How to place everything in the right spots so the critters aren’t scared in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The finale of The Storybook Vale DLC is packed with puzzles you need to solve in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Most of these puzzles give you very little guidance, like the one that asks you to place everything in the right spots so the critters aren’t scared.

Since you’re only working off a vague clue in this puzzle, it can be pretty tricky to figure out how to get it done. If you’re struggling to get past this step, here’s how to place everything in the right spots so the critters aren’t scared in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Place everything in the right spots so the critters aren’t scared of the shadows in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To place everything in the right spots so the critters aren’t scared of the shadows during the Trial of Truth, you need to move the ears onto the lion and the cage onto the bird. The right placements for each puzzle piece are very precise for this puzzle, so it might take you a bit to get all of the pieces aligned where they need to be.

The Trial of Truth puzzle solution in Disney Dreamlight Valley

There are three puzzle pieces you need to move around to specific spots to get this task done. To start, open Furniture mode close to the stage in The Trial of Truth room. The three pieces you need to move and where each one needs to end up are as follows.

• Move the pole with the Mickey Mouse-like ears over to the left side of the puzzle. The piece needs to be as far left as possible to achieve this. Place them exactly on top of the lion’s shadow, so you add an extra set of ears to this creature.
• Move the left side of the cage over to the left side of the bird. Place this piece right on top of the bird so its beak is right near the edge of the cage.
• Move the right side of the cage over to the right side of the bird. The bird’s tail should be close to the edge of the cage when you place it in the right spot. The two bird cage pieces are on separate tracks, and to align them correctly, you need to have both about one space away from the right edge.

With this step out of the way, you can continue working through The Trial of Truth. There’s still plenty more work to get done in this quest and lots more to tackle around the castle, so be prepared to face some additional puzzles as you continue exploring.

Next, The Trial of Truth quest asks you to cook the right meal for the Pegasus and Rabbit, which is an even trickier goal than the task you just completed. Once you’re done with that, you can move on to the final Trial, which is The Trial of Song, before finally unlocking Aurora as a villager for your valley.
