already. One of the announcements showing off art that shows her two forms featured her mentioning fellow faction member Ju Fufu, which suggests the two are also close. 

Here's the art showing her and her other form off. Her role, Agent Rank, and element weren't referenced.

Here's the English language version of her teaser short.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8ryif94pGCU

You can hear an example of the M・A・O voice acting for the Zenless Zone Zero character in the Japanese one below.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HZR0xyt3TpE

This will be M・A・O's second HoYoVerse role. In 2025, the company also cast her as Varesa in Genshin Impact. Other recent roles for her are Narmaya in Granblue Fantasy Relink, Eiko in Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right, and Akira in Sakamoto Days

Zenless Zone Zero is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and there's no release date for the 2.5 update yet. However, we do know Zhao will also join Ye Shunguang as a new Agent in that update.

Genshin Impact Luna III Special Program Airs This Week

HoYoVerse announced we'll learn more about the next Genshin Impact patch this week, as the Luna III Special Program stream airs on November 21, 2025. It will show up at 5am PT/8am ET/2pm CET, as usual, on both Twitch and YouTube. Due to the different naming process for this patch series, this basically means we're hearing about the Genshin Impact 6.2 update.

The teaser image for Genshin Impact Luna III Special Program hints at some of the characters and story beats we'll see. The Traveler and Paimon are still in Nod-Krai dealing with events there ahead of heading to Snezhnaya proper and meeting with the Fatui. Columbina is shown overhead, leaning on an orb that shows our avatar and aid, as well as some known characters like Lauma, Varka, Albedo, Arlecchino, Sandrone, and Wanderer (Scaramouche). Only one of the two new characters joining in Genshin Impact 6.2 is shown in that image, and that's Durin. He and Jahoda will appear.

At the moment, two rerun banners are present in Genshin Impact. We al have a chance to pick up either Arlecchino or Zhongli. Both are five-star polearm users. She deals Pyro damage and is more of a DPS, while he is a Geo supporter who applies shields. Their banners end on December 2, 2025, which means we should see the new 6.2 patch arrive in Genshin Impact on December 3, 2025.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and the Luna III Special Program stream airs at 5am PT/8am ET/2pm CET on November 21, 2025.

Tales of Berseria Remastered Arrives in February

Bandai Namco announced yet another Tales of remaster is on the horizon, as it will release the JRPG Tales of Berseria Remastered worldwide on February 27, 2026. This comes around the 10th anniversary of the game, which first showed up on the PS3 and PS4 in Japan in 2016. The new release will appear on the Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. If people pre-order, they get a Super Adventuring Assistance Set with 10 Apple Gels, 10 Life Bottles, 10 Panacea Bottles, and 10 Peach Gels. 

Tales of Berseria is a prequel to Tales of Zestiria, though Bandai Namco released it after the other JRPG. Velvet Crowe is a Daemon as a result of Daemonblight affecting her arm during an Advent ritual that left her brother killed during a Scarlet Night. While now imprisoned alongside other Daemon, she vows to escape and get revenge on her former brother-in-law Artorius and The Abbey for murdering Laphicet. As the game begins, she gets her chance, which also means encountering a Malak who looks like her deceased little brother, joining up with others who oppose The Abbey, and learning deeper secrets about what's going on. 

Here's the first Tales of Berseria Remastered trailer. It highlights some of the new additions and changes. One is the addition of a Destination Icon to help pinpoint objectives. A Grade Shop will be open, which will let you earn and implement boosts like Expand Item Capacity, Always Wandering for more dire foes, Double Experience, Double Gold, Half-Price Enhancing, Half-Off Bargain, and Double Arte Learning Speed. Past DLC, like extra costumes, will be immediately accessible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrgChQAkLCA

The end of the trailer confirmed there will be a Digital Deluxe Edition of this Tales of remaster that includes extra insights into the JRPG. A digital art book and digital soundtrack with 96 songs are included. So is a Battle BGM Pack with more Tales of music and a Super Growth Support Herb Set. 

Tales of Berseria Remastered will come to the Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 27, 2026, and the original version of the JRPG is on the PS3, PS4, and PC worldwide.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A DLC Trailer Shows Mega Zeraora

Nintendo's latest teaser trailer for the Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC highlighted the new Mega Evolved form of Zeraora. It didn't show how we'll get the character. However, it did note what the Ranked Battle Mega Stone distribution looks like through Season 4. 

The Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC trailer begins with a trainer who headed through one of the portals to another dimension. They encounter a number of hostile Pokemon, so summon Zeraora to fight back. Shortly after, they use the new Mega Stone for the Mythical Pokemon to make it transform into Mega Zeraora. We don't get to see many attacks, but do get to see the new form from different angles.

Toward the end, the Ranked Battle Mega Stone schedule comes up for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Until November 25, 2025, we can earn Greninjite and Delphoxite. Season 3 starts on November 25, 2025, and that one offers Chsnaughtite. To get Baxcalibrite, you need to fight in Season 4. 

Here's the Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Zeraora trailer. The description for it also hinted it "will be a little difficult" to get the character and form.

Drifter in Risk of Rain 2

The Risk of Rain 2 Alloyed Collective has added some really tough enemies, and the Solus Heart battle starts if you manage to reach him.

Like all secret enemies, you'll first have to reach Solus Heart to beat him. This guide will list all the vital steps to start the fight.

How to reach Solus Heart in Risk of Rain 2 Alloyed Collective

The first task is to defeat the regular boss, aka Solus Wing, in Risk of Rain 2. Completing this task is going to take a lot of time, and you can go through our detailed guide. Defeating Solus Wing is a must if you're looking to reach Solus Heart. It also allows you to unlock Drifter and add her to the list of playable characters. 

Once you defeat Solus Wing, it will open a portal through his eye.

  • Take the portal to reach Computational Exchange. This is a hidden spot, and the only way to access it is through that portal.
  • You'll find a Solus unit. It will reject anything you offer.

Combining items at the Chef
Screenshot by Destructoid

  • Explore the hidden area and locate the Chef.
  • You'll have to hand him the Encrypted Cerebellum along with any of the following items: Encrusted Key/Empathy Cores/Orphaned Core/Prison Matrix/Sentry Key. Any one of these items will work.
  • The Chef will combine the items to create Exposed Cerebellum.

Encrypted Portal that leads to the Solus Heart

  • Once you offer this item to the Solus Unit, you'll open an Encrypted Portal. Just leave it at the Solus unit to create the portal for you to enter.
  • This portal leads you to Neural Sanctum, and here's where you'll find the Solus Heart.

If you found Solus Wing to be a hard challenge, Solus Heart will be a tougher fight. However, you can play at a difficulty that suits you to progress in the DLC. You can use the newly released Drifter survivor to make the task slightly easier (or go with a choice you're familiar with).

Taking picture with sweet bee in disney dreamlight valley

There are many unique critters you can meet while exploring Wishblossom Ranch in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Sweet Bees are some of the cutest ones, as they're a lot smaller than all other Companions you can feed and befriend.

If you're hoping to unlock some Bee allies, you'll first have to win them over with the right foods. They're decently picky creatures, so here's how to feed Sweet Bees in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where to find Bees in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Bees flying through Pixie Acres in disney dreamlight valley
Screenshot by Destructoid

Sweet Bees can be found buzzing around the Pixie Acres region in Wishblossom Ranch. This includes the Sundae Shores, Hundred-Acre Fields, Hunny Falls, and Pixie Flats areas. Each Bee variant calls a specific region in the larger biome home, so you'll need to gain access to all sections to unlock them.

How to approach a Bee in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Sweet Bees need to be approached using the tag method. This means you should run right up to them, freeze, wait for them to zip to a new location, follow them to the next stop, freeze again, and repeat this process as many times as the Bee likes.

All you need to do is keep following the Bee around until the "Approach" option appears next to it, which then allows you to feed it. This is one of the easier approach methods, as you can't really mess it up.

Sweet Bee favorite food in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The favorite food of all Sweet Bees is Coral Honey. This special item falls under the Fish category, and can be caught from white ripple spots anywhere in Pixie Acres, including the Sundae Shores, Hundred-Acre Fields, Hunny Falls, and Pixie Flats regions.

If you aren't feeling up for some fishing, Bees do like a few other items, too. They like all Flowers, including those you can find around Wishblossom Ranch and other worlds. Flowers only count as liked food, though, not loved, so Coral Honey is the best option for building your bond and receiving the best prizes in return.

Sweet Bee hangout bonus in Disney Dreamlight Valley

After befriending a Bee and having them hang out with you, you'll gain the Flower pick-up bonus. The Sweet Bee at your side will seek out and pick up all the Flowers you come across while exploring, making them excellent allies for stocking up on this useful resource.

Sweet Bee schedule and location in Disney Dreamlight Valley

There are four Sweet Bees you can find around Pixie Acres, all of which have unique schedules and specific areas they call home. Here are all of the Bee variants, where to find them, and what days and times they're out and about.

Goose Location Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Sweet Bee Hunny Falls 7am to 8pm 7am to 8pm 7am to 8pm 7am to 8pm 7am to 8pm 7am to 8pm 7am to 8pm
Pink Sweet Bee Pixie Flats N/A N/A N/A All day N/A All day All day

There are plenty of other creatures to befriend around Wishblossom Ranch. Next, you may want to learn how to feed Geese and how to feed Skunks. You'll also want to know how to unlock all horses and mounts, as many of them are needed to progress further.

BO7 Multiplayer Mason gameplay

One of the biggest selling points for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 over the past couple of months is that Treyarch and Activision would be reducing skill-based matchmaking. It's why I was so excited for it.

But almost immediately, CoD players began to voice concerns that things felt the same from Black Ops 6 and previous games, judging by how "sweaty" lobbies have felt, especially compared to the game's beta test when its lower SBMM "Open Matchmaking" was first tested.

Treyarch quickly posted to quell player complaints, two days after launch, confirming that "all of our Open Playlists use Open Matchmaking" and "we remain committed to that approach." But now, less than a week after launch, some gamers are not buying it.

Many high-profile gamers have been posting online about SBMM feeling as high as ever, even former pro player Havok. But a video by content creator JayBroski posted last night shows a very interesting dichotomy by using the "two box" method that shows troubling results.

The "two box" method has become a thing over the past few years, where players will use two accounts to play the game. The first account is used to intentionally play poorly and trick the game into thinking you're low skill, and then the real account joins that account's lobby to get low skill lobbies.

JayBroski does just that in his video, and compared to how he showed and says the gameplay feels on his basic account, it's like two different worlds. His normal account shows him getting matched up with higher skill players who mastered omnimovement, while the "two box" account appears to get matched with players on the lower end of the skill bracket.

Another content creator, Saio, posted a video of them connecting to the same lobby over and over again while trying to match up with new players. While this doesn't prove or refute anything, it does call the matchmaking system into question as to what's actually happening behind the scenes.

It's tough to take any of this as concrete evidence that Treyarch or Activision are "lying" about open matchmaking. I've reached out for comment on the subject, but since it's already been publicly addressed, I doubt any more will be said on the matter for now.

https://twitter.com/TheJayBroski/status/1990927870819008610

I feel as though a lot of the opinions from streamers and content creators are coming from players may be eschewed, as their experience likely differs from the average player who's not online during business hours with other sweatier players.

Personally, I've been having a tough time in BO7 multiplayer since launch. My lobbies feel pretty random at times (I get destroyed almost as often as I run into players who seem to be discovering their left analog stick for the first time), but it also does seem like I'm getting matched against better players than I was in the beta, too. The nerf to aim assist on controller hasn't helped anything on my end, either, so it's been a rough go.

I dreamed of the SBMM discussion and debate finally being over with BO7's open matchmaking, but it appears it's only just beginning. I never thought it would be a cure-all where every lobby would be filled with "bots," but man, I'm getting tired of the constant bickering about the system, too.

Standing with Goofy and Khan in disney dreamlight valley

Goofy's Stall is one of the most important shops to hit up upon landing in new worlds in Disney Dreamlight Valley, as he's got seeds to grow all kinds of exclusive ingredients. His shop looks a bit different in Wishblossom Ranch, though, so you may need help finding it.

If you don't get Goofy's Stall up and running early on, you won't be able to progress farther in the main storyline. It's a staple you can't move on without, so here's where to find Goofy's Stall in Wishblossom Ranch in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where is Goofy's Stall in Wishblossom Ranch in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

pointing at goofy's stall train in disney dreamlight valley
Screenshot by Destructoid

Goofy's Stall is a train that moves around the entire Wishblossom Ranch world constantly. In all other locations, Goofy has a few shops you can visit, typically with one in each unique biome. Here, though, all the items he has for sale are available in one place.

How to locate Goofy's Stall in Wishblossom Ranch in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The location of Goofy's Stall in Wishblossom Ranch is marked by a moving train icon on the map. Wishblossom Ranch is pretty big, but this icon is by far the biggest one on the map, making it fairly easy to spot no matter where it goes.

His stall is fairly slow, so you don't need to worry too much about having to chase it down, especially if you're using a horse or mount to get around. As soon as you get decently close to it, the train will stop and pop open the shop in the back. It won't start moving again until you wander off quite a bit, so it's easy to find and interact with as needed.

Screenshot by Destructoid

How to get Goofy's Stall in Wishblossom Ranch in Disney Dreamlight Valley

You unlock Goofy's Stall by completing the Wheel Big Trouble quest. Before this point, there's no way to buy anything from him, so it's a crucial one to tackle early on. Luckily, it's a fairly early game mission. You do need to meet a few prerequisites before it's available, though, including completing A Wishful Invitation, Tales of a Broken Heart, unlocking Snow White, and Ghost Town.

What does Goofy's Stall in Wishblossom Ranch sell in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

The stock in Goofy's Wishblossom Ranch Stall grows over time as you unlock new areas. Initially, though, you only have a few options, so be sure you keep progressing through the storyline if you want more. Here's everything he sells once you've unlocked all major biomes.

Name Price
Beetroot Seeds 10 Star Coins
Scarlet Kale Seeds 15 Star Coins
Apples 50 Star Coins
Wheat Seeds One Star Coin
Pearly Barley Seeds 50 Star Coins
Dark Chocolate Coffee Bean Seeds 60 Star Coins
Lollipop Fruit Seeds 175 Star Coins
Fairy Kamut Seeds 200 Star Coins

Falling on the ground by Tigger in disney dreamlight valley

You've made some decent progress in trying to save Wishblossom Ranch, but there's still a whole biome you haven't unlocked yet in Disney Dreamlight Valley. In the Bounce Up, Never Down quest, it's finally time to venture into Pixie Acres.

A new friend is waiting for you in this enchanting area, as is the next Crystal Key you need. There's a lot to get done, so here's a complete walkthrough for the Bounce Up, Never Down quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete Bounce Up, Never Down in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Bounce Up, Never Down quest, you need to unlock Pixie Acres, meet Tigger, and rescue him from a tree. He's quite a chaotic character, and helping him out is no easy task, so here's a full breakdown of all the steps in this mission.

Reach level four friendship with Khan

Before you can clear the path to Pixie Acres and progress this quest, you need to reach level four friendship with Khan. He's the only horse who can kick down obstacles, but he needs a more powerful barrier-breaking ability to help you get through, so you need to focus on building your bond with him to unlock it.

You can increase your friendship with Khan by riding him, petting him, feeding him, brushing him, jumping over obstacles with him, and performing tasks around the valley with his help. Once you have him at the required level, meet up with Snow White to discuss what to do next.

Search the eastern edge of Modish Marsh to find a steel barrier

Screenshot by Destructoid

With Khan's new and improved ability, it's now time to break your way into Pixie Acres. Head to the eastern edge of Paisley Park, right on the other side of the Quarry, and close to the cave where you first found Cruella. Use Khan's ability to break down the barrier blocking entry into Modish Marsh.

Once you're inside Modish Marsh, head directly east until you reach the edge of the biome. Walk slightly north to find a steel barrier blocking the way to Pixie Acres. Use Khan's upgraded kicking ability to break it and open the pathway to Pixie Acres.

Enter Pixie Acres and explore Sundae Shores to find a new friend

You've finally made it into Pixie Acres, and there's a new friend waiting to meet you inside. Walk forward slightly to trigger the biome unlock cutscene and watch as Tigger jumps out to scare you. He has a good laugh, then bounces away.

Find Tigger in the Hundred Acre Fields

You've got to catch up to Tigger so you can officially meet him. Walk forward into the Sundae Shores region a bit, then turn right as soon as you see a pathway branching off. This path leads to a waterfall, and right before you reach it, you need to turn left. This gets you to the Hundred-Acre Fields area in Pixie Acres.

Looking at Tigger in tree in disney dreamlight valley

Once you're in Hundred Acre Fields, run forward slightly, then make a sharp right as soon as you see the hollow log. Walk through to reach the other side. Continue walking straight until you spot a vibrant green and orange tree where Tigger is perched and waiting. Chat with him once you find it.

Take a picture of the word help for Tinker Bell

Tigger is trapped in a tree and panicking about it, and as he does, the word "Help" materializes next to it. It's quite a strange phenomenon, so equip your Phone from the tool wheel to take a picture with it.

Talk to Tinker Bell in the Wishblossom Heart

You're not quite sure how to help Tigger get down, so meet up with Tinker Bell to see if she has any ideas. You can find her in the Wishblossom Heart. The stone archway that leads into this area is situated right between the bridge that leads into Wishblossom Ranch and the bridge that leads to Wishing Way.

Explore Pixie Acres to gather ingredients for Tinker Bell

Tinker Bell's got an idea for upgrading your Pickaxe so you can break the letters in "Help" and form a ladder to get Tigger down. You'll need quite a few ingredients to make it, though, so get to work obtaining:

  • Two Yellow Lily of the Valley – Can be found growing in the wild all throughout Pixie Acres, including around Sundae Shores, Hundred-Acre Fields, Hunny Falls, and Pixie Flats.
  • Two Blue Lily of the Valley – Can be found growing in the wild all throughout Pixie Acres, including around Sundae Shores, Hundred-Acre Fields, Hunny Falls, and Pixie Flats.
  • Two Pink Lily of the Valley – Can be found growing in the wild all throughout Pixie Acres, including around Sundae Shores, Hundred-Acre Fields, Hunny Falls, and Pixie Flats.
  • Two Bonsai Star Fruit – Can be found growing on a few trees throughout Pixie Acres, including around Sundae Shores, Hunny Falls, and Pixie Flats.

Once you have everything you need, head back to Tinker Bell to hand all of the materials over to her.

Use your pickaxe to break each help near the ginormous flowering tree

Now that your Royal Pickaxe has been upgraded, you're ready to help Tigger. Return to Pixie Acres and make your way back over to the tree he's stuck in. Equip your Royal Pickaxe and use it to break the word "Help" right next to him, another one back by the hollow log you walked through, and one last one near the southwest corner of the area.

Head back over to the tree and interact with it to make a ladder. Chat with Tigger at the tree once you're done to ask him to make more words since you don't have enough letters to reach him. He won't talk, though, so you need some additional help to figure out how to get him.

Talk to Snow White

Track down Snow White around Wishblossom Ranch to see if she has any ideas for helping Tigger. She thinks you might be able to get him to holler a different word that starts with "H" if you make him a dish involving honey.

Cook Honey Pancakes for Tigger

The recipe for Honey Pancakes is gifted to you from Tinker Bell. It's a three-star dish that requires mostly simple ingredients, including:

  • One Honey Coral – Can be fished out of white ripple spots in all bodies of water around Pixie Acres, including those in Sundae Shores, Hundred-Acre Fields, Hunny Falls, and Pixie Flats.
  • One Wheat – Can be planted, watered, grown, and harvested. You can buy seeds from Goofy's Stall in the Peaceful Meadow biome or his wandering Stall in Wishblossom Ranch. They cost one Star Coin.
  • One Eggs – Can be purchased from Tiana's pantry in Tiana's Palace or Remy's pantry in Chez Remy. Eggs cost 220 Star Coins to purchase.

Once you've cooked the Honey Pancakes, bring them to Tigger in the tree. He's quite upset that you tried to feed him honey, so he yells the word quite a few times. Run around the area and break the word "Honey" three times to progress. You have to go back through the hollow log down to the lower area to find two of them.

With all three words broken, head back to Tigger's tree and interact with it to stack the new letters you obtained. Tigger will finally get down so you can chat with him. As soon as you do, the Bounce Up, Never Down quest will be complete. Next, it's time to tackle The Balloon Family quest.

Gas planet in No Man's Sky

Expedition 17 Redux is now live in No Man's Sky, and the Titan questline will take you on a journey across stars and bodies of Worlds Part II.

The expedition is structured similarly to the ones we have received in previous ones. There are different sets of tasks to complete, but first, let's look at how to begin the new expedition.

Disclaimer: Guide is a work in progress.

How to begin Expedition 17 Redux in No Man's Sky

The process of beginning the Titan expedition is the same as the previous ones. This is also the first repeat expedition this year, so it's a great chance for those who had failed to complete it in the first place.

  • To start the expedition, you'll need to access the Anomaly.
  • First, get your ship into the space and summon the Anomaly.
  • Go inside and land your spaceship.
  • Go to the main entrance to find the expedition terminal.
  • You can first check the tasks and the main rewards of the Titan expedition
  • Once ready, you can begin the expedition.

Make sure to create a backup of your current save before you begin the expedition.

How to complete Titan (Expedition 17 Redux) in No Man's Sky

The Titan event is divided into five phases, followed by a final phase. As of writing, I have only included the tasks and what you have to do. Most of the tasks are pretty simple, but I will add extra help for the hard ones.

Phase 1

Task How to Complete
Escape from Titan Locate your starship
Ignition Leave the planet
Children of Giants Visit all the moons of a gas giant
Biosphere Discover 4 plants
Never Look Back Warp to a new system

The Chronicle: 3 Take a photo at the third rendezvous

Phase 4

Task How to Complete

No Place Like Home Construct a base on a gas giant
Winds of Change Get carried away by a tornado
Hazardous Materials Gather Crystallised Helium: 0/182
Rendezvous 4 Reach the 4th rendezvous
The Chronicle: 4 Take a photo at the fourth rendezvous

Phase 5

Task How to Complete
Quantum Bedrock Earn 5000 Nanites
Legacy Rename a discovery
Reliquary Excavate 4 Ancient Bones
Genetic Currency Earn 75000 units for discovering a creature
Surveyor of Worlds Explore 7000 units on foot
Rendezvous 5 Reach the final rendezvous
The Chronicle: 5 Take a photo at the final rendezvous

The final phase will be completed once you finish the previous five. As I said, most of the tasks will be pretty straightforward (some of them will take longer than the rest). I will add more details for the harder tasks as I complete them with the rest of the community.

Leaping across gap riding Maximus in disney dreamlight valley

It's time to saddle up, fellow horse lovers, because Disney Dreamlight Valley's Wishblossom Ranch expansion has galloped straight into my heart and whisked me back to a simpler, horse-obsessed part of my childhood I didn't even realize I'd been missing. This is the third DLC we've gotten for the Disney game—and it's without a doubt the best one yet. 

The Wishblossom Ranch expansion whisks you away to a special place that's powered by wishes, where horses used to roam free around a gorgeous ranch area. This area has fallen into ruin and neglect thanks to the mysterious Decay, and now it's up to you to restore it to its former glory, with the help of some iconic Disney characters and horses to guide the way.

As someone who grew up completely horse-obsessed—I'm talking horse games, horse wallpaper, horse figurines, and even convincing my parents to sign me up for horseback riding lessons—stepping into this expansion felt like unlocking a piece of childhood I hadn't touched in years. It stirred up a nostalgia I didn't realize I still carried with me, made even sweeter by experiencing it in a game I already adore.

Mounts are the standout feature of this pack, and they're absolutely game-changing additions to the world of DDV. Anything you can or want to do on foot can be done much better while riding a loyal companion. Harvesting, mining, digging, watering, and removing obstacles are all roles your horses can specialize in and help you tackle. Those pesky chores that can sometimes feel repetitive and tedious are somehow fun and new again with a trust steed to help you through them. 

One of my biggest reservations going into Wishblossom Ranch was that it only included four characters, while previous expansions have always offered five. This worry vanished pretty quickly, though, because with all the horses, it honestly feels like we got way more than five characters.

Although they're not full-on villagers, Maximus from Tangled, Khan from Mulan, and Pegasus from Hercules all have unique personalities and abilities that certainly make them feel like more than simple animal allies. You also get to create a range of custom horses, with loads of design options to choose from, including various colors, patterns, saddles, hair types, and much more. 

All horses, including both custom and Disney ones, have lots of unique interactions, too, like feeding and brushing. And, of course, traveling around has never been faster or more fun. Mounts can be used in all worlds, including Wishblossom Ranch, Dreamlight Valley, and other DLC areas, allowing you to explore anywhere you like with your equine friends. Altogether, the horses feel surprisingly complex and fleshed out, just like regular characters do.

The new villagers are incredibly exciting, with some characters I've been waiting to see for a long time. Cruella De Vil and Tinker Bell are my personal favorites, but it's also wonderful to finally see Snow White. Tigger's inclusion is particularly fun, and it gives me hope that we might see more Winnie the Pooh characters in future updates. It's a delightful mix of characters, and it feels like there's something for everyone, along with plenty of engaging quests and rewards to discover along the way. 

The biomes in this DLC are easily some of the most stunning and unique locations we've seen yet, fulfilling many of my big wishes for the game. Wishing Alps is a gorgeous, snowy wonderland, complete with a cozy town area. Glamour Gulch feels fashionable and a little sinister, featuring stunning landmarks like a lighthouse and a massive metal bridge. Pixie Acres blends sweets-themed areas with oversized items like giant butterflies and flowers, giving you that magical, small-as-a-pixie feeling.

Looking at massive metal bridge in disney dreamlight valley

There are no other areas quite like these ones, and they've quickly become some of my favorite locations in the game. There's so much new space to build, and so many villager houses, I can't wait to move here. Even the infamous eyesore that is Vanellope's candy house finally has a proper home in the sweet Sunday Shores region of Pixie Acres.

DDV expansions can be fairly pricey, but if you love this game, this one is absolutely worth it. It's easily the best DLC we've seen yet, and it doesn't even feel close. Each expansion seems to outdo the last, and just when I think the devs can't impress me any more than they have, they find a way to surprise me.

Wishblossom Ranch is a triumph—a lovingly built expansion that captures everything magical about the game while also adding a captivating new world to get lost in. It's rare that a game you already know and love can still surprise you, but this expansion does it effortlessly, stirring up nostalgia I didn't even know was there.

Petting Khan in disney dreamlight valley

As you embark on a journey through Wishblossom Ranch, you'll encounter quite a few horses and mounts in Disney Dreamlight Valley. These adorable and helpful creatures can be unlocked as allies to help you get around and tackle key tasks more quickly.

Most horses and mounts aren't available right away and require you to tackle certain tasks or meet specific conditions, so you may need some help figuring out what needs to be done to get them. Here's how to unlock all horses and mounts in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

All horses and mounts in Disney Dreamlight Valley

There are five unique mounts you can unlock in DDV. The vast majority of them are tied to progressing through the main Wishblossom Ranch storyline and are unlocked naturally as you go. Some require you to tackle different tasks, though, so here's a full breakdown of how to get all mounts.

Name Image Special ability How to get
Wishblossom Horses Wishblossom Horse in disney dreamlight valley Pushing heavy objects Your first Wishblossom Ranch horse is granted during the A Wishful Invitation quest. You can then unlock additional ones to customize by tackling Snow White's Hold Your Horses: The Wishing Alps quest and learning how to make Stable Repair Kits.
Maximus Maximus in disney dreamlight valley Long jumping Unlocked during the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest.
Khan Khan in disney dreamlight valley Breaking down barriers Unlocked during the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest.
Pegasus Pegasus in disney dreamlight valley Flying TBA
Sven Sven in disney dreamlight valley TBA Purchase the Deluxe Edition of Wishblossom Ranch.

How to unlock customizable horses in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Your first ever mount is a customizable horse, which is granted shortly after you arrive in Wishblossom Ranch during the A Wishful Invitation quest. You can unlock extra horses to customize by tackling Snow White's Hold Your Horses: The Wishing Alps mission.

In this quest, you learn how to make Stable Repair Kits. Even more horses can be acquired once it's done, as you can gather the supplies to make this kit repeatedly to upgrade the stable sitting in the Wishblossom Ranch region.

How to unlock Maximus in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Maximus is freed from the Wishblossom of Hope and unlocked as a mount during the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest. He's unlocked at the very end of this mission, so you'll need to work through almost the full quest before you meet him.

This is the first main trial you'll face in Wishblossom Ranch, but before you get to this point, you'll first need to tackle A Wishful Invitation, Tales of a Broken Heart, unlocking Snow White, Ghost Town, and Wheel Big Trouble.

How to unlock Khan in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Khan is trapped with the Wishblossom of Ambition and must be freed during the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest. You'll find him after you break all three crystals around the cavern and chat with the Wishblossom of Ambition near the very end of the quest. You need his help to get out at the end.

How to unlock Pegasus in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Pegasus is the third storyline mount you can get, and is unlocked after you reach the Pixie Acres region, likely in the third Crystal Cavern trial. We're still working on meeting him, so we'll update all relevant details here as soon as we do.

How to unlock Sven in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Sven is a Deluxe Edition exclusive, which means you must purchase this special version of the Wishblossom Ranch expansion to unlock him. He also comes with four special rewards and a unique Dream Style, so if you're a fan of this iconic reindeer, this edition is certainly worth getting. So far, he's the only mount that isn't a horse, making him quite special.

You've got the second Crystal Key, so it's time to face another challenge deep in the heart of Wishblossom Ranch in Disney Dreamlight Valley. To navigate through this one, you need to tackle the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest.

This is one of the tougher missions you'll encounter in this DLC, as it's specifically designed to be a trial that pushes you to solve puzzles and use new mechanics. It's easy to get stuck, so here's a complete walkthrough for the Crystal Cavern: Glamour Gulch quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

To complete the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest, you need to help the Wishblossom of Ambition, navigate through the second trial, and free Khan. It's one of the more challenging missions you'll face, so here's a full breakdown of how to get it done.

Bring Glamour Gulch's key to Tinker Bell

Now that you've finally gotten the second Crystal Key from Cruella, it's time to return to Tinker Bell with it. You can find her through the stone archway situated between the bridge leading into the Wishblossom region and the Wishing Way area.

She's floating right by the massive Wishblossom, so chat with her once you're inside. Then, follow her around the left side of the Wishblossom to the pink archway. Talk to her again to activate the second Crystal Cavern challenge.

Progress further into the second Crystal Cavern

You're in the second trial now, so it's time to face some fresh challenges. Start by following the path forward until you reach a large gap. If you're not already using him, you'll need to switch to Maximus here, as he's the proud horse the quest mentions that can help you leap over this gap.

When you reach a dead end, turn right and approach the empty lever socket. Mount Maximus and interact with it to activate the scent trail. Then, turn around and follow the red puffs of smoke over to the corner. Here, you'll find the missing lever, so pick it up and bring it back over to the elevator to progress.

Flick the lever to bring down a platform in the middle of the gap. You can now jump across to the platform, then jump again to reach the other side as long as you're using Maximus to get across. Walk forward a bit more to find the Ambition Wishblossom, another massive flower that is suffering from the Decay.

Remove the Decay crystals to help the Wishblossom of Ambition

The Wishblossom of Ambition needs your help just like the Wishblossom of Hope did during the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest. This means you need to find and destroy three Decay crystals around the cavern. These crystals can be found:

  • In the blue area, on top of the mezzanine near the entrance.
  • In the green flooded area to its right.
  • In the pink area, behind the cluttered elevator to its left.

Remove the crystal in the blue area, on top of the mezzanine near the entrance

From the entrance, head left and approach the red puff of smoke on the missing lever by the bridge. While riding Maximus, interact with it to activate the trail. Then, turn back the way you came and follow the smoke trail over to the other side of the entrance. Leap over the water and walk over to the back wall to find the lever.

Bring the lever back to the bridge to place it back where it belongs. Flip the switch to lower the bridge, then walk across it. Continue forward until you enter a new cavern. Head left and flip the lever to lower the first platform.

Next, go over to the right side of the room. Switch your mount to a custom one, as Maximus cannot push heavy items. Push the rock forward twice, then squeeze through the small gap between the rocks to access the second switch. Flip this one to lower the second platform.

Walk back to the middle of this cavern and swap your mount back to Maximus. Leap onto the first platform, the second one, and across to the other side of the room. Continue down the path until you find the first red crystal to break at the very end. Take the nearby elevator down to return to the main room.

Remove the crystal in the green flooded area to its right

Starting at the front entrance, head right around the Wishblossom and back to the right corner. Proceed through the archway and down the path. When you reach a more open cavern, continue straight past the massive stone, down to the end of the path, and leap across the water while riding Maximus.

On the other side, walk over to the lever by the bridge to activate it. Then, head back across the water around to the backside of the bridge to push the large stone across. Again, you'll have to swap Maximus for one of your own horses that has the push ability.

Push the stone all the way across to the other side of the bridge so it lands on the pressure plate. Then, walk over to the pressure plate near the half-open door to fully unlock it. Walk forward slightly to find the second crystal you can destroy.

Remove the crystal in the pink area, behind the cluttered elevator to its left

From the front entrance, walk around to the back left side of the Wishblossom room. Look for the cluttered elevator, and flick the lever right next to it. This raises the platform out of your way so you can leap across to the other side and break the third crystal.

Talk to the Wishblossom of Ambition

Now that all of the crystals are broken, head back to the Wishblossom of Ambition in the middle of the room to check on it. Navigate through a bit of dialogue with it, then watch a short cutscene as Khan appears from the flower. You've now got a new horse ally on your side, so mount up to prepare for your next task.

Interact with the barrier

Approach the wooden barrier up the stone stairs with pink crystals on either side of them. While riding Khan, interact with the barrier to have him kick it down. This is his special ability, and no other horse is capable of performing it.

Continue down the path, breaking all other barriers you encounter, to return to the main Wishblossom room with Tinker Bell. Chat with her to complete the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest. It's nearly time to explore Pixie Acres, but first, you've got to tackle the Bounce Up, Never Down quest.

Taking a picture with Cruella in disney dreamlight valley

The villainous Cruella de Vil is inciting chaos all over Wishblossom Ranch, but luckily, you can befriend her to calm things down a bit in Disney Dreamlight Valley. She's not an easy character to unlock, though, so you might need some help with this process.

Unlocking villagers is crucial for gaining access to exclusive rewards and quests. Cruella is an especially important individual to befriend if you also want to unlock all of Wishblossom Ranch. Here's how to unlock Cruella in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to get Cruella in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To unlock Cruella, you need to unlock the Glamour Gulch biome and complete The Skunk Rebellion quest. There are quite a lot of prerequisites before you reach this point, though. In total, there are 10 main tasks you need to complete and one other character you have to unlock before you can recruit her. To unlock Cruella, you need to:

  • Unlock the Wishblossom Ranch DLC.

    • Cruella is a DLC exclusive character, so you must have this expansion purchased to meet her.

  • Travel to Wishblossom Ranch.

    • You must navigate through a large chunk of the main storyline in this DLC world to meet her, so head to the Stardust Port to board the train to Wishblossom Ranch.

  • Complete the A Wishful Invitation quest.

    • Begin your journey with this introductory quest, where you meet Snow White and start exploring the Wishblossom Ranch region.

  • Complete the Tales of a Broken Heart quest.

    • Help save the massive Wishblossom from dying and meet Tinker Bell in this main mission that provides a lot of context for the main storyline and gets you one step closer to unlocking Cruella.

  • Unlock Snow White.

    • Cruella can't be recutied until after you've gotten Snow White, so stick to the main story quests to get her first. She's unlocked at the very end of the Tales of a Broken Heart quest.

  • Complete the Ghost Town quest.

    • Before you can move on to the biome where Cruella is located, you need to get some key businesses up and running in Wishblossom Ranch, which is what this quest is all about.

  • Complete the Wheel Big Trouble quest.

    • Goofy's caravan is blocking your path forward, so you need to help him fix it up so you can venture forward in your journey.

  • Complete the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest.

    • This is your first big Wishblossom Ranch trial, and the key step that you need to complete to gain entry to Glamour Gulch.

  • Complete The Decay of Fashion quest.

    • This mission is where you enter Cruella's Glamour Gulch biome and finally get to meet her. It's the first of the quests you'll tackle based entirely around her.

  • Complete The De Vil Crash quest.

    • Cruella's second story quest focuses on rescuing her car from the Quarry. It's the last side mission you need to tackle before you get Cruella's unlock quest.

  • Complete The Skunk Rebellion quest.

    • This is the quest where you finally unlock Cruella. At the very end of this mission, you get to build her house for 15,000 Star Coins, at which point she's unlocked as a villager.

Standing in front of a fountain surrounded by skunks in disney dreamlight valley

You've been helping Cruella out with anything and everything she needs, so it's finally time to get that Crystal Key she promised in Disney Dreamlight Valley. To do so, you need to work through The Skunk Rebellion quest.

Cruella's not exactly a woman of her word, so things get a bit chaotic in this quest as you have to resort to some pretty strange and extreme means to get what you need from her. It's quite a wild adventure to tackle, so here's a complete walkthrough for The Decay of Fashion quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete The Skunk Rebellion in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete The Skunk Rebellion quest, you need to assemble a Skunk army to get Cruella to give you the Crystal Key you need. It's a pretty complex process to work through, so here's a full breakdown of all key steps.

Talk to Cruella

To get The Skunk Rebellion quest officially going, you need to start by chatting with Cruella. After all of your hard work in The Decay of Fashion and The De Vil Crash quests, she seems to be finally ready to help you get the Crystal Key you need. 

Look for the key in the trunk of Cruella's car

Walk over to Cruella's car in the middle of the Quarry area. Approach the front seat area and look for sparkles near it. Press the interact button to grab what's inside. Cruella promised you the Crystal Key, but instead, you find a bag of Seed Samples.

Bring the Seed Samples to Cruella

Find Cruella and chat with her about the Seed Samples you found. She's still playing games and refusing to tell you where the key you need is, so it's off on yet another tangent you go.

Talk to the dry-cleaning girl

Cruella told you to find a "dry-cleaning girl" who is pasty and wears yellow and blue clothes. This, of course, refers to Snow White, so track her down around Wishblossom Ranch to have a chat. 

Gather the materials for the Skunk houses

Snow White knows of some Skunks who can help, but to get them on your side, you first need to build some Skunk houses. Before you can make them, you need to gather the right materials, including: 

  • 10 Beady Soil – Can be dug up from the ground anywhere around Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.
  • Five Black Silk Flower – Can be found growing in the wild all throughout Glamour Gulch, including Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.
  • Three Red Silk Flower – Grows in the wild randomly throughout Glamour Gulch, including around the Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau areas.
  • Two Jasper – Can be mined from rock spots throughout Glamour Gulch, including in the mined from rock spots around Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau regions.

Craft a house for the Skunks

With all of the materials gathered, find a crafting table around Wishblossom Ranch or place one down yourself. By default, there's one by your house in the Wishing Way area and down in the Quarry in the Paisley Park region. 

Switch over to the Furniture tab and select the Elegant Skunk House item to craft. Then, open up Furniture mode and place it anywhere you like around the vast Glamour Gulch region. I chose to place mine close to the Quarry since this seems to be where most quests unfold, but any location you like in this biome works. 

Find a flag outside a cave bearing the face of a fashionable Skunk

You've won over the Skunks, so it's time to find their leader's flag. Your next mission is to hunt down a flag outside a cave bearing the face of a fashionable Skunk. This cave is situated near the east end of Glamour Gulch, which is in the Runway River region. There are two flag banners situated on either side of it, making it fairly easy to spot once you know where to look.

Talk to Professor Mouffette

Head inside the cave in Runway River to find the extremely fashionable Professor Mouffette. Interact with him to chat about the situation, or rather, have Snow Whtie translate for both you and the Skunk. Then, follow Snow White up to the Haute Plateau region, approach the massive metal bridge, and chat with Snow White.

Replace the lever in the bridge mechanism for Cruella's Fortress

Walk into the small tunnel near the edge of the bridge and look for the sparkles on the right wall. Interact with it to place the lever Snow White gave you, then flip the switch to lower the bridge. Cross the bridge to enter the fortress and start the rebellion.

Deactivate the barking greyhound statues without getting caught by the mannequins

Cruella's estate is well protected, so you've got a bit of work to do before the Skunk rebellion can truly begin, starting with deactivating three greyhound statues. All three are guarded by some mannequin guards, similar to the card guards you may have encountered when unlocking Cheshire Cat and Alice.

first and second greyhound statue marked in disney dreamlight valley
Screenshot by Destructoid

You need to move carefully and swiftly past the guards while avoiding getting caught in their lights to reach and power down each statue around the area. The first two statues are visible from where you spawn into the area.

The first greyhound statue is situated to your left, just past a low hedge and two mannequin guards. You can walk right down the middle to get to this one whenever the mannequins are looking away, and it's the easiest statue to turn off.

The second greyhound statue is north of your spawn point, right behind the two small greenhouses close to the stone fence. Head around either the left or right side of the greenhouse, watch the mannequin's spotlight pattern, and walk through when it's pointed towards the fence.

The third greyhound statue is behind the massive mansion. From your spawn point, head north over to the greenhouses where the second statue is located. Turn right toward the mansion and make your way around the back. Once the spotlights are pointed at the fence, creep forward slightly, then rush through once they move out of your way.

As soon as the third statue is turned off, a cutscene will play as all the Skunks arrive to storm the mansion. Then, Cruella will show up to have a chat with you so you can hammer out an agreement.

Place Cruella's house in one of the main areas in Glamour Gulch

The Crystal Key you seek is inside Cruella's house, but she can't get inside, so you need to fix it up for her. Enter Furniture mode, select Cruella's quest icon, and place her home anywhere around Glamour Gulch. This includes the  Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau areas.

Interact with the Scrooge McDuck sign in front of it to spend 15,000 Star Coins and build Cruella's house. As soon as you do, Cruella will be unlocked as a villager, you'll get the Crystal Key you need, Professor Mouffette will be unlocked as a Companion, and The Skunk Rebellion quest will be complete. Now that you've got the second Crystal Key you need, it's time to tackle the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest.

Taking a picture with a skunk in disney dreamlight valley

Wishblossom Ranch is home to three adorable critters you can befriend in Disney Dreamlight Valley. As you get deeper into your journey to save this special world, one of the critter types you'll encounter is Skunks.

Every critter is unique, so figuring out how to increase your bond with them can be tricky. If you're eager to unlock these adorable creatures as allies but unsure how to go about the process, here's how to feed Skunks in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where to find Skunks in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Skunk eating in disney dreamlight valley
Screenshot by Destructoid

You can find all Skunk variants wandering around the Glamour Gulch region in the Wishblossom Ranch world. They can be found across all parts of this area, including Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.

The Glamour Gulch region makes up the northwest end of Wishblossom Ranch. No two Skunks are found in the same area around this biome, so you'll need to explore each individual section to meet all of them.

How to approach a Skunk in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Skunks must be approached using the red light, green light method, which means you move towards them when their guard is down and freeze as soon as it's up. When a Skunk's tail is up, you need to freeze. When it goes down, you're good to go.

You'll have to slowly make your way over to the Skunk, likely freezing around four to five times before you reach them and can safely interact. If you move while the Skunk's tail is up, they'll flee, and you'll have to chase them down and start the game all over again, so slow, careful movements are crucial for success.

Skunk's favorite food in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The favorite food of all Skunks around Wishblossom Ranch is the Pincushion Peach. These grow on trees throughout Cruella's Glamour Gulch biome, with one found in each of the unique areas, including Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.

If you don't have any Pincushion Peaches to give, Skunks also like Eggs, Cheese, any Fruits, and any Vegetables. All of these options are only liked dishes, not loved, so it's best to stick to Pincushion Peaches if you want the best rewards and relationship boost possible.

Skunk hangout bonus in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Once you befriend a Skunk critter and have them at your side as a loyal Companion, they'll help you out with the Vegetable pick up bonus. This means they'll grab all the Vegetables you come across during your journeys together. They're quite useful for gardening when you're working on harvesting ingredients that fall into this category.

Skunk schedule and location in Disney Dreamlight Valley

There are five Skunks you can find throughout Glamour Gulch. Here are all of the unique variants, where you'll find them wandering, and what days and times they're out.

Skunk Location Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Brown Skunk Paisley Park 12pm to 12am 12pm to 12am TBA 12pm to 12am TBA 12pm to 12am TBA
Patterned Skunk Haute Plateau Any day during cloudy, rainy, and stormy weather Any day during cloudy, rainy, and stormy weather Any day during cloudy, rainy, and stormy weather Any day during cloudy, rainy, and stormy weather Any day during cloudy, rainy, and stormy weather Any day during cloudy, rainy, and stormy weather Any day during cloudy, rainy, and stormy weather
Professor Mouffette Unlocks upon completing The Skunk Rebellion quest. N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A
Skunk Runway River 12am to 12pm 12am to 12pm 12am to 12pm 12am to 12pm 12am to 12pm 12am to 12pm 12am to 12pm
White Skunk Modish Marsh 12pm to 12am N/A 12pm to 12am N/A 12pm to 12am N/A 12pm to 12am

You don't have access to Glamour Gulch early on, so you'll need to work through quite an array of quests to gain access. The mission that unlocks this biome is The Decay of Fashion, but before you get to it, you'll also need to tackle A Wishful Invitation, Tales of a Broken Heart, Ghost Town, and Wheel Big Trouble.

Standing with Cruella, Maximus, Max, and Cruella's car in disney dreamlight valley

Cruella's car is stuck in a ditch at the bottom of the Quarry, and she requires your assistance to retrieve it in Disney Dreamlight Valley. You've got bigger problems to focus on, but she's got valuable intel you need, so it's time to tackle The De Vil Crash quest.

Cruella crashed her precious car and refuses to help with anything else until it's safe and sound. Luckily, you've finally got a way to retrieve it, so here's a complete walkthrough for The De Vil Crash quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete The De Vil Crash in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Standing with Maximus by journal in disney dreamlight valley

To finish The De Vil Crash quest, you need to find Cruella's missing journal fragments, repair the Rope and Pulley system, and help Cruella retrieve her car. There's quite a lot to get done in this one, so here's a full breakdown of all the steps you need to complete.

Dress up according to Cruella's standards

Apparently, your fashion sense isn't good enough for Cruella, so before she'll allow you to help her, you need to dress up to her standards. She gives you the Chic Equestrian Uniform to fix this issue, so equip it from the Wardrobe page to progress. Once you have it on, chat with Cruella about what to do next.

Find each fragment of Cruella's journal

Next up, Cruella needs you to find each missing fragment of her journal. There are three pieces to find, all of which are lost around the Glamour Gulch biome. You can find them:

  • Near the Quarry entrance on the beach – Found near the northwest corner of Glamour Gulch, close to the coast and the wooden ramp that leads down into the Quarry.
  • At the bottom of the Quarry – Near the east end of the Quarry, close to the wall.
  • Near a waterfall on the eastern edge of Glamour Gulch at the foot of the fortress – Near the very north end of Runway River, on the ground right in front of the waterfall.

Once you have all three journal fragments, meet Cruella down in the Quarry, close to her crashed car, to hand them over. She's finally ready to get back to fixing up her car, which means you're one step closer to the answers you need.

Find the resources needed for a Rope and Pulley Repair Kit

To help Cruella retrieve her car, you need to make a Rope and Pulley Repair Kit. Before you can craft it, there are quite a few resources you need to gather, including:

  • 10 Pearly Barley – Must be planted, watered, grown, and harvested. You can buy the Pearly Barley seeds you need from Goofy's Caravan, which is a train that constantly wanders around Wishblossom Ranch and is marked on the map.
  • 10 Beady Soil – Can be dug up using your Royal Shovel anywhere around Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.
  • Three Wire Coat Hangers – Can be found when fishing outside of ripple spots with your Royal Fishing Rod around Glamour Gulch, which includes the Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau areas.
  • Two Measuring-Coat Snail – Can be fished out of white ripple spots in Flamour Gulch, including water found throughout Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.

Once you have all of the items you need, head to a crafting station. Switch over to the Functional Items tab to select the Rope and Pulley Repair Kit option.

Repair the Rope and Pulley with the Rope and Pulley Repair Kit

With the Rope and Pulley Repair Kit now made, walk over to the north end of the Quarry. Interact with the Rope and Pulley system there to use the kit, then trot over to Cruella near her crashed car to talk about the next steps.

Put the Mod Saddle on your horse

Select one of your own custom horses and equip the special Mod Saddle Cruella made for them. You can do this by opening your Inventory, navigating to the Mounts tab, choosing the Customize option, selecting the Saddles section, and equipping the Mod Saddle. You must use a custom horse, not Maximus, for this step.

Once your horse is ready to go, talk to Cruella again, watch a short cutscene, then chat with her one last time to officially complete The De Vil Crash quest. Next up is The Skunk Rebellion quest, which gets you one step closer to finally getting the next Crystal Key you need.

Having tea with cruella in disney dreamlight valley

You've explored most of Wishing Alps, so it's time to venture into Glamour Gulch to continue the main Wishblossom Ranch storyline in Disney Dreamlight Valley. The quest that grants you access to this area is The Decay of Fashion.

This quest is where you finally meet Cruella, and she's got quite a list of tasks for you to accomplish. It's a decently tough mission to tackle, so here's a complete walkthrough for The Decay of Fashion quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete The Decay of Fashion in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete The Decay of Fashion quest, you need to gain access to Glamour Gulch, meet Cruella, and help her with a few tasks around the region. This is a pretty hefty quest with a lot to get done, so here's a full breakdown of everything you need to do in it.

Reach friendship level 3 with Maximus

Before you can actually get on with The Decay of Fashion quest, you need to increase your friendship with Maximus to level three. There are many ways to raise your bond with horses, including feeding them, brushing them, jumping over obstacles, petting them, riding them, and performing activities around the valley.

Since there are plenty of different ways to work on building friendship, it's entirely up to you how you get it done. Feeding, petting, and brushing give a huge friendship XP boost once per day, though, so be sure to do all three tasks to make this mission a bit easier to work through.

Talk to Snow White

With your friendship with Maximus now raised, track down Snow White around Wishblossom Ranch to talk about what's next. Then, follow her over to the entrance to Glamour Gulch, which can be found near the far west end of the island. Talk to her again once you get there to trigger a cutscene of you leaping across the massive gap to access the Galmour Gulch area.

Follow the tire tracks

Now that you've made it into Glamour Gulch, it's time to see if you can find Cruella. Luckily, it looks like she's left behind some tire tracks, so start traversing through the biome while following the dark brown tire marks in the grass. Along the way, you'll come across another broken bridge, so you'll need to use Maximus to leap across this one, too.

Explore the Quarry to find a clue to Cruella's location

The tire tracks stop at the Quarry, so your next task is to explore it to see if you can uncover anything about Cruella's location. Head down the wooden ramp near the west end of the Quarry to access it.

Once you're at the bottom, walk over to the mysterious white and black striped box surrounded by red smoke. Interact with it to learn that it belongs to Cruella and to reveal a scent trail that will help you find her.

Follow the scent trail through Glamour Gulch

It's time for another scavenger hunt around Glamour Gulch, only this time, you're following a scent trail around it. Interacting with Cruella's makeup bag revealed her scent, which has manifested as small red smoke balls throughout the area.

Follow the scent trail back up the Quarry ramp, along the water, past the wishing well, and into a secret cave near the very north end of the biome. Inside, you'll come face-to-face with none other than Cruella de Vil herself.

Take pictures of features in Glamour Gulch

Although you've just met her, Cruella already has a job for you. Her car is stuck in the Quarry, and she's trying to figure out how to get it out. The first step in this process is having you take pictures of features in Glamour Gulch to assess the situation.

Location Explanation Image
Quarry Mine Tracks Stand near the edge of the cliff overlooking the Quarry. This is the same spot where the tire tracks stop. quarry mine tracks in disney dreamlight valley
Iron Bridge Head over to the south end of the Paisley Park portion of Glamour Gulch. Stop right at the edge of the stone bridge that leads into the Runway River region and tilt your camera up to capture the massive Iron Bridge. iron bridge in disney dreamlight valley
The Lighthouse near the bridge Walk over to the coastal area, which can be found near the far west end of Paisley Park. Look out at the water to spot the Lighthouse. lighthouse in disney dreamlight valley

Once you've captured all three photos, head back to Cruella in the cave to chat about your progress. The messy state of the area is bothering her quite a bit, so before she's ready to work on fixing her car, she wants you to fix up a Bell Tower for her. Follow her over to the Haute Plateau region, then chat with her about what to do next.

Gather the materials to repair the Bell Tower

The Bell Tower Blueprint has quite a lot of required resources, all of which can be found around the Glamour Gulch area. Your next mission is to find all of the materials needed to repair the Bell Tower, including:

  • 20 Pixie Dust – Can be acquired by galloping over Dead Wishblossoms. It can also sometimes be found while performing other tasks around Wishblossom Ranch, like mining.
  • 10 Sequin Strands – Found growing in the wild around the Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau areas. They're strange red and black plants with spools of blue thread sticking up out of them.
  • 10 Antique Clothes Irons – Can be mined from rock spots around Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.
  • 10 Beady Soil – Can be dug up from the ground anywhere around Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.
  • Five Jasper – Can be mined from rock spots around Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.

Once you have all of the items you need, return to the Haute Plateau region and interact with the sign in front of the Bell Tower. Transfer over all of the required materials to complete the Blueprint. Then, chat with Cruella right next to it.

Gather the ingredients needed to prepare some Afternoon Tea

Cruella's got yet another side project for you, this time involving refreshments. She tasks you with cooking up some Afternoon Tea, which is a Wishblossom Ranch exclusive recipe you likely haven't made before. Before you can get cooking, you need to obtain:

  • One Dark Chocolate Coffee Beans – Must be planted, watered, grown, and harvested. You can purchase these seeds from Goofy's Caravan, which is the special traveling version of Goofy's Stall that wanders around the island.
  • One Pearly Barley – A crop you must plant, water, grow, and harvest yourself. You can buy the seeds you need from Goofy's wandering Caravan around Wishblossom Ranch.
  • One Pincushion Peach – Can be found growing on trees throughout the Glamour Gulch biome, including in the Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau areas.
  • One Vegetable – Choose any Vegetable you like to fulfill this last requirement. Carrots, Beetroots, Bell Peppers, Pumpkins, and Potatoes are a few examples, but any item that falls under this category works.

Once you've got all the required ingredients, head to a cooking station or place one down if needed. Throw all four items to cook up the Afternoon Tea dish, then return to Cruella by the Bell Tower to give it to her.

Decorate Glamour Gulch with the Afternoon Tea Set

Cruella needs a fancy setup to go with her fancy tea, so open Furniture mode, click on Cruella's quest icon, and place the Afternoon Tea Set furniture item anywhere around Glamour Gulch. I placed it right by the Bell Tower, but you can put it anywhere you like around this vast biome.

Chat with Cruella once you're done to officially finish The Decay of Fashion quest. There's still plenty more work to be done to save Wishblossom Ranch, though, so it's onto The De Vil Crash quest.

Holding a goose in disney dreamlight valley

There are many unique critters wandering around the vast world of Wishblossom Ranch in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of the many critters you'll encounter is Geese, and there are quite a few of them to befriend.

Like all critters, Geese have unique food preferences, behaviors, locations, and schedules, which means there's a lot to consider if you want to get to know them. Here's how to feed Geese in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where to find Geese in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Geese can exclusively be found around the Wishing Alps biome. This includes Silver Summit, Wishing Way, Delver Dale, Wishblossom Ranch, and Ranch Highlands, which are the five smaller regions included in this biome.

All areas featured in this biome can be found near the south end of the Wishblossom Ranch DLC world. There are five unique Geese you can befriend throughout these regions, and each one calls a different section of the Wishing Alps biome home.

How to approach a Goose in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To approach a Goose, simply walk up to them, wait for them to curl up, stand completely still near them, and wait for them to uncurl their neck. Geese are rather shy, so they'll curl their heads inwards when you try to approach them.

Luckily, they get over it fairly fast, making them one of the easier critters to meet, as all you have to do is wait a bit. Their behavior is the same as Sea Turtles and Baby Dragons, so if you've previously encountered these two elsewhere, you'll know exactly what to expect here.

Goose favorite food in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The favorite food of all the Geese you'll encounter in Wishblossom Ranch is Red Currants. They can be found growing on bushes throughout the Wishing Alps area, making them a fairly easy resource to get hold of.

If you can't get your hands on some Red Currants, Geese will accept Blueberries, Gooseberries, Raspberries, and Strawberries, too. They only like these foods rather than love them, though, so it's Red Currants you'll want to feed them most if you're hoping to unlock them as allies.

Geese hangout bonus in Disney Dreamlight Valley

All Geese you hang out with will grant bonuses when picking up Grains. This makes them excellent allies for gardening specific crops like Wheat and Rice, but not all that useful otherwise.

Geese schedule and location in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Here are all five of the Geese you can meet around Wishing Alps, the specific location to visit for each one, and what times and days you can expect to encounter them.

Goose Location Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Black Goose Silver Summit 5am to 11am 5am to 11am 5am to 11am 5am to 11am 5am to 11am 5am to 11am 5am to 11am
Blue Goose Wishing Way 6pm to 8pm 6pm to 8pm 6pm to 8pm 6pm to 8pm 6pm to 8pm 6pm to 8pm 6pm to 8pm
Golden Goose Delver Dale 7am to 8am/7pm to 8pm 7am to 8am/7pm to 8pm 7am to 8am/7pm to 8pm 7am to 8am/7pm to 8pm 7am to 8am/7pm to 8pm 7am to 8am/7pm to 8pm 7am to 8am/7pm to 8pm
Goose Wishblossom Ranch All day All day TBA All day TBA All day All day
True North Goose Ranch Highlands N/A N/A All day N/A All day N/A N/A

To find all Geese, you'll need to open up all regions in the larger Wishing Alps biome. Most of them are locked behind quests, so work on key main storyline tasks like A Wishful Invitation, Tales of a Broken Heart, Ghost Town, and Wheel Big Trouble to find these critters.

Standing next to Maximus in disney dreamlight valley

You've finally found the Crystal Key Tinker Bell needs to help you explore the Crystal Cavern in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This means it's officially time to venture deeper into the Wishblossom Heart with the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest.

This is the first mission you'll encounter that acts as a trial of sorts, and it's especially tough to navigate through because of this. If you're having trouble working through this one, here's a complete walkthrough for the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest, you need to navigate through the first Crystal Cavern in the Wishblossom Heart. It's essentially one big trial packed with puzzles and obstacles to work through, which makes this mission one of the trickiest to tackle. Here's a full breakdown to help you get through it.

Bring the Crystal Key to Tinker Bell

Your first mission is to meet up with Tinker Bell back in the Wishblossom Heart cave so you can give her the Crystal Key. This is the same cave you previously explored during the Tales of a Broken Heart quest, but it's been a while since you went there, so you may have forgotten how to find it.

The cave where Tinker Bell is waiting is located right between the bridges leading from Wishblossom Ranch to Wishing Way. Right in the middle, there's a rocky archway you can walk under and a secret path you can follow to access the cave. Walk over to the middle of the cave to find and chat with Tinker Bell.

Enter the first Crystal Cavern in the Wishblossom Heart

After talking with Tinker Bell, follow her around the right side of the Wishblossom Heart, then chat with her again near the entrance to the Crystal Cavern. As soon as you finish talking to her, a staircase leading into the Crystal Cavern will appear, so head inside to get the real mission started.

Use the weight of your horse and large objects to activate the pressure plates on the ground

The first room in the Crystal Cavern has a puzzle for you to solve. This one requires you to use the weight of your horse and large objects to activate the pressure plates on the ground, unlocking the door to proceed.

To start, head over to the massive stone block near the right end of the room. While riding your horse, walk into it twice, pushing it all the way forward so it's sitting on top of the pressure plate. Doing so opens the door halfway, which isn't quite enough for you to get through just yet.

Trot over to the pressure plate near the left end of the room and stand on it while riding your horse to unlock the door. Then, head through it to venture deeper into the mysterious Crystal Cavern.

Stick to the path and keep heading forward. Along the way, you'll encounter a few obstacles you need to jump over, so remember to speed up when you find them so your horse can glide right over them with ease. At the end of the path, you'll come across an elevator. Interact with the switch on the left side of it to activate it. Continue down the new path you discover at the bottom until you reach the heart of the cave.

Help the Wishblossom of Hope

In the heart of this Crystal Cavern is the Wishblossom of Hope, but unfortunately, it's quite weak and needs your help. You can help stop it from decaying by removing the crystals on its roots, which can be found:

  • In the blue area, by its right root.
  • In the green area behind it,
  • In the pink area to its left.

Remove the crystal in the blue area by its right root

Pushing stone block in disney dreamlight valley
Screenshot by Destructoid

Start by heading around to the right side of the Wishblossom of Hope, where there's blue light on the ceiling. Turn right to enter a small cavern with another pressure plate puzzle you need to solve. As soon as you enter, look right again to find a small hidden staircase. Walk up the staircase and follow the path until you find a massive stone you can push using your horse.

Push the stone forward three times, then head around to the side of it that's closest to the cavern entrance. From this new angle, push it forward twice to get it situated on top of the pressure plate. Then, walk over to the other plate near the left end of the room to open the door. Head through the doorway to find the first crystal you can interact with and destroy.

Remove the crystal in the green area behind it

Walk around to the backside of the Wishblossom of Hope to enter the green area. Interact with the elevator switch on your left to activate it, then follow the pathway until you reach a dead end. At the end of this path, you'll find another crystal you can break.

Remove the crystal in the pink area to its left

The last region you need to explore is the pink area, found around the left side of the Wishblossom. As soon as you enter the pink cave, turn left and trot over to the elevator. Interact with the switch to head down.

At the bottom, you'll find another massive stone that needs to be moved. While riding your horse, walk at it to push it forward three times. Then, loop around the left side of it to push it two more times from a different angle. Once the stone is in place, head back to the elevator to return to the main level.

Follow the path deeper into the pink cave, then make a right just before you reach the half-open door. Continue down the path until you find a bridge. Interact with the lever to lower it, then cross over to access a new area. On the other side, you'll find a pressure plate you can stand on to open the previously blocked door.

With both pressure plates now activated, head back across the bridge and walk forward to find the newly opened doorway in the middle of the cave. Interact with the red crystal on the other side to break the final one.

Talk to the Wishblossom of Hope

Now that all three crystals are destroyed, return to the main cavern to check on the Wishblossom of Hope. Chat with the Wishblossom about what's happened and to learn more about what's gone wrong in Wishblossom Ranch.

Ride Maximus

Reviving the Wishblossom frees none other than the trusty steed Maximus from Tangled. He's the first iconic Disney horse you've found in your journey, and he's ready to help you out. Approach Maximus and mount him to progress to the next step.

Reach the crystal archway behind the Wishblossom of Hope

Head around to the backside of the Wishblossom of Hope while riding Maximus. Locate the orange part of the room, then start galloping towards the pool in it to jump right over it using Maximus's special super jump ability.

Follow the pathway forward, jumping across all gaps you encounter, to exit the cavern. As soon as you do, you'll return to the main cave area where Tinker Bell is waiting. Talk to her about what happened, and the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest will officially be complete. Next, it's time to work on The Decay of Fashion mission.

Standing in front of goofy's caravan in disney dreamlight valley

Goofy might know where to find the Crystal Key you need, but unfortunately, his broken-down caravan is blocking the way forward in Disney Dreamlight Valley. To forge a path forward, you need to tackle the Wheel Big Trouble quest.

This is one of the tougher missions you'll encounter early on in Wishblossom Ranch, as it's got quite a few different tricky parts to it. Here's a complete walkthrough for the Wheel Big Trouble quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete Wheel Big Trouble in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Wheel Big Trouble quest for Goofy, you need to find his missing caravan wheels, help fix the caravan up so you can unlock a new area, and recover the Crystal Key. This is a bit of an odd quest, as it requires you to complete two separate missions in addition to the main mission objectives. Luckily, both of these quests are pretty small.

To fully finish Wheel Big Trouble, you need to:

  • Complete the Equine Delicacies quest with Remy to get a wheel.
  • Complete the Water Tower of Terror quest with Scrooge McDuck to get a wheel.
  • Fish in the waters south of Wishing Way to Goofy's lost wheel.
  • Dig out the wheel that Goofy lost near the entrance to Delver Dale.
  • Bring the wheels back to Goofy.
  • Search the Highlands for the cave.
  • Find a way to reach the Crystal Key.

Equine Delicacies quest walkthrough in Disney Dreamlight Valley

First up, you need to tackle Remy's Equine Delicacies mission, which tasks you with growing some crops, feeding your horse, and opening a Wishblossom Ranch branch of Chez Remy. It's a fairly short and sweet mini mission, so here's how to get it done.

  • Meet up with Remy and give him Goofy's Bag of Random Seeds. You can find him in the middle of the Wishing Way area, close to the bridge you crossed with Scrooge McDuck during the Ghost Town quest.
  • Plant and harvest the mystery seeds. Use your Royal Shovel to dig 10 holes anywhere you like, water them with your Royal Watering Can, then wait 10 minutes. Once they're grown, pick all 10 crops, then return to Remy to hand them over.

  • Feed your horse one of its favorite items of the day. For me, the dish Remy cooked up was a favorite, so I fed my horse the dish he made using the crops I grew. If your friend has different preferences, though, you may need to hunt around the ranch for something different.
  • Open the Wishblossom Ranch branch of Chez Remy. Interact with the sign in front of it to open this dining establishment, then chat with Remy.
  • Craft a wheel for Goofy's caravan. Remy gave you a Stainless Steel Pot Lid to use, so it's time to get crafting. Place a crafting station down or visit one close to your house near the caravan. Switch to the Functional Items category to make Goofy's Repaired Caravan Wheel. As soon as you do, this quest will be complete.

Water Tower of Terror quest walkthrough in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Next up is Scrooge McDuck's Water Tower of Terror quest, which tasks you with helping him open a Wishblossom Ranch branch for his store. To do so, your main goal is to fix the watering well, as water ruin has overtaken the building.

  • Follow Scrooge McDuck to the water tower. After chatting with him to start the mission, head over to the east end of the biome, close to Goofy's caravan, to look at the broken water tower. Chat with Scrooge McDuck about what to do next.
  • Gather everything you need to repair the watering tower in Wishing Alps. It's time for a material scavenger hunt to repair the watering tower Blueprint. To fix up this item, you need:

    • Five Pixie Dust – Obtained by galloping over Dead Wishblossoms like you did during the Tales of a Broken Heart quest. It can also be obtained when mining rock spots.
    • Five Reclaimed Barn Wood – Found on the ground near trees all throughout the Wishing Alps biome. This includes the Wishblossom Ranch, Ranch Highlands, Silver Summit, Delver Dale, and Wishing Way areas.
    • Five Silver Ore – Obtained by mining rock spots around the edges of the Wishing Alps biome.
    • Five Pebbles – Can be dug up anywhere around the Wishing Alps biome when using your Royal Shovel.
    • Three Old Braided Rope – Fish in open water anywhere outside around Wishing Alps using your Royal Fishing Rod to have a chance of finding Old Braided Rope.

  • Complete the water tower's blueprint. With all of the required resources gathered, return to the Blueprint for the water tower. Interact with it to transfer the items you collected and repair it.
  • Return to Scrooge McDuck. Find Scrooge McDuck to share the good news that the water tower is now fixed.
  • Use the sign near Scrooge McDuck's store. Head over to his shop in the middle of the Wishing Way area and interact with it to officially open the store. Then, chat with him one last time to complete the Water Tower of Terror quest.

Fish in the waters south of Wishing Way to Goofy's lost wheel in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The third wheel can be found in the waters south of Wishing Way. Locate the area where Scrooge McDuck's shop at Remy's restaurant is placed, then head down the ramp directly south. Near the bottom of the Wishing Way area, you'll find a small coastal region with access to fishable water.

Equip your Royal Fishing Rod and look around for gold bubble spots. Fish out of all the gold spots that appear along the coast until you manage to catch the Goofy's Caravan Wheel item.

Dig out the wheel that Goofy lost near the entrance to Delver Dale in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The final wheel you need is buried in a digging spot close to the entrance to the Delver Dale area. The entrance area into Delver Dale is located near the southwestern end of the map, somewhat close to the coastal area you previously visited to fish up the last wheel.

Follow the rocky wall near the west end of Wishing Way down to the Delver Dale area. Stop and look right just before you reach the entrance area to find a digging spot with a wheel sticking up out of it. Equip your Royal Shovel and use it to dig up the wheel.

Bring the wheels back to Goofy

With all four wheels now obtained, head back to Goofy by his caravan near the northeast end of Wishing Way. Chat with him to pass them over, then follow the newly unblocked trail to access the Ranch Highlands area.

Search the Highlands for the cave

Now that you've unlocked the Ranch Highlands area, you need to search around it to find the cave Goofy mentioned seeing. Stick close to the wall on your right and keep going forward until you spot a small opening in the rocky wall. Head inside to unlock the next step.

Find a way to reach the Crystal Key

The Crystal Key you previously discovered you needed during the Tales of a Broken Heart quest is waiting for you inside the cave, so your goal is to find a way to reach it. It's up high on the wall, so you can't grab it when standing on the ground. Instead, you'll need to call upon your loyal steed for help.

Mount your horse, approach the wall where the Crystal Key is located, and interact with it to grab this item. As soon as you do, the Wheel Big Trouble mission will be complete, and you can then get going on the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest to return the key to Tinker Bell.

Riding a blue horse on a bridge in disney dreamlight valley

Wishblossom Ranch is in dire trouble, but luckily, you don't have to face this crisis alone in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Scrooge McDuck and some other valley villagers have arrived to help you out in the Ghost Town quest.

Most of the Wishblossom Ranch world is inaccessible to you when you first arrive, but this mission helps you access much more of it. Here's a complete walkthrough for the Ghost Town quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete Ghost Town in Disney Dreamlight Valley

pushing boulder with horse in disney dreamlight valley
Screenshot by Destructoid

To complete the Ghost Town quest, you need to get to know your horse better and lower the drawbridge to unlock new areas around Wishblossom Ranch. It's a bit of a shorter quest, but it can still be a bit tough to work through since it involves some new mechanics, so here's a full walkthrough for it.

Talk to Scrooge McDuck

Scrooge McDuck has arrived to help you out, so start by chatting with him to see what's needed. He wants to get his shop set up for you in Wishblossom Ranch, as do some of the other villagers, but he needs your help to do so. To start, follow him over to the blocked bridge near the very eastern end of the Wishblossom Ranch area on your map, then chat with him again about what to do next.

Grow your bond with your horse

Your trusty steed can help you move the boulder that's got the bridge stuck in a raised position, but you'll first need to grow your bond with your horse to unlock this new ability. Scrooge McDuck suggests you start by petting them, so approach your horse and select the button that appears next to the word "Pet."

petting horse in disney dreamlight valley
Screenshot by Destructoid

You should reach level two friendship with your horse upon petting them as long as you've been traveling with them through most of the quests before this one. If you don't get a pop-up letting you know you've leveled up with your horse, you'll have to do a bit more before you can progress. There are many different ways to build your bond, including petting your horse, brushing them, riding them, jumping with them, and feeding them, so just keep tackling these tasks until you do.

Move the boulder to lower the drawbridge

With a stronger bond, your horse can now push the large boulder out of the way. Approach the rock with a horseshoe symbol on it near the left side of the drawbridge by Scrooge McDuck. Walk straight at it while riding your horse, just like you did with the flower barrels in the A Wishful Invitation quest and the Tales of a Broken Heart quest.

Push it forward three times to lower the bridge, then follow Scrooge McDuck across it. Once you're on the other side, interact with him to chat about what needs to get done next. Goofy and Remy will then arrive, and Goofy may have seen the Crystal Key you're searching for. You might not have what you need just yet, but the Ghost Town quest is now complete. Follow Goofy to start the next mission, which is Wheel Big Trouble.

Riding horse next to snow white and walking up to massive golden glowing flower in disney dreamlight valley

Cruella De Vil has caused Wishblossom Ranch to fall into a state of ruin, and it's up to you to restore it to its former glory in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of the first steps you take in this journey is the Tales of a Broken Heart quest.

This is your second mission around the ranch, and it's a crucial one for progressing the main storyline. To ensure you're able to get this one done, here's a complete walkthrough for the Tales of a Broken Heart quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete Tales of a Broken Heart in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Riding a blue horse by some glowing red crystals in disney dreamlight valley
Screenshot by Destructoid

To complete the Tales of a Broken Heart quest, you need to venture into the Wishblossom's Heart, stop it from decaying, help Tinker Bell, figure out how to stop Wishblossom Ranch from collapsing, and get Snow White set up with a home. There's quite a lot to get done, so here's a full breakdown of how to tackle all parts of this quest.

Follow Snow White to the Wishblossom's Heart entrance

To start, follow Snow White over to the entrance to the Wishblossom's Heart. If you lose sight of her, you can track down the right spot by heading over to the very eastern end of the Wishblossom Ranch area, close to the Wishing Alps text on the map.

You're looking for a rocky archway with some glowing red crystals blocking the path forward. Once you find the right spot, chat with Snow White about how to get rid of them and what to do next.

Remove the strange red crystals

You can't break these mysterious crystals on your own, so mount your horse for some assistance. Approach the crystals while riding and select the button that appears next to the word "Destroy" once you're close to them.

Once you've cleared the way, proceed forward. Follow the path until you reach the giant glowing Wishblossom. A short cutscene will then play as the strange flower talks to you, warning of impending danger.

Use your horse to remove three strange red crystals

The massive Wishblossom is weak and dying, but manages to tell you that destroying the strange red crystals will help. Now, you need to use your horse to destroy three strange red crystals around the area. The crystals can be found:

  • At the end of its leftmost root, atop the rock spire. From where you stopped to chat with the Wishbloosom, head slightly left and make a sharp left almost immediately to find a slightly hidden staircase leading upwards. Trot up to the top to find a crystal you can break.
  • At the end of its rightmost root, inside the cave. From the spot where you talked to the Wishblossom, head right, hugging close to the edge of the walkable area. Turn right into a cave when you can, and approach the red crystal inside to break it.
  • At the end of its rearmost root, atop the overlooking ledge. Trot around to the backside of the massive Wishblossom, then look for a small, slightly obscured pathway blocked by a large glowing root. Start galloping and run straight for it to leap over. Follow the pathway all the way forward until you find a red crystal to destroy.

With all three strange red crystals now broken, return to the Wishblossom to see if you managed to help. A short cutscene will then play as the Wishblossom blooms, now healthy again, and Tinker Bell emerges from within.

Luckily, your special Dreamlight Magic allows you to understand her just like Peter Pan can, so chat with her to assess the situation. She's in dire need of some Pixie Dust to keep Wishblossom Ranch from collapsing.

Harvest Dead Wishblossoms

To gather some Pixie Dust for Tinker Bell, you need to harvest Dead Wishblossoms. These are the pointy brown and gold bushes you've seen everywhere. They're essentially the Wishblossom Ranch version of Night Thorns. Destroying them grants all kinds of prizes, ranging from crops you can plant to Star Coins you can spend.

You can harvest them by galloping through them while riding your horse. Harvest 10 Dead Wishblossoms to progress. Once you've broken 10 Dead Wishblossoms, return to Tinker Bell in front of the massive Wishblossom flower and chat with her.

galloping over a dead wishblossom in disney dreamlight valley
Screenshot by Destructoid

Follow Tinker Bell over to the right side of the Wishblossom, right between the two caves you previously entered, to break the strange red crystals. Once you're there, chat with her.

You need a special key to proceed forward and help save the ranch, but you don't have it quite yet, so exit the cave and return to Wishblossom Ranch to proceed. Head all the way back over to the stables to chat with Snow White there.

Brush your horse

Your loyal steed has been working quite hard to help you on your adventure so far, so it's time to take a breather and learn how to brush your horse. Dismount them and walk up to them. An array of interactive options will appear, but you only need to select the button that appears next to the word "Brush" to progress.

After you're done brushing your horse, the snowstorm plaguing the area will clear up a bit. Some characters from the valley, like Scrooge McDuck and Mickey Mouse, will arrive, too. Chat with Snow White about this development, and she'll mention that her cottage is ruined.

Place Snow White's house

Locate Scrooge McDuck in Wishblossom Ranch to chat about Snow White's broken house, then open Furniture Mode to find a spot to place it. You can't access this mode while riding your horse, so you'll have to dismount if you are. Place Snow White's home somewhere around the ranch area, then interact with the sign in front of it to spend 2,500 Star Coins and build it.

As soon as you place her home, Snow White will join the valley as an official villager, so you've now got one of the four characters you can befriend in this region unlocked. Then, chat with her one last time to officially complete the Tales of a Broken Heart quest.

There are four friends you'll encounter while exploring Wishblossom Ranch in Disney Dreamlight Valley, and all of them can be unlocked as villagers. One of these characters is Snow White, and she's the first one you'll meet.

Although you meet Snow White as soon as you arrive on the ranch, it takes quite a bit more effort to actually get her as a villager. If you're eager to get this iconic Disney princess in your valley, here's how to unlock Snow White in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to get Snow White in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Snow White is unlocked by completing the Tales of a Broken Heart quest. There are five total tasks you need to get done to access this quest and get her set up in the valley, though, including:

Unlock the Wishblossom Ranch DLC

Snow White is a DLC exclusive character, which means you must have the Wishblossom Ranch expansion installed to find her. The base version of this DLC can be purchased for $29.99, but there are also other versions of it, like the Deluxe Edition, which comes with a Sven mount, that cost a bit more. Any edition that includes Wishblossom Ranch works for recruiting Snow White.

Travel to Wishblossom Ranch

Your next mission is to travel to Wishblossom Ranch to find Snow White. This special world can be accessed via the Stardust Port. You can find the port on the third floor of the Dream Castle. It's a massive gate on the left wall, close to the Monsters, Inc. Realm entrance.

Complete the A Wishful Invitation quest

Once you've met Snow White, you need to work through the A Wishful Invitation quest. This mission tasks you with acquiring your first horse, learning how mount mechanics work, and helping Snow White figure out what's gone wrong around Wishblossom Ranch. It's mostly an introductory mission, but it does have some tricky parts to tackle.

Complete the Tales of a Broken Heart quest

After the A Wishful Invitation quest comes Tales of a Broken Heart, which is where you can actually unlock Snow White. In this one, you need to visit the Wishblossom's Heart, help stop the decay by destroying strange red crystals, harvest Dead Wishblossoms, and meet Tinker Bell. The toughest part of this task is tracking down the red crystals attached to the giant Wishblossom, as the cavern with the Wishblossom's Heart is a bit of a maze.

Build Snow White's house

Snow White's house is quite cheap to build, and will only set you back 2,500 Star Coins. Building it is the last step in the Tales of a Broken Heart quest, so you'll naturally work through this objective while tackling it. As soon as her home is built, she'll officially unlock as a villager you can befriend.

All Snow White friendship rewards in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Snow White has nine friendship rewards you can unlock as you build your relationship with her. One of her special rewards is a new hairstyle, which we don't get very often, so she's certainly worth befriending. Once you get her to level two, you can also hang out with her, which makes building the friendship a lot easier.

Level Reward
2 Clock furniture item
3 Motif
4 500 Star Coins
5 Snow White hair clothing item
6 Motif
7 1,000 Star Coins
8 Couch furniture item
9 Motif
10 Full body outfit clothing item

Golden outline of horse appearing by player in disney dreamlight valley

All aboard the train to Wishblossom Ranch, as an exciting new region is now available to explore in Disney Dreamlight Valley. To kick off your adventure, you need to navigate through the A Wishful Invitation quest.

Like all missions, this one comes with an array of tricky tasks to work through. If any part has you stumped, here's a complete walkthrough for the A Wishful Invitation quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete A Wishful Invitation in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the A Wishful Invitation quest, you need to travel to Wishblossom Ranch, meet Snow White, unlock a horse, and begin unraveling the mystery surrounding this new region. There are some tricky new mechanics to get used to in this quest, and plenty of new areas to explore, so here's a full breakdown of how to finish it.

Open your mailbox

You've won an exclusive, unlimited, free stay at a far-off land called Wishblossom Ranch. To claim your vacation voucher, visit any mailbox in front of one of your houses in the valley. Locate and open the "Free Vacation to Wishblossom Ranch!" letter to progress.

Head to the Startdust Port

Proceed to the Dream Castle and walk up to the gate on the left end of the third floor, close to the entrance to the Monsters, Inc. Realm. Head through this gate to access the Stardust Port, a special area that allows you to travel to DLC worlds like The Storybook Vale, Eternity Isle, and now, Wishblossom Ranch. Look right to spot a magical train, then head over and interact with it to set off to Wishblossom Ranch.

Look for someone to redeem the Wishblossom Ranch voucher

This doesn't look like the vacation you were promised, but there's not much you can do about that now, so work on finding someone to give your voucher to so you can learn more. From the train station, head directly north until you spot Snow White standing close to a bridge. Chat with her to learn what's going on.

Search the area for something to help you get past the swarm of bees

There's a pesky swarm of bees blocking the way forward, so you need to hunt around for something you can use to bypass them. From where Snow White is standing, head right, then proceed up the nearby ramp. At the top, you'll find a cave entrance. Head inside to investigate the strange flower in the center of it.

The strange flower actually talks, and upon interacting with it, you'll be tasked with saving Wishblossom Ranch. A strange, magical surge then occurs, and from it, your very own horse mount appears. Next, you need to work on customizing your first-ever horse. You'll unlock more customizable horses later, and you can always edit this one again, so you don't need to worry too much about the options you choose here.

Ride your horse

With your new friend now customized, approach the horse and search for the Ride option. A few different interactions pop up when you're close to this animal, but right now, your focus is riding them back down to where Snow White is.

Exploring the surroundings and take your horse for a ride

Your next mission is to familiarize yourself with riding a horse, since this system is completely new. To do so, you have two smaller missions to work through before you can progress.

  • Gallop around for a total distance of 150. While riding your horse friend, hold down the same button you use to glide to gallop. For me, this button is Shift, but it may be something different depending on your platform. The active quest menu tells you which button to press here so you can check if you're unsure.
  • Approach obstacles while galloping to jump over them. Head down the ramp back towards Snow White, and at the bottom, gallop over the hay bale sitting there three times. You must be galloping, not just trotting along, to make this jump. Your horse will naturally hop right over any obstacle as long as you're galloping when you reach it.

When you're done, chat with Snow White about what to do next. She thinks your horse might be able to help get rid of the bees by helping to distract them with something they like.

Use your horses push ability to move the flower cart closer to the bees

There's a flower cart nearby, but it's far too heavy for you to move on your own. Luckily, your trusty new steed is a lot stronger, so approach the cart and walk forward while facing it on your horse to activate the push ability. Push the cart forward three times to get it close to the bees. As soon as you do, the path forward will be cleared.

Search around the wishing well for clues about the ranch's ruin

Once you're on the other side of the bridge, follow Snow White left toward the wishing well in the Wishblossom Ranch area. Look down at the ground on the left side of the well to find a note. Interact with it to reveal a Memory Shard, then open it up. Talk to Snow White about what the memory revealed.

Search around the ranch's ruins near Snow White for clues about what happened

Follow Snow White over to a gate back by the bridge you crossed over on. Then, back up a bit and start galloping to gain enough speed to leap over the fence right next to her. On the other side, head straight back to the water behind the small, broken house. Look down to find another note you can interact with to unlock a new Memory Shard.

Gallop back over the fence and interact with Snow White to share the new information you uncovered. Then, follow her over to the next area to uncover more of the mystery.

Search around the ranch's ruined stable near Snow White for clues about the ranch's ruin

Riding horse by sparkling feather in disney dreamlight valley

Head over to the stable area, which is directly north of the bridge you previously crossed with Snow White. Trot over to the right side of it to spot a beehive surrounded by buzzing bees and a new flower cart you can interact with. Approach the cart on your horse, just like you did before crossing the bridge, and push it all the way forward.

Once the bees fly out of the way, approach their beehive and look down to find another interactive note. Then, jump over the fence right behind it. Trot forward slightly, to the middle of the area, to spot a sparkling feather. Interact with it to pick it up, then return to Snow White at the front of the stable to share what you uncovered.

Use the sign beside the stable to upgrade it and open a new stall

Cruella's clearly got some big and dangerous schemes in mind, but for now, you and Snow White shift your priorities to taking care of your horse friend. Approach the blue sign with a horseshoe on it, which is right behind Snow White, to upgrade the stable. Then, chat with Snow White one last time to complete the A Wishful Invitation quest.

complete rogue piece tier list of everything in the game

Updated on November 19, 2025: Updated all the tier lists for swords, combat specs, fruits, races and traits according to the recent QoL patch.

I'm ranking all Swords, Combat Specs, Fruits, Races and Traits in Rogue Piece so that you can make the best build. This tier list will also include equipment tips for all categories as well as how to get everything. Here's my ultimate early-mid-late PVP/PVE Rogue Piece tier list for everything in the game.

Rogue Piece Combat Spec and Fruit Tier List

rogue piece combat spec and fruit tier list
Image by Destructoid

Both Combat Specs and Fruits scale with the Power stat in Rogue Piece (RIP Strength stat). On average, Combat Specs tend to be stronger than swords on average even though SJW Daggers/Yuta compare decently well. Fruits tend to be weaker than swords with Light (the strongest fruit) being comparable to A-Tier swords (See above). Let's analyze them individually.

Spec & Fruit Tip: These go best with the Aizen's Outfit/Akaza Beads/Garou's Outfit and Demon race for the most Power damage possible. Also get the Soul Spirit Relic for more Power damage which is a rare drop from Chests.

S-Tier Specs & Fruits

S-Tier Why S-Tier? Location

Garou
• Fast M1s and a ton of multi-hit attacks for high PVP and PVE DPS
• There's also great utility here with X i-Frames and two cutscenes with C and V for dodging damage
• C and V deal some of the highest damage in the entire game and this gets boosted even further once you get the Garou Outfit and Soul Spirit Relic
• Easily outdamages Aizen and Sukuna
Glacier Isle
Get Suiryu from the Garou NPC
+Complete quest
Defeat 25 Diamond Rank Players
Punch 2500 times with Suiryu
Then farm Silver Fang Boss on GI for Book of Mastery
Finally use Book of Mastery after Quest with Suiryu equipped

Gojo
• Gojo doesn't have as much DPS as Garou but it has a lot of stuns and iFrames thanks to the domain expansion on V
• It's one of the best PVP specs in the game and excellent for completing the Garou quest
• That said it's also good by itself for PVP/PVE
Jujutsu Highschool
Get from Gojo NPC with materials from the Gojo Boss
You also need The Honored One trait

Aizen
•Aizen overall does more burst damage with his moves than Sukuna but the CDs are longer
• Still it's some of the highest damage in the game so you'll have no trouble with bosses, PVE farming and PVP
• Your range is lower than Sukuna but you have a mobility teleport multi-hit move
• Plus, the black coffin is massive AOE damage
• IMO Gojo is better due to iFrames and Stuns and Garou deals more damage so it goes Garou>Gojo>Aizen
Huecomundo
Aizen Teacher

A-Tier Specs & Fruits

A-Tier Why A-Tier? Location

Sukuna
• Sukuna has lower burst damage than the ones above but it has better combos
• The light combos with Sukuna are some of the best in the game since the M1 is so good and has range
• Plus you get good range on all of your abilities, they're fast and have lower CD than Aizen
• You have amazing AOE and damage for PVE farming and the moves can be pretty good in PVP too
• You also get a nice damage boost
Windmill Village
Sukuna Teacher
On a hill

Akaza
• Akaza has some of the best M1s in terms of combat specs and overall his moves deal really good damage
• Plus they are all low cooldown so the DPS stacks up quite fast
• That said the range is low so you'll struggle a bit in PVP if you don't have good movement or you get kited
• That's why I prefer Aizen or Sukuna but don't get me wrong, Akaza is still the top 3 DPS option in the game
Throne Isle
Akaza Teacher

B-Tier Specs & Fruits

B-Tier Why B-Tier? Location

Light
• The best Fruit/Power in the game both in terms of DPS and mobility (The combat specs and most swords are still better)
• You get really good AOE DPS moves to complement Combat Specs
• You also have the best mobility move in the entire game with F allowing you to both move fast and reposition in PVP
• It's got worse DPS than Combat Specs and Swords but it's still a good backup to have when your Spec skills are on CD
Rogue Town
Fruit Gacha NPC
2% chance to drop

C-Tier Specs & Fruits

C-Tier Why C-Tier? Location

Blood
Power
Scales With Power
• Light is better but Blood is still a great alternative for PVE farming
• It's better than Gravity in terms of DPS for bosses even though Gravity has better range and AOE
• You also get a movement skill similar to Light with F but slower
Rogue Town
Fruit Gacha NPC
5% chance to drop

Sandevistan
• The Sandevistan is by far the worst combat spec but when compared to other Powers/Swords it's similar to Tanjiro's Sword
• You get more moves than Swords but they are all a bit slow and deal low DPS
• This can be good mid game for farming but I would overall just farm towards any of the other Combat Specs
• For example, the speed boost is cool but Akaza gets almost 3 times better speed on the final move and much higher DPS
• Sandevistan needs a buff badly
Rogue Town
David NPC
He's at the back of the island on a hill next to the water

Gravity
• Overall Gravity does have good AOE and range but the DPS is simply worse than Blood and Light
• So there's not much point using it other than early game farming if you get lucky and get it
Rogue Town
Fruit Gacha NPC
5% chance to drop

D-Tier Specs & Fruits

D-Tier Why D-Tier? Location

Quake
• Quake is better than Bomb but it's still not the best since your moves are slow and don't deal that much damage
• The only good thing is C which is a massive AOE for PVE farming but only for mobs and not bosses and it's on an incredibly high CD
• Just use Blood or Light
Rogue Town
Fruit Gacha NPC
30% chance to drop

Bomb
• Never use this
• Just use Swords to farm either better Fruits or Combat Specs if you want to build Power and then respec

Rogue Piece Sword Tier List

rogue piece sword tier list
Image by Destructoid

The best sword in Rogue Piece depends on if you're looking for fast AFK/PVE grinding, high boss damage or PVP. The S-Tier covers all of these needs while the A-Tier are weaker alternatives. The B-Tier is mostly for PVE grinding and nothing else with Zangetsu having more DPS while the others have faster movesets/are better for farming. The C and D-Tiers are either underpowered options or good starters for PVE farming. Let's analyze them individually below.

Swords Tip: Swords go best with Reaper Clothes/Yuta's Outfit/Vampire Suit and Arrancar race for max Sword stat boost. Also get the Broken Edge Relic for more Sword damage as a rare drop from chests.

S-Tier Swords

S-Tier Why S-Tier? Location

Dual Daggers
• Easily the best Sword in the entire game with DPS that can compete with Combat Specs which are usually the highest DPS in the game
• SJW Daggers give you a lot of flexibility since you have high damage, high DPS, good M1s but also good mobility
• X is such a great move for PVP to get better mobility and is also decent for PVE
• You can easily solo bosses with these just make sure you have the recommended loadout below
Rogue Town
Dual Dagger Seller

Yuta's Katana
• Requires a lot of grinding due to the low chance Rika's Ring drop from the Yuta boss but it's incredibly worth since this is the top 2 Sword in the game
• The M1s are fast and the C and V cutscene moves deal massive damage if you can land them
• Z and X are fast for mix ups so overall you have both a really good PVP and also a great PVE option with high damage
Jujutsu Highschool
Get Spiritual Katana from Yuta
Then grind Yuta Boss until you get the Rika's Ring 1%
+Complete Yuta's quest (Defeat 100 Bosses using SK)
Then use it while having Spiritual Katana

Tensa Zangetsu
• Zangetsu has finally been buffed with a V2 version
• Not the best M1s in the game but the skill damage is massive
• Z and X are really fast and easy to hit and good for PVP
• C and V deal massive damage similar to Yuta's Katana so they're amazing for PVE and PVP if you can land htem
Huecomundo
From Tensa Zangetsu Seller
Pay all the requirements including Zangetsu base
+ Defeat the Zangetsu Boss (You must be the one to spawn him)

A-Tier Swords

A-Tier Why A-Tier? Location

Metal Bat
• Got a buff but still can't compare to the S-Tiers due to slower M1s and lower DPS
• That said the DPS is still A-Tier respectable from V and C mainly
• Z and X are good for mob farming while V and C are good for bosses
• You can PVP with this weapon but only via skill moves since the M1s aren't the best
Rogue Town
Fruit Gacha NPC
50% chance to drop

Hellsing Dual Pistol
• The Pistols got power-crept by all the V2 swords and some of the newer weapons but they're still really good
• They're a PVE powerhouse since all the moves deal great damage to bosses
• I probably wouldn't use them as much in PVE since most moves have a slow frontal start-up but you'll melt bosses
Spooky Island

B-Tier Swords

B-Tier Why B-Tier? Location

Zangetsu
• Great AOE damage and range for PVE farming and great for bosses
• The moves are a bit slow for PVP though
• That said it's got the most damage per move rotation
Rogue Town
Zangetsu Gacha NPC

Gryphon
• Only two moves but they're really fast
• Z can deal a fast burst of 10k damage with good Sword Stats and deals more damage than Dark Blade/Yoru Z
• X has longer iFrames than Dark Blade X
• Great for PVP due to speed and also early-mid-late game farming
Whispering Jungle
Just walk straight ahead from the mob Quest NPC

Dark Blade
• I'm comparing it to Gryphon and it deals lower damage than G's Z but higher damage with X though the iFrames are shorter
• The iFrames are really good to exploit in PVP but overall Dark Blade is just a little bit worse end-game than Gryphon so I put it in B
• Dark Blade is still the best weapon to rush early to mid game for farming but Zangetsu and SJW Daggers are better for end-game bosses
Glacier Ice
On the little ice hill next to Mihawk's Quest NPC

Wado
• A great alternative to Gryphon and Dark Blade for PVE farming but has slow M1s
• The moves come out fast and deal about the same DPS but you're not locked in place with the X move so it's slightly better for PVP
Jujutsu Highschool
Purchase For $1,000,000 at the Wado Seller

C-Tier Swords

C-Tier Why C-Tier? Location

Spiritual Katana
• In general it's weaker than the above options for PVE and PVP
• That said, even for a Common the Spiritual Katana is really good for PVE grinding
• And you should definitely get it because it's a prerequisite for the S-Tier Sword Yuta's Katana
Jujutsu Highschool
Get from the Yuta NPC

Tanjiro's Nichirin
• Tanjiro's sword has more moves than Dark Blade and Gryphon but they are slower and more awkward to land
• Still if you manage to pull out the entire rotation including the cutscene you are dealing more DPS
• But in practice Dark Blade and Gryphon are better because they are faster, especially in PVP
• So overall Tanjiro can sometimes be better for bosses but I wouldn't really get it since Dark Blade/Gryph are better mid-game and Tensa Zangetsu/Yuta/SJW are better late-game
Forge Isle
Tanjiro's Seller

D-Tier Swords

D-Tier Why D-Tier? Location

Dual Katana
Sword
Scales With Sword
• The best early game farming tool for PVE that you should rush ASAP
• Swords are the best farming tools in general and this is the first one you should get after Katana
• It's really easy to get if you claim all the codes and farm a little
• That said it gets out-DPS-ed by all swords later on
Sandora Island/Desert Island
Between the houses and the tower near the island's port

Katana
Sword
Scales With Sword
• The first Sword you'll get and what you'll use to farm for Dual Katana
• Everyone should start with a Katana to farm other stuff really fast and then you can respec later if you want to use Power-scaling stuff

Rogue Piece Race Tier List

rogue piece race tier list
Image by Destructoid

The best race in Rogue Piece goes a long way to boost your DPS based on your build. You get them from Race Rerolls and for some like the Demon race you can use specific items like Muzan's Blood. The two races in S-Tier are almost equal depending on whether you're going for a Sword stat build or a Power stat build. A-Tiers are good alternatives to start the game with but late game you should always aim for S-Tiers. B-Tier are situational, C-Tier are underpowered and D are pretty much useless.

How to Get Race Rerolls: You get them from Codes, by opening Chests and from Fishing. You can get a Fishing rod from the NPC at the starting island's docks and just AFK Fish to farm Race Rerolls (See below for recommended early-mid and late-game races).

S-Tier Races

S-Tier Races Why S-Tier Race Stats

Demon
• Demon and Arrancar are about even with Demon being for Power stat builds and Arrancar being for Sword stat builds
• That said Demon has an edge for two reasons
First: Because Combat Specs like Sukuna and Aizen scale with Power and they have the best DPS in the game
Second: If you're a Demon fighting an Arrancar, Arrancar take 25% more damage from your Power stat attacks
• This means that you'll be nuking Arrancar players and overall other races with Demon if you have A Power and Sukuna/Aizen
• So in short, Demon is the best race in the game even with the 2% instant-death chance
• Gains +25% HP
• +25% Power stat damage multiplier
• If your HP is below 25%, you have a 2% chance to instantly die

• You can use the Muzan's Blood item dropped from the Akaza Boss spawned on Throne Isle via the Boss Summoner NPC for a low chance to get this race


Arrancar
• The counterpart of Demon but for Sword builds
• The best part about this race besides the Sword damage boost are the dash iFrames
• You get a 0.3 iFrame per dash which can be really strong to avoid some AOE moves
• That said your downside is really bad against Power attacks
• Still it's the best race in the game for Sword builds
• Flash Step: Your dashes have slight iFrames
• Higher defense
• +25% Sword stat damage multiplier
• You take +25% more damage from Power stat attacks

• You can use the Hogyoku item dropped from the Aizen Boss on Huecomundo for a low chance to get this race

A-Tier Races

A-Tier Races Why A-Tier Race Stats

Celestial Dragon
• Get this race ASAP in the early and mid-game so that you can farm faster towards late game
• Once you have some high-tier gear from the tier list above, you can go for Demon or Arrancar
• This is the best race in the game early to mid/late for farming
• Gains +25% Gems
• Gain +25% EXP
• Gain +25% Money

Cyborg
• An okay race to get since the extra HP is useful but this game favors damage more so this is just an alternative to Demon and Arrancar
• That said if you don't like the debuffs, Cyborg is perfect but know that it is weaker overall
• Scales really well with high Defense
• Gains +50% Health

• You can use the Hardware Chip item dropped from the David Boss spawned on Throne Island via the Boss Summoner NPC for a low chance to get this race


Dracula
• Half of the time it can be really powerful for PVP and somewhat for PVE tanking
• Plus you get a nice little damage boost with the Burn
• That said half of the time (during day) you have no race so it's play around nighttime
• Demon/Arrancar are still better overall
• Gain 20% Lifesteal healing you based on the damage you deal
• Get Burn damage on attacks
• Both of these effects only work at night
• Alucard Blood also has a chance to give you this race which are a drop from the Alucard Boss

B-Tier Races

B-Tier Races Why B-Tier Race Stats

Cursed Spirit
• Besides being a requirement for the Gojo spec this is quite a situational Race
• You have to kill so many bosses to reach the 1.5x damage buff each time you log in or die that it becomes tedious
• Once you have it fully stacked it's pretty good but it's really only viable for PVE boss farming since you're investing so much time killing bosses
• I would just use Demon or Arrancar for the instant damage boost on Swords and Powers
• Get a 0.02x damage boost each time you kill a boss stacking up to 1.5x as the cap
• Reseting your character, leaving the game or dying resets the stacks
• Sukuna's Finger also have chance to give you this race which are a drop from the Sukuna Boss on Throne Isle

C-Tier Races

C-Tier Races Why C-Tier Race Stats

Fishman
• The swimming part is useless since you'll be air-dashing everywhere anyway
• The Defense boost is nice and more useful than all the races below so it's okay if you can't get anything better
• Swims faster and has higher defense

D-Tier Races

D-Tier Races Why D-Tier Race Stats

Mink
• Overall useless but can sometimes work in your favor for PVP dodging
• That said it's not worth it and you should get a higher-tier race
• Runs faster and dashes quicker

Skypiean
• Similar to Mink where it's mostly useless but it can be good in PVP sometimes to dodge attacks or position yourself higher than your opponnet for a move
• That said it's not worth it and you should get a higher-tier race
• Can use air-jump 3 extra times

Human
• No buffs • No buffs

Rogue Piece Trait Tier List

The best traits in Rogue Piece are much easier to determine than Swords or Specs since it's just a simple numbers game. That said damage tends to be the best stat to boost as well as cooldown since most of the game is PVE farming and it's better to kill faster than tank more damage. That's why you'll see that some Traits that boost damage or cooldowns better are placed higher. Here's what each Trait does below.

The Honored One (0.1%) • 30% Decrease in Cooldown
