After a conversation with Remy, the player will learn that he's struggling to recreate a recipe for a magical frozen dessert.

Night Shards can be obtained by digging at sparkling dig spots scattered throughout the valley, while Dream Shards can be obtained by clearing Night Thorns that have infiltrated the Valley. These items can't really be farmed, so it may take some time to collect enough of each if the player doesn’t already have the materials on hand.

Once the player has crafted the Purified Night Shards, they will need to crush them into powder. Seek out WALL·E, the expert in compacting objects, and give him the shards. WALL·E will return them as a vial of Purified Night Shard Powder.

Collect 15 Snowballs and Craft Ice Slush
