What are special crystals underground in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
The special crystals found underground are Vitalys Crystals in DDV. You can technically find all kinds of crystals, gems, and rocks while mining underground, but for the purposes of this Paw-fect Romance Star Path duty, only Vitalys Crystals count.
While the majority of rocks and gems can be found in various spots around the valley, Vitalys Crystals can only be found in the Vitalys Mine. This location can be accessed through the cave tucked away under the waterfall near the north end of the Sunlit Plateau biome.
You unlock this secret location when completing Scar’s Nature & Nurture quest, which also grants you access to the Sunlit Plateau biome. You’ll come across this mission naturally as you progress the main storyline, so if you don’t see it yet, just keep working through the key story quests you have until it’s unlocked.
Mine for special crystals underground in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To finish the mine for special crystals underground quest, you need to mine a total of 10 Vitalys Crystals. This will likely take you at least a few rounds around the mines, as they’re not guaranteed to drop from each one, and you’ll likely only get one or two when you do find them.
To help you get it done more quickly, consider crafting and using a Miracle Pickaxe Polish or Even More Miraculous Pickaxe Polish. Both items can be made and applied to your Royal Pickaxe to increase the drops you get from mining for a while afterward.
- Miracle Pickaxe Polish works for 10 strikes and can be crafted with 10 Vitalys Crystals, five Onyx, and 500 Dreamlight.
- Even More Miraculous Pickaxe Polish works for 25 strikes and can be crafted with 20 Vitalys Crystals, 10 Onyx, and 1,000 Dreamlight.
You may also want to bring a mining villager and two mining Companions with you on this quest. Having both at your side means the loot you get from mining will be increased, although any bonus goodies found by your allies won’t actually count for the Star Path quest. You’re going to be putting in the work either way, though, so you might as well have them there to help you get extras.
The Paw-fect Romance Star Path has plenty of other tasks you can work on after this one. Next, you might try practicing MINE-fulness, crafting a potion you can really “dig,” harvesting a key chocolate ingredient, and crafting any refinement item.
