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, Mussels only appear in specific Storybook Vale biomes, and their spawn locations can be unpredictable.
Locating Mussels in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Mussels are found on the ground throughout Mythopia, specifically within these areas:
- The Elysian Fields
- The Fiery Plains
- The Statue's Shadow
- Mount Olympus
While some players report easily finding Mussels in these locations, others experience less frequent spawns. Note that spawns may cluster near Trial areas, such as the one near Hades' initial Trial in the Elysian Fields.
A significant Mussel cluster can be found behind the secret bush area in the Elysian Fields during Hades' "A Moth to a Flame" quest. Unlocking this area may increase Mussel spawns across Mythopia.
Utilizing Mussels in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Unlike some Storybook Vale seafood, Mussels aren't used in crafting. Their primary use is as a cooking ingredient in these recipes:
- Garlic Steam Mussels
- Mussel Risotto
- Steamed Mussels
Alternatively, consuming a Mussel restores 150 energy, or they can be sold for 75 Gold Star Coins at Goofy's Stalls.
