To successfully work through all Star Path event tasks in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you’ll have to solve quite a few vague hints relating to the villagers who call the valley home. One of the trickier ones you’ll encounter asks you to reach friendship level five with an explorer from Motunui.

Even if you feel like you know the residents of your village fairly well, recalling all the specific, tiny details for them can be tricky, especially since there are over 70 characters to befriend, and more consistently arriving. If you’re unsure who you need to interact with for this one, here’s who the explorer from Motunui is in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

The villager from Motunui is Moana in DDV. In the film Moana, she starts off living on an island called Motunui. Throughout the earlier half of the film, she also repeatedly practices for her first meeting with Maui by reciting the line “I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti.”

In DDV, though, Moana being from Motunui doesn’t come up often. She is the only villager you can interact with who calls this island home, though, as Maui doesn’t originate from there, and all other characters come from other locations.

Reach friendship level five with an explorer from Motunui in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the reach friendship level five with an explorer from Motunui routine duty for the Seafaring Star Path event, you need to raise your friendship with Moana to level five.

To make this happen, you need to build your bond with Moana until it reaches level five. There are many different ways to increase your relationship with her, including hanging out and performing any valley tasks, giving gifts, and having a daily chat with her.

If you have access to other DLCs, there are a few additional methods you can use for increasing your friendship. Try playing Pooh Bear Sticks or Scramblecoin with Moana to help give your bond an additional boost.

Regardless of how you do it, this duty will be checked off as soon as you achieve level five friendship with Moana. Completing this quest gets you a total of 10 Tokens to spend in the event. It’s not much, but every little bit helps if you want to claim all prizes.

Since you don’t get much for checking off this quest, you’ll likely want to tackle some additional Seafaring Star Path duties to earn enough to purchase rewards. Some good duties to work on next are giving a boy who never grows up his favorite gift, taking a selfie with the youngest of seven sisters from the sea, crafting a Helm Bookshelf for your nautical charts, and giving a seafaring prince his favorite gift.
