Mulan and Mushu, the iconic duo from Disney’s 1998 Mulan, are ready to bring their bravery and humor to your Disney Dreamlight Valley! Here’s a comprehensive guide to unlock them:
Step 1: Accessing the Mulan Realm
First things first, you’ll need to collect 15,000 Dreamlight. This currency is earned by completing various tasks in the valley, like removing night thorns, harvesting crops, or fulfilling friendship quests. Check your Dreamlight duties menu (pause menu > Dreamlight tab) to see current tasks.
Once you have the required amount, travel to the majestic Dream Castle. Locate the Mulan Realm door and interact with it. Pay the 15,000 Dreamlight to unlock the door, granting you access to the realm and its inhabitants.
Step 2: Helping Mushu in the Encampment
Upon entering the Mulan Realm, you’ll find yourself in a training encampment. Talk to Mushu, the energetic little dragon, for your first quest.
As a new recruit, Mushu assigns you some basic tasks to demonstrate your worth. These involve clearing debris like rocks and spilled rice bowls scattered around the encampment. Additionally, you’ll need to flip over a large cauldron that seems to be blocking something.
Prove your dedication by finding the missing pieces of a training outfit. Keep an eye out for:
- Training Socks: Look inside one of the tents within the encampment.
- Training Shirt: Similar to the socks, you’ll find the shirt in another tent within the encampment.
- Training Pants: Head outside the encampment near the water. You’ll find the pants hanging on a tree.
- Training Shoes: Explore the wooden pathway outside the encampment. The shoes will be resting on a rock along the path.
Step 3: Breakfast for Mulan and Learning the Recipe
Once you’ve assembled the training outfit and reported back to Mushu, he’ll reward you with a recipe book containing the instructions for Mushu’s Congee.
Locate the nearby grill and gather the necessary ingredients (Rice, Ginger, Eggs, Mushroom, and Garlic) to prepare this special breakfast dish for Mulan.
Head to Mulan’s tent and find the large gong outside. Give it a good bang to wake the slumbering warrior princess.
Present the freshly prepared Mushu’s Congee to Mulan. Witness the heartwarming interaction between the mighty warrior and her loyal companion.
Step 4: Gathering Supplies for Mushu
After breakfast, Mushu will task you with collecting a variety of materials. He’ll provide a list, but keep in mind that most of these items can be found scattered around the encampment area:
- Mud (50x): Look for muddy patches on the ground to collect Mud.
- Buckets of Water (3x): Locate the well near the encampment and use your watering can to fill it with water to create Buckets of Water.
- Firewood (10x): Gather fallen branches or chop down small trees to collect Firewood.
- Red Spider Lilies (10x): Keep an eye out for these vibrant red flowers growing around the encampment.
- Chrysanthemums (5x): Look for these beautiful yellow flowers blooming in the encampment area.
Step 5: Dragon Statue Shenanigans
Once you’ve collected all the requested materials, return to Mushu. He’ll ask for a favor – a picture! Capture his energetic essence with your camera.
Head to the crafting table conveniently located within the encampment. Use the gathered materials to craft 20 Unified Dragon Statues.
Follow Mushu to the nearby kiln, a furnace used for firing clay objects. Place the crafted statues and some Firewood inside the kiln.
Step 6: Training with Mulan
While the statues are being fired, Mulan offers you a chance to test your skills. Talk to her twice, and she’ll lead you to the entrance of a training maze.
Equip the training weights Mulan provides. Enter the maze and navigate its twists and turns. Be on the lookout for eight pebbles hidden throughout the maze. Some might be concealed behind walls or debris that you’ll need to clear with your pickaxe. The maze is relatively small, so a thorough exploration should reveal all the pebbles.
After successfully navigating the maze and collecting the pebbles, return to Mulan. She’ll have you test your physical strength by breaking the training bricks located in the center of the encampment. Use your trusty pickaxe to smash them.
Head to the water’s edge outside the encampment. Look for golden ripples on the water surface – these indicate prime fishing spots. Cast your line and catch 10 Salmon.
Step 7: Helping Mulan Rebuild
Suddenly, a landslide disrupts the peace of the encampment. Don’t worry, you’re here to help! Clear the path by gathering various materials:
- Logs: You can obtain logs by fishing in specific golden ripples or chopping down small trees.
- Sand Piles: Use your shovel to dig up sand piles scattered around the area.
- Rocks: Break down any rocks obstructing the path using your pickaxe.
With the path cleared, assist Mulan in rebuilding by planting 10 trees in the designated area. Remember to water them regularly to ensure their growth.
Mulan requests 20 Sandbags for further construction. Combine the Sand you collected from the landslide cleanup with Fiber, crafted from Seaweed gathered from the water, to create these Sandbags.
Step 8: Building a Home for Mulan and Mushu
Return to Mushu, who’ll provide another task. He needs wood to build a fence around the construction site. Gather the required wood from the area outside the encampment.
Head back to the crafting table and use the collected wood to create the Wooden Fence.
Locate Mushu in the previous landslide area. He’ll have already dug a trench where the fence needs to be placed. Use your crafting menu to position the Wooden Fence sections in the designated spots.
Step 9: Bringing Mushu to the Valley
Talk to Mushu after placing the fence. A short cutscene will play, followed by another conversation with the energetic dragon.
Enter the encampment and speak with Mulan. She’ll express her desire to join your valley, along with Mushu (of course!). However, you’ll need to convince the little dragon first.
Mulan will gift you a house specifically designed for her and Mushu to live in your valley. Head back to your valley and select a location for their new home.
Step 10: The Final Key (For Mushu)
While the house is being built, return to the Mulan Realm and speak with Mushu. He’ll ask you to find a key, crucial for his decision to join your valley.
Search the area near the wagons positioned outside the encampment (the same location where the landslide occurred). You’ll find the key hidden there.
Follow Mushu to a nearby chest. Open the chest using the key, and then open the gift bag you receive. This final act will convince Mushu to finally join your valley.
Congratulations! By following these steps, you’ve successfully unlocked Mulan and Mushu, adding their bravery, humor, and legendary Disney charm to your Disney Dreamlight Valley experience. Now you can embark on further adventures with these iconic characters by completing their friendship quests and decorating their new home in your valley.
