After that, head towards the Glittering Dunes, where you will find crates next to Gaston's Ship. Click a picture of these crates, as they are also affected by rifts. Lastly, make your way to Wild Tangle, where you will find a mysterious boat high up in The Grove region. Once you find the boat, take a picture of it as well.

Return to Merlin

After meeting with the characters and taking pictures of the affected items, go back to Merlin. He will explain that parts of Dreamlight Valley’s past have leaked through to its present due to Jafar’s experiments, which is why everything is losing its colors.

Merlin then suggests you go and meet Oswald, the lucky rabbit, and get to know him better, as he might be the oldest resident of the valley. Since the mystery is linked to the valley's past, Oswald can help you solve it. This will complete the quest.
