Disney Dreamlight Valley Golden Potato quest solution

Find out what the mysterious golden potato does and how to start its unique quest

Disney Dreamlight Valley [64 articles]" href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/disney-dreamlight-valley/">Disney Dreamlight Valley has a secret quest involving a Golden Potato.

It's been confusing players for many months now, but with each major update we get closer to a potential solution.

How do you get the golden potato, and what do you do with it once you get it?

In this guide we explain the full Disney Dreamlight Valley Golden Potato solution so far.

The location of the Golden Potato was changed in the June 2023 update, so we’ve updated this in our guide.

First of all, you have to actually get the Golden Potato if you don't already have it.

Until recently, you had to redeem the following code: GPOT-OATO-LDFS-ENNM

This would have had the Golden Potato turn up in your mailbox.

Since the June 2023 update, however, the Golden Potato has now been moved and can be found sitting on top of the safe in Scrooge's shop, so if you haven't claimed it yet that's where to find it.

Once you get your Golden Potato, put it in your Inventory. You need to be carrying it in your Inventory, otherwise the quest can't actually start.

With the Golden Potato in your possession, head to Merlin's house and look on the table to the right.

You’ll see a book with a photo of the potato in it, and four numbered diamonds.

These are called Transfiguration Stones, and the aim is to find and use them in the correct order to transform the Golden Potato into different things.

To find the first Transfiguration Stone, go to Dazzle Beach and enter the Mystical Cave.

Head down the hill, then head down again, until you find the first stone on a table to your left.

Interact with it and you’ll be prompted to choose an item. The Golden Potato should be the only one available.

Choose the Golden Potato and it’ll turn into a Golden Carrot, which will then drop on the floor.

Be sure to pick it up before you leave, because without it the rest of the quest will be a lot more difficult. As in, it’ll be impossible.

Once you’ve got your Golden Carrot, the next step is to travel to the Forest of Valor.

Once you’re there, enter Elsa's ice cave.

The next Transfiguration Stone will be sitting on the table directly facing you as soon as you enter the cave.

Once again, if you interact with it you’ll be prompted to choose an item, and once again you’ll only be able to choose the Golden Carrot.

Do this and it’ll turn into a Golden Crab, which again will fall onto the floor.

Pick it up and it's onto the next part of the quest.

The next step requires you to head back to the Plaza.

Once there, you have to enter the Dream Castle itself, and walk up the right hand set of stairs.

Keep walking all the way up to the top floor of the castle, where the giant fountain can be found.

Walk to the fountain, turn back to face the entrance, and on the balcony you’ll see the third Transfiguration Stone.

By this point you should know what's going to happen next – you’ll get another prompt to select an item, and you’ll only be able to choose the Golden Crab.

Select that, and it’ll transform into a Golden Night Thorn, which will once again drop to the floor.

Pick it up and you’re ready for the final step (for now).

The fourth and final Transfiguration Stone is back at Merlin's House, which is quite sneaky really.

Head to his house and go back to the table on the right, where you found the book about the Golden Potato in the first place.

The fourth Transfiguration Stone has been sitting there the entire time, but you can actually interact with it now.

Do this and you’ll once again be asked to choose an item. Select the Golden Night Thorn and it’ll turn into a Gleaming Gold Potion.

At this point, the quest ends for now. The potion's description says it "has the power of the sun to bring warmth to something gone cold" but it's not quite clear what this means yet.

Keep checking back on this guide, because as new steps are added to the quest (usually when major updates are released) we’ll continue to update the guide until the final step is released and we all finally get to find out exactly what that Golden Potato (or Gleaming Gold Potion, as it is now) does.
