How to Start the Quest "A Prince in Disguise"

Starting the quest "A Prince in Disguise" in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

The quest “A Prince in Disguise” becomes available immediately upon completing the first quest in the Beauty and the Beast Realm, “Into The West Wing.” After turning in that quest to Belle, the player can turn around and speak to The Beast to start the next part of the quest series to unlock Belle and The Beast as residents of Dreamlight Valley.

How to Complete the Quest "A Prince in Disguise"

The Beast in Dreamlight Valley

After the events of the previous quest, Beast confides in the player his desire to give Belle a special gift as an apology and to show his appreciation. He tells the player that he owns an Enchanted Mirror that can reveal the perfect gift for Belle. However, he had instructed Lumière to lock the mirror away in a magic chest, and had the key to this chest broken into three parts.

The only way to get into the chest is to locate the pieces of the key is by solving riddles left by Lumière, and The Beast admits he’s not very good at puzzles. The player offers to help and this starts the quest, "A Prince in Disguise."

Solve the Clues to Find the Key Pieces

Lumière has provided vague hints to find the three essential pieces. The challenge also lies in what isn't mentioned in these hints. To obtain the Key Pieces, the player will not only have to find the correct location but also use a specific Royal Tool at each location to retrieve the Key Piece.

Here’s how to find and collect all three Key Pieces for The Beast’s quest, "A Prince in Disguise," in Disney Dreamlight Valley:

All Key Pieces Locations

Hot Place

Visit the fireplace in the library and use the Royal Watering Can.

Where Silence Roars

Visit the left lion statue upstairs and use the Royal Pickaxe to break it.

Thorny Place

Visit the garden and use the Royal Shovel in the glowing spot near the lamppost at the middle of the maze.

Return to Beast with Key Pieces

After gathering the three Key Pieces, return to The Beast in the West Wing. The Beast will reassemble the key and request that the nearby chest be opened. Now that the player has the key, they can retrieve the Enchanted Mirror from the chest and hand it over to The Beast.

Craft the Perfect Gift for Belle

Peering into the Enchanted Mirror reveals a scene depicting Belle writing while surrounded by books. Inspired by this vignette, the player suggests that a Book Kit would make a great gift for Belle. The Beast agrees, and the player sets off to Dreamlight Valley to collect the following materials:

How to Get

Fiber can be created at a crafting table using one Seaweed to make five pieces of Fiber. May also be sold at Kristoff's Stall.

The first three ingredients are fairly standard fare for crafting in Dreamlight Valley, but the last one is a special piece players will have to head to the right villager to obtain. The last required material is a Feather, which can be obtained by visiting Scrooge McDuckin his Store. He’ll hand over one of his Feathers at no charge and, with the other materials collected, the player can use his crafting table to assemble the Book Kit.

Help The Beast Prepare to Apologize

Hand the grooming items over to The Beast and while nothing about his appearance seems to change, his attitude has certainly improved, and he’s ready to head out to the garden to meet up with Belle. Follow The Beast into the garden maze, where he’ll encounter Belle and will deliver both the Book Kit and his apology.

Once their discussion is finished, the player can speak with Belle, who again expresses interest in visiting Dreamlight Valley and believes she can convince The Beast to come along now that they’ve patched things up.

Place Beast’s Castle in Dreamlight Valley

To complete construction, interact with the Scrooge McDuck sign and fork over his construction fee of 20,000 gold. Once Beast’s Castle is constructed, Belle will immediately move into the Valley. Belle provides the player with a note to deliver to The Beast back in the Beauty and the Beast Realm.
