Completing Nala's final friendship quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley is a major milestone that requires careful preparation and resource gathering. The mission titled "Here and There and Back Again" serves as the level 10 finale for the iconic lioness, tasking players with closing mysterious rift portals scattered across the village. Following a structured roadmap ensures you can navigate every objective smoothly and unlock valuable end-game rewards.
Gathering Crafting Materials and Enchanted Hearts
To begin resolving the dimensional instability, players must consult Ursula to receive three Enchanted Hearts. These magical components are necessary to construct enchanted Lioness Statues that stabilize the environment. You will need to collect specific gemstones, including Aquamarine, Amethyst, and Citrine, alongside extra quantities of Sand and Clay.
Mining Aquamarine requires exploring Dazzle Beach or the Forest of Valor, while Amethyst is obtained in the Frosted Heights or Forgotten Lands. Citrine can be gathered from rock spots located in the Glade of Trust or Sunlit Plateau. Digging up Sand along the shoreline and gathering Clay from muddy biomes will complete the material list for crafting.
Placing the Lioness Statues at Rift Locations
Once you assemble all three Lioness Statues at your crafting station, open your inventory menu to locate them. You must place one statue near each rift portal located in Dazzle Beach, the Frosted Heights, and the Glade of Trust. Proper positioning around these magical anomalies is essential to suppress the dark magic and progress the storyline.
After setting up the statues, speak with Nala to report your progress and receive further instructions. This step grants you the permanent ability to encounter and catch the elusive Here and There Fish throughout your valley. If you encounter difficulty placing items or navigating biomes, referring to a comprehensive can help optimize your layout.
Catching the Here and There Fish
Acquiring the legendary Here and There Fish involves understanding specific daily time windows rather than relying on standard fishing spots. These unique creatures appear in open water during morning hours between 6 AM and 10 AM, as well as evening hours from 6 PM to 10 PM. You do not need to aim for colored ripples, as casting your fishing line into plain water works effectively.
Reeling in this rare catch allows you to advance to the final stage of Nala's friendship line. Once caught, bring the fish directly to Remy so he can evaluate its culinary potential. He will share a special Lioness Feast recipe designed to celebrate the restoration of peace across the valley.
Preparing the Lioness Feast and Final Celebration
Cooking the Lioness Feast requires combining your caught Here and There Fish with extra ingredients like Mushrooms, Tomatoes, and Oregano. Tomatoes can be purchased or grown at Dazzle Beach, while Mushrooms spawn freely around the Glade of Trust. Oregano grows abundantly throughout the Plaza, making the remaining ingredients quick to collect.
Head to any standard cooking station, combine all four ingredients, and prepare the celebratory meal. Deliver the completed Lioness Feast directly to Nala to finish her final quest and cement her place as a permanent protector of the valley. Completing this objective wraps up her storyline and rewards you with unique decorative items.
