How to complete The Corvid Companion in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To finish The Corvid Companion quest, you need to venture back into The Unwritten Realms and help Maleficent be reunited with her raven friend. There's a lot to get done along the way, so here's a full breakdown of all key steps in this quest.
Cook a Chimera Skewer for Maleficent's Raven
After talking to Maleficent to initiate this task, you need to get to work cooking up a Chimera Skewer that can be used to lure the raven out. This is a five-star dish that has quite a few hard-to-get ingredients.
| Ingredient | How to get |
|---|---|
| Hippocampus | Can be fished out of white ripple spots in water around the Mythopia biome. |
| Trumpet Snail | Can be foraged from the ground around The Bind biome. |
| Flying Fish | Can be fished out of all open water around the Mythopia biome. |
| Stygian Mudskipper | Can be fished out of gold ripple spots in water around the Mythopia biome. |
| Brussels Sprout | Can be found growing on bushes in the Everafter biome. |
Talk to the Lorekeeper
Once you have the Chimera Skewer made, head to The Library of Lore to have a chat with the Lorekeeper. You need their help to track down Maleficent's missing raven. The way back to The Unwritten Realms is blocked, though, so you need to solve a new puzzle to gain entry.
Solve the new floor puzzle to unlock the portal to the Unwritten Realms
To spawn a new door that allows you to reach The Unwritten Realms, you need to solve another floor tile puzzle. This one is very similar to the floor tile puzzle you initially solved to reach The Unwritten Realms.
Your goal with this one is to remake a new silhouette of Maleficent with her raven. To do so, you need to:
- Interact with the first post twice to spin the tile piece two times.
- Interact with the second post three times to spin the tile three times.
- Interact with the third post twice to spin the tile piece two times.
- Interact with the fourth post once to spin the tile piece once.
Once the puzzle is done, you can venture back through the book right above it to enter the Realm.
Find a Magic Quill to ask about Maleficent's raven
You don't know where to look for the ravne, so head over to the Magic Quill working behind the desk to ask for assistance. They tell you to check the lost and found, but also that you need to acquire some keys before you can reach this area.
Explore The Unwritten Realms to find the three keys
Next, you need to recover three keys from around The Unwritten Realms. These keys can be found:
- Buried in the ground – In a dig spot near a Magic Quill and some desks. It's close to a coffee and smoothie bar setup on the second floor.
- Behind some Inkies – On the other side of the bridge, straight across from the entrance to this region. It's a yellow key on the ground near a desk and some filing cabinets.
- Near some filing cabinets – Underneath a filing cabinet, you have to interact with and move on the very top floor of this Realm. This one is also near a Magic Quill and a portal.
Find the room with three locks and use the keys you found
With all three keys in your inventory, you now need to find the gate that grants access to the lost and found area. The locked gate is right next to where you found the third key, on the right side of the coffee and smoothie bar area. Interact with it to transfer over the three keys and gain entry.
Claim the Drawbridge Lever from the chest
Head through the gate to access a new area. Inside, you'll spot a green chest you can open to claim a Drawbridge Lever. Once you have it, head all the way back down to the waiting room, which is close to the entrance of the Realm.
Lower the drawbridge near the Waiting Room by using the Drawbridge Lever
Look for the black feathers on the ground to find the gate with the drawbridge in the waiting room. When you find it, walk up to the post that's missing a lever and transfer over the Drawbridge Lever. Cross over the now lowered bridge to progress.
Lower the suspended cage and find a key to unlock the cage door
Maleficent's raven is locked in a cage on the other side of the bridge, so it's up to you to now find a way to lower it and free the bird. While facing the cage, turn left and walk around the side. Head up the stairs and look for some rocks you can break with your Royal Pickaxe to grab a key.
Head back down the stairs and proceed around to the back of the area with the cage. Walk up the stairs located there and equip your Royal Net to hit the golden wheel you find there. Doing so lowers the raven to the ground so you can then free them. Interact with the cage to use the key you found.
Bring the Chimera Skewer to Maleficent's raven
Once the cage is open, you can interact with Maleficent's raven to feed it the Chimera Skewer you cooked up earlier. After feeding this critter, exit The Unwritten Realms and head back to the Vale. Meet up with Maleficent to chat about what happened when you do.
Craft the Luxury Corvid Perch
To help her friend feel more at home, Maleficent wants you to make a Luxury Corvid Perch they can use. You need to gather all of the required resources to make it, then craft this item in the Furnture section at any crafting station.
| Material | Quantity | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Petrified Wood | 15 | Can be mined from around Everafter and The Bind. |
| Sea Monster Tooth | Five | Can be mined around Mythopia. |
| Marble | 10 | Can be fished out of blue ripple spots in Everafter. White ripple spots may sometimes drop them too. |
| Mud | 15 | Can be found by digging in The Bind and Everafter. |
Place the Luxury Corvid Perch in Everafter close to Maleficent's Castle
With the required item now made, open furniture mode near Maleficent's Castle and place the Luxury Corvid Perch close to it. You can find her castle near the very northern end of Everafter in The Beanstalk Marshes region. After this is done, chat with her one last time to wrap up The Corvid Companion quest.
