How to ‘get some Night Shards to lighten up’ in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Well, that was easy.

As part of the new A Day at Disney Star Path event in Disney Dreamlight Valley, there are a lot of new duties to complete and some of them come complete with vague or riddle-esque descriptions. One of these makes it sound like Night Thorns are terrible at parties, but I promise you don’t have to cheer them up.

You can be forgiven if the description for this duty has you stumped, but the answer is actually pretty simple – all you need to do to complete this duty is craft the listed number of Purified Night Shards.

To make Purified Night Shards, you’re going to need two things:

  • 5 Night Shards
    • Crafted at a Crafting Station using three Onyx
    • Found when clearing away Night Thorns
    • Found when digging in sparkling mounds in any biome
  • 1 Dream Shard
    • Critters can drop Dream Shards when fed a food that they like
    • Found when clearing away Night Thorns
    • Found when digging in sparkling mounds in any biome

Once you’ve got the required materials, simply head to a Crafting Station and find Purified Night Shard under the Potions and Enchantments tab.
