Disney Dreamlight Valley continues to captivate players with its deep narrative updates and engaging magical storylines. One of the final stages of the main storyline involves tracking down objects tied to the Forgotten's past to unlock the way to the Dark Castle. Among these mysterious items is a childhood drawing that requires dealing with a notorious prideful villain.
How to Unlock the Forgotten Relics Storyline
Before players can find this specific item, they must first complete the Miracles Take Time quest line with the Fairy Godmother. After completing the subsequent memory quests and waiting a full twenty-four hours, Merlin will task you with finding items imbued with dark magic. Finding the initial relic will officially unlock the quest tracker for the remaining hidden items across the valley.
It is highly recommended to focus on leveling up your friendship bonds before diving deep into this hunt. You must complete the level ten friendship quests for specific characters like Scar to ensure you can progress through the final stages. Having these relationships maxed out prevents unwanted progression blocks when you attempt to extract the memories from the relics.
Finding the Forgotten Drawing in the Plateau
The dark magic drawing can be found lying directly on the floor inside Scar's cave, which is located in the Sunlit Plateau biome. The cave is usually situated inside the giant skull structure within the Elephant Graveyard unless you have previously moved it. Once you enter the lair, the glowing piece of paper will be immediately visible on the ground waiting to be retrieved.
Picking up the item will officially start the secondary objective titled Forgotten Relics: The Drawing. The item itself depicts a surprisingly cute childhood drawing of Scar, which immediately contrasts his usual terrifying demeanor. With the item securely inside your inventory, you will need to confront the lion directly to uncover the history behind it.
Confronting Scar and Completing the Quest
Locate Scar within the valley and initiate a conversation to ask him about the mysterious paper found in his cave. If you have successfully finished his level ten friendship quest, The Making of a Monarch, he will reluctantly share his memory. He will admit that the drawing was created by the Forgotten long ago and that he secretly kept it because he found it charming.
Once Scar reveals the backstory behind the relic, this specific segment of the story quest will automatically conclude. After successfully finding the remaining items scattered in the other biomes, you can return to Merlin to report your overall progress. Uncovering all the childhood items will ultimately allow you to open the dark portal and venture into the final showdown.
