DexertoPeter Pan has finally arrived in Disney Dreamlight Valley as part of the Mysteries of Skull Rock update, bringing childlike glee to the adventure. However, as it goes with most new DDV additions, unlocking him isn’t easy.
Peter Pan is part of Skull Rock, which has remained a mystery for years. After the main quest was completed, a shift occurred just off Dazzle Beach, but aside from that, we didn’t know what was inside, or rather, who was inside.
Now, as part of the Mysteries of Skull Rock update, we know the new character, Peter Pan, lies in wait for us. So, if you’re looking to unlock him, here’s exactly how to do it.
How to unlock Peter Pan
A Forgotten Name
Once you’ve completed the Mysteries of Skull Rock update, you’ll need to wait until the A Forgotten Name quest comes up. We had to wait 45 minutes for the quest to arrive, so you’ll have to be a little patient.
Once it pops up, you’ll be instructed to speak to The Forgotten, who will reveal they found a mysterious feather by Skull Rock. Naturally, the two of you investigate.
Dexerto / GameloftHead over to Skull Rock and speak to The Forgotten there. You’ll both reminisce on better, freer times as a child before they ask you to give them a real name.
Simply choose from one of the options or select a custom name. When you do, they’ll be added to your Valley as an official villager, marking the start of the next quest.

Shadows On The Wall
The next quest is Shadows On The Wall, which will have you heading into Skull Rock with The Forgotten (we’ll call them that for now because no one will know who Suzie is!). So, enter the new space and take in the beautiful boat.
You’ll be told to explore Skull Rock, which is a not-so-subtle hint to check out the location for chests, hidden items, and the occasional piece of gem or gold coins. Once you’re satisfied, head over to The Forgotten and speak to them.
Find the broken lanterns
They’ll explain that they saw a few Pixie Dust Orbs, which act as lights filled with Pixie Dust and Dreamlight. If you’ve found the lantern, then it’ll activate, and you’ll need to find the others. If not, you’ll be instructed to search more to find three broken lanterns to house the Pixie Dust Orbs.
The first is found near where you speak to The Forgotten for the second time, by the Winches. Head to the far left corner facing The Forgotten and dig up the shining mound for the first Lantern.
Then, head down to the ship and grab your Fishing Rod. The other two lanterns are on either side of the dock and need to be fished up.
Fix the Lanterns
When you have all three, you’ll need the following ingredients to fix the Lanterns:
- 3 Broken Lanterns in Skull Rock
- 3 Gold Ingots
- 9 Glass
- 9 Vitalys Crystal
As we mentioned above, you’ll find the lanterns in Skull Rock. The Gold Ingots are mined at mining nodes in Sunlit Plateau, Frosted Heights, and Forgotten Lands. It’s five Gold Nuggets per Ingot, so you’ll need 15 Gold Nuggets and three Coal.
Glass is crafted using Sand, which is dug up in Dazzle Beach. You’ll need 45 Sand and 18 Coal to make nine Glass. Lastly, Vitalys Crystals are mined in the Vitalys Mine in the Sunlit Plateau.
Find and catch the Pixie Dust Orbs
Next, you’ll need to catch the three Orbs. We found them in the following locations:
- Glade of Trust by Gothels house.
- Forest of Valor on the Bridge.
- Forgotten Lands are by the pond in the top left corner.
With that, head to a crafting table and go to Functional Items. Then craft the three Pixie Dust Lanterns.
Next, head back to Skull Rock and place them on all three Winches. The Winches will be coming out of the ground near The Forgotten.
Catch the Shadow
When you’ve created all the Winches, you’ll need to line up all three in one place to catch the Shadow. For this, aim them all at the longer wall on the right, when looking at The Forgotten.
Dexerto / GameloftWhen they’re pointed out, you can introduce yourself to the Shadow, who will try and show you something. Move one of the lights to free him and aim them at the Winch on the wall behind where you spoke to the Shadow. You only need two lights on it, as a third will trap him.
Once you’ve done this, speak to the three Jade Skulls and solve the three riddles using the following answers:
- I’m used to exploring the waters and shores, a swaying home atom the sea-foam. What am I?
- Answer: A pirate ship.
- I’m a winged creature, small and bright, with magic dust to grant you flight. Don’t be fooled; I’ve courage twice my size. Date to doubt; that’s just unwise. What am I?
- Answer: A Pixie.
- I’m an instrument of wind, and for him I’ll always play as he laughs and grins to lead the way. What am I?
- Answer: A pan flute.
With that, you’ll be able to turn the winch and continue onto the next quest.
A Ship of Gold
Next, follow the Shadow and The Forgotten through the gate and speak to The Forgotten. You’ll need to look for another Winch, which is found buried in a rock by the barrel to your right. Use your pickaxe and break the rock to reveal a Pixie Dust Orb, some Pixie Dust, and the winch.
Dexerto / GameloftFollow the Pixie Dust Orb
You’ll need to follow the Pixie Dust Orb around Skull Rock, collecting all the Pixie Dust it drops. Follow it as it glides and use your pickaxe on every large rock you come across. Some blend in well with the wall, so keep your pickaxe equipped.
Make the ship fly
Once you’ve collected all six Pixie Dusts and the Pixie Dust Orb, which can be captured at the end of the task, you’ll need to make something fly.
Dexerto / GameloftThis is the large Pirate Ship situated in the middle of Skull Rock. Simply interact with it, add in the six Pixie Dust, and watch it fly. You’ll need to head up there and walk across the boat to speak to The Forgotten again.
Solve the barrel puzzle
They’ll explain that these barrels are pretty mysterious and look to be part of a puzzle. You need to match the symbols to one another. Each pair is on opposite sides to each other, so it’ll be easy to make them face the correct answer.
The answers have been listed below:
- Hook + Clock (Captain Hook)
- Sewing Needle + Shadow (Peter Pan)
- Pixie + Bell (Tinkerbell)
Simply line these up to face each other, and the puzzle will be solved.
Dexerto / GameloftAs a reward, you’ll receive the Captain’s key from the barrel behind The Forgotten. Pick it up and head down to the Captain’s Cabin on the bottom floor of the ship.
Once inside, you’ll see the Winch. Grab this and head back to where you picked up the key. There will be a slot for you to place the Winch down and open up the next section, therefore completing this current quest.
The Music’s On the Walls
For the final quest to unlock Peter Pan, follow The Forgotten and the Shadow to the next location in Skull Rock. What will appear is a series of musical notes and a book. Once you speak to The Forgotten, a Glowing Musical Note will break free and begin flying away. Chase after it and interact to catch the pesky note.
If you lose sight of the note, head to the left after speaking to the Forgotten, it’ll go down the ramp and through the door. Left behind is a memory depicting Peter Pan flying with notes around him.
Dexerto / GameloftNext, head back to The Forgotten and pick up the silver key just to the left of them. Head back to the Captain’s Cabin and unlock the chest inside.
What comes out is another memory in the form of a letter. This letter is a treasure map, with an X on Ariel’s Island. Speak to The Forgotten, and they’ll explain that you need to find this buried treasure and the Musical Notes.
Find the missing Glowing Musical Notes
The clue you get for the Notes’ location is “the Forgotten Lands, the Frosted Heights, Dazzle Beach, and the Dream Castle.” Though if you’d rather, the answers they’re below.
You can find the five extra notes in the following locations:
- With the Jade Skulls in Skull Rock. Answer the riddle with Pixie Dust.
- In the treehouse in the Forgotten Lands.
- In Olaf’s cave in the Frosted Heights.
- In Ursula’s cave on Dazzle Beach.
- In the Dream Castle on the second floor.
As for the buried treasure, you’ll need to take the boat by Skull Rock to Ariel’s island. It’s just on the curve. Dig up the treasure, and that task will be complete.
Dexerto / GameloftMove the notes
Then, head back to The Forgotten and the Musical Notes. You’ll need to interact with the individual buttons to move the notes up. Make sure they align with the notes in the book, which is shown in the image below.
Dexerto / GameloftAnnoyingly, the Shadow will sabotage this, so you’ll need to craft one more Lantern in the crafting table on the right and place it on the Winch. Then, move them both into the middle to trap him.
Lastly, move the notes back to their rightful positions.
With that, Peter Pan will appear and allow you to speak to him. He’s a little cautious since you’re an adult, so he will challenge you to a game of hide-and-seek.
Find Peter Pan
You’re looking for dark, scary spots when searching for Peter Pan. It’s up to you whether you want to follow the Pixie Dust or ask the villagers where he might be. But, if you prefer to just unlock him, then you’ll find him in the following location:
- The top floor of the Dark Castle.
Dexerto / GameloftHead into the portal in the Plaza and enter the Dark Castle. Go up as much as possible, and you’ll find plenty of Pixie dust and eventually Peter Pan himself.
With that, he’ll agree to join your Valley. So, place down his home, build it for 20,000 Star Coins, and he’ll be invited to your Valley.
DexertoFriendship Quest 1: Shadow Tag
For Peter Pan’s first Friendship Quest, Shadow Tag, you’ll have to catch Peter’s shadow and sew it back onto him.
The first step is having a word with Minnie and check her house for Peter Pan’s shadow.
Peter Pan’s shadow location
DexertoTo find Peter shadow’s in Minnie’s house, look for a red lamp next to Minnie’s bed and interact with it. After a cutscene, you’ll be asked to craft a Shadow Spotlight.
Shadow Spotlight recipe
DexertoTo craft the Shadow Spotlight, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 15 Glass: Crafted using five Sand and one Coal Ore.
- 6 Iron Ingot: Crafted using Iron Ore from Sunlit Plateau, Forest of Valor, or Glade of Trust.
- 2 Diamond: Mined in the Forgotten Lands.
Once you’ve got the ingredients, head to the nearest crafting station and look for this recipe under Functional Items.
DexertoThe next steps will be to speak with Sally and Beast. In Beast’s house, place the Shadow Spotlights on the sparkling spots on the red carpet. Then, just watch as Kristoff sews Peter’s shadow onto him.
Friendship Quest 2: A Real Hideout
For Peter Pan’s second Friendship Quest, you’ll be asked to cook several meals, starting with a five-star Entrée.
Five star Entrée recipes
DexertoAny 5-star Entrée will do, but here are a few ideas:
- Gumbo: Okra, Shrimp, Chili Pepper, Tomato, Onion
- Lancetfish Paella: Lancetfish, Shrimp, Seafood, Tomato, Rice
- Lobster Roll: Lobster, Butter, Wheat, Lemon, Garlic
Once you’re done cooking, bring it back to him. Unforunately, this refined dish won’t be on par with Peter’s taste. After consulting with Sully and Remy, they suggest you make French Fries and a Peanut Butter Sandwitch.
French Fries recipe
Dexerto- Potato: Buy from Goofy’s Stall in the Forgotten Lands.
- Canola: Buy from Goofy’s Stall in the Forest of Valor.
Peanut Butter recipe
Dexerto- Peanuts: Buy from Chez Remy’s Pantry.
- Wheat: Buy Wheat or Wheat Seeds from Goofy’s Stall in Peaceful Meadow.
Bring these meals back to Peter Pan; he’ll be slightly more pleased with these. The next step is to help him clean his Trash Piles.
You’ll eventually run into an Old Swing. Show it to Peter to evoke a memory of three locations, this is where he lost some of his treasures.
Peter’s hidden treasures locations
If you take a look at the memory that dropped on the ground, we can deduce the treasures are in the following locations:
| Visual Reference | Treasure location |
|---|---|
 | By the Glade of Trust’s big willow tree |
 | By the Forgotten Lands’ treehouse |
 | Outside of Ursula’s Cave in Dazzle Beach |
Once you’ve found all three treasures, return them to Peter to complete a Real Hideout.
Friendship Quest 3: The New Lost Boys
For Peter Pan’s third Friendship Quest, we’ll be cooking nine pies, then cleaning a bunch of houses, and running auditions for the next Lost Boys.
Let’s review each recipe you’ll need to cook. Keep in mind, you’ll need three of each ingredient for every recipe.
Whimsical Pie recipe
Dexerto- Dreamlight Fruit: Unlock by completing Simba’s level 7 friendship quest, Seed of Memories. Trees appear in the Sunlit Plateau.

Cleaning up
When you’re done with all this cooking, bring the pies to Peter. He unfortunately won’t just be eating them like a good boy, but will use them to pie Donald, Merlin, and Scar’s houses… which you’ll have to clean up.
All this cleaning up is followed by a heart of heart with Peter, in which he reveals he’s missing his Lost Boys. To help him find interested candidates, you’ll have to craft some signs.
Lost Boys Audition Signs recipe
DexertoTo craft five of these signs, you’ll need
- 50 Softwood: Found on the Plaza, Peaceful Meadow, Forest of Valor, and Glade of Trust.
- 25 Drywood: Found in the Sunlit Plateau, Frosted Heights, and Forgotten Lands.
- 10 Green Passion Lilies: Found in the Frosted Heights.
- 10 Red Passion Lilies: Found in the Frosted Heights.
When ready, head to the nearest crafting station and craft the Lost Boys Audition Signs. Then, place them around the Valley and meet up with Peter at his house to be part of the audition process. After he’s assembled his team, the quest will be over.
Friendship Quest 4: The Valley Pirates
For Peter Pan’s fourth Friendship Quest, we’ll be facing the most fearsome evil pirate: Eric the Meek.
Where is Eric the Meek?
DexertoEric is hiding in the Secret Chamber in the Frosted Heights. Head inside, mine the ice clumps blocking the way, and have a word with him. He’ll then ask that you gather 5 Minerals and 10 Gold Nuggets to bribe the First Mate.
Visit the Dreamscape
DexertoNext, head to the Forgotten Lands and had inside the treehouse to enter the Dreamscape. In here, you’ll find the Fairy Godmother, who’ll take your bribe and wave you goodbye, perhaps with a bit too much kindness.
The final scene of this quest takes place where this whole adventure started: in Skull Rock.
Get Past Skull Rock’s pirate guard
DexertoThe first guard you’ll have to bypass is Ariel. Funnily enough, it’s harder to reach her than to bypass her. In any case, grab the pickaxe and destroy the rocks blocking the way and have a word with her. Then, the real challenge begins.
Avoid being detected by the lanterns
| Visual Reference | Steps |
|---|---|
 | In this first area, wait for the right time, then glide to the left and then to the right to avoid being detected. Once the light is out of the way, glide forward and move past Olaf. |
 | After waving goodbye to the Lost Boys, go through the first door where you’ll see two more lanterns. The best strategy here is to wait for the right moment and then step forward. |
 | With the lantern before the bridge, walk close to the right side, and only slide to the left and cross the bridge when the light isn’t shining your way. |
 | Across the bridge, you’ll see six lanterns. To get past them, start by staying close to the right side of the bridge. When only five lanterns remain, glide diagonally left, then diagonally right, and finally push forward past the last lantern. |
 | This is your final challenge. Glide diagonally to the right, then glide to the left twice to reach the final boss and open the treasure. |
After getting the key and opening the treasure, head outside of Skull Rock and place it on the Valley to take a celebratory selfie with the team.
