The Forgotten Lands of Disney Dreamlight Valley could be considered the closest thing to an endgame in this new life-sim from Gameloft. Aside from looking like the perfect place to throw a Halloween party, the Forgotten Lands have a massive amount of resources that are entirely unique to that biome, and all of them could be considered endgame resources. The Forgotten Lands are also a good place to get clay as well.
One such example of these resources would be Crystals. Though there currently isn't much that can be done with them during the beginning of Early Access in Disney Dreamlight Valley, this guide will help players find Crystals and provide information on what they are used for.
How to Get Into the Forgotten Lands
Before Disney Dreamlight Valley players can stock up on all the resources unique to this biome, they will first need to unlock the Forgotten Lands. Of all the biomes and realms that need Dreamlight to unlock them, the Forgotten Lands are the most expensive since it takes 15,000 Dreamlight to destroy the large Night Thorns blocking the way. If players happen to be short on Dreamlight, completing some duties will help them get into the Forgotten Lands. Once the way is clear, players will be free to gather Crystals.
How to Get Crystals
Just like with Iron Ore, Crystals are primarily gathered by mining rocks throughout the Forgotten Lands. Disney Dreamlight Valley players should focus on the large black rocks along the walls of the biome, as those will drop a larger amount of Crystals.
Crystals can also be found on the ground periodically as well, but gathering them through mining is a much more reliable farming method. There are also gems unique to the Forgotten Lands, so players should make sure to save some room in their inventory for any gems that happen to drop while gathering Crystals.
What Are Crystals Used For?
While Crystals could be considered an endgame resource, there are not all that many recipes in the game that use them. Crystals are used to make an Elegant Gazebo, but it takes some significant resource grinding to craft it. The materials needed are 10 Crystals, 10 Diamonds, 200 Dry Wood, and 50 Glass. Another recipe that uses Crystal is for a Haughty Snowman. While this recipe only needs one Crystal, it does require two Rubies which are currently not in the game.
Since Disney Dreamlight Valley just entered Early Access, it is likely there will be more recipes in the future that require Crystals. It is also highly likely that future Story Quests and Friendship Quests will require Crystals, so players looking to prepare for the first major update to the game should stock up on Crystals and other similar resources just in case they end up being needed for anything.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
