How To Unlock Peter Pan In Disney Dreamlight Valley

Peter Pan has finally arrived in Disney Dreamlight Valley as part of the Mysteries of Skull Rock update, bringing childlike glee to the adventure. However, as it goes with most new DDV additions, unlocking him isn’t easy.

Peter Pan is part of Skull Rock, which has remained a mystery for years. After the main quest was completed, a shift occurred just off Dazzle Beach, but aside from that, we didn’t know what was inside, or rather, who was inside.

Now, as part of the Mysteries of Skull Rock update, we know the new character, Peter Pan, lies in wait for us. So, if you’re looking to unlock him, here’s exactly how to do it.

How to unlock Peter Pan

A Forgotten Name

Once you’ve completed the Mysteries of Skull Rock update, you’ll need to wait until the A Forgotten Name quest comes up. We had to wait 45 minutes for the quest to arrive, so you’ll have to be a little patient.

Once it pops up, you’ll be instructed to speak to The Forgotten, who will reveal they found a mysterious feather by Skull Rock. Naturally, the two of you investigate.

Head over to Skull Rock and speak to The Forgotten there. You’ll both reminisce on better, freer times as a child before they ask you to give them a real name.

Simply choose from one of the options or select a custom name. When you do, they’ll be added to your Valley as an official villager, marking the start of the next quest.

Shadows On The Wall

The next quest is Shadows On The Wall, which will have you heading into Skull Rock with The Forgotten (we’ll call them that for now because no one will know who Suzie is!). So, enter the new space and take in the beautiful boat.

You’ll be told to explore Skull Rock, which is a not-so-subtle hint to check out the location for chests, hidden items, and the occasional piece of gem or gold coins. Once you’re satisfied, head over to The Forgotten and speak to them.

Find the broken lanterns

They’ll explain that they saw a few Pixie Dust Orbs, which act as lights filled with Pixie Dust and Dreamlight. If you’ve found the lantern, then it’ll activate, and you’ll need to find the others. If not, you’ll be instructed to search more to find three broken lanterns to house the Pixie Dust Orbs.

The first is found near where you speak to The Forgotten for the second time, by the Winches. Head to the far left corner facing The Forgotten and dig up the shining mound for the first Lantern.

Then, head down to the ship and grab your Fishing Rod. The other two lanterns are on either side of the dock and need to be fished up.

Fix the Lanterns

When you have all three, you’ll need the following ingredients to fix the Lanterns:

3 Broken Lanterns in Skull Rock
3 Gold Ingots
9 Glass
9 Vitalys Crystal

As we mentioned above, you’ll find the lanterns in Skull Rock. The Gold Ingots are mined at mining nodes in Sunlit Plateau, Frosted Heights, and Forgotten Lands. It’s five Gold Nuggets per Ingot, so you’ll need 15 Gold Nuggets and three Coal.

Glass is crafted using Sand, which is dug up in Dazzle Beach. You’ll need 45 Sand and 18 Coal to make nine Glass. Lastly, Vitalys Crystals are mined in the Vitalys Mine in the Sunlit Plateau.

Find and catch the Pixie Dust Orbs

Next, you’ll need to catch the three Orbs. We found them in the following locations:

Glade of Trust by Gothels house.
Forest of Valor on the Bridge.
Forgotten Lands are by the pond in the top left corner.

With that, head to a crafting table and go to Functional Items. Then craft the three Pixie Dust Lanterns.

Next, head back to Skull Rock and place them on all three Winches. The Winches will be coming out of the ground near The Forgotten.

Catch the Shadow

When you’ve created all the Winches, you’ll need to line up all three in one place to catch the Shadow. For this, aim them all at the longer wall on the right, when looking at The Forgotten.

When they’re pointed out, you can introduce yourself to the Shadow, who will try and show you something. Move one of the lights to free him and aim them at the Winch on the wall behind where you spoke to the Shadow. You only need two lights on it, as a third will trap him.

Once you’ve done this, speak to the three Jade Skulls and solve the three riddles using the following answers:

I’m used to exploring the waters and shores, a swaying home atom the sea-foam. What am I?
I’m a winged creature, small and bright, with magic dust to grant you flight. Don’t be fooled; I’ve courage twice my size. Date to doubt; that’s just unwise. What am I?
I’m an instrument of wind, and for him I’ll always play as he laughs and grins to lead the way. What am I?

With that, you’ll be able to turn the winch and continue onto the next quest.

A Ship of Gold

Next, follow the Shadow and The Forgotten through the gate and speak to The Forgotten. You’ll need to look for another Winch, which is found buried in a rock by the barrel to your right. Use your pickaxe and break the rock to reveal a Pixie Dust Orb, some Pixie Dust, and the winch.

Follow the Pixie Dust Orb

You’ll need to follow the Pixie Dust Orb around Skull Rock, collecting all the Pixie Dust it drops. Follow it as it glides and use your pickaxe on every large rock you come across. Some blend in well with the wall, so keep your pickaxe equipped.

Make the ship fly

Once you’ve collected all six Pixie Dusts and the Pixie Dust Orb, which can be captured at the end of the task, you’ll need to make something fly.

This is the large Pirate Ship situated in the middle of Skull Rock. Simply interact with it, add in the six Pixie Dust, and watch it fly. You’ll need to head up there and walk across the boat to speak to The Forgotten again.

Solve the barrel puzzle

They’ll explain that these barrels are pretty mysterious and look to be part of a puzzle. You need to match the symbols to one another. Each pair is on opposite sides to each other, so it’ll be easy to make them face the correct answer.

The answers have been listed below:

Hook + Clock (Captain Hook)
Sewing Needle + Shadow (Peter Pan)
Pixie + Bell (Tinkerbell)

Simply line these up to face each other, and the puzzle will be solved.

As a reward, you’ll receive the Captain’s key from the barrel behind The Forgotten. Pick it up and head down to the Captain’s Cabin on the bottom floor of the ship.

Once inside, you’ll see the Winch. Grab this and head back to where you picked up the key. There will be a slot for you to place the Winch down and open up the next section, therefore completing this current quest.

The Music’s On the Walls

For the final quest to unlock Peter Pan, follow The Forgotten and the Shadow to the next location in Skull Rock. What will appear is a series of musical notes and a book. Once you speak to The Forgotten, a Glowing Musical Note will break free and begin flying away. Chase after it and interact to catch the pesky note.

If you lose sight of the note, head to the left after speaking to the Forgotten, it’ll go down the ramp and through the door. Left behind is a memory depicting Peter Pan flying with notes around him.

Next, head back to The Forgotten and pick up the silver key just to the left of them. Head back to the Captain’s Cabin and unlock the chest inside.

What comes out is another memory in the form of a letter. This letter is a treasure map, with an X on Ariel’s Island. Speak to The Forgotten, and they’ll explain that you need to find this buried treasure and the Musical Notes.

Find the missing Glowing Musical Notes

The clue you get for the Notes’ location is “the Forgotten Lands, the Frosted Heights, Dazzle Beach, and the Dream Castle.” Though if you’d rather, the answers they’re below.

You can find the five extra notes in the following locations:

With the Jade Skulls in Skull Rock. Answer the riddle with Pixie Dust.
In the treehouse in the Forgotten Lands.
In Olaf’s cave in the Frosted Heights.
In Ursula’s cave on Dazzle Beach.
In the Dream Castle on the second floor.

As for the buried treasure, you’ll need to take the boat by Skull Rock to Ariel’s island. It’s just on the curve. Dig up the treasure, and that task will be complete.

Move the notes

Then, head back to The Forgotten and the Musical Notes. You’ll need to interact with the individual buttons to move the notes up. Make sure they align with the notes in the book, which is shown in the image below.

Annoyingly, the Shadow will sabotage this, so you’ll need to craft one more Lantern in the crafting table on the right and place it on the Winch. Then, move them both into the middle to trap him.

Lastly, move the notes back to their rightful positions.

With that, Peter Pan will appear and allow you to speak to him. He’s a little cautious since you’re an adult, so he will challenge you to a game of hide-and-seek.

Find Peter Pan

You’re looking for dark, scary spots when searching for Peter Pan. It’s up to you whether you want to follow the Pixie Dust or ask the villagers where he might be. But, if you prefer to just unlock him, then you’ll find him in the following location:

The top floor of the Dark Castle.

Head into the portal in the Plaza and enter the Dark Castle. Go up as much as possible, and you’ll find plenty of Pixie dust and eventually Peter Pan himself.

With that, he’ll agree to join your Valley. So, place down his home, build it for 20,000 Star Coins, and he’ll be invited to your Valley.
