A Forgotten Name Disney Dreamlight Valley: Detailed Guide
In brief
The "Mysteries of Skull Rock" update introduces the Forgotten One as a permanent villager and unlocks access to Skull Rock Island. Find out how to complete the "A Forgotten Name" quest to recruit this mysterious character and finally explore this location that has been inaccessible since the game's launch.
The recent “Mysteries of Skull Rock” update brings exciting new features to Disney Dreamlight Valley. Indeed, it is now possible to unlock the Forgotten as a permanent villager, but you also need to be able to enter Skull Rock island. Let's see how the update lets you enjoy these additions that greatly enrich the gaming experience.
Properly unlocking the Forgotten as a permanent villager
You can bring the Forgotten into your valley permanently by completing the quest “A Forgotten Name.” Access to this quest tends to be finicky, since it's impossible to fulfill certain conditions to trigger it. So some players will get it immediately, while others will wait between 30 minutes and an hour...
Note
If the quest is slow to appear, don't hesitate to take care of other main quests or the Forgotten's personal quests that you haven't completed yet. Once that's done, the quest "A Forgotten Name" should show up more easily.

During this quest, the Forgotten will hand you a feather before heading together to Skull Rock. In his company, you'll relive old memories of games that took place inside this mysterious island. Moved, the Forgotten confides that he wishes he could have a real name. He then offers you a choice between three names (Onyx, Jet, and Obsidian) or the option of another custom name. From that moment on, the Forgotten will use the name you chose, and will be known by this new name.
After giving him a name, the Forgotten will finally be welcomed into the valley as a full-fledged villager. From now on, you'll be able to build up your friendship level with him, find him a role, spend time with him, and earn friendship rewards from him just like with any other resident of Dreamlight Valley.

Exploring Skull Rock island
As soon as the quest “A Forgotten Name” has been completed, and the Forgotten welcomed as a permanent character, you will automatically start the mission “Shadows on the Wall,” which finally lets you access the inside of Skull Rock island, visible but inaccessible since the game's launch. The Forgotten will reveal to you that Skull Rock is now unlocked, and that you can start exploring it. Indeed, the magical barrier that protected the entrance is now broken.
Skull Rock island is southeast of Enchanted Beach. While it was visible from the very start of the game, it was not yet accessible before the “Mysteries of Skull Rock” update. By starting the quest “Shadows on the Wall” and the ones associated with it, you can of course encounter the mischievous shadow inside and further explore the secrets hidden within this mysterious place.
See you soon in Disney Dreamlight Valley!
