Disney Dreamlight Valley finally gives us the benefit of a content update deployed on October 19, 2022. The opportunity to meet the new character Scar, to restore the Sunny Plateau in order to fish there, to enjoy some Halloween festivities but also to unlock a new area called the Mines of Vitalys !
Vitalys Mines: unlock the new area
It is not a biome per se or even a place of history like the cursed cave or the mystical cave for example. The Mines of Vitalys are an integral part of the Sunny Plateau and allow you to discover new gems in particular!
- Price to unlock the area : free
- Prerequisites : you must have started Scar's quest (this implies having paid the entrance to the Sunny Plateau and having finished The Curse with Mother Gothel)
- Important : there are no teleport wells in this area
- Where is the entrance? Once unlocked, the entrance to the area is just behind Goofy's Stand (if you haven't moved it) and more specifically at the start of the Sunny Plateau river.
Shining rocks and other peculiarities
The first time you enter the Mines, you will have the impression that it is huge and that it is a real maze. Fortunately, after several explorations, you will know its every nook and cranny by heart. Here's what to remember:
- The main circuit makes a loop : starting from the entrance and going to the left, you can very quickly reach the camp (where you had to put Super Sparkling Racinette in the barrel to eliminate what was clogging the river) and so the output
- You have to finish Scar's story quest so that the water level rises and this gives you access to a small wooden raft that overlooks a rock and a chest,
- There are 4 green chests to find in the Mines the first time around,
- All wall outcrops (mining rocks) can give you new materials in the game: ruby, sapphire and Vitalys crystals
- At the camp, there is a stove on which you can cook.
Vitalys Mines: All resources in the area
In the Mines of Vitalys, you will only find gems and mining materials. So there is no Goofy stand, flowers or even fish to catch in the water. As its name suggests, this area is only made for mining rare gems that sell for a lot of money. Do not hesitate to come with a character at level 10 of friendship whose profession is Extraction.
