The Winter Warmth Star Path has over 100 complex tasks for you to navigate through in Disney Dreamlight Valley, with plenty of them only giving you vague hints to work with. One such task asks you to dig for special crystals underground.
This task is misleading in multiple ways, making it one of the trickiest ones to solve and complete. It's not too tough once you know what's being asked of you, though, so here's how to dig for special crystals underground in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

What are special crystals underground in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
The special crystals you can find underground for the Winter Warmth Star Path are Vitalys Crystals in DDV. You can find Vitalys Crystals in the Vitalys Mines, which are located inside the cave tucked under the waterfall near the north end of the Sunlit Plateau biome. It's a hidden area that's separate from the main valley.
The wording of this task is quite misleading, as it asks you to "dig" for crystals. You actually need to mine here, so be sure to equip your Royal Pickaxe, not your Royal Shovel, as the description of this duty may lead you to grab the wrong tool or search for the wrong item.
It's also misleading because it tells you to look for crystals "underground." The Vitalys Mines don't feel like they're underground at all, as you enter through a cavern entrance that's on the same level as the rest of the Sunlit Plateau biome. Regardless, Vitalys Crystals are the only gem that works for this mission, so head to the mines to get going on this task.
Vitalys Crystals can be found in any of the dark black rock spots that have glowing blue cracks running through them. They're not guaranteed to drop from these nodes, but they are fairly common when mining in the specified area.
Dig for special crystals underground in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To complete the dig for special crystals underground duty, you need to mine a total of 10 Vitalys Crystals. This can only be done in the Vitalys Mines tucked away through the cave right in the middle of the Sunlit Plateau biome, as this gem cannot be found anywhere else around the valley.
When tackling this mission, be sure to bring a mining villager and have some ore and gem critter Companions equipped at your side. Both the villager and your loyal animal friends may find bonus goodies while you mine. These bonuses won't count for the Star Path task, but since you're putting in the work regardless, it's always worth having allies help you stock up on more resources for the future.
Completing this task gets you 10 Tokens to spend in the Winter Warmth Star Path event. This quest gets you some decent Tokens to spend in the event, but you'll likely need a bit more to get the prize you're after. Luckily, there are loads of other tasks you can complete next, like practicing mine-fulness, crafting a potion you can really "dig," petting your critter Companion, and cooking a fairly fancy appetizer.
