Many may recognize Merlin. Long, pointy white beard and an equally long blue hat and robe, and a wizard of renown from Disney's The Sword in the Stone. Merlin shows up in Disney Dreamlight Valley as a villager, and much like his role in the movie, he'll act as a mentor to you.

He'll teach you recipes, help you master Dreamlight magic, and on occasion, need your help. This guide will show you how to complete his first friendship quest, A New Enchantment.

How To Begin The Quest

This quest becomes available as soon as you reach friendship level two with Merlin, complete The Dream Castle quest, and finish two of Scrooge's quests, Making Cents Of Things and Scrooge's Grand Re-Opening.

This can be done by having daily discussions with him, as well as gifting him items, especially his favorites. Once the quest prompt appears over Merlin's head, speak to him. Merlin will inform you that he's doing some experiments in the Valley and wants ten Dream Shards so he can turn them into a potion.

How To Collect Dream Shards And Dreamlight

Dream Shards can be obtained in several ways. They can be dropped when removing Night Thorns, digging into raised, shining spots in the ground,or sometimes when giving critters their favorite foods. Once you've collected 10 Dream Shards, bring them back to Merlin to progress.

He'll ask you to convert the Dream Shards into Dreamlight next. This can be done at any crafting station and the option is found under the Potions & Enchantment tab. Ten Dream Shards will make a bundle of 500 Dreamlight, which is automatically added to your total Dreamlight. After you've done that, return to Merlin once more.

Collecting The Items For Merlin

Talk to Merlin again and he'll tell you that he wants to examine some of the plants that grow in the Valley. He'll ask you to collect four Dandelions, four White Daisies, six Apples and six Bananas.

  • Dandelions grow randomly in any grassy area in the Plaza. If none have grown, make sure to pick all the flowers to give them more room to spawn.
  • White Daisies grow in the Peaceful Meadow. Like Dandelions, they grow randomly and frequently.
  • Apples are found growing from small trees with a built-in border. Several apple trees are located in the Plaza and can be moved to more convenient spots via Furniture mode. Each tree nets you three Apples normally (or more if you get lucky and get bonus fruit).
  • Bananas are found growing on small trees like apples, and several sit in the Peaceful Meadows near the entrance to Dazzling Beach, on Dazzling Beach itself, or in the Moana Realm if you've unlocked it already. Like apples, each tree generally nets you three bananas.

How To Test The Enchantment

Speak with Merlin again and then follow him to the Peaceful Meadows. He'll direct you to a patch of purple mushrooms near the entrance to the Glade of Trust. Water them with your Royal Watering Can and they'll disappear.

The enchantment on your watering can is supposed to disappear afterward, so don't worry when it does. Speak to Merlin one last time to finish the quest and receive your reward of 180 Friendship with Merlin.
