How to locate three Memory Fragments in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Time for a good old fashioned scavenger hunt.

Joy and Sadness have quite a few tricky scavenger hunts for you to tackle throughout their story quests in Disney Dreamlight Valley. The final one they send you on is in the Create a Bear quest, where you need to locate three Memory Fragments.

You’re only given three fairly vague hints to find these special items, so it can be quite tricky to figure out where to look. If you’re struggling to progress past this step, here’s how to locate three Memory Fragments in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

To locate all three Memory Fragments for the Create a Bear quest, you need to travel to three locations around both the main valley and other worlds. The clues you’re given for this task are:

  • Outside somewhere you feel at home.
  • A place that connects many worlds.
  • Where Joy and Sadness control emotions.

The exact locations for all Memory Fragments vary for each player, but the general area remains the same. Here’s where to find all three items you need for this quest around the valley.

Outside somewhere you feel at home in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The first Memory Fragment is outside somewhere you feel at home, which is out in the valley close to your main home. Travel to your primary house in the main area, Dreamlight Valley, to find this one.

Since you can freely place and move your home wherever you like, the exact spot you need to search for this one varies. My main house is in the Forest of Valor, so that’s where I went to find it, but yours might be at Dazzle Beach, Peaceful Meadow, or somewhere else, so make sure you venture to the right region to find it. Once you’re there, look all around the outside of your house to find a tiny sparkle you can pick up.

The second Memory Fragment can be found in a place that connects many worlds, which is the Dream Castle. There are other locations you might think match this description, like the Stardust Port you can use to travel to DLC worlds, but only the Dream Castle works for this quest.

Once you’re inside, start hunting around for the tiny sparkling fragment. The precise location varies for all players, so there’s no way to know where yours will appear. Mine was on the very top floor near the fountain by the Inside Out Realm door, but I’ve seen others pop up along the stairs, on the first floor, and close to Mickey’s secret door, so you really have to look everywhere to make sure you don’t miss it.

The third and final Memory Fragment you need to collect is located where Joy and Sadness control emotions, which is the Headquarters in the Inside Out Realm. You can access this area by traveling through the door near the right end of the top floor in the Dream Castle or by teleporting there instantly using the map.

Once you’re inside, look around the main room to find the Memory Fragment. It won’t appear in any of the other areas you can travel to, so stick to only the central Headquarters area, which is the room surrounding the main console, to find it. Mine was fairly close to the console near the orange couch.

With all three Memory Fragments now collected, you can get to work finishing the rest of the Create a Bear quest. And once you’re done, there are plenty of other tricky Inside Out tasks to get done, like Spark Joy, Get Nostalgic!, and Embrace the Blues.
