Entering Skull Rock with The Forgotten triggers the Shadows on the Wall quest, immersing players in a compelling Disney Dreamlight Valley mystery. Completing this storyline requires gathering specialized crafting materials, aligning beams of light, and solving tricky classic riddles. This walkthrough outlines every step necessary to solve the cavern puzzles and unlock the path forward.
Entering Skull Rock and Investigating Clues
Players begin this adventure by accompanying The Forgotten to the entrance of Skull Rock on Dazzle Beach. Upon stepping inside the gloomy cavern, you will notice a strange shadow darting along the ancient stone walls.
Search near the locked wooden gate to find a digging spot containing your first broken lantern. You can retrieve the remaining two broken lanterns by casting your fishing rod into orange rippling spots in the water.
Gathering Materials and Repairing the Lanterns
Restoring the damaged lanterns requires several key crafting ingredients found throughout the valley. You must collect three Pixie Dust Orbs, three Gold Ingots, nine pieces of Glass, and nine Vitalys Crystals.
Sprint after the glowing Pixie Dust Orbs in your village to capture them as they float through the air. After securing all required items, visit a crafting station to construct three repaired Pixie Dust Lanterns.
Trapping the Elusive Shadow
Return to Skull Rock and attach the fixed lanterns to the three rope winches near the center. Turning these winches rotates the lantern beams, allowing you to cast light across the walls.
To trap the fleeing figure, rotate all three lanterns so their beams converge on a single spot on the right wall. Once trapped, reposition a lantern toward the locked gate to uncover the hidden mechanism.
Solving the Jade Skull Riddles
Interact with the mysterious Jade Skulls near the gate to begin a three-question quiz. The correct answers to the riddles in order are a pirate ship, a pixie, and a pan flute.
Providing the correct responses causes a wooden wheel to emerge alongside the ancient gateway. Interacting with the wheel opens the gate, successfully completing the quest and leading into the next chapter.
