Disney Dreamlight Valley's Storybook Vale expansion introduces a wealth of new ingredients, some easier to find than others. Mussels, a key ingredient described as a surprisingly water-filtering mollusk, can be particularly elusive. Unlike some shellfish, they only appear in specific Storybook Vale biomes, and their spawn locations can be unpredictable.
Unlocking Mussel Spawns in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Mussels are found on the ground throughout Mythopia, specifically in these areas:
- The Elysian Fields
- The Fiery Plains
- The Statue's Shadow
- Mount Olympus
While some players find them readily, others report infrequent spawns. One potential hotspot is near trial areas, such as the first trial in the Elysian Fields (Hades' unlock). The image below highlights possible spawn locations.
Furthermore, a cluster of Mussels can be found behind a hidden bush in the Elysian Fields during Hades' "A Moth to a Flame" quest. Unlocking this area may increase overall Mussel spawns in Mythopia.
Utilizing Mussels in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Unlike other seafood, Mussels aren't used in crafting. Their primary use is in these recipes:
- Garlic Steam Mussels
- Mussel Risotto
- Steamed Mussels
Alternatively, consume them for a +150 energy boost, or sell them for 75 Gold Star Coins at Goofy's Stalls.
