Disney Dreamlight Valley is a Disney world of miraculous content and quests, with The Infestation Part 1 being the most interesting among them. This quest is all about assisting Timon and Pumbaa with a problematic invasion of the Night Mites, small creatures who cannot be affected by regular Dreamlight Magic.
To get rid of these pests, you'll need to collect rare ingredients and craft a unique tonic and outfit to boost your character's abilities. As part of a friendship quest, you'll assist Timon and Pumbaa in leveling up your bond. If you're looking to complete this quest, check out this guide for all the steps you'll need to follow.
How to Trigger the Quest
To begin The Infestation Part 1 quest, you must raise your Friendship level with Timon and Pumbaa to level 10. Additionally, you'll need to complete a task involving catching a Night Mite and finish the quest "A Creepy Crawly Mystery." Once these requirements are fulfilled, the quest will trigger. Start by having a conversation with Timon, where he will explain more about capturing Night Mites and how to eliminate their nest.
Catch the Night Mites
After discussing the Night Mites with Timon, your first objective is to catch three of them, which can be found around the Plaza. Since they are very small creatures, be careful not to miss them. It's a good idea to investigate the Night Mite nest, as doing so will lure more of them out, making it easier to catch all three. Once you’ve captured the Night Mites, return to Timon for further instructions.
Speak with The Forgotten
Timon tells you to take advice from The Forgotten, a character who knows about dark magic. After speaking with the Forgotten, you will get the recipe for a Dreamlight Boost Tonic and Night Mite Wing. The tonic will boost your Dreamlight Magic and allow you to face the Night Mite Nests, and the outfit will give you an attire similar to Mite, that will help you while dealing with the infestation.
Gather Ingredients
To craft the Dreamlight Boost Tonic and Night Mite Wings in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you will need to collect some ingredients. Here is how to locate each one of them:
For Dream Light Tonic
- Night Mushroom - 3x: These mushrooms can be found in the hidden room of the Frosted Heights of the game. You will have to visit this secret place and collect three mushrooms.
- Ginger - 1x: Ginger can be gathered from the Vitalys Mines. You will need to visit the mines and harvest them directly from the wild plants that grow there.
- Sugarcane - 1x: Sugarcane can be purchased from Goofy’s stall on the Dazzle Beach easily. Alternatively, you can also grow Sugarcane from seeds but it is faster to buy than planting as it takes more time.
For Night Mite Wings
- Gold Nugget - 3x: The Golden Nugget is a rare resource that can be found by mining gem nodes in the Sunlit Plateau. These nodes are spread across the plateau and have a possibility to drop Golden Nuggets together with gems. Continue mining until you collect three.
- Fabric - 5x: Fabric can be crafted from Cotton. You can grow Cotton directly from its seeds or purchase it from Goofy’s stall in Sunlit Plateau. Keep in mind that Cotton takes approximately 25 minutes to grow, so you can purchase it directly to avoid wasting your time.
- Fiber - 30x: Fiber is made from Seaweed which can be obtained while fishing. Make sure to collect sufficient Seaweed as you will need 30 Fibers.
Craft Dreamlight Boost Tonic and Night Mite Wings
After gathering all the necessary materials, head over to the crafting and cooking stations. First, prepare the Dreamlight Boost Tonic at the cooking table. Once you've made the tonic, go to the crafting bench to create the Night Mite Wings using the collected ingredients. While you're at it, it is important to wear the purple outfit that The Forgotten recommended for this part of the quest.
Remove the Night Mite Nests
Once you've consumed the Dreamlight Boost Tonic and donned the Night Mite Wings, you're fully equipped to tackle the Night Mite Nest. Head back to the nest and unleash your upgraded Dreamlight Magic abilities to eliminate it. After clearing the first nest, you can continue using your newfound powers to eradicate other nests, ridding the Valley of the Night Mites completely.
Once you have removed the first Night Mite Nest, return to Timon and share your progress. Timon will suggest that you find Pumbaa to continue the effort of eliminating the remaining nests. This completes the first part of the quest and starts the Infestation Part 2 quest.
