Up until now, Belle, Rapunzel, and Elsa were the only Disney princesses in Disney Dreamlight Valley. But with the Dapper Delights update, Gameloft is adding Tiana to the mix, bringing even more magic to the game.
Tiana’s arrival isn’t just about her character; she’s bringing new features like her Meal Stall and a brand-new Restaurant. Gameloft’s Developer Update highlights that few characters have added as much to the game as Tiana.
Like other characters, Tiana’s entrance is unique. You won’t get her immediately—you’ll need to do some work first.
How to Unlock Tiana
To unlock Tiana in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you need to complete Remy’s “A Taste for Literature” quest. Upon updating your game, you’ll receive a letter in your mailbox from Remy titled “A Culinary Development.” Here’s a detailed guide to completing the quest, along with some crucial tips to avoid bugs:
Step 1: Find Remy’s Cookbook
The letter from Remy explains that he found a mysterious cookbook in the Glade of Trust but can’t pick it up himself. Head to the Glade of Trust in the southwest corner of the Valley and look for an open blue book. However, be aware that this part can be buggy. Many players, including myself, have experienced the game freezing when picking up the book. The screen might freeze for a split second, then resume.
Tip: Ensure you have at least one inventory slot open before picking up the book. Eat some fruits or spices, or sell some items to free up space. This seems to help avoid the glitch.
Step 2: Meet Remy and Return the Book
After retrieving the book, take it back to Remy at his restaurant. This triggers a memory to appear on the ground, but be cautious—this is another spot where the game might glitch. Here’s how to handle it:
Pro Tip: Save your game after every step, especially after any dialogue. Don’t click on anything without saving first. If the memory doesn’t trigger right away, click the orb twice and save after the first click. Avoid button mashing to minimize glitches.
Step 3: Talk to the Villagers from the Memory
Once the memory is unlocked, you’ll need to talk to Moana, Mickey, and Merlin about the picnic in the memory. Since these characters move around the Valley, use the map to track them and teleport to a nearby Well for quicker access. Each character will recall a different ingredient from the picnic, with Merlin even giving you one of the ingredients.
Step 4: Make Enchanted Shrimp Étouffée
Next, gather the ingredients for the Cajun dish Shrimp Étouffée:
- Shrimp: Fish for Shrimp in blue ripples at Dazzle Beach.
- Onion: Buy Onion seeds from Goofy’s Stall in the Forest of Valor.
- Rice: Purchase Rice from Goofy’s Stall in the Glade of Trust.
- Milk: Get Milk from Chez Remy’s Pantry.
With all the ingredients collected, head to a cooking station and prepare the Enchanted Shrimp Étouffée, remembering to add the Dreamlight Peppers that Merlin provided.
Step 5: Share the Enchanted Shrimp Étouffée
Finally, serve the Enchanted Shrimp Étouffée to Moana, Mickey, Merlin, and Remy. Once everyone has tasted it, Tiana will be ready to join your village. After she arrives, you can begin her Friendship Quests to fully welcome her to Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Bonus Tips to Beat the Glitches
- Save Often: Save your game after every significant action, especially after completing dialogue.
- Inventory Management: Always have at least one inventory slot open to avoid potential freezing issues when collecting quest items.
- Patience: Don’t rush through the dialogues or clicks. Take your time to ensure the game processes each step smoothly.
Hopefully, these tips help you navigate any issues and bring Tiana into your Valley without too much trouble.
Now that you’re ready to unlock Tiana, take some time to explore the full Dapper Delights update to see all the new features and content Gameloft has added to Disney Dreamlight Valley. Happy playing!
