Two new characters have arrived in Disney Dreamlight Valley, this time complementing an already present realm. However, unlocking Cogsworth and Lumiere in the new update isn’t easy, even if they only want you to be their guest.
You may have wondered how Belle and Beast’s castle was so spotless the last time you visited (aside from The Forgetting playing its part, of course). Well, now we finally know, as the beloved cursed servants have officially been added to Disney Dreamlight Valley.
However, despite their love for hosting guests, actually unlocking these characters and inviting them into your Valley isn’t easy. So, here’s exactly how to do it.
How to unlock Cogsworth and Lumiere
Open the Beauty and the Beast Realm & Unlock Belle and Beast
Before you can access Cogsworth and Lumiere’s questlines, you’ll need to unlock the Beauty and the Beast Realm and complete its quests.
To do so, follow our guide for unlocking Belle and The Beast, as you’ll need these to get the next two characters.
The Haunting of the Beast’s Castle
To activate the first quest, read a letter in your mailbox from Beast, who’s concerned about his friends and asks you to head back into the Realm and check up on them.
Naturally, that’s exactly what you should do. Head to the third floor of the Dreamlight Castle and enter the Beauty and the Beast Realm.
Once inside, head straight down the corridor and follow the path until you see Lumiere in the library. Speak to him and he’ll ask you to brighten the place up.
Craft Fireplace Fuel
To do this, you need to light the Fireplace. Head into the hidden passage just to the right of Lumiere, and you’ll see a box against the wall you came in through. Inside, there are three different ingredients.
Then, head to the Fireplace, and put in three ‘Canoli’ to make the Fireplace Fuel. With that, head back to Lumiere, give him the items, and he’ll explain that something odd is happening to the castle.
Catch the painting
There’s a flying painting, which you, of course, need to catch. Luckily, the painting is in the room you’re in, so just run after it and you’ll catch it in no time.
Once you do, head back to the main corridor where you entered the castle. To the left of you is a grand piano. When you get to this, you’ll see swirling patterns indicating you put the painting here. Place it in, and pick up the rewards.
With that done, speak to Lumiere, who will explain that he thinks there’s a ghost about the castle. It’s here where you’re asked to make a choice. We chose to believe in ghosts, but it seems there could be some differences depending on your answer.
Visit the garden
With that, you’ll be instructed to head to the garden. Once there, speak to Lumiere and begin cleaning up around the maze.
You want to get to the middle as soon as you can, as Cogsworth is waiting for you. When you do, speak to him and meet up with the two shortly after. Plenty more ghost talk will continue, and you’ll have completed this quest.
A Growing Mystery
Find the Rose Seeds
To start the next quest, speak to Cogsworth, who will ask you to replant the roses. But first, you need to find the seeds.
The seeds are found in the Beast’s room. Head back to where you originally came into the realm, and just before that, you’ll see his room, tucked by some Lion statues.
In a box, on the right-hand side of the room, you’ll find the four Rose Seeds. Once you do, head back to the Garden and plant them in the middle of the maze.
Craft Rose Fertilizer
Oddly enough, the Roses aren’t growing. So, speak to Cogsworth again and craft some Rose Fertilizer using the following ingredients:
- 8 Castle Softwood: Found in the maze
- 3 Rich Soil: Dig dirt in the Valley
- 3 Castle Stone: Found by breaking rocks in the maze
Head to the nearest crafting table (there’s one in the garden) and craft Rose Fertilizer. When you’ve done that, go into your inventory and put it on your watering can. Then, go back to the middle of the maze and water the bushes. Roses will appear.
Place the roses in vases
Lastly, just head back to the piano room near the start of the realm and place three roses in the empty white vases surrounding the room. Despite having six, you only need to place three.
This will drop a key and another page. Speak to the two, and they’ll reveal that you need to find one more key. With that, the quest is over.
During the dialogue, you’re asked to make another decision, we chose: “It’s definitely a ghost! Things are just too strange to explain otherwise.”
As we complete the quests, we’ll be updating this article, so refresh if you’re stuck!
