Most of the quests in life simulator Disney Dreamlight Valley involve helping the various Disney and Pixar characters who inhabit the magical valley. One rare exception to this trend is the recently implemented Secret Quest, which requires collecting potatoes of various colors hidden around the Valley and using them to brew potent potions. If you find every potato and brew every potion, you can unlock a special secret reward!
This is probably the trickiest quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley, as the game features almost no hints about how to complete it. This guide will cover how to find each of these potatoes hidden around the Valley. A second part will include how to brew the necessary potions.
How To Unlock The Mysterious Golden Potato
The Mysterious Golden Potato is the first potato you can find, and it is also the easiest to acquire. A few months ago, a strange code appeared in a social media post shared by the official Disney Dreamlight Valley team. Luckily, this code is still active and does not seem to have an expiration date.
Simply go into the “Settings” menu in game, head over to the “Help” tap and find the area labeled “Redemption Code.” Enter the following:
GPOT-OATO-LDFS-ENNM
Shortly after you enter this code, you will receive the Mysterious Golden Potato in your mailbox. It may take up to one in-game day for the potato to appear.
If this code is not working for you, try talking to Scrooge McDuck when he is in his Store. Some players have reported that Scrooge has given them a Golden Potato from his vault.
How To Find The Red Potato
With the Golden Potato in your inventory, head to Remy’s house. You will notice some sparkles surrounding Remy’s counter and refrigerator. Head up to the counter to get an “Interact” prompt. Click this prompt to receive the Red Potato. (You cannot complete this step if Remy has not moved to Dreamlight Valley, because his house will not be in place.)
How To Find The Orange Potato
Before starting this quest, make sure you have completed Scrooge McDuck’s Friendship Quest “Treasure Hunt” and received the item Lenses of Shadow as your reward. Head to your Wardrobe tab and equip the Lenses of Shadow, as you will need to be wearing them the entire time. These Lenses help you locate secrets hidden around the Valley.
Instead of looking for the Orange Potato itself, you will need to use the Lenses of Shadow to find 20 Orange Pebbles scattered around the Valley. The Pebbles can ONLY be seen when wearing the Lenses! These pebbles are also TINY and can be quite difficult to notice, especially in the Castle itself as they tend to blend in with the patterned floor. Additionally, all Realms where Pebbles are found must be unlocked by spending Dreamlight before you can enter them and search.
They are found in the following locations:
- 3 in Dream Castle
- Behind the pillar on the second floor balcony
- By the pillar to the left of the entrance
- Beside a potted plant near the rightmost door on the top floor
- 3 in the castle’s Secret Room (unlocked by completing Mickey Mouse’s Friendship Quest “The Secret Door”)
- Next to the green couch and burlap sack
- At the base of the hanging shelf
- Between the three barrels and Mickey’s workbench
- 4 in the Moana Realm
- Next to the campfire
- At the point of the sand spit
- In the grassy area, beside a palm tree
- Next to the large pile of rocks beside the banana tree
- 1 in the Ratatouille Realm
- On the floor next to the sacks of peanut
- 2 in the WALL-E Realm
- In a corner next to a planted sapling and the broken-down road
- Between the broken refrigerator and the Crafting Station
- 3 in the Frozen Realm
- Behind the standing stone with the teardrop pattern
- Next to a rectangular rock midway through the forest
- In front of the second exit portal, in the deepest part of the Realm
- 4 in the Toy Story Realm
- Next to the blue book with white clouds on it
- Inside the closet, under the drawing of a blue elephant
- Beside the red backpack near the exit portal
- Beside the bed, next to the light blue puzzle-shaped carpet
Once you have collected all 20 Orange Pebbles, head to the nearest Crafting Station. Under the Functional Items tab, you will find a recipe for Orange Potato. Craft the Orange Potato using the 20 Orange Pebbles.
How To Find The Blue Potato
Once again, make sure that either the Golden Potato or Gleaming Golden Potion is in your inventory. Then, head to Ursula’s house and pick up the Blue Potato that is lying on the ground. (You will first have to have completed the story quest “With Great Power” and freed Ursula from her confinement. Otherwise, her house will not appear in the Valley.)
How To Find The Purple Potato
To obtain the Purple Potato, you first need to rescue Olaf from his confinement and have him move to Dreamlight Valley.
Head to the Frosted Heights and enter the Secret Chamber where you found Olaf. (It is located in the northeastern part of the biome, against a rock wall.) Inside, a new Portal has appeared. Interact with the portal to hear a strange voice. The voice says “Speak the right words” to be rewarded.
To learn the right words, you will need to locate ten Purple Books scattered around Dreamlight Valley. Each book will have one highlighted word in its text that is part of the correct solution. The Purple Books can be found in the following locations:
- Inside the Secret Chamber, near the white crystal. Word: Crystal
- Underneath the dock on Dazzle Beach. Word: Magic
- Inside the cave on the far left of Dazzle Beach, where Ursula was found. Word: Foraging
- On the staircase between Dazzle Beach and Peaceful Meadow, next to a palm tree. Word: Dreams
- At the entrance to the Glade of Trust from the Peaceful Meadow, at the base of the large tree. Word: Higitus Figitus
- On the leftmost set of stairs of the staircase leading from the Peaceful Meadow to the Plaza. Word: Potato
- Inside Scrooge McDuck’s Shop, at the top of the left staircase. Word: The Forgetting
- On the lip of the fountain in the Plaza. Word: Book
- Against a stone next to the waterfall between the Sunlit Plateau and the Glade of Trust. Word: Fugu
- Inside the Vitalys Mines in the Sunlit Plateau, next to two wooden pillars with a lamp attached. Word: Raspberry
Once you have collected the ten Purple Books and learned the right words, return to the portal inside the Cavern. Speak the words in the order they were used in the books. (Each book has an Entry Number you can see when interacting with it. The correct order follows the entries from earliest to latest.)
In each case, you will need to choose the correct word from one of three choices. Choosing the wrong word at any point will require you to start again from the beginning. The right words in order are:
Potato – Book – Dreams – Higitus Figitus – Fugu – Crystal – Foraging – The Forgetting – Raspberry – Magic
If you speak all ten words correctly, the voice will acknowledge your success and the Purple Potato will pop out of the portal. It will land on the ground, so make sure to pick it up and put it right into your inventory.
How To Find The Green Potato
To find the Green Potato in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you first need to unlock Simba from The Lion King and raise his Friendship Level to 7. Doing this will start a quest called Seed of Memories. You do NOT need to complete “Seed of Memories” to unlock the Green Potato, you just need to start it!
During this quest, Simba will ask you to find a secret room located in the Vitalys Mines in the Sunlit Plateau biome. To find this room, enter the Mines and cross the bridge to your right. From there, continue straight a short way until you encounter an empty doorframe surrounded by faintly glowing rocks. Interact with this frame to make the door to the Herbalist Room appear. Enter this room to find a green Crystal Ball sitting on a desk. Interact with the Crystal Ball to receive the Green Seed.
With the Green Seed in your inventory, leave the mines and pass through the Sunlit Plateau to the Forgotten Lands. Plant the Green Seed anywhere in the Forgotten Lands, and then water it. It will typically take several hours in real time (about three) for the Green Seed to grow, although you can speed it up by applying Growth Elixir to your Watering Can. (Miracle Growth Elixir requires 10 Vitalys Crystals, 10 Rich Soil, and 500 Dreamlight, while Even More Miraculous Growth Elixir requires 20 Vitalys Crystals, 20 Rich Soil, and 1000 Dreamlight.)
You only have to water the Seed once, so feel free to spend the waiting time completing other quests and tasks in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Once the Green Seed has grown, interact with it to receive the Green Potato!
Unfortunately, these potatoes are useless on their own – so, once you’ve collected all six, it’s time to brew them into colorful potions. These potions can be used to unlock a very special friend who can accompany you throughout your Disney Dreamlight Valley adventure!

What do you think of the Mysterious Potato secret quests in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Which is your favorite? Comment below and let us know!
I was only able to find 19 orange pebbles. Only 2 are spawning in Mickey’s secret room. I pressed a through out the room. Anyone else have this issue, or know an alternate area one may spawn? Thanks for this page btw!!
Hey! I didn’t encounter this issue, but my first suggestion would be to close out the game and let it reload. The pebbles are tiny and it could be that they are not spawning properly especially in Mickey’s cramped and crowded room. You could also try taking off the Lenses of Shadow and putting them back on again to see if that resets it. Hope that helps!
you would have gotten a book from Mickey’s room… in there you can interact with the bookcase, the last pebble is in that secret room 😀
I have 19 as well can’t find the last one in frozen by the exit
When I enter the code for the golden potato I’m getting a message saying it doesn’t exist- am I too late to join the quest then?
Go to scrooge’s vault, I found mine there today
I can’t get the green seed it doesn’t let me interact with the green crystal ball
