To start The Curse quest with Mother Gothel in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you must first unlock the Glade of Trust biome. Once the biome is unlocked, find Mother Gothel and get your first quest from her.
This quest requires you to return the Valley back to normal by putting an end to the dark magic that has been sent to destroy its inhabitants. However, many players are stuck on completing the quest, and this guide will contain your complete walkthrough.
How to Start the Curse Quest in Dreamlight Valley?
To start the Curse quest, you must first raise your friendship levels with Merlin, Ursula, and Kristoff. Once the quest is triggered, find Merlin and talk to him about the cursed tree in the Glade of Trust.
Explore the area and move toward the large tree, which will open the way to a cabin door.
Head inside to find Mother Gothel and talk to her as she reveals how returning the Orb of Trust to its pillar can bring life in the valley back to its bright side.
Find Merlin
After talking to Mother Gothel, your next objective is to find Merlin at Dazzle Beach. Once you’re at the beach, you will find him conversing with Ursula. Let them finish the chat so you can get new objectives for the quest.
Find Out if Ursula Can Help You
Once Merlin leaves, you need to get near Ursula to talk to her.
Talk to Merlin About the Curse
After talking to Ursula, find Merlin and talk to him again to move forward with the quest.
Unfortunately, talking to Ursula will increase the number of tasks on your list since she asks you to convince Kristoff to sacrifice his love for Anna and wipe out his memories of the village. You’ll need to collect Night Shard (x5) and Dream Shard (x5) and convince Kristoff to help you with the spell.
Meet Ursula in the Cave
After completing all the requirements and convincing Kristoff, it’s time to meet Ursula to perform the spell. Move to the right corner from the beach, and you will get to the cave where you first found Ursula.
Give the Ingredients to Ursula
Once you hand Ursula all the ingredients, she opens a portal to the Here and There, and you turn into a ghostly figure entering the Glade of Trust. Cross the bridge, collect the Orb of Trust ahead, place it on the pillar, and watch as the darkness disappears from the Valley.
Lastly, your body will be given back, and you must take this opportunity to visit Mother Gothel at the cabin and talk to her to complete the Curse quest.
The Curse Glitch Fix in Disney Dreamlight Valley
After finding Merlin in Dazzle Beach, you need to speak to him, but unfortunately for most players, he doesn’t communicate with Ursula. There are a couple of fixes for this glitch.
After a brief chat with Merlin, head back to Mother Gothel and speak to her again. Once your conversation with Mother Gothel ends, return to Merlin, and you might catch him talking to Ursula. If they’re still not talking, cast a fishing pole to get Ursula’s attention, and when you have caught something, they will begin talking.
If casting pole fix didn’t work for you, move Maui’s House; this will get them to talk. Another trick is to push Merlin near Ursula and it might fix the glitch.
