How does The Haunted Floating Festival event work in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
The Haunted Floating Festival takes place on a special, seasonal floating island in the sky that you can visit to tackle limited-time event tasks. While all other events focus on missions and items found around the valley, this one takes place in an entirely separate region that's only available to visit while the event is live.
How to complete The Haunted Floating Festival event in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To finish The Haunted Floating Festival event, you need to navigate through five unique puzzles. Not all of these puzzles are available right away, and each one has several smaller tasks to work through, so getting all of them done takes quite a while.
All The Haunted Floating Festival puzzles in Disney Dreamlight Valley
There are five puzzles featured throughout The Haunted Floating Festival event. Three are available with the launch of the event on Oct. 22, then another will unlock on Oct. 29, and the final one launches on Nov. 5.
| Puzzle | Unlock Date | Task |
|---|---|---|
| Ghostly Critter puzzle | Oct. 22 | Find the ghost fox Zero roaming around the island and feed him his favorite food. This critter's favorite food is the Haunted Skeleton Fish, which can be found around Zero's grave. Feed the critter once daily for four days to collect four Memory Shards and complete the event memory. Then, travel to the location pictured in the Memory, which is the Haunted Mansion Hearse, to dig up your reward. |
| Combination Pillar puzzle | Oct. 22 | Place all four motifs on the pillar beneath the right number. You can find the motifs on tiles scattered around the island and use the pumpkins that appear by them to determine where each one goes. The solution to this puzzle is: 1 – Web 2 – Bat 3 – Witch Hat 4 – Cat |
| Terror-rific Tree puzzle | Oct. 22 | Offer certain items to the tree in the correct order to solve this one. A nearby book tells you what you need to know to get this one done, which is 20 Black Feathers, 15 Bony Fish, and 10 Pale Blooms. You can find Haunted Crow Feathers by the scarecrow, Haunted Skeleton Fish by Zero's grave, and Haunted White Roses by the Haunted Mansion. |
| Potion Brewer's House puzzle | Oct. 29 | Enter the Potion Brewer's House, hidden away behind the ruined castle walls on The Haunted Floating Festival island. Find the sparkling blue book sitting on a table near the back of the room to uncover a series of hints. Each hint instructs you to find a specific ingredient. You then need to venture to all ingredient locations to find the required items. “A thorny bloom of petals white” refers to Haunted White Roses found by the Haunted Mansion. “A feline fish” refers to Catfish fished up around the Peaceful Meadow biome. “Two fleshless fish” refers to Haunted Skeleton Fish found by Zero's grave. “A fish that is always en garde” refers to Swordfish caught from the Dazzle Beach biome. Once you have all the required items, return to the house and interact with the massive cauldron. Toss all of them inside to brew the potion and finish the puzzle. |
| Haunted Mansion puzzle | Nov. 5 | TBA |
