How to complete the Eyes in the Dark quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley

When you first enter the kingdom, the quest ‘Eyes in the Dark’ will begin. You will meet Nala and see that she is roaring into your eyes in the darkness surrounding the Dry Oasis.

Approach Nala and talk to her, use any of the conversation options you want (we try to respond), and Nala will realize that you are not a threat.

After a brief conversation, Nala will head out to contain the hyenas and now it’s your job to find a way to block the path so they don’t get close. To do this, you need to find and grow five thorn bushes.

Where to Find Thorn Bush Seeds in Dried Out Oasis

To find Thorn Bush seeds in Dried Out Oasis, look for growths emerging from the ground that look like very pale Night Thorns. We have circled one in the image below:

Dig this up to get a Thorn Bush seed and some additional materials. You will need to do this with all five growths in the area to obtain the necessary seeds. Then, once you have the seeds, head to the ledge at the back of the Dried Out Oasis.

An easy way to find it is to stand at the entrance portal that faces the area and then head to your right. When you find the ledge, there will already be holes in the ground to place the seeds. All you need to do is plant the five seeds and water them once for the bushes to grow.

Then the path will be blocked, Nala will return to you and you can proceed to the next stage of this quest.

How to unlock the cave entrance

You will then learn that you must clear the cave entrance to reach the jungle on the other side. To do this, simply use your shovel to dig up the dead tree stumps and then talk to Nala again.

If, as happened to us, Nala doesn’t notice that you’ve cleared the path, then head through the cave into the jungle and then back to the Dried Out Oasis. Nala should then register that the path is clear and you can talk to her.

Now, you must head into the jungle to find Simba, but Nala will inform you that you must find a way to climb down the log next to the waterfall to reach the next area, since Simba is nowhere to be found.

To lower the log, walk up to the waterfall until you are in front of it and then look up and to the left. You should see this:

The log in the right corner is the one you want to knock down.

Use your pickaxe to break the rocks at the bottom of the cliff below the raised log. This will then lower the log and give you a path to reach the next area.

Find Simba!

Cross the new bridge and follow the path to the next area. Then all you have to do is talk to Simba, but remember to say ‘Hakuna Matata’! He lets the conversation flow and then follows Simba to see his reunion with Nala.

Then, talk to Simba again and the next stage of this quest will begin.

Where to find slimy bugs and colorful bugs

Nala is hungry and Simba wants to show her all the good food in the jungle. She will ask you to find slimy bugs and colorful bugs. Slimy Bugs can be found in the river next to Simba. Fish them like she would anything in the Valley. You need three slimy bugs.

The colorful bugs can be found in the Dried Out Oasis (where you met Nala). You can get the colorful bugs by digging up the glowing dirt areas of the Oasis. Dig them up as you would anything in your Valley. You need six colorful bugs.

Take them to Simba, who will inform you that it is not enough. Now you also need to find Red Bugs; After all, a dish should be slimy but satisfying.

Where to find red bugs

Red Bugs can be found in the area where you met Simba. Head to the area and use your shovel to dig up one of the dry tree stumps in the area.

We dug up the stump in the middle of the area.

Once you dig one up, the Red Bugs will shoot out and scurry around the area. They are very fast and you must catch them all.

When you have caught all the bugs, you will need to make a bug dish. There are some steam pipe type things in front of Simba and Nala that can be used for cooking.

Insect dish recipe

Once you’re back in your kingdom, head to a stove and follow this Bug Platter recipe:

  • 2x red insects
  • 2x colorful bugs
  • 1x slimy bug

This yields a portion of Bug Platter; You will need to prepare this dish three times.

After making some food (literally), give the plates to Nala. However, danger lurks in the dark!

Drive away the hyenas

The hyenas have returned and are approaching you, Nala and Simba. Then you get the idea to trick the hyenas, but you need help to do it. He returns to the Valley while Simba and Nala keep them at bay.

Nala is counting on you!

Go and talk to Scrooge McDuck, he will give you an old sound system that needs some repairs to use to scare away the hyenas.

How to repair the sound system

To repair the sound system in the ‘Eyes in the Dark’ mission in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you will need:

  • x10 Soft wood
  • x5 hard wood
  • x2 iron ingots

When you have the right materials, head to a workbench. You’ll find the sound system under the “Furniture” tab at the top.

Create/repair the system and then return to the Lion King’s kingdom. Give the sound system to Nala and watch the story come to an end.

Welcome Nala!

After chasing away the annoying hyenas, Nala will want to come to your kingdom. All you need to do is create a place for her to stay. She returns to the Valley and places Pride Rock wherever you want her to go.

Place Pride Rock as you would place furniture. When you access the furniture menu, you should have a special request from Nala. This is where you will find Pride Rock. Then, place it and pay Scrooge 15,000 coins to build it. It’s a pretty big structure, so we took it to Dazzle Beach for now.

That’s it, once Pride Rock is built, Nala will come to your valley!
