In brief

The Deep Secret Black Goose is an exclusive creature in Disney Dreamlight Valley accessible only during the Memory Mania 2026 event. To unlock it, you must complete four Joy quests spaced 24 hours apart, starting by collecting hidden feathers before meeting the mysterious goose in the Cursed Grotto.

A new unsettling creature is lurking around the village, and by checking off a few key tasks, you can become friends with it in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This is the Deep Secret Dark Goose, whose unlocking is tied to the big Memory Mania event. No other creature in the valley looks like it: here, step by step, is how to get it.

Unlocking the Deep Secret Dark Goose and starting the quest chain

Unlocking it involves a special quest chain given by Joy during the Memory Mania event. This chain was added to the event during its 2026 return: it is therefore brand new for everyone this time around.

To start Joy's questline, you must first have completed all the quests from the 2024 and 2025 editions of Memory Mania. You also need to have unlocked Joy and settled her in your valley: since the whole chain is tied to her, the only way to start it is to talk to her.

The Deep Secret Dark Goose quests

The Deep Secret Dark Goose is the special prize earned at the end of four quests for Joy. A 24-hour delay passes between each one before the next unlocks: so expect roughly four full days to complete everything.

Quest How to complete it
Quest 1 Talk to Joy and open the Memory Orb (to be confirmed) she gives you. Then look for the lost tissue box and interact with it: you'll find a feather there. Bring it back to Joy.
Quest 2 Talk to Joy in Goofy's house and open the Memory Orb. Find the missing shoe (shown in the image) and interact with it to get a new feather. Bring it back to Joy.
Quest 3 Talk to Joy in Mickey's house and open the Memory Orb. Track down the missing photo frame and interact with it to retrieve a feather. Bring it back to Joy.
Quest 4 Talk to Joy and follow the trail of feathers to the Cursed Cave. Listen to Joy talk with the strange Goose lurking inside, then talk to Joy outside to officially unlock the Deep Secret Dark Goose.

Do you think four days of waiting to unlock a creature is too long or justified?
