With Great Power Quest Guide – Disney Dreamlight Valley

Welcome to this comprehensive guide for the “With Great Power” story quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This quest involves exploring cursed caves on Dazzle Beach, solving riddles, gathering gems and crops, and ultimately restoring the Pillar of Power to free Ursula from her curse. Follow along as we break down each stage of this exciting adventure.

The Quest Begins: Meeting Merlin

Your journey starts with Merlin in the Meadow area. He informs you that someone has gone into a cave and reveals some troubling news—the villagers fear the Forgetting is happening again. Merlin explains that Dreamlight Valley’s fate lies in the hands of someone who has gone into a cave on Dazzle Beach. You’ll need to explore the Cave on Dazzle Beach to investigate further.

Head down from the Meadow toward Dazzle Beach and proceed into the cave. Merlin will accompany you as your companion. Along the way, he mentions that memories are getting clouded and they fear the Forgetting may be happening again. He also reveals that a dark entity is causing all these curses, and a witch fled when the Forgetting occurred.

Meeting Ursula in the Cursed Cave

Inside the cave, you’ll encounter Ursula trapped behind purple magical smoke. She confronts you, asking if you’re the one who trapped her there. You respond as a hero of the valley, and Ursula acknowledges that you must possess great power to have made it through the cave.

Ursula explains that before the Forgetting, the Pillar of Power protected Dazzle Beach from curses and evil. After the Forgetting occurred, someone stole the orb from the pillar and hid it in a cave on the beach. She attempted to find it but became trapped in this cursed cave.

Obtaining the Crystal Key

Ursula gives you a mysterious crystal called the Crystal Key. This key will unlock something on Dazzle Beach. You need to place it in a device near the locked entrance to another cave on Dazzle Beach.

Exit the current cave and head to the pedestal located near the locked cave entrance on Dazzle Beach (you’ll recognize the area near Moana’s boat). Interact with the pedestal and transfer the Crystal Key there. This action will open the cave entrance, allowing you to explore the next area.

Stage One: The Gem Barrier Puzzle

Upon entering the next cave, you’ll encounter your first puzzle: a barrier that requires you to “provide the gem that matches best to continue your hero’s quest.” You’ll see three colored statues—blue, green, and red.

Collecting the Required Gems

You need to gather three gems: a Peridot (green), an Aquamarine (blue), and a Garnet (red). Here’s where to find each:

Peridot (Green): Found on Dazzle Beach and in the Peaceful Meadow

Aquamarine (Blue): Found on Dazzle Beach and in the Forest of Vada

Garnet (Red): Found in the Peaceful Meadow and the Plaza

Mining for Gems

To collect gems, equip your pickaxe and approach any rock nodes. You’ll notice some rocks have gems visibly sticking out of them. Right-click on the rocks to mine them. Even if a rock appears depleted, it has a small chance of still yielding a gem when mined.

Gem rocks respawn approximately every five minutes. If you’re having trouble finding gems, simply mine all available rock nodes and wait for them to respawn. Eventually, some will respawn with gems attached. Don’t panic—persistence is key!

Once you’ve collected all three gems (Peridot, Aquamarine, and Garnet), return to the puzzle area. Place each gem into its matching colored statue—green gem to the green statue, blue gem to the blue statue, and red gem to the red statue. The barrier will open, allowing you to proceed to the next stage.

Stage Two: The Crop Riddle Puzzle

The next barrier presents you with this riddle: “One is underground, the other one is gold and brown. What remains is red and round.”

Solving the Riddle

The answer requires three crops:

Underground: Carrots

Gold and Brown: Wheat

Red and Round: Tomato

Obtaining Seeds and Growing Crops

You can purchase all these seeds from Goofy’s store. Goofy has an upgraded market stall in the Peaceful Meadow where you can buy carrot seeds and wheat seeds. Tomato seeds are available at Goofy’s market stall on Dazzle Beach.

Plant the seeds and water them. Once all three crops have fully grown, they will light up beautifully, and the barrier will unlock automatically, allowing you to advance to the next stage.

Stage Three: The Cooking Riddle

After clearing away some rocks, you may find a recipe book. Learn the recipe from this book, and it will present the final riddle: “Let it be known to cook and eat what you have grown.”

Preparing Veggie Pasta

You need to cook a meal using the three crops you just grew. Use a cooking pot and add the following ingredients in any order:

Wheat

Tomato

Carrot

This combination will create Veggie Pasta. Remember that the riddle requires you to not only cook the dish but also eat it. Consume the Veggie Pasta from your inventory, and you’ll unlock passage to the final stage of the cave.

Final Stage: Fishing for the Orb of Power

In the final chamber, you’ll encounter a fishing spot. Equip your fishing rod and use the following technique:

Press Space to cast your line into the golden fishing hole

When prompted, right-click to engage

Continue right-clicking when the prompt appears (typically when the line goes green)

Repeat until you successfully reel in the catch

Your reward is the Orb of Power—the very object that Ursula was seeking.

Restoring the Pillar of Power

Exit the cave completely and make your way to the Pillar of Power location on Dazzle Beach. Interact with the pillar and insert the Orb of Power into it. This action will immediately remove the curse from Dazzle Beach and free Ursula from her magical imprisonment.

Completing the Quest

Return to the cave where Ursula was trapped and speak with her. She will thank you for your help and explain that the pillar you restored will now protect the village from the Forgetting’s curses. She then asks you to inform Merlin of what has transpired.

Use your map to locate Merlin and speak with him. Report that you’ve returned the Orb of Power to its rightful place and that Ursula (whom you now call a fast friend) is free. Merlin will acknowledge your marvelous deeds and recognize that Ursula sees the power within you.

With Merlin’s final words of wisdom, the “With Great Power” quest is complete!

The “With Great Power” quest is an engaging multi-stage adventure that tests your puzzle-solving skills, resource management, and exploration abilities. From collecting gems and growing crops to cooking meals and fishing for legendary artifacts, this quest provides a well-rounded introduction to Disney Dreamlight Valley’s mechanics.
