After packing Disney Dreamlight Valley In the Rift in Time expansion, you work with Jafar to discover why 2D objects are randomly appearing on Eternity Isle. Over time, he conducts several alchemical experiments, with the Serpent’s Gift quest diving deeper into his discoveries.
Disney Dreamlight Valley – The Gift of the Serpent Quest Guide
The Gift of the Serpent is a quest that you unlock when you reach friendship level seven with Jafar. When you reach level seven and talk to Jafar, he will tell you about a discovery he made during his recent alchemical experiments. After the conversation, he will give you four imagination generators that you can place in the following locations:
- The Lagoon
- The Borderlands
- The Docks
- In front of Oswald’s house
You’ll need to take a quick trip to Eternity Isle and place the generators around these biomes and in front of Oswald’s house. It doesn’t matter where Oswald’s house is or where exactly you place each generator, as long as they’re in each of the three regions listed.
Once you’ve placed all four generators, you’ll need to wait ten minutes for them to charge. This is a good time to befriend a villager, work on another mission, or complete a task in an ongoing Star Trail.
Cheering up Oswald with poutine
After waiting at least ten minutes for the Imagination Generators to charge, you must return to Oswald to hear his thoughts on the situation. Although the Generators are supposed to make him happier, they have the opposite effect, leaving him feeling empty inside.
What is the first solution to this dilemma? Poutine. As a Canadian who has eaten poutine hundreds of times over the years, I think this was a great idea from the protagonist.
To make Poutine at Disney Dreamlight Valley, you will need the following ingredients:
The easiest way to get potatoes and cheese is to visit the Forest of Valor and the Forgotten Lands and purchase seeds or fully grown potatoes. Alternatively, you can often purchase these items in the Wild Tangle and Ancient’s Landing, so you can stay on Eternity Isle if you want. Cheese is the easiest of the three to find, as you can purchase it from Chez Remy for 180 Star Coins.
Now that you have delicious poutine for Oswald, it’s time to deliver it. Although he seems happy at first, you’ll both realize that it didn’t help much, so your character will have to check on the other villagers to see if they have the same problem.
Check on the other villagers
When you’re ready to set out again, you’ll need to check out the following villagers:
- Gaston
- Scrooge McDuck
- Rapunzel
If you talk to each villager, you’ll quickly realize that everyone is affected. This leads to some funny dialogue that I won’t give away so you can experience it for yourself.
Aside from their odd behavior, one thing is constant: they all mention EVE. After a quick conversation with EVE, you will both confirm that Jafar has been planting something in the villagers’ homes and that investigating it is the right thing to do.
Starting at Rapunzel’s house, you’ll find the first object, a copper snake statue, on the ground next to a chair. Interacting with it will remove the item and give you some copper ore.
The next item, another snake statue, is located in Gaston’s house. In the back right corner of the house, you’ll see the snake on the ground next to some barrels.
The last location is Scrooge McDuck’s shop. The shop also has a snake statue that you’ll spot behind the left stairs. This one is particularly difficult to spot as you have to go around the stairs and stand in front of the shop window to see it.
See if everyone feels normal again
After destroying the three snake statues, it’s time to chat with the villagers again. As you leave Scrooge McDuck’s shop, you’ll see Rapunzel and Scrooge meet to talk about the situation. After this exchange, stop by Gaston to get some important information about Jafar’s plans. It’s time for a trip to the ancient ruins.
Search for Jafar’s secret machine
If you haven’t visited the Ancient Ruins in a while, you’ll find them in the huge cave in the docks of Ancient’s Landing, right next to EVE’s house. Once inside, go into the hole in the middle of the area and run down the hallway to find the source of the problem.
Here you will discover that despite the time you have spent working with him and befriending him, Jafar is still up to no good and has locked Oswald in an energy prison. Jafar reveals that he sees special powers in Oswald and wants to use them to achieve his ambitions. Fortunately, it is not too late to stop him as there is a way to short-circuit the energy sources.
Find the power sources and short circuit them
Use your royal watering can to look for the following energy sources:
- The red essence to the left of the room entrance.
- The red essence behind the stone pillar, directly opposite the first spring.
- The rainbow stone to the right of the room entrance.
Watering these three spots will turn off the machine and distract Jafar, allowing you to break the pillars with your Royal Pickaxe. This will destroy it, save Oswald, and allow you to talk to him about the ordeal. Despite the stress he was probably experiencing, Oswald ultimately decides that you shouldn’t throw Jafar back into his magic lamp, but instead talk to him about the situation. Exit the ancient ruins and look for him on your map to begin completing the quest.
Finding and confronting Jafar will give him one last chance to redeem himself, completing the Gift of the Serpent quest.
