Peacemakers Quest Guide in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Welcome to this comprehensive guide for the Peacemakers Quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This friend quest with Moana involves helping to reconcile her relationship with Maui by gathering special items and crafting gifts. Follow along as we walk through each step to complete this heartwarming quest.

Starting the Quest with Moana

Begin by speaking with Moana, who will ask if you remember the mysterious shiny thing you found on the boat. She mentions that Maui knows a lot about these objects, but he’s upset with her for leaving without him when she moved dimensions to visit the village.

Moana explains that Maui loves presents, especially food. She specifically mentions that he enjoys three meals: a seafood salad, a fruit salad, and a seafood platter. Agreeing to help will officially start the Peacemakers Quest.

Preparing the Three Meals

Making the Fruit Salad

Start with the easiest recipe: the fruit salad. This requires any fruit—an apple works perfectly. Simply place the fruit in a cooking pot and begin cooking. Once done, you’ll have your first meal ready.

Tip: You can click the “skip result screen” option to speed up the cooking process if you’re making multiple items.

Crafting the Seafood Platter

The seafood platter requires any two pieces of seafood (not fish). Squid is an excellent choice—use two squid and your seafood platter will be complete.

Creating the Seafood Salad

The seafood salad is similar to the platter but with a twist. You’ll need any seafood combined with lettuce. Squid works well as your seafood choice. If you’ve run out of lettuce, you’ll need to gather some before completing this recipe.

Note: If you’re struggling to find seafood, shrimp (blue circles found on the beach) and squid are both reliable options. Squid can be found in the Valley of Trust.

Delivering the Meals to Maui

Once all three meals are prepared, bring them to Maui and select the option to give him these items: the seafood salad, fruit salad, and seafood platter.

Maui will respond by saying the gifts are “a start” in making up for Moana leaving him behind—showing that his mood is beginning to improve, though he’s not fully forgiving yet.

Reporting Back to Moana

Return to Moana at the restaurant to tell her what Maui said. She’ll acknowledge his reaction and suggest another gift: an awl for his boat, since he has excellent wayfinding abilities and is the most experienced at what he does.

Crafting the Awl

Gathering Softwood

To craft the awl, you’ll need 10 softwood. This resource is easily found throughout the game world—you can pick it up off the ground in locations like the Meadow and the Plaza.

Using the Crafting Table

Head to a crafting table (such as Goofy’s, which is a reliable option) and press “use.” Navigate to the “Functional Items” section, where you’ll find a special request from Moana for the awl. Press “make” to craft it.

Delivering the Awl to Moana

Bring the completed awl to Moana at the Plaza. She’ll be delighted with the gift and will take it to Maui herself.

The Reconciliation Scene

Moana and Maui will have a conversation where she apologizes for not telling him about her plans. She admits that she was excited about exploring and didn’t think about how it would affect his feelings. Maui accepts her apology, responding with “What can I say except I forgive you?”—a touching moment that marks their reconciliation.

Discovering the Leader Shards

What Are Leader Shards?

During their conversation, Maui will ask about a shiny object Moana is holding. She explains that she wanted to ask him about it. Maui reveals that these are called Leader Shards, which are mystical items connected to the legendary Minga. They appear when people are experiencing significant emotions or leadership moments.

You should already have one blue crystal from a prior quest, and this conversation will trigger the appearance of another Leader Shard.

Locating the Second Leader Shard

The quest will instruct you to pick up the newly appeared Leader Shard. Be aware that some players report finding their shard in unexpected locations. If you’re having trouble locating it, check around open spaces where you had your conversation with Moana and Maui. In some cases, the shard may appear in unusual spots or even in areas you haven’t yet unlocked, possibly due to a glitch.

Tip: Search thoroughly across the entire map if you can’t find it immediately. Try talking to them in an open space to potentially avoid any blocking issues that might cause the shard to spawn in an alternate location.

Completing the Quest

Once you’ve located and collected the second Leader Shard, return to Moana and give it to her. She’ll explain that these shards appeared when the ruler of the valley helped villagers, and that people used to collect them and do something special with them. She’ll mention that she’s still trying to remember the full story.

With this final exchange, the Peacemakers Quest is now complete!

Summary

The Peacemakers Quest is a touching storyline that brings Moana and Maui closer together. By preparing three special meals, crafting an awl, and discovering mysterious Leader Shards, you’ll help mend their relationship and unlock more of the valley’s lore. Remember to gather softwood from open areas, use any fruit or seafood for the recipes, and be patient when searching for the second Leader Shard if it doesn’t appear immediately.
