How to complete The Skunk Rebellion in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete The Skunk Rebellion quest, you need to assemble a Skunk army to get Cruella to give you the Crystal Key you need. It's a pretty complex process to work through, so here's a full breakdown of all key steps.
Talk to Cruella
To get The Skunk Rebellion quest officially going, you need to start by chatting with Cruella. After all of your hard work in The Decay of Fashion and The De Vil Crash quests, she seems to be finally ready to help you get the Crystal Key you need.
Look for the key in the trunk of Cruella’s car
Walk over to Cruella's car in the middle of the Quarry area. Approach the front seat area and look for sparkles near it. Press the interact button to grab what’s inside. Cruella promised you the Crystal Key, but instead, you find a bag of Seed Samples.

Bring the Seed Samples to Cruella
Find Cruella and chat with her about the Seed Samples you found. She’s still playing games and refusing to tell you where the key you need is, so it’s off on yet another tangent you go.
Talk to the dry-cleaning girl
Cruella told you to find a "dry-cleaning girl" who is pasty and wears yellow and blue clothes. This, of course, refers to Snow White, so track her down around Wishblossom Ranch to have a chat.
Gather the materials for the Skunk houses
Snow White knows of some Skunks who can help, but to get them on your side, you first need to build some Skunk houses. Before you can make them, you need to gather the right materials, including:
- 10 Beady Soil – Can be dug up from the ground anywhere around Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.
- Five Black Silk Flower – Can be found growing in the wild all throughout Glamour Gulch, including Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau.
- Three Red Silk Flower – Grows in the wild randomly throughout Glamour Gulch, including around the Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau areas.
- Two Jasper – Can be mined from rock spots throughout Glamour Gulch, including in the mined from rock spots around Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau regions.

Craft a house for the Skunks
With all of the materials gathered, find a crafting table around Wishblossom Ranch or place one down yourself. By default, there’s one by your house in the Wishing Way area and down in the Quarry in the Paisley Park region.
Switch over to the Furniture tab and select the Elegant Skunk House item to craft. Then, open up Furniture mode and place it anywhere you like around the vast Glamour Gulch region. I chose to place mine close to the Quarry since this seems to be where most quests unfold, but any location you like in this biome works.
Find a flag outside a cave bearing the face of a fashionable Skunk
You've won over the Skunks, so it's time to find their leader's flag. Your next mission is to hunt down a flag outside a cave bearing the face of a fashionable Skunk. This cave is situated near the east end of Glamour Gulch, which is in the Runway River region. There are two flag banners situated on either side of it, making it fairly easy to spot once you know where to look.

Talk to Professor Mouffette
Head inside the cave in Runway River to find the extremely fashionable Professor Mouffette. Interact with him to chat about the situation, or rather, have Snow Whtie translate for both you and the Skunk. Then, follow Snow White up to the Haute Plateau region, approach the massive metal bridge, and chat with Snow White.
Replace the lever in the bridge mechanism for Cruella's Fortress
Walk into the small tunnel near the edge of the bridge and look for the sparkles on the right wall. Interact with it to place the lever Snow White gave you, then flip the switch to lower the bridge. Cross the bridge to enter the fortress and start the rebellion.
Deactivate the barking greyhound statues without getting caught by the mannequins
Cruella's estate is well protected, so you've got a bit of work to do before the Skunk rebellion can truly begin, starting with deactivating three greyhound statues. All three are guarded by some mannequin guards, similar to the card guards you may have encountered when unlocking Cheshire Cat and Alice.

You need to move carefully and swiftly past the guards while avoiding getting caught in their lights to reach and power down each statue around the area. The first two statues are visible from where you spawn into the area.
The first greyhound statue is situated to your left, just past a low hedge and two mannequin guards. You can walk right down the middle to get to this one whenever the mannequins are looking away, and it's the easiest statue to turn off.
The second greyhound statue is north of your spawn point, right behind the two small greenhouses close to the stone fence. Head around either the left or right side of the greenhouse, watch the mannequin's spotlight pattern, and walk through when it's pointed towards the fence.
The third greyhound statue is behind the massive mansion. From your spawn point, head north over to the greenhouses where the second statue is located. Turn right toward the mansion and make your way around the back. Once the spotlights are pointed at the fence, creep forward slightly, then rush through once they move out of your way.

As soon as the third statue is turned off, a cutscene will play as all the Skunks arrive to storm the mansion. Then, Cruella will show up to have a chat with you so you can hammer out an agreement.
Place Cruella's house in one of the main areas in Glamour Gulch
The Crystal Key you seek is inside Cruella's house, but she can't get inside, so you need to fix it up for her. Enter Furniture mode, select Cruella's quest icon, and place her home anywhere around Glamour Gulch. This includes the Runway River, Paisley Park, Modish Marsh, and Haute Plateau areas.
Interact with the Scrooge McDuck sign in front of it to spend 15,000 Star Coins and build Cruella's house. As soon as you do, Cruella will be unlocked as a villager, you'll get the Crystal Key you need, Professor Mouffette will be unlocked as a Companion, and The Skunk Rebellion quest will be complete. Now that you've got the second Crystal Key you need, it's time to tackle the Crystal Caverns: Glamour Gulch quest.
