It’s time to bring a little emotion to Disney Dreamlight Valley as Joy and Sadness from Inside Out have finally arrived in the valley… well, once you unlock them.
While unlocking all the recipes, mining all the gems, or completing the tricky quests and the Star Path are the best parts of DDV, nothing quite compares to unlocking all the game’s various characters, from Lion King’s Nala and Simba, to the more recent Aurora and Maleficent (if you have the expansion that is).
Well, now all players have the chance to unlock a brand new set of characters, Joy and Sadness, as part of the newest update, Emotional Rescue. So, here’s how to unlock the two emotions and add them to your Valley.
How to unlock Joy and Sadness
Open the Inside Out Realm
Before you can meet the new characters, you’ll need to unlock the Inside Out Realm. To do this, head into the Dreamlight Castle and head to the far right door on the top floor.
Then, interact with it and spend 15,000 Dreamlight to open it. With that, you’ll be able to begin the questlines.
Complete Emotional Rescue
Once you’ve interacted with the door, you’ll be met with a confused Merlin and a dull Memory Orb. It’s up to you to restore the memory so you can enter the Realm.
Cook up a joyous dish and find Night Thorns
To do this you need to cook a dish that brings you joy, and take a picture of a Night Thorn. Head outside the Castle and find your nearest cooking pot.
You’ll be directed to cook various ‘happy meals’, so select one marked by the blue quest icon and cook it up. We suggest something simple, like Apple Pie or My Hero Cookies.
Then, head outside and look for a Night Thorn. Use your camera and you’ll be ready to enter the Realm.
Help Joy fix the console
When you get inside, you’ll see a rather concerned Joy who explains that the console has broken and that they’re not able to look after Riley. Naturally, it’s up to you to find the parts and fix the problem.
The parts are in the following locations:
- Behind the left Sofa
- Behind the right Sofa
- Near the wall behind the right Sofa
- In the tunnel on the right
- By the crafting table
- By the wall near the crafting table
- By the right-hand ramp.
It’s worth noting that you’ll need four items in total, but one needs to be crafted. So, when you’re near the crafting table, head inside and create the Caution Sliders.
When you have all the items, head to the console and place the Caution Sliders, Curiosity Sliders, Envy Button, and the Curiosity Adjuster inside.
Joy will thank you and explain that there’s an issue with the long-term memories, meaning you need to fix them before Riley can remember things.
To do that, head over to the memory wall and interact with the gray pillars with the red buttons. Do so in the following order:
- Press the left button once.
- Press the right button once.
With that, the memory will be free, and you’ll be instructed to move the next sliders. To do so, follow the same steps as above.
The memories will be working again, prompting Joy to ask you to look for Sadness. But before that, you’ll need to find some Mind Worker Safety gear.
This is found in the lockers on the back right of the realm. Interact with the Sadness one, so the blue raindrop, and you’ll unlock two new clothing bags.
Open them, put them on, and head over to the elevator in the middle of the Realm. Then, you’ll be onto the next quest.
As we go through the questlines, we’ll be updating this article, so keep refreshing for more details.
