Players have a variety of tools at their disposal to freely use in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Most activities require a specific tool, like Mining requires the Royal Pickaxe and Gardening requires both the Royal Shovel and the Watering Can. Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time introduces a new tool called the Royal Hourglass.

As players have guessed from the name, the Royal Hourglass allows the wielder to manipulate time and space to restore certain items. Dreamers can also use it to search for treasures in any area within Eternity Isle or the Dreamlight Valley.

How To Use The Royal Hourglass Tool In Disney Dreamlight Valley

There are many features introduced with the Royal Hourglass tool in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Find Hidden Treasures

Equip the Royal Hourglass and press Space or Left Mouse Button on the PC to use it and release some sand that will point players to a specific location. Keep following the sand and watch it change from blue to yellow, and then finally red as Dreamers get closer to the treasure. Once they are close enough, a gold swirl of sand will appear and players must press the action button (Space or E on PC) repeatedly to claim the artifact.

Take Advantage Of Time Rifts

Sometimes, while exploring the areas, Dreamers will encounter a floating time sphere. Approach it and use the Hourglass tool on it to open a time rift. Usually, players have to walk a considerable distance while using the Royal tool to obtain an artifact. However, in the limited circle of the time rift, it’s possible to locate countless treasurers during a certain time. Be careful while inside the rift, as stepping out of the circle before the timer ends will lead to its disappearance before collecting available treasures.

Use Timebending Table

Some of the items found using the Royal Hourglass are Timebending artifacts that can be used to create special items using the Timebending Table. Dreamers can create furniture, wallpaper, and even flooring for more variety while building.
