What Home Feels Like Quest Guide in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Welcome to this comprehensive guide for the “What Home Feels Like” quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This is Elsa’s second quest, which you can unlock after discovering the Ice Cave. Follow along as we walk through each step, including ingredient gathering, cooking recipes, and locating secret items to complete this exciting quest.

Starting the Quest with Elsa

Begin by talking to Elsa to initiate the quest. She will ask you to make an Arondalean pickled herring recipe, which requires several ingredients that you’ll need to gather throughout the valley.

Gathering Ingredients for Arondalean Pickled Herring

To create the Arondalean pickled herring, you’ll need to collect the following ingredients:

Onions

Lemons

Garlic

Dandelions

One empty vial

You can craft an empty vial yourself using just glass, which is a straightforward process if you don’t have one on hand.

Finding Dandelions

Dandelions can typically be found in the Meadow area of Dreamlight Valley.

Harvesting Lemons

If you have lemon trees available on your property, harvest them to obtain the lemons needed for this recipe.

Once you’ve gathered all five ingredients (lemon, dandelion, garlic, onion, and empty vial), bring them to Elsa.

Catching the Glittering Herring

The next step requires you to catch a glittering herring in the Glade of Trust, but there’s an important condition: it must be raining. There are no cheats or methods to control the weather, so you’ll need to wait for rainy conditions to occur naturally in your game.

Fishing Tips for Higher Success

While fishing in the Glade of Trust, focus on the orange or blue ripples, which represent rare fishing spots. Fishing in these locations will give you a significantly higher chance of catching a glittering herring compared to regular fishing spots.

Cooking the Arondalean Fish Pie

With the glittering herring in hand, head to your oven to cook the Arondalean fish pie. This recipe requires:

Dandelion syrup

Butter

Wheat

Glittering herring (the one you just caught)

Preparing the Arondalean Pickled Herring Recipe

Next, you’ll prepare the Arondalean pickled herring recipe using the following ingredients:

Herring

Lemon

Onion

Garlic

Any spices (such as Majestii or similar available spices)

Delivering Meals to Elsa

Once you’ve cooked both meals, bring them to Elsa. Make sure you have both the Arondalean fish pie and the Arondalean pickled herring in your inventory before approaching her. She will accept both dishes as part of the quest progression.

Locating Elsa’s Secret Chest

After Elsa receives the meals, your next objective is to find and dig up Elsa’s secret chest located near the Ice Cavern entrance. The chest is hidden in a specific spot that you can excavate.

Finding the Exact Location

The secret chest is positioned just in front of a rock formation near the Ice Cavern entrance. You’ll be able to dig at this location to unearth the chest, which contains various items as a reward.

Returning to Elsa with the Pickled Herring

After obtaining the secret chest, return to Elsa and present her with an Arondalean pickled herring. She clearly loves this particular dish and will reward you with a jar of Arondalean pickled herring as a token of appreciation.

Placing the Purple Crest in the Ice Cavern

The final step involves placing the purple crest on the wall inside the Ice Cavern. If you completed Elsa’s first quest, you may remember obtaining a blue item. Now you can obtain and place the purple crest in its designated location on the cavern wall.

Completing the Quest

Return to Elsa one final time and speak with her about the crest placement. This conversation will complete the “What Home Feels Like” quest successfully.

Quest Summary

Congratulations on completing the “What Home Feels Like” quest! This quest involved gathering multiple ingredients, cooking two separate recipes, catching a rare fish during specific weather conditions, discovering a hidden chest, and placing a decorative crest in the Ice Cavern. You should now have earned valuable rewards and unlocked further content with Elsa.
