Unlocking Mulan’s Realm in Disney Dreamlight Valley initiates a quest series set in a military base camp. Here, you’ll start the introductory quest, A New Recruit, and prepare for training alongside Mushu and Mulan.
Disney Dreamlight Valley A New Recruit quest walkthrough
Disney Dreamlight Valley’s A New Recruit quest starts immediately upon unlocking the Mulan Realm in Dream Castle for 15,000 Dreamlight. Upon entering, you’ll explore the Realm, discovering a base camp, forest, and Mushu standing on a box. From here, you’ll have three main objectives to complete:
- Clean up the camp.
- Find pieces of your Training Uniform.
- Prepare Mulan’s breakfast.
Clean up the Mulan Realm camp
Once you enter the Mulan Realm for the first time, you’ll enter a forest leading into a camp. Head in here to find Mushu, a small red dragon who’ll lead you through this quest.
After some brief dialogue involving Mushu accusing you of being a spy, he’ll recruit you to clean up the camp. This consists of breaking rocks around the base, digging up rice spills, and flipping over a spilled rice cauldron.
The easiest part of this section is picking up the rice cauldron, as you can find this directly left of Mushu in front of one of the camp entrances. Interact with this before looking around for the rocks and rice bowls. You’ll find every boulder and bowl within the camp vicinity. Be sure to look around the following areas:
- Around Mushu
- Near the rice cauldron
- Behind the golden gong
- Near the tents within the camp.
You won’t find any bowls or rocks hiding in small corners of the camp or a secret area. However, you’ll have to look behind a few tents, so make sure to look around them all.
Once you dig up your 12 rice spills and eight rocks, return to Mushu to begin looking for your training uniform.
Find pieces of your Training Uniform
After you clean up the camp, Mushu will comment on how it looks as good as new. However, you won’t be able to start your training until you find pieces of your uniform. Unfortunately, these pieces are scattered around the Mulan Realm.
There are four pieces you’ll need to find during the quest:
- Training Shirt
- Training Socks
- Training Shoes
- Training Pants
Finding the training shirt and socks requires searching two tents within the camp while the pants and shoes are in the forest.
The first part is the training shirt, which you’ll find in a tent near Mushu. Head to the back of the camp where the golden gong is to open the tent, find its storage interface, and claim your shirt.
Next are your training socks, which are also in a tent. This time, you’ll have to go to the tents on the opposite side of the camp, near the rice cauldron exit. Interact with it to take your socks and venture out into the forest.
For the training shoes, you’ll need to head out of the exit near the rice cauldron. After exiting the gate, make an immediate left turn and follow the path until you see the shoes resting on a rock.
Lastly, you’ll find the training pants in a tree outside the camp. Backtrack to the training shirt tent before leaving through the nearby gate. Cross the bridge and turn left to find the tree along the dirt road, which you can interact with to obtain your pants.
With all four training uniform items on hand, it’s time to return to Mushu and wrap up the A New Recruit quest.
Prepare Mulan’s breakfast
The last section of this quest involves cooking some breakfast for Mulan. During your dialogue with Mushu, he’ll tell you about a nearby table with ingredients for this meal, revealing that you’re making Mushu’s Congee for her. Turn left toward the cauldron to find the table filled with the following items:
- Rice
- Eggs
- Mushrooms
- Garlic
- Ginger
Gather each item and use the congee recipe book Mushu gave you to unlock its autofill option in the cooking menu. Now, you can interact with the campfire near Mushu to make the Congee.
With Mushu’s Congee in hand, ring the nearby golden gong to wake Mulan. Give her the dish to immediately end the New Recruit quest, leading into The Dragon Army as the next mission.
