Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest walkthrough in Disney Dreamlight Valley

You’ve finally found the Crystal Key Tinker Bell needs to help you explore the Crystal Cavern in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This means it’s officially time to venture deeper into the Wishblossom Heart with the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest.

This is the first mission you’ll encounter that acts as a trial of sorts, and it’s especially tough to navigate through because of this. If you’re having trouble working through this one, here’s a complete walkthrough for the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest, you need to navigate through the first Crystal Cavern in the Wishblossom Heart. It’s essentially one big trial packed with puzzles and obstacles to work through, which makes this mission one of the trickiest to tackle. Here’s a full breakdown to help you get through it.

Bring the Crystal Key to Tinker Bell

Your first mission is to meet up with Tinker Bell back in the Wishblossom Heart cave so you can give her the Crystal Key. This is the same cave you previously explored during the Tales of a Broken Heart quest, but it’s been a while since you went there, so you may have forgotten how to find it.

The cave where Tinker Bell is waiting is located right between the bridges leading from Wishblossom Ranch to Wishing Way. Right in the middle, there’s a rocky archway you can walk under and a secret path you can follow to access the cave. Walk over to the middle of the cave to find and chat with Tinker Bell.

Enter the first Crystal Cavern in the Wishblossom Heart

After talking with Tinker Bell, follow her around the right side of the Wishblossom Heart, then chat with her again near the entrance to the Crystal Cavern. As soon as you finish talking to her, a staircase leading into the Crystal Cavern will appear, so head inside to get the real mission started.

Use the weight of your horse and large objects to activate the pressure plates on the ground

The first room in the Crystal Cavern has a puzzle for you to solve. This one requires you to use the weight of your horse and large objects to activate the pressure plates on the ground, unlocking the door to proceed.

To start, head over to the massive stone block near the right end of the room. While riding your horse, walk into it twice, pushing it all the way forward so it’s sitting on top of the pressure plate. Doing so opens the door halfway, which isn’t quite enough for you to get through just yet.

Trot over to the pressure plate near the left end of the room and stand on it while riding your horse to unlock the door. Then, head through it to venture deeper into the mysterious Crystal Cavern.

Stick to the path and keep heading forward. Along the way, you’ll encounter a few obstacles you need to jump over, so remember to speed up when you find them so your horse can glide right over them with ease. At the end of the path, you’ll come across an elevator. Interact with the switch on the left side of it to activate it. Continue down the new path you discover at the bottom until you reach the heart of the cave.

Help the Wishblossom of Hope

In the heart of this Crystal Cavern is the Wishblossom of Hope, but unfortunately, it’s quite weak and needs your help. You can help stop it from decaying by removing the crystals on its roots, which can be found:

• In the blue area, by its right root.
• In the green area behind it,
• In the pink area to its left.

Remove the crystal in the blue area by its right root

Start by heading around to the right side of the Wishblossom of Hope, where there’s blue light on the ceiling. Turn right to enter a small cavern with another pressure plate puzzle you need to solve. As soon as you enter, look right again to find a small hidden staircase. Walk up the staircase and follow the path until you find a massive stone you can push using your horse.

Push the stone forward three times, then head around to the side of it that’s closest to the cavern entrance. From this new angle, push it forward twice to get it situated on top of the pressure plate. Then, walk over to the other plate near the left end of the room to open the door. Head through the doorway to find the first crystal you can interact with and destroy.

Remove the crystal in the green area behind it

Walk around to the backside of the Wishblossom of Hope to enter the green area. Interact with the elevator switch on your left to activate it, then follow the pathway until you reach a dead end. At the end of this path, you’ll find another crystal you can break.

Remove the crystal in the pink area to its left

The last region you need to explore is the pink area, found around the left side of the Wishblossom. As soon as you enter the pink cave, turn left and trot over to the elevator. Interact with the switch to head down.

At the bottom, you’ll find another massive stone that needs to be moved. While riding your horse, walk at it to push it forward three times. Then, loop around the left side of it to push it two more times from a different angle. Once the stone is in place, head back to the elevator to return to the main level.

Follow the path deeper into the pink cave, then make a right just before you reach the half-open door. Continue down the path until you find a bridge. Interact with the lever to lower it, then cross over to access a new area. On the other side, you’ll find a pressure plate you can stand on to open the previously blocked door.

With both pressure plates now activated, head back across the bridge and walk forward to find the newly opened doorway in the middle of the cave. Interact with the red crystal on the other side to break the final one.

Talk to the Wishblossom of Hope

Now that all three crystals are destroyed, return to the main cavern to check on the Wishblossom of Hope. Chat with the Wishblossom about what’s happened and to learn more about what’s gone wrong in Wishblossom Ranch.

Ride Maximus

Reviving the Wishblossom frees none other than the trusty steed Maximus from Tangled. He’s the first iconic Disney horse you’ve found in your journey, and he’s ready to help you out. Approach Maximus and mount him to progress to the next step.

Reach the crystal archway behind the Wishblossom of Hope

Head around to the backside of the Wishblossom of Hope while riding Maximus. Locate the orange part of the room, then start galloping towards the pool in it to jump right over it using Maximus’s special super jump ability.

Follow the pathway forward, jumping across all gaps you encounter, to exit the cavern. As soon as you do, you’ll return to the main cave area where Tinker Bell is waiting. Talk to her about what happened, and the Crystal Cavern: Wishing Alps quest will officially be complete. Next, it’s time to work on The Decay of Fashion mission.
