Overcoming obstacles is a key aspect of Disney Dreamlight Valley, starting with night thorns and expanding to various challenges like tree stumps and marine debris. In the “A Rift in Time” expansion, players face whirling sands and hostile plants, while “The Storybook Vale” introduces quests like “Seeing Only Flames,” requiring players to gather specific items to extinguish flames in the Burning Plains of Mythopia. A guide details the steps to complete these quests effectively.
Overcoming Challenges in Disney Dreamlight Valley
No matter when you began your adventure in Disney Dreamlight Valley, it’s likely you’ve come across various challenges along the way. Initially, you’ll find that night thorns are the primary obstacles, which are easily eliminated using your magical abilities. As you delve deeper into the storyline and unveil new biomes, you’ll encounter an increasing number of barriers. Throughout the base game, you’ll frequently encounter tree stumps, marine debris, and mushrooms, but with each expansion, new challenges emerge.
In the expansion A Rift in Time, players must navigate through whirling sands, glass stalagmites, and various malicious plants. The upcoming expansion, The Storybook Vale, also introduces additional obstacles. Most portals that lead to the Fairy Tale Trials and Mythical Trials are obstructed, and it’s your mission to clear these hurdles. This is particularly relevant for the quest ‘Seeing Only Flames’, assigned by the god of the Underworld, where you’ll need to consult Hades to extinguish the flames left by Maleficent in the Burning Plains of Mythopia. Here’s a guide to help you along the way:

Completing the ‘Seeing Only Flames’ Quest from Hades
Your journey begins as you unlock access to the Burning Plains of Mythopia and automatically receive the quest. Roam the area until you spot a mysterious portal located high in the southeast. The entrance is engulfed in flames, so your first task is to snap a photo of the flames (ensure you’re as close as possible and that the mechanism is included in the shot). After capturing the image, it’s time to consult Hades.
Hades will inform you about a hidden source of sacred water, prompting you to turn to the Codex for assistance. She will advise you to capture specific anigamis to restore the tale related to this source, specifically:
- 10 red bird anigamis: Found in the Library of Knowledge of the Binding.
- 5 pink demon anigamis: Located in the Elysian Fields and the Burning Plains of Mythopia.
- 2 blue demon anigamis: Available in the Burning Plains of Mythopia.
After gathering the required anigamis, use them to rearrange the story titled ‘Aurora and the Sacred Source’ with the Codex. She will then disclose the location of the sacred source, which lies in the Elysian Fields of Mythopia, hidden behind flowering bushes near the entrance to the Burning Plains.
Interact with the bushes, followed by the basin to collect a Vial of Sacred Water, and return to Hades. Unfortunately, this alone won’t quench the flames; you will also need to gather the following items:
- 5 scarlet eternal poppies: Collect these flowers scattered across the Elysian Fields and Mount Olympus of Mythopia.
- 3 magma: Mine from the rocky outcrops in Mythopia.
- 2 seahorses: Fish for these in the white circles of the water points in Mythopia.
Once you have all the items, create a Watering Can Potion from the Potion and Enchantment section at any crafting station, and apply it to your royal watering can in your inventory.
Finally, use the potion to douse the flames blocking the portal to the Burning Plains. Then, perform a vertical strike on the mechanism to progress to the next Mythical Trial: ‘The Promethean Flame’, which you can find more information about on Hades‘ character page in our comprehensive guide for the The Storybook Vale DLC.
