In Disney Dreamlight Valley, after entering the Forest of Valor for the first time and meeting Kristoff, you’ll discover a dark portal leading to a mysterious, foggy area. After investigating further, Merlin will ask you to enter the dark grove and find a plant. With this plant, Merlin will create an item you can use to save Donald Duck! If you’re interested in learning more, continue reading to discover how to find the plant from the dark grove in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
How to Find the Plant From the Dark Grove in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Once you’ve received the quest task to gather ingredients for the tracking spell, head into the portal again to find the Dark Grove. From here, you’ll mostly be surrounded by fog, trees and large Night Thorns. To find the plant, circle around the portal and look for a twisted, curling Night Thorn with a glowing purple figure on top. This is the plant you need! Interact with the plant to pick it up.
Some signs you’ll want to look out for include a smaller Night Thorn nearby and two trees on either side of the plant’s thorn. From here, you’ll find the sparkling, purple plant resting comfortably on top.
