To Remember the Past

Before The Forgetting, Simba had an important role in Disney Dreamlight Valley. He has just a seed of memories from that time. He just can’t remember what the role actually was. You can help!

A Village Role

Simba wants help figuring out what his role in Dreamlight Valley used to be. He’s sure that remembering and resuming that role will help restore balance to the Valley.

But who can help?

Strangely, there is one Villager that was sheltered from the effects of The Forgetting and may just have the answer Simba seeks. Unfortunately for Simba, it’s likely the last person he wants to ask. It’s Scar.

Quest Task: Talk to Scar.

Scar Remembers

Scar is a wealth of information, and he takes great glee in filling you in.

It appears Simba was in charge of protecting a very important tree, the Dreamlight Tree. But when The Forgetting began, he left Dreamlight Valley with Nala, and the tree withered and died.

But you may be able to bring the tree back. You did hide the tree’s seeds, after all, somewhere in the Vitalys Mines.

A Hidden Room

Go into the Vitalys Mines and look around.

Find the entrance to a hidden room near the small camp, just a short distance down the right path as you enter the mine. The hidden door shimmers with light.

Interact with the strange rocks to gain entry into the room.

Quest Task: Search the Sunlit Plateau’s Mines for a hidden entrance,

Drawings and Beakers

The hidden room is fascinating! It was obviously used for many experiments. There are drawings, notes on the walls and lots of books. Tubes and beakers are also setup on the far table.

What is this place? Perhaps Merlin will know.

Quest Task: Investigate the objects in the room:

  • The drawing on the wall

Consult Merlin

Telling Merlin about the room inside the Vitalys Mines restores his memory of the place as well.

The room used to be your Herbalist Room. You did a lot of experiments with the Valley flora.

In fact, after much experimentation, you created a new plant. You created a Dreamlight Tree Seed.

Ah, that must be the fruit you saw caught and preserved in the machine inside the herbalist room! The seed of memories of what this room is are starting to come back.

Quest Task: Talk to Merlin about what you saw.

The Herbalist Room

Head back the Herbalist Room and place the potions in the spots on each side of the slumbering Dreamlight Fruit.

It only takes moments for the potions to work. The Dreamlight Fruit looks healthy once again and you can now extract seeds from it.

The seed of memories are coming back! You need to plant these seeds!

Quest Task: Place the Potions in the empty spaces on the Table in the Herbalist Room.

Special Seeds

With the seeds in your inventory, find Simba and fill him in.

When you plant this new seed, it will grow into a Dreamlight Tree. Simba’s role in Dreamlight Valley was, and will continue to be, to watch over the Dreamlight Tree.

Simba is excited to finally figure out his role. Plus, he knows just the right place to plant the Dreamlight Tree Seed!

Quest Task: Return to Simba.

Quest Task: Follow Simba.

A New Seedling

Simba picks a spot near the pond in the Sunlit Plateau to plant the Dreamlight Tree Seed.

Be sure to water the New Seedling.

Quest Task: Plant the Dreamlight Tree Seed near the pond on the Sunlit Plateau.

Quest Task: Water the Dreamlight Tree Seed.

Pro Tip: We’ve had different experiences with the amount of time it takes to grow the Dreamlight Tree Seed. It can take anywhere from a little over a day to 3 days. Be sure to keep the seed watered.

Most recently, we tried using Miracle Growth Elixir on the seedling after it dried up the first time (after approx. 36 hrs). The Tree grew immediately.

Simba and Scar

When the Dreamlight Tree is fully grown, Simba and Scar have an interesting exchange of words. It’s fun to listen.

Quest Task: Tend to the Dreamlight Tree until it’s fully grown.

Quest Task: Listen to Simba and Scar’s Conversation.

Seed of Memories

Simba is extremely pleased with his new role in Dreamlight Valley.

With the planting of this new tree, you also planted the seed of memories long forgotten in his mind. Things are falling into place. He already feels a change in the wind.

This new Dreamlight Tree is going to very good for Dreamlight Valley. He is sure of it!

Quest Task: Talk to Simba.
