The Big Worry quest walkthrough in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Sadness and Joy’s friendship quests in Disney Dreamlight Valley focus on figuring out the mysteries behind a peculiar plush bear, all the while helping your villagers feel happy. The Big Worry is all about taking everyone’s concerns and burying them deep underground and seeing what happens.

Starting the Big Worry quest

Completing the Big Worry quest requires finishing Joy’s level seven quest, Imagination Land, and reaching level seven with Sadness. You also need to have The Beast and Elsa unlocked as permanent villagers, alongside opening Frosted Heights. Once you meet these prerequisites, you’ll be ready to start the mission.

Invite some villagers to Sadness’s talking session

During the introduction of Sadness’s Big Worry quest, you’ll learn that she has never hosted a party before. She decides to invite some villagers to a get-together in hopes of having them relieve some stress by talking to one another. You’ll need to invite the following characters:

• Elsa
• WALL-E
• The Beast
• Remy
• Mickey Mouse

Depending on the time of day, you may need to wait for certain characters to wake up if they’re asleep. Otherwise, they’ll all agree to join the party without any concerns.

Make Margherita pizza and Gooseberry boba tea

Once you tell the five about the talking session, return to Sadness to get your next task. This portion is split up into two parts—food and decorations. Starting with the food, you’ll need to make Margherita pizzas and Gooseberry boba tea. Here are the recipes for both:

• Margherita Pizza: Tomato, cheese, wheat, any spice
• Gooseberry Boba Tea: Sugar cane, milk, gooseberries

You’ll need four of each ingredient, so prepare ahead of time to avoid making multiple trips to Chez Remy or your favorite stove.

These dishes are relatively easy to make if you’re familiar with the recipes already. Wheat is available from Peaceful Meadow’s Goofy stall, while cheese and milk are purchasable from Chez Remy. You can buy tomatoes and sugar cane from Dazzle Beach, while gooseberries require venturing into the Forgotten Lands and foraging. Lastly, you can get spices in any biome.

Gather materials for Sadness’s talking sessions

Once you make both dishes, you’ll immediately get your next task of collecting items for the talking session’s decorations. Here’s a list of everything you need:

• Fabric (12)
• Softwood (16)
• Black Passion Lily (8)
• Purple Boba Tea (4)
• Margherita Pizza (4)
• Tissue Boxes (4)

By now, you’ll already have the boba tea and Margherita pizza, so you won’t need to worry about them unless you accidentally sell or eat them. Alongside the regular softwood requirement, you’ll also need an additional 12 and eight fiber for the tissue boxes, both of which are early-game resources.

The tricky part is obtaining fabric and Black Passion Lilies. You’ll either need to buy the fabric from Kristoff’s stall or farm 60 cotton for them, which you can find in the Sunlit Plateau. Black Passion Lilies spawn exclusively in Frosted Heights, but you can also check up on The Beast’s flower stall and try to get lucky with its randomized drops.

Grow the Big Worry

After collecting the decoration materials and food for the talking session, return to Sadness to start the event. Everyone will express their worries and concerns, leading to a strange blue orb developing. You decide to call it the “Big Worry” and come up with the idea of growing it to see what happens. Once you grab it, dig a hole anywhere in your village before planting the orb.

If you use a Miracle Growth Elixir on your watering can before watering the orb, you’ll receive its drop immediately. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait five minutes for it to grow. Whether you wait around or leave and return later is entirely up to you. Regardless of your choice, you’ll find some plush bear buttons once it’s done growing.

Water the sad rain clouds

Our last objective of the Big Worry quest, after a brief conversation with Sadness about the plush bear buttons, is to find more rain clouds and clear them away with water. They spawn in the following biomes:

• The Plaza
• Peaceful Meadow
• Dazzle Beach
• The Forest of Valor
• Frosted Heights

They’re identical to the clouds you experienced during the Storm’s A-Brewin’! quest. I mostly found them in the forest and around Peaceful Meadow, with a few extras scattered around the other three biomes. Finding all 12 clouds and talking to Sadness will automatically conclude the mission and ready you for Joy’s final quest.
