This is the final memory Maleficent needs to return to normal, so it’s a crucial item to acquire. Just like the other two anchor moments, though, this one is locked behind a tricky puzzle. Here’s how to find Maleficent’s third anchor moment in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

The puzzle you need to solve to earn Maleficent’s third anchor moment centers around getting a knight statue all the way to the end of the room. There are fresh obstacles blocking its path along the way, so you have a series of blockades to navigate through.

Each room in this puzzle has some weapon stands blocking the knight’s path forward. Your job is to interact with each one to move them out of the way. Since this is a puzzle, you have to move them in a certain order and towards specific directions to successfully make your way through.

First room

The first room is the easiest to solve and is more of a tutorial for what’s to come. There are two weapon racks blocking the knight’s path, and all you need to do is interact with each one once to push them out of the way. As soon as you do, you can then interact with the knight to push them forward into the next room.

Second room

The puzzle gets a bit trickier in the second room, with three weapon racks situated in a more complex formation. Here’s how to solve this puzzle:

  • Approach the weapon rack closest to the locked door and push it forward once.
  • Go up to the weapon stand that’s up against the edge and push it once.
  • Approach the third weapon rack you haven’t touched yet and push it once, then interact with it a second time to send it further along the other side.
  • Interact with the knight statue to send it into the next room.

Third room

The third room is the last one featured in this puzzle, so it’s also the toughest. There are five weapon racks in this puzzle, and your goal is to move all of them off to the right side of the room. Here’s how I did it:

  • Interact with the small weapon stand near the right edge of the puzzle to send it forward once, then interact with it again to send it further backward.
  • Approach the small weapon rack near the corner of the puzzle and send it forward once.
  • Interact with each of the long weapon stands once to move them out of the way.
  • Approach the knight to send them forward.

With this puzzle done, you can then head through the now-unlocked door to grab Maleficent’s third anchor moment. You’re one step closer to officially unlocking Maleficent now, though there’s still plenty to get done in The Unwritten Realms update.
