Disney Dreamlight Valley: All Fish And Where To Find Them

Become an expert angler by learning where (and when) to catch each type of fish in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

One such dish is Thousand Needles, a curiously named new addition in A Rift in Time. Though the recipe itself isn't complex, gathering its ingredients requires effort and exploration. Here are the details for crafting the Thousand Needles dish in Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time.

How to Make Thousand Needles

Thousand Needles recipe in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Thousand Needles is a three-star appetizer introduced in A Rift in Time that utilizes two new types of seafood, both of which players can catch in only one area of the Glittering Dunes. Crafting this dish involves the following ingredients:

  • Brilliant Blue Starfish
  • Pretty Pink Starfish
  • Cactoberries

This three-star appetizer recovers a whopping 5000 energy and can be sold at Goofy's Stall for 2400 Star Coins. However, the rarity of these ingredients means that while the dish is valuable, it can be challenging for players to prepare it frequently.

Where to Get Ingredients for Thousand Needles

This recipe uses three ingredients to make a plateful of these spectacularly spiky skewers. Two are sourced from fishing, and one is foraged within Eternity Isle.

Brilliant Blue Starfish and Pretty Pink Starfish

Catching Starfish in The Oasis in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Both the Brilliant Blue Starfish and the Pretty Pink Starfish are essential to the Thousand Needles recipe and can be found in a certain pool of water within Eternity Isle. Players can fish for these starfish exclusively in the orange pools located in The Oasis area of the Glittering Dunes biome.

To guarantee orange pools will spawn in which to catch these rare creatures, consider using Miracle Fishing Bait , or Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait. Also, bring along a fishing companion for the extra ingredients they help gather.

Cactoberries

Cactoberries, another unique ingredient required for Thousand Needles, are native fruits of Eternity Isle. These berries flourish on bushes in The Borderlands and The Oasis areas of the Glittering Dunes biome. Players can gather two berries from each bush every 45 minutes, with the potential for more when accompanied by a companion with the Foraging role.
