The Cave of Wonder, a key location in Disney Dreamlight Valley’s A Rift in Time expansion, presents a series of mirror puzzles that can hinder players’ progress through the main story quests. This guide will provide a step-by-step solution to help you overcome these obstacles and continue your adventure.
Tackling the First Room
Upon entering the Cave of Wonders, head left and clear the path of Splinters of Fate. Locate the Power Coil and place it in the designated slot. Return to the main area of the room and activate the switch to unlock the first door.
Restoring Power in the Second Room
In the second room, ascend the stairs on the right and descend into a chamber with an unpowered Power Coil at its center. The objective is to establish a continuous flow of energy from the activated Power Coil at the back of the room to the one in the center. Interact with the circular stones surrounding the unpowered Power Coil, following these instructions:
- Starting from the stone closest to the active Power Coil, rotate it once.
- Rotate the second stone three times.
- Rotate the third stone twice.
- Rotate the fourth stone once.
- Rotate the fifth stone twice.
With the Power Coil fully charged, remove it from its pedestal and return to the last room.
Retrieving the Ancient Mirror and Unlocking the Forcefield Door
Take the left staircase this time. Clear the Splinters of Fate along the left path and collect the Ancient Mirror. Activate both switches in this area to project a beam of light towards the room’s entrance. Position yourself at the beam’s endpoint and place the Ancient Mirror on the wall.
Back in the central room, operate the switch to raise the mirror, directing one of the light beams to the right side of the large forcefield door. Insert the Power Coil you retrieved earlier into the slot next to the right stairs, powering up another beam that will land on the left side of the forcefield door. Step through and follow the straightforward path to reach the Jewel of Time.
Once you have acquired the Jewel of Time, utilize a nearby exit portal to return to The Wastes and resume your journey.
By following these steps, you’ll successfully navigate the mirror puzzles in the Cave of Wonders and progress smoothly through the “A Rift in Time” expansion of Disney Dreamlight Valley. Good luck on your journey!
