How to complete A Storm of Stories in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Claim the mailbox message
Head to any mailbox to claim the message sent from the Lorekeeper. You must open this letter to initiate the second half of the storyline. It's best to open a mailbox over at The Storybook Vale since this is where the rest of the quest unfolds.
Talk to the Lorekeeper
Venture to The Library of Lore and approach the Lorekeeper, the floating book in the very center of the area. Chat with them to discuss what's going on. A sickness has overtaken the Vale and is erasing its villagers, so it's up to you to fix it.
Follow Merida to the mysterious whirlwind in The Bind
Meet up with Merida around the Vale to chat about this issue. She's disappearing, and says it all started with a strange storm that's overtaken The Bind biome. Follow her over to the bridge to investigate this stage storm. Have another chat with Merida once you're standing by it.
Catch the Shadowy Bird Snippets
As soon as you approach the storm, a bunch of new Snippets come flying out. Catching them may help you solve what's going on, so your next task is to catch all five Shadowy Bird Snippets. They're fast, but all stay around the general bridge area, so equip your Royal Net and get to catching.
Pick up the Mysterious Story Page
After catching the Snippets, a strange page will appear near the location where you previously found the storm. Approach this floating Mysterious Story Page and pick it up. Talk to Merida again, and she'll realize this page is part of her story. Reflecting on it fixes the sickness that was plaguing her so she's no longer disappearing.
Talk to Flynn
Meet up with Flynn around the Vale to see how he's faring with the sickness. He's also struggling, so you need to find a way to restore him to himself, just like you did for Merida. Luckily, he knows exactly where to look.
Follow Flynn to the mysterious whirlwind in Everafter
Head to the Everafter biome with Flynn, down to the very south end of the area where you previously completed a Trial. There's another mysterious whirlwind in the area, so chat with Flynn about it.
Catch the Shadowy Frog Snippets
Interacting with the whirlwind causes more Snippets to spawn, this time in frog form. Catch the five Shadowy Frog Snippets running around where the mysterious whirlwind was to progress.
Pick up Flynn's moment
Once the Shadowy Frog Snippets have been cleared away, a new floating page will appear near the Trial area. Pick up Flynn's moment to help him become whole again and chat with him to complete the process.
Follow Hades to the mysterious whirlwind in Mythopia
There's one more villager experiencing the strange disappearing sickness, so track down Hades next. To help him out, you first need to follow him to the mysterious whirlwind in Mythopia. This one is located near the north end of the biome, up by Mount Olympus.
Catch the Shadowy Demon Snippets
This time, you need to catch five Shadowy Demon Snippets that spawn from the storm. All of them stay around the same spot where the mysterious whirlwind spawned, so catching them is fairly easy. You do have to hit each one a few times with your Royal Net before you can get them, though.
Collect Hades' story page
Capturing the five Snippets allows Hades' memory to spawn, so grab the story page and pass it over to him to help him become whole again. With this done, all three Vale villagers are back to normal, but there's still a larger problem that needs to be fixed.
Talk to the Lorekeeper
Meet up with the Lorekeeper in The Library of Lore biome again to chat about what happened. They don't know what to do either, but think solving a puzzle may help unravel what's going on.
Complete Maleficient's Journey
Chat with the Lorekepper and select the "I want to reorder stories" option. Choose the Maleficient's Journey puzzle and spend the Shadow Snippets you previously caught to unlock it. Place all of the puzzle pieces in the correct spots to get it done. You can see where each one needs to go below.
Figure out how to arrange the tiles on the floor in The Library of Lore to pass into The Unwritten Realms
Completing this puzzle reveals that Maleficent is trapped in The Unwritten Realms, so you now need to find your way there. To do so, you need to solve a tile puzzle in the middle of the room. Your goal is to move the pieces until they form a picture of Maleficent.
It's a decently tricky puzzle to solve, so if you get stuck on this one, here's how we got it done.
- Interact with the first post until the section with a face on it is pointing east, towards the Mythopia biome. It took me three spins to get it facing the right way.
- Interact with the second post until the horns are facing directly north. It took me two spins to get it facing the right way.
- Interact with the third post until the section with the bottom of a scepter and an orb are facing south. It only took me one spin to get this part where it needed to be.
Enter The Unwritten Realms
Once the tile puzzle is complete, a massive book will appear floating right above it. Approach this book and interact with it to venture into a new region called The Unwritten Realms. As soon as you enter this new region, the A Storm of Stories quest will be complete, but you still have more work to do if you want to unlock Maleficent.
