Disney Dreamlight Valley Mysteries of Skull Rock update patch notes
The Mysteries of Skull Rock update forDDVprimarily focuses oncontinuing the main storylineandbefriending Peter Pan. There are plenty of other features packed into this content expansion, though, so here’s a breakdown of everything it includes.
Two new characters
Peter PanandThe Forgottenare officially unlockable villagers with this update. Both characters come with plenty of friendship quests and rewards to unlock. You can also rename The Forgotten to whatever you like.
Skull Rock
Skull Rockis officially opening as a new explorable area. It’ll function similarly to theMystical Cave, Ariel’s boat, and the Vitalys Mine, so you may venture inside to travel to a vast new region. It’s not aPeter PanRealm, so there’s perhaps still hope one may arrive in a future update with other characters from this film.
The inside of Skull Rock features a massive ship, multiple rocky levels, and seems to have puzzles you need to solve. It’s a vast area hiding many secrets, so even though it’s not a Realm, there’s still plenty to uncover.
Adventures in Neverland Star Path
TheAdventures in Neverland Star Pathevent starts in this update and will run until the next one arrives. As the name hints, all items featured in it are themed around Neverland and the many characters who reside there. So far, all of the items teased to be included in this Star Path are as follows.
Companion improvements
Critter companionsare about to be a lot more useful and unique as they receive several improvements in this update. The first major update is that they’ll all havefriendship rewards, similar to villagers, so you can grow closer to them to unlock new items and abilities. Some of the new abilities allow them to help you out as you tackle tasks around the valley.
Another change is that you may freelynameyour adorable friends whatever you like. All critters can be renamed except for those that are characters from Disney movies and shows like Pua, Figaro, and Hei Hei.
New camera options
This update is quietly adding some fresh camera options and improvements. The main one is the ability tosit downwhen taking pictures, which is a massive win, especially if you regularly participate in DreamSnaps challenges.
There’s at least one additional change arriving in this update, but it’s currently unclear what it is. During thedeveloper livestream on June 4 that revealed the Mysteries of Skull Rock update, anew buttonwas displayed in photo mode near the middle right edge of the screen.
Based on what we saw, I think it could be an idle animation player for all villagers in the picture, so you can more easily capture them in pictures, but we won’t know for sure until the update arrives. There may be even more camera additions that haven’t been revealed yet since these ones were only shown, not mentioned.
Max Premium Bundle
Prince Eric’s loyal dog,Max,is arriving as a new critter companion you’re able to have at your side with a freshThe Little MermaidPremium Bundle.This bundle costs 4,500 Moonstones and comes with a collection of items themed around Max and Prince Eric’s ship. All of the items featured in this collection are as follows.
Max can dig up items around the valley while hanging out with you. He’s also got some adorable camera poses and special interactions with Prince Eric and Ariel when he runs into them around the valley.
