Disney Dreamlight Valley Mood Swings: Detailed Guide

Assessing the participants' condition

Your first task is to visit the villagers concerned. Meet Donald, Goofy, Merlin, and Vanellope to assess their condition. Each of them is tired and sad without knowing why. This rather puzzling situation calls for your immediate intervention to restore good spirits in the valley.

Intervention at Donald Duck's house

You first choose to help Donald after speaking with Joy and Sadness about your observations. Head to his home where, surprisingly, you'll need to destroy some of his furniture to release his pent-up anger. Three items will be targeted:

• The sofa placed by the front door
• The table placed next to his ensuite
• The bookshelf placed right next to Donald

Unfortunately, this outburst of violence doesn't produce the expected effect. Donald remains gloomy, so you continue thinking about other solutions for the remaining villagers.

Cleaning up Merlin's library

Your next mission takes you to Merlin's place. Upon entering his library, you're greeted by an empire of clutter: spilled potions, cobwebs used as decoration. This time, to help the wizard, you must clean the entire place. The potions are visible at first glance, but one of them is hidden behind books in a corner. As for the cobwebs, you'll find two on the right side of the room and a last one hidden behind Merlin's desk.

Note

Remember to place the potion back on the pile of books near the entrance to complete this task.

Preparing a joyful meal for Vanellope

Although Merlin seems delighted with your help cleaning up, he doesn't feel any better for it. Joy therefore suggests you take care of Vanellope, and preparing a « Joyful Meal » is a possible solution to bring back her taste for sweets. To make this recipe, here is the list of ingredients you'll need:

• Wheat
• Raspberries
• A banana
• Blueberries

You'll be able to find all of these items fairly easily in the early areas of the game. Wheat can be grown from seeds purchased at Goofy's stall in Peaceful Meadow, and these fruits grow on bushes and trees in Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, and the Forest of Valor.

Once you've gathered all the ingredients, all you have to do is cook them before bringing him the dish.

Crafting a fishing rod for Goofy

As you might expect, the meal doesn't manage to put Vanellope in a better mood. All that's left is to make Goofy a brand new fishing rod.

To craft the new item, you'll need to gather:

• 10 softwood
• 4 fiber
• 2 iron ingots
• Some hardware

Softwood can be found almost everywhere around trees in most biomes. Fiber comes from seaweed, while iron ore can be found in the Forest of Valor and beyond.

Tip

Stock up on plenty of iron ingots, since some will be used to craft the hardware.

Once you've gathered the materials, head to the "Functional Items" category at the crafting station to craft the fishing rod. Go back to see Goofy, who will tell you to go fishing in the large pond located to the right of Peaceful Meadow. Aim for the orange fishing spots to get the plush string, which is the key to our investigation.

Finding the solution

Once you have the plush string in hand, go find Merlin to learn more about this mysterious item. One final conversation with Merlin and Joy will conclude the "Mood Swings" quest and guide you toward Sadness's level 4 mission in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
