The great mystery behind Disney Dreamlight Valley’s strange colored potatoes has finally been revealed as players have discovered the use for the splendiferous spuds that have popped up in previous game updates. In the game’s "The Remembering Update," players can embark on a quest to rescue Dreamlight Valley from the manipulative Forgotten, who has been tampering with the memories of the valley's residents and generally causing trouble left and right.
Progressing through this quest, players will gain access to a special area that will reveal the magical reward at the end of the mysterious potato trail: the Rainbow Fox companion pet. The discovery of the Rainbow Fox companion is the result of extensive exploration and puzzle-solving efforts from the members of Disney Dreamlight Valley's community, specifically the clever minds of the Solving the Secrets Discord. Here’s everything players need to know about obtaining all the colored potatoes and unlocking the Rainbow Fox companion pet in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
How To Get The Rainbow Fox Companion In Disney Dreamlight Valley
To obtain the Rainbow Fox companion in Disney Dreamlight Valley, players need to gather all six colored potatoes and use them to create their corresponding potions. Once all six potions are combined, the player will receive a Rainbow Potion. To make the Rainbow Potion in Disney Dreamlight Valley, the player will need to have crafted these six potions using their respective colored potatoes and any other necessary reagents:
- Royal Purple Potion
- Brilliant Blue Potion
- Crystalline Green Potion
- Gleaming Gold Potion
- Electrifying Orange Potion
- Raging Red Potion
Once the player has crafted all six potions, they can use them to make the Rainbow Potion at the crafting table. The Rainbow Potion can be found in the Potion & Enchantment category only after the player has crafted all six potions. This magical Rainbow Potion is the key to unlocking the Rainbow Fox companion.
After creating the Rainbow Potion, the player should travel to the Dark Castle with the potion in their inventory. This twisted version of the Dream Castle becomes accessible during the "The Dark Castle" quest, the thrilling finale to the initial storyline of Disney Dreamlight Valley. If the player has already finished this quest, they can enter the Dark Castle again by interacting with the shadowy portal located near the fountain at the Plaza's center.
Inside the Dark Castle, the player should clear a path through the Night Thorns heading toward the right side of the room. Alongside the wall, they will come across a fireplace and a bed, with a small stone statue of a fox sitting on the ground between them. Interact with the Cursed Fox Statue and insert the Rainbow Potion in the window that pops up. This will enchant the stone statue and cause a magical rainbow fox to appear in its place.
This unlocks the Rainbow Fox companion pet in Disney Dreamlight Valley. The player can now summon this companion just like any other by opening the Wardrobe menu and clicking the Companions category button.
