While players are exploring the Forest of Valor and the Frosted Heights in Disney Dreamlight Valley, they will encounter numerous tree stumps that are covered with mushrooms. As with much of the terrain in this life sim game, these stumps act as obstacles that fans must remove in order to continue their progression. For those players that may be unclear about how they are to bypass mushroom-covered tree stumps in Disney Dreamlight Valley, this guide is here to provide assistance.
Disney Dreamlight Valley: How to Remove Mushroom Tree Stumps
The first step toward removing these pesky tree stumps is to travel to the Frozen Realm through a portal on the second floor of the Dream Castle. To open this portal, players must spend 4,000 Dreamlight, and they will be tasked with assisting Anna and Elsa upon arrival. After completing the Realm Quests for these Frozen sisters, Disney fans will have the opportunity to invite Anna to Dreamlight Valley, and that is exactly what they should do.
Once Anna has made her way to Dreamlight Valley, players should speak with her and give her gifts to reach Friendship Level 2. Upon attaining this level, players should speak with Anna again and initiate her Friendship Quest, An Icy Invitation. This quest ultimately grants fans the ability to upgrade their Shovels in Disney Dreamlight Valley, and the Shovel Blade that they attach to the tool has the ability to remove mushroom tree stumps.
For the sake of full clarity, the Shovel upgrade is performed at a Crafting Table, and it requires ten Softwood, four Hardwood, three Tinkering Parts, and four Iron Ingots. The woods that are needed for the Shovel Blade can be found near trees in many areas, and the Iron Ingots and Tinkering Parts can be crafted using Iron Ore as a foundation. While none of these materials are particularly difficult to obtain, fans of life sim games will need to put some amount of effort toward upgrading their Shovels.
To note, there is also a tool upgrade to be earned by working through a Friendship Quest from Elsa. More specifically, this upgrade makes it possible to break through ice that appears on Dazzle Beach and in Frosted Heights. Players that love to explore in video games should thus make sure to prioritize visiting the Frozen Realm and befriending its characters, as doing so will allow them to enter a variety of areas that were previously inaccessible.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
