How to complete Out of the Blue in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Out of the Blue quest, you need to work your way through Long Term Memory and find Sadness. Just like in the Inside Out movies, this area is quite tricky to navigate, so here's a full walkthrough for all parts of this tough quest.
Find Sadness in Long Term Memory
Your first task is simply to find Sadness in Long Term Memory, but to even enter this area, you need to solve another flipper puzzle, similar to the ones you tackled in the Emotional Rescue quest. Approach the three consoles by the wall and interact with the button on the far right first. Next, hit the button on the far left. With both buttons pressed in this order, the wall will drop, unlocking a pathway forward.

Once you're on the other side, turn left and continue following the pathway. When you reach a branch where you have the option to go left or right, head left again. Go around the corner and approach two more flipper consoles waiting for you.
Press the button on the left first, then hit the one on the right. The wall in front of you will drop, and on the other side, you'll find Sadness cowering in a corner. Approach her to have a chat about what's going on. She's not ready to head back up yet, as she's still got some memories to find.
Search Long Term Memory for music notes played by Piano Lesson Musical Memories
Before you can head back up to meet Joy, Sadness needs your help finding some Piano Lesson Musical Memories. There are four of them hidden around Long Term Memory, all of which are marked by small moving yellow musical notes floating by the wall. Here's where to find them.
- The first Piano Lesson Musical Memory is right behind Sadness.
- The second Piano Lesson Musical Memory is right around the corner of the entrance, near the wall you first dropped to enter Long Term Memory. It's close to a cart with some orbs stacked on it.
- The third Piano Lesson Musical Memory is behind a flipper puzzle near the Realm entrance. Interact with the button on the left first, then the button in the middle second, to drop the wall and reveal the music notes behind it.
- The fourth Piano Lesson Musical Memory is behind a flipper puzzle, right around the corner from where you met up with Sadness. Press the button on the left first, then hit the button in the middle to remove the wall and access the music notes behind it.

While trying to collect these memories, you might encounter a bug with the walls blocking the path forward dropping down, and immediately rising again. If this happens, quit the game and reload to fix the issue.
Once you have all four Piano Lesson Musical Memories, talk to Sadness. Head back over to the Long Term Memory entrance with her and have a chat once you're there to progress to the next step. Transfer over all four Piano Lesson Musical Memories to the table next to her, then interact with the table a second time to send the memories up to Headquarters.
Chat with Sadness one last time, then head back up to Headquarters to meet up with Joy. As soon as you do, the Out of the Blue quest will officially be complete, and you're one step closer to unlocking both Joy and Sadness.
If you're not sure what to do next, consider tackling all Retro Roadtrip Star Path duties, making a Joyful Meal, and working through all week one routine duties.
