Here and There and Back Again Quest Guide in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The “Here and There and Back Again” quest is a key storyline in Disney Dreamlight Valley that involves crafting gem statues, placing them strategically across different biomes, and catching a rare fish to prepare a special meal. This comprehensive guide will walk you through each step to complete the quest successfully.

Gather Your Amafists

Begin by collecting amafists, which you can find in various locations around the valley. In this guide, we retrieved one from the Frozen Heights. Make sure you have amafists available before proceeding to the crafting stage.

Craft the Gem Statues

Once you have your amafists, you’ll need to craft three gem statues at your crafting table:

Aquamarine Lion Statue

Amafist Lion Statue

Citrine Lion Statue

To craft these statues, you’ll need materials including enchanted hearts and clay. Access your crafting table and follow the recipe for each statue variant. Make sure you craft all three before moving on to the placement stage.

Place the Statues at the Rifts

After crafting all three gem statues, you’ll need to place them in specific locations next to rifts in different biomes. This is a critical step—placing the correct color statue in the correct location is essential.

Dazzle Beach

Place the green (Aquamarine) statue at the rift in Dazzle Beach. When placed correctly, you’ll receive confirmation that the placement is complete.

Frosted Heights

Head to the Frosted Heights and place the citrine (yellow/orange) statue at the rift there. Use your inventory menu (navigate to Furniture > Quests > Amafist Lion Statue) to access and place the correct statue.

Glade of Trust

Finally, place the orange statue in the Glade of Trust. If you place the wrong statue in any location, simply click on it and remove it from the furniture menu, then try the correct one.

Catch the Here and There Fish

After placing all three statues and speaking with Nala, you’ll learn that the rifts are closing. The next objective is to catch a “Here and There” fish by fishing in the village during specific times.

Fishing Time Windows

The Here and There fish can only be caught during these time windows:

6:00 AM – 10:00 AM

6:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Fishing Location Requirements

Important: You must fish in regular water, not in the blue fishing ripple pools scattered throughout the valley. The fish can be caught anywhere in the valley, but only during the specified time windows and only while on this quest or after completing it.

Adjusting Your System Time

If it’s not the correct in-game time, you can change your computer’s system time to match the required fishing window. Note that the game settings have a “Time of Day” offset under Graphics, but this only affects visuals—gameplay remains synced with your local system time. Changing your PC’s system time will affect the in-game time accordingly.

Once you’ve adjusted the time to fall within the fishing window, cast your line in normal water and keep fishing until you catch the Here and There fish.

Cook the Lioness Feast

Take the Here and There fish you’ve caught to Remi, who will provide you with the Lioness Feast recipe. This is a unique recipe added to your recipe book specifically for this quest.

Lioness Feast Ingredients

To prepare the Lioness Feast, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Here and There Fish (from your catch)

Mushrooms

Tomato

Basil

The good news is that Remi won’t take your fish—you can use the same fish you caught to prepare the meal. Gather the remaining ingredients and cook the Lioness Feast using the new recipe.

Complete the Quest

With the Lioness Feast prepared, return to Nala and present her with the meal as a celebration for closing the rifts. This final step completes the “Here and There and Back Again” quest.

Summary

The “Here and There and Back Again” quest requires you to craft three gem statues, place them correctly at rifts in three different biomes, catch a Here and There fish during specific time windows, and prepare a special meal for Nala. By following this guide step-by-step, you’ll complete the quest and progress further in Disney Dreamlight Valley’s main storyline.
