Since you’re only given this fairly vague clue to work with, it can be quite tricky to figure out where to start the hunt and what you need to do once you find the right area. If you’re struggling to solve this one, here’s the solution for the tip some purple caps somewhere swampy riddle in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

The solution for the tip some purple caps somewhere swampy riddle is mushrooms in the Glade of Trust biome. You might be tempted to try your Royal Shovel or Royal Pickaxe to get rid of them, but it’s actually your Royal Watering Can that clears them away. The clue subtly hints at this region and obstacle since the “purple caps” mentioned in it are mushrooms, and the only “swampy” area in the village is the Glade of Trust.

Around this biome, you’ll find fairly large groups of vibrant purple mushrooms growing. There might only be a few of them clustered close together, or there may instead be an enormous patch. The treasure you’re hunting for can appear in any grouping of them, so it’s essential you remove them all.

Using your Royal Watering Can, wash away all mushrooms you come across in this area until one of them drops a sparkling golden chest you can open. Inside, you’ll find a piece of the treasure map that leads to the Treasure Hunt event grand prize.

Most mushrooms you water will likely drop regular Mushrooms, an ingredient you can cook with. Only one will spawn the chest you’re after, so stay focused on getting rid of all the mushrooms you come across until you find what you’re looking for. I had to wash away four mushroom clumps before I found the chest, but it may take you more or less than this depending on how lucky you are.
