How to complete Running Like Clockwork in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To finish the Running Like Clockwork quest, you need to help Cogsworth try out some ideas for improving the valley and help fix him up when he runs into a strange issue. There are lots of smaller steps along the way, so here's a full breakdown of everything you need to get done.
Craft the Harmonious Screen
Cogsworth's first mission is to have you craft some Harmonious Screens that can be used to hide Vanellope's house, which he thinks is hideous. He's saying what we're all thinking, here, and I'm totally on board with this idea. To hide the house, you need to craft six Harmonious Screens, which can be done using 25 Hardwood and 10 Passion Lily.
Once you've got the screens made, place all six of them close to Vanellope's house, wherever you have it set up in the valley. Mine is tucked away in a corner of the Frosted Heights biome, so that's where I placed them. Talk to Cogsworth once you're done, then listen as Vanellope joins in.
For some reason, she's not happy with the remodeling, so take all the walls you placed down, then talk to Vanellope. Once you're done chatting with her, meet up with Cogsworth to discuss what to do next.
Talk to Moana
Cogsworth thinks the beach is unsafe and needs a lifeguard, so it's up to you to find one. Moana is a master of the sea, so track her down around your valley to see if she's up for the job.
Search Dazzle Beach's sand and water to find Broken Pieces of a Tropical Lifeguard Chair
Moana needs a Tropical Lifeguard Chair to efficiently guard the beach, so scour the entire Dazzle Beach biome to find six pieces of her old chair from when she used to be a lifeguard. The pieces in the sand look like small stacks of brown wooden planks you can dig up with your Royal Shovel, while the ones you can find in the ocean appear in sparkling golden bubble spots that can be fished out of using your Royal Fishing Rod.
The sparkles on the ripple spots seem to be a bit buggy, though, as they appeared and vanished frequently, so fish out of all gold spots to ensure you don't miss the pieces. I had four pieces to dig up and two to fish out of the water, but it might be different for you. The spawn locations of these items are random for all players, too, so you just have to carefully search the full biome until you find what you're seeking.
Craft Tropical Lifeguard Chair
Once you have all six pieces, head to any crafting station around the valley and switch over to the Furniture tab. Select the Tropical Lifeguard Chair to craft this item. Place it somewhere in the Dazzle Beach biome once you've crafted it, then talk to Moana to see what she thinks.
Chat with Cogsworth after you're done with Moana, then track down Stitch around your valley to figure out what he did to Cogsworth. He bumped into Cogsworth pretty hard, and now his gears are loose all around the valley.
Catch Cogworth's Gears
Find three of Cogsworth's Gears, which are flying around the valley. There is one to be found in three different biomes:
- Forest of Valor
- Plaza
- Dazzle Beach
In each area, you're looking for a small, sparkling, golden set of gears zipping around the biome. Cogsworth's Gears are very fast, so you'll likely need to eat some food so you can glide and chase after it. You can't really catch up to them with regular running.
Once you have all three gears, meet up with Cogsworth to return them. Finish talking to him to conclude the Running Like Clockwork quest. There's still plenty to get done around the valley after this mission, like tackling Lumiere's At Your Service quest or learning how to change the Dream Castle skin.
