Ariel’s transition to having legs in Disney Dreamlight Valley isn’t just a cosmetic change; it’s sparked a desire to rebuild her collection of human artifacts. The “Thingamabobs, Gadgets, and Gizmos” quest, available after reaching Friendship level 7 with Ariel, tasks players with recovering these treasured items and providing her with a dedicated crafting station. It’s a charming quest that highlights the game’s focus on character interaction and collection, but also requires a bit of exploration and resource gathering.
How to Complete Thingamabobs, Gadgets, and Gizmos
Completing this quest involves a straightforward series of collection and crafting tasks. Players need to locate three specific items scattered throughout the villagers’ homes and then gather the resources to build Ariel a custom Crafting Station. The quest is gated behind unlocking Minnie Mouse, Remy, and WALL-E, as well as clearing the path to the Frosted Heights, ensuring players have progressed a significant way through the game before undertaking it.
Talk to Ariel and then WALL-E
The quest begins by speaking with Ariel after she reaches Friendship Level 7 and gains her human form. She expresses her longing for her collection and directs the player to consult with WALL-E for clues. WALL-E immediately provides one of the items – a Story Book – and offers guidance on locating the remaining three.
Collect the Whisk, Spinning Top, and Gramophone
The remaining items are found within the homes of other villagers. The quest requires visiting Remy’s House for a Kitchen Whisk, Minnie’s House for a Gramophone, and Donald’s House for a Spinning Top. These items are simply placed on surfaces within the homes, awaiting collection. Upon returning with all four items, Ariel discovers the Gramophone is broken, initiating the next phase of the quest.
- The Whisk is located at Remy’s House.
- The Gramophone is found at Minnie’s House.
- The Spinning Top is at Donald’s House.
Gather Materials for Ariel’s Crafting Station
To repair the Gramophone and provide Ariel with a dedicated space for her collection, players must craft a special Crafting Station. This requires gathering the following materials:
- 40 Sand: Obtained by digging on Dazzle Beach.
- 20 Hardwood: Foraged from the Forest of Valor, Glade of Trust, Sunlit Plateau, Frosted Heights, or Forgotten Lands.
- 10 Scallops: Collected from the shores of Dazzle Beach.
- 10 Gold Ingots: Crafted from 5 Gold Nuggets and 1 Coal each. Gold Nuggets are primarily found in Sunlit Plateau.
- 3 Aquamarine: Mined from rock nodes in Dazzle Beach or Forest of Valor.
Once all the materials are gathered, players can craft Ariel’s Crafting Station at any standard Crafting Station and deliver it to Ariel, completing the quest and increasing their Friendship level with her by 880 points. This quest exemplifies the game’s blend of exploration, resource management, and character-driven storytelling.
