Disney Dreamlight Valley’s “A Rift in Time” expansion has finally arrived, transporting players to the breathtaking realm of Eternity Isle. But before you dive headfirst into this magical realm, let’s equip you with the knowledge you need to navigate its intricacies.
Understanding Mist: Your New Currency
Unlike Dreamlight Valley, Eternity Isle unlocks its regions not with Dreamlight, but with a new resource called Mist. This ethereal energy can be acquired by completing Mist Duties and Eternity Isle Duties, similar to the Dreamlight Duties you’re already familiar with. Focus on these tasks, and you’ll soon have a healthy Mist stash ready to fuel your exploration.
Set Up Goofy’s Stall for Convenient Shopping
As soon as you arrive, initiate the Give Me a Sign quest to build Goofy’s Stall in Ancient Landing. This handy shop provides crucial supplies and upgrades, making it an invaluable asset. Gather 25 copper and 12 plastic scraps (fish in non-rippled water for plastic). Scrooge will set up the stall for free, but upgrades require your investment.
Unlocking the Royal Hourglass
To truly experience Eternity Isle’s full potential, you’ll need to find the Royal Hourglass. This powerful artifact lies at the heart of the island’s secrets, but obtaining it requires completing two key quests: The Secrets of Eternity Isle and The Flying Metal Nuisance.
1. The Secrets of Eternity Isle
- Upon arrival, speak to the Jafar hologram who tasks you with findingAncient Sphere pieces. One lies near Scrooge’s store by the docks, while the other rests near a large tree by the Ancient Gate.
- Repair the sphere and place it on the pedestal beside the gate to unlock the courtyard.
- Locate the Jafar hologram near the broken bridge in the courtyard to complete the quest.
2. The Flying Metal Nuisance
- Jafar needs you to retrieve the Royal Hourglass, guarded by the enigmatic Eve.
- Find Eve on the beach near the docks, but she won’t easily relinquish the Hourglass.
- Jafar suggests gaining her trust. Investigate her home for clues, uncovering a photograph that hints at a hidden location.
- Near the bridge to the beach, locate the large waterfall. Mine some copper to reveal a hidden path behind the waterfall.
- Follow the path to the photo’s location and retrieve the robot costume from a nearby trunk. Don it!
- Return to Eve, who challenges you to cook the meal shown in the photo. Gather cumin from white plants, celery from Goofy’s stall, robot fish from reddish-gold fishing bubbles, and a snail from blue bubbles.
- Cook the meal and present it to Eve. Impressed, she finally grants you the Royal Hourglass.
Broken Yet Powerful
Though incomplete, the Hourglass retains the power to clear small Swirling Sands. Begin by sweeping away the swirling barrier in the courtyard, granting you access to the Secluded Beach. Jafar awaits, brimming with cryptic clues. He tasks you with finding the missing Ancient Statue Fragments, hidden within the sands of Eternity Isle.
Follow the Arch of Sand
Channel your inner Indiana Jones! When not facing swirling sands, tap the Hourglass. A luminous arch will guide you towards the hidden fragments. Blue signifies distance, yellow means you’re nearing your prize, and orange screams “dig here!” Trust the arch, adventurer, and claim the fragments by tapping the Hourglass repeatedly.
Unveiling the Ancient Plates
With the statue repaired, the quest for Time’s Jewels truly begins. Seek out three Ancient Plates scattered across Eternity Isle. One whispers secrets near the Secluded Beach path, another guards the well in Ancient Landing, and the third snuggles near Eve’s beachside haven. Gather these ancient relics and whisper their tales to Jafar.
The Timebending Table
Prepare for a twist! The Hourglass needs a Timebending Table, not a crafting station, to regain its full power. Turns out, that peculiar altar on the Secluded Beach holds the key. Jafar offers instructions, and you, armed with knowledge and determination, use the Timebending Table to craft arms for the broken statue. Witness the power of time as the statue regains its limbs, rewarding you with the first Time Jewel!
Building Bridges, Unveiling Lands
Return to the courtyard and stand before the broken bridge. With the Hourglass in hand, reverse time and watch the bridge miraculously repair itself. Merlin, ever the wise observer, informs you of the 2000 Mist toll for crossing. Gather your resources, adventurer, for the Glittering Dunes and the Wild Tangle await beyond the bridge!
With this guide in hand, you’re ready to conquer Eternity Isle. Remember, adventurer, the sands of time hold countless secrets. Embrace the magic, navigate the challenges, and unlock the full potential of this breathtaking new chapter in your Disney Dreamlight Valley journey!
