Disney Dreamlight Valley's Storybook Vale expansion introduces a host of new ingredients, some easier to find than others. Mussels, a key ingredient described as a surprisingly water-filtering mollusk, present a particular challenge. Unlike other shellfish, Mussels only appear in specific Storybook Vale biomes, and their spawn locations can be unpredictable.
Unlocking Mussel Spawns in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To harvest Mussels, explore these Mythopia areas:
- The Elysian Fields
- The Fiery Plains
- The Statue's Shadow
- Mount Olympus
While some players find Mussels readily available across these areas, others report infrequent spawns. The image below highlights potential spawn points near Trial areas, such as the one adjacent to the Elysian Fields' first Trial (Hades' unlock).
A cluster of Mussels can be found behind a hidden bush in the Elysian Fields during Hades' "A Moth to a Flame" quest. Clearing this area may increase Mussel spawns throughout Mythopia.
Utilizing Mussels in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Mussels aren't used in crafting, unlike other Storybook Vale seafood. However, they are essential ingredients in these recipes:
- Garlic Steam Mussels
- Mussel Risotto
- Steamed Mussels
Alternatively, consume Mussels for a +150 energy boost, or sell them for 75 Gold Star Coins at Goofy's Stalls.
