As the protagonist in Disney Dreamlight Valley, it’s necessary to increase the Friendship level with residents in the village and help them solve any problem. Mother Gothel from Tangled, for example, requires some help researching the Sun’s Scroll she got from players in My Kingdom For a Scroll Quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

In the Shine a Light Quest, she manages to do some research before reaching a blocked road, which is why she requests Dreamers' help. In this Friendship Quest, it’s crucial to collect a ton of materials in Disney Dreamlight Valley to create the three Sunlit Torches requested by Mother Gothel.

The latter can be unlocked by completing the With Great Power Quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Once inside, head to the lowest level and place the three torches on their corresponding spots.

After a few seconds, the monument will glow and players have to take a picture. Any pose or angle is fine as long as the Sunlit Torches and monument appear in the image.
