The Forgotten is a character original to Disney Dreamlight Valley, is the main antagonist of Act 1 of the game's story, and is responsible for the Forgetting that has darkened the Valley and erased the Villager's memories.
Throughout the quests in the first act of the game's story the player will uncover more about the history of The Forgotten, and uncover how it relates to the Forgetting.
Its appearance reflects the one from the player, and it will change every time the player updates its own appearance, so they both match. It has its own clothing with a dark purple and black glowing animation, a custom purple skin tone and green glowing eyes though. Its voice sounds deep and has some kind of echo effect.
Unlocking
When beginning the story quest The Dark Castle a portal will be opened to the Dark Castle. After confronting The Forgotten there and completing the quest The Remembering, it'll return with the player to the Valley and be welcomed by the other Villagers.
After this event, the portal will remain open in the Plaza - so the player can return to the Dark Castle at any time, and the Forgotten will also visit the Valley. Unlike other Villagers, the Forgotten has no friendship levels and offers no quests. It cannot be invited to "hang out" or assigned a role, although the player can chat with it. Unlike the other characters, the player can talk with the Forgotten as many times as it wants in the same day, although the topic won't change until the next day.
Backstory
The Forgotten is responsible for the Forgetting, removing the protective orbs from the pillars throughout the Valley, and the appearance of the night thorns. Is angry with the player, and blame the player for leaving it behind in Dreamlight Valley years before.
First revealed to the player by Ursula in the quest With Great Power..., she explains that the Forgetting effecting Dreamlight Valley didn't just happen, it was caused by a being - named The Forgotten.
Soon after, the player will find Donald lost in a Dark Grove, having travelled through a dark portal. He'll explain he chased a "Dark Entity" inside the portal to recover the Orb of Courage, but got lost in the fog. He also describes seeing a 'dark castle' through the trees.
Later during the quest Nature & Nurture, after restoring the river in Sunlit Plateau the player will encounter The Forgotten - a dark shadow version of the player wearing an Onyx Crown and wings. After chasing the Forgotten through a dark portal, it'll see them enter the Dark Castle.
The player will return to Merlin and explain what they've seen, & he'll suggest the Forgotten is a splinter of themself that stayed behind when they left the Valley long ago.
Later in the story, during the quest The Great Blizzard, the player will unlock a Secret Chamber (with Olaf inside). They'll use Elsa's water magic to unlock hidden memories which reveal the Forgotten taking the protective orb from the pillar in Frosted Heights. Uncovering more memories in the Secret Chamber shows that the chamber belonged to the Forgotten and it'd been experimenting with Dark Magic inside.
The quest Miracles Take Time lets the player act as the Forgotten to play out past memories, replaying events that led up to the Forgetting, and giving more context to the motivations of the Forgotten and those around it. After replaying the memories, the Forgotten will appear and steal away with the Orb of Remembrance.
After this, during the quest The Forgotten Relics, dark rifts begin to appear all around the valley, forcing the player to locate artifacts the Forgotten had left behind imbued with their dark magic. After gathering these artifacts Merlin is able to use this magic open a portal to the Dark Castle.
Finally, in the quest The Dark Castle, the player travels through the Forgotten's lair for a final confrontation to put a stop to the dark rifts threatening the Valley. After this confrontation, and the quest The Remembering, the Forgotten and the player join forces to close the rifts and The Forgotten will return to Dreamlight Valley where is welcomed by the other Villagers.
