Completing Merlin's storyline in Disney Dreamlight Valley unlocks major upgrades for your tools, allowing players to access restricted areas across the village. The final quest in his friendship line requires careful gathering of rare ingredients, crafting specific items, and solving environmental steps. By reaching level 10 with Merlin, players gain access to this critical storyline quest that permanently enhances the Royal Watering Can.
Starting The Final Trial Quest
To initiate the quest, players must first reach maximum friendship level with Merlin and ensure WALL-E is unlocked in the valley. Speaking with Merlin in his house provides the instructions needed to begin assembling the required enchanting components. He will tasks you with crafting Purified Night Shards and gathering unique magical ingredients scattered across different biomes.
Preparing beforehand makes this multi-step process much smoother for players looking to finish it quickly. Gathering resources like Night Shards and Dream Shards in advance reduces the overall downtime spent digging up glowing spots around the realm.
Gathering Rare Ingredients
The quest requires three key items: Falling Water, an Ice Heart, and Purified Night Shards. Falling Water can be collected near the southern waterfall located in the Glade of Trust biome. The Ice Heart requires planting the Ice Tear Seed given by Merlin into the ground, watering it, and harvesting it once grown.
Crafting five Purified Night Shards requires combining regular Night Shards with Dream Shards at any crafting station. Once all three primary components are collected, players must speak with WALL-E to crush the extra items into powder as requested by Merlin. Combining all these ingredients creates the Royal Watering Can Upgrade Enchantment.
Upgrading the Royal Watering Can
With the Royal Watering Can Upgrade Enchantment in hand, head back to Merlin to complete the ritual. Applying the enhancement permanently upgrades your tool, allowing it to destroy large purple mushrooms throughout the valley. Clearing these stubborn obstacles grants players full access to blocked paths in the Glade of Trust and other biomes.
This permanent tool upgrade is essential for completing future quests and reaching hidden chests located behind mushroom gates. Returning to Merlin after trying out your upgraded watering can officially finishes the quest, awarding special cosmetic items and completing Merlin's character storyline.
