Dialogue

What’s this? Are my spectacles enchanted or might you actually be real? →  Of course I’m real! Well, you never can be too sure around here. →  I don’t know. Are you...? Hmm. That's quite an existential question. I'll have to ponder later. →  What kind of question is that?! Oh, dear. You must be dreadfully confused. I'm afraid you’ll have to excuse me. I haven’t met anyone in ages... Ahem...Welcome to Dreamlight Valley, my friend! player Dreamlight Valley? This place is... →   ...strangely beautiful. player This place is so cool. I want to explore it! Quite understandable. Why, in all my travels, I've yet to find another realm as filled with magic and wonder. In its present state, however, it's a...well, it's a sorry sight indeed. →   ...sort of creepy. player This place isn't...dangerous, is it? Well, it's true that the Valley is a sorry sight compared to what it used to be. But you have nothing to fear. Why, once upon a time, you couldn't find another realm with as much magic and wonder in it. →   ...awfully mysterious. player I feel like I could explore this place forever and still not find all its secrets! Yes, the Valley is full of mysteries. But there was a time when it was also filled with magic and wonder. Oh, but I haven't introduced myself yet! You're no doubt wondering who I am. →   Duh. You're Merlin! player It's so strange. I almost feel like I know you. player You're a great and powerful wizard, right? Well...yes...but not just any wizard! →   Um. You're some sorta...wizard? Not just any wizard! I'm Merlin! →   You're a very odd old man. "Odd old man"?! Why, I...I'm Merlin, I'll have you know! I'm a wizard! A very, very powerful wizard. And that's not all! I'm a soothsayer! A prognosticator! I have the power to see into the future. And I'm also quite skilled at alchemy and prestidigitation! Now that that's settled, there's a small matter of who YOU are... player Me? I'm Player. Player, hmm? Well, the only way to get to Dreamlight Valley is to pass through dreams... So you must also possess great magic. Otherwise, how could you be here? →   Magic? Me? Ha! No way. player When it comes to magic, I can't tell an "abracadabra" from an "alacazam." Oh, I think you'll find that magic often chooses us. And rarely does it choose unwisely. →   I don't know HOW I got here! player I just closed my eyes and drifted off and...all of a sudden, I was here! player Magic had nothing to do with it. Quite the contrary. Magic had everything to do with it! →   Oh, uh, yes! Great magic! player Better watch out, Merlin. I'm pretty good at magic myself! player You're not the only soothsayer, prognosticator, prestidigitator, and alchemist around here! Ah-ha! I knew it! In fact, I'm quite certain that you're the one we've been waiting for. You're going to save Dreamlight Valley! →  What can I do to help? Ah-ha! That spirit of friendship is just what Dreamlight Valley needs! →  What's in it for me? Why, all the joys of Dreamlight Valley, of course! →  Save it from...what? A wise question, indeed. After all, a problem can't be solved until it's understood! If we're to restore the Valley to what it was... A place of magic, of wonder, of friendship... We need to stop the Forgetting, once and for all. We must... we must...! I'm... I'm sorry, I can't seem to remember what we were talking about. player The Forgetting...? Ah, yes! The Forgetting! You'll have to forgive me, but now you can see where it gets its name. All right, listen closely and I'll tell you the tale... before I forget again! Cutscene Dreamlight Valley used to be a cheerful place full of happy Villagers. Life was flourishing, thanks to our Ruler's magic. Until one day, our Ruler left without a trace... and the Forgetting came. Our memories began to fade, and Dreamlight Valley became a shadow of its former self... We did our best to preserve the Memories of the life that had been. And as I can see into the future, I knew that someday, someone would come to help restore the Valley. →   Tell me more about the Forgetting. Yes, yes of course. Let me see... Well, when our Ruler left, the sky turned dark. Then those horrid Night Thorns infested the Village, spreading everywhere like a bad thought. The more Night Thorns that appeared, the more clouded our memories became. Why, sometimes I can't remember the faces of all the friends I've lost... or the names of all the spells I've forgotten... player Maybe if we get rid of the Night Thorns... →   ...your memories will return. Get rid of the Night Thorns... Hmm... now there's an interesting thought... →   ...your friends will come back! Get rid of the Night Thorns... Hmm... now there's an interesting thought... →   ...the magic of the Valley will be stronger than ever. Get rid of the Night Thorns... Hmm... now there's an interesting thought... →   Tell me more about the missing Ruler. Well now, all the wonder, magic, and friendship in this Valley came from our Ruler. They watched over the Village, and kept us safe from Dark Magic. But one day, they started to act... different. Though I can scarcely remember it now. And then, our Ruler simply... vanished. It's been...years, I think... I've lost all track of time because of the Forgetting. player Your Ruler just... up and left? →   Doesn't sound like a great Ruler. player A good Ruler would take care of the Village and its people, not just run away. Oh, our Ruler was kind and very noble. There must have been quite a good reason for why they left. Though I can't remember what it was... →   There must have been some reason. player Maybe your Ruler had to leave. Maybe they didn't have a choice. Oh, our Ruler was kind and very noble. There must have been quite a good reason for why they left. Though I can't remember what it was... →   Maybe the Forgetting made your Ruler leave? That certainly seems logical. Yes, the Forgetting must be connected to our Ruler in some way... if only I could remember how... →  I'm ready to help restore the Valley! Well, there's only one way to be absolutely certain you're the one destined to save Dreamlight Valley from the Forgetting. It'll be a small test of your magic... You see, ever since the Forgetting, I've been puzzled about this House blocked by Night Thorns. Come along. We'll investigate it together.

• Try to enter the House.

Dialogue

I've consulted my notes and discovered that Night Thorns began infesting Dreamlight Valley soon after our Ruler disappeared. No one, not even I, can remove the blasted things. Only someone who can harness the magic of Dreamlight will be able to. And I'm certain that someone is you, Player. Player Response →   Of course! Why else would I be here? Well then, don't let ME get in your way. Now, focus your thoughts on the Night Thorns... →   But I'm just... ordinary. That may be, but I've seen seemingly ordinary people do extraordinary things before! Now, focus your thoughts on the Night Thorns... →   How do I remove them? Magic is different for all who practice it. But all YOU need to do is focus your thoughts on the task at hand... Player Response Continued... →   That sounds too easy. Perhaps it is... or perhaps it's the hardest thing you've ever done. Only one way to find out... Feel the magic within yourself, and say the magic word. →   Yes! Let's do this! I sense the magic within you already! Focus on it, and say the magic words. →   Gross. It's all dirty. You'll have time to spruce it up later. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Feel the magic within yourself, and say the magic word. Magic Words →   "Abracadabra!" Straight to the point and quite a classic... →   "Higitus Figitus!" Ha-ha! I'll take that as a compliment. →   "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!" Ah! The Fairy Godmother's magical phrase. Wise choice... Ah-ha! You've done it! Bravo! Bravo! Player, this proves you CAN harness the power of Dreamlight Magic! Well then, there's no time to lose. Let's go inside and see what's become of this House.

• Enter House.

Dialogue

Oh dear! The Night Thorns have made their way inside the House, too. That's strange... suddenly I can't remember why we came in here... →   Are you okay? It's the Night Thorns! Being near so many of them clouds the mind. →   Must be the Night Thorns! Precisely! Being near so many of them clouds the mind. →   This House must be important somehow. I sense it too. If only I could remember why... Ahh! It's those pesky Night Thorns! Being near so many of them is clouding my mind. You must remove them before they consume more memories! Focus your magic once again, Player.

• Remove the Night Thorns inside the House.
• Investigate the Glowing Orb containing the Memory.
• Speak to Merlin.

Dialogue

Goodness! The glowing Orb you pulled from the Night Thorn... it's a Memory! It's like a fog has lifted, and I can recall something of great importance... Mickey Mouse and I were at the Dream Castle... and we left something there... something important... →   Let's go find it. That's the spirit! Of course, I can't remember what it was, but-- →   What was it? Oh dear, I can't remember. We'll just have to go see for ourselves. →   I want to see the Castle! As you should. The Castle is magnificent, though I'm afraid it's seen better days. If only I could remember what we'd left there. Well, we must go solve this mystery! But wait! There's something else returning to me... When our Ruler left, the Royal Tools were lost, scattered throughout the Valley. We must find them, quickly. They're filled with ancient and powerful magic. player The Royal Tools? If I could find those, then maybe I could... →   ...help the Valley! You have a pure heart, Player. It's only through helping each other that we'll get out of this blasted mess. →   ...learn more powerful magic! Perhaps. But remember: Magic is only as pure as the heart that wields it. →   ...solve the mystery of the Forgetting! Well, there's certainly no shortage of mysteries to solve around here. First, we must obtain the Pickaxe. When the Forgetting came and our Ruler left, we found the Pickaxe driven into a blighted stone in the Plaza. Come to think of it, that was around the time the sky went dark and the Night Thorns overran the Plaza. Though it's all a bit of a muddle, I'm afraid. No one's been able to lift the Pickaxe from the stone. But then no one was you, Player. And, after all, it wouldn't be the first time someone pulled something from a stone and became a hero of legend. player Pull the Pickaxe from the stone in the Plaza. Got it. Anything else? You must also find the other three Royal Tools: the Shovel, the Watering Can and the Fishing Rod. You'll need them for what's to come. That is... if you're staying here with us. Player Response →   Of course! Magnificent! Then this House shall be your home. You'll need a safe place in the Valley to eat, sleep and keep your Energy up. →   ...for now. Well then, you'll still need a safe place to eat, sleep and keep your Energy up -- even if it's only temporary. So consider this House your home. →   I just want to meet everyone! Well, there are a few Villagers scattered about... and others... well, they'll need your help now more than ever. Of course, you'll need a safe place to eat, sleep and keep your Energy up if you're going to help them. So consider this House your home. Player Response Continued →   It's got so much potential! That's the spirit! Just as a whispered word can conjure great magic, this House holds much promise. →   It's a bit of a mess. Ah, but it wasn't always so. →   It's so small. Ah, but it wasn't always so. In fact, I seem to remember that the Ruler of Dreamlight Valley had a house like this once. Perhaps you'll do as much good for the Valley as our Ruler did! In fact, here's a little something to get you started. If you ever feel like you need a boost of Energy, there's something in there that will fill you right up. Receive Merlin's Welcome Package. Now then, I'll be at the Dream Castle. You can find me there when you're ready.
