How to get Maleficent in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Maleficent prerequisites in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Before you can unlock Maleficent, you need to complete the main storyline for The Storybook Vale part one and a decent chunk of part two as well. In total, there are 22 quests you have to get done before you can recruit her. All of the tasks you need to tackle are as follows.

• Welcome to the Storybook Vale
• A New Chapter
• A Land of Myths and Legends
• Guts & Glory
• A Moth to a Flame
• The Promethean Flame
• The Marble Colossus
• Losing Your Marbles
• Mount Olympus
• The Wolf of the Wilds
• A Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing
• Not by the Hair on My Chinny Chin Chin
• Curiouser and Curiouser…
• Teapot Falls
• The Fallen Fortress
• The Knights of the Round Table
• The Mistress of All Evil
• A Long-Awaited Invitation
• A Storm of Stories
• The Unwritten Realms: Maleficent’s Gift
• The Unwritten Realms: The Spinning Wheel
• The Unwritten Realms: Maleficent’s Demise

To work through all of these quests, you also need to unlock and befriend Merida, Flynn, and Hades. They’re important characters for all of these tasks, so getting them in your valley is crucial for eventually unlocking Maleficent, too.

The main quests that focus on recruiting her are The Unwritten Realms: Maleficent’s Gift, The Unwritten Realms: The Spinning Wheel, and The Unwritten Realms: Maleficent’s Demise. During these tasks, your goal is to find three essential memories to stop her from being erased. This includes:

• Maleficent’s first anchor moment
• Maleficent’s second anchor moment
• Maleficent’s third anchor moment

Each one of these quests has a series of complex puzzles to solve and can take quite a while to get done. Between these tasks and the many other prerequisite missions that come before them, Maleficent is easily one of the trickiest characters to add to your valley. She’s not a character you can jump in and unlock right away, so focus on steadily working your way through all of the required tasks over time to recruit her.
