Disney Dreamlight Valley: How To Unlock The Forgotten & Enter Skull Rock Island

How To Trigger Shadows On The Wall Quest In DDV - Disney Dreamlight Valley

Upon completing A Forgotten Name and unlocking The Forgotten as a villager, you will trigger the Shadows on the Wall quest in DDV. This quest will unlock the Skull Rock, where you and The Forgotten will enter to explore inside and witness a Pixie Dust Orb and a mysterious shadow. Head to the upper floor and speak with The Forgotten, who mentions a closed gate and asks for help to open it. On the same floor, approach the edge and dig out a broken lantern, then hand it over to the character in DDV.

After deciding to fix the broken lanterns, Dreamers must collect a couple of materials.

Material

Location

Broken Lanterns x3

As you already have one, fish out the remaining two from the waters near the ship across the Skull Rock entrance.

Gold Ingot x3

Combine Gold Nugget and Coal Ore at a Crafting Table.

Glass x9

Combine Sand and Coal Ore at a Crafting Table.

Vitalys Crystal x9

Mine gems nodes in Vitalys Mines, Sunlit Plateau.

Pixie Dust Orbs x3

Follow the Orbs found in Forgotten Lands, Forest of Valor, and Glade of Trust, and catch the Pixie Dust Orbs in DDV.

Once all materials are gathered in Disney Dreamlight Valley, use a Crafting Table to make three Pixie Dust Lanterns and place them on the Rope Winches. Placing all three lanterns allows players to change the direction of the light to try and find the mysterious shadow.

How To Trap The Shadow In DDV - Disney Dreamlight Valley

After catching a glimpse of the mysterious shadow, Dreamers must shine all three lanterns on the same wall to trap the shadow in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Rotate the left, middle, and right lanterns to shine on the wall in the middle next to some crates and barrels.

Next, speak with the mysterious shadow, who asks players to follow it. However, keep in mind that the shadow can't move on its own, so you need to rotate the lanterns in different directions to help the shadow move. The easiest method is to head to the left lantern and shine it on the wheel next to the closed gate to help the shadow move there.

Jade Skulls Riddle Answers In DDV - Disney Dreamlight Valley

Before attempting to unlock the gate, speak with the Jade Skulls. Dreamers must solve the riddles to proceed forward in DDV, like what's an instrument of wind or what's a creature that's small and bright with magic dust. The answers to the Jade Skulls' riddles are:
