How to ‘get some Night Shards to lighten up’ in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Well, that was easy.

The confusing duty name and what you need in Disney Dreamlight Valley

As part of the new A Day at Disney Star Path event in Disney Dreamlight Valley, there are a lot of new duties to complete and some of them come complete with vague or riddle-esque descriptions. One of these makes it sound like Night Thorns are terrible at parties, but I promise you don’t have to cheer them up.

You can be forgiven if the description for this duty has you stumped, but the answer is actually pretty simple – all you need to do to complete this duty is craft the listed number of Purified Night Shards.

To make Purified Night Shards, you’re going to need two things:

  • 5 Night Shards
    • Crafted at a Crafting Station using three Onyx
    • Found when clearing away Night Thorns
    • Found when digging in sparkling mounds in any biome
  • 1 Dream Shard
    • Critters can drop Dream Shards when fed a food that they like
    • Found when clearing away Night Thorns
    • Found when digging in sparkling mounds in any biome

Once you’ve got the required materials, simply head to a Crafting Station and find Purified Night Shard under the Potions and Enchantments tab.
