Disney Dreamlight Valley requires players to find and obtain Night Shards in order to progress certain aspects of the game, and we’ve put together this useful guide to help you out.

The beauty of Disney Dreamlight Valley is that there’s so much cool stuff to do, and there is a purpose for doing it. Night Shards are a prime example of this as they are an uncommon resource needed to help you access new parts of the game and earn rewards.

Similar to the happier Dream Shards, Night Shards need to be collected and stored for this very purpose, so without further ado, let’s jump into the ways you can go about procuring them.

Where to find Night Shards in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Unlike other items in the game that have multiple ways of being found, Night Shards can only be gotten through one method – using your Royal Shovel inventory item to dig up sparkling mounds scattered through Dreamlight Valley.

That’s it! Furthermore, there aren’t pre-determined sparkling mounds that you know will give you Night Shards on every visit, it’s all up to chance.

So make sure you set aside a few minutes to go around various sparkling mounds to dig them up and hope you get lucky in your pursuit of Night Shards.

What do Night Shards do in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

Every now and again a quest will ask you to deliver a select number of Night Shards entirely dependent on the quest and the needs of the character who wants them.

The actual number of quests that feature Night Shards is relatively low though, so you won’t need to be mound-hunting often. But if you run by one, then it wouldn’t hurt to stockpile a few for a rainy day.


Now that you know everything about Night Shards, what they do, and how to get them in the game’s early access phase, let’s also tell you how to get Emeralds in Disney Dreamlight Valley, as well as how to remove mushrooms too.
