Exploring Side Quests in The Storybook Vale DLC
The second expansion of Disney Dreamlight Valley, The Storybook Vale, brings a wealth of story-driven and friendship quests to engage players. Following the pattern set by the previous DLC, A Rift in Time, this new addition introduces exciting new characters, including Flynn Rider, Hades, Maleficent, Merida, and The Codex, a mystical book filled with secrets. In addition to these fresh faces, familiar villagers may also request your assistance as you navigate through the enchanting Vale of Tales.
As you venture through various biomes such as The Binding, The County of Tales, and Mythopia, you’ll automatically unlock quests connected to the DLC’s storyline. Keep an eye out for lost items from other characters not linked to the expansion, including The Beast, who seeks to recreate ‘Belle’s Enchanted Day’, and Olaf, who is on a quest to discover a new hobby in the Vale of Tales. Below, we’ll guide you on how to start and complete Olaf’s quest, ‘A Hoot And A Half’.

Step-by-Step Guide to Completing Olaf’s Secret Quest
If you have the The Storybook Vale DLC, you can initiate Olaf’s quest by picking up ‘Olaf’s Fun Facts’ located near the sofas in the east wing of the Library of Knowledge in The Binding.
Next, engage in a conversation with Olaf to return his notes, then follow him to witness his dialogue with The Codex.
Your next task is to find Anna to brainstorm new hobby ideas for Olaf. For this, you’ll need to capture photos of the following items:
- The Library of Knowledge in The Binding (any spot will suffice).
- The intriguing secret door beneath the bridge of The Binding, which you discovered with Merida during the quest ‘A New Chapter’.
- Two fountains, which can be any fountains found in the area.
- Three different owls; you may need to wait until the next day to photograph the last one. For their appearance times, refer to our owl guide.
After you’ve completed this task, return to Olaf, who will express a newfound interest in the owls. To assist him, you’ll need to tame at least one owl by offering it barley or cereal.
Once you’ve successfully tamed your owl, revisit Olaf, who will propose crafting ‘owl seats’ using the following materials:
- 10 petrified wood: Gather this from rocky outcrops or by breaking petrified wood piles found in The Binding and The County of Tales.
- 5 trumpet snails: Harvest these from the ground in The Binding.
- 5 soil: Dig up this resource from the ground in The Binding.
- 10 pine cones: Collect these from around the trees in The Binding.
- 1 wizard hat hermit crab: Fish for this creature at the orange circles in The Binding.
Once you have gathered the materials, craft an Autumn Mage Scarecrow from the Furniture tab at a crafting station, and place it anywhere you desire in The Binding. After completing this task, have one final conversation with Olaf to receive your rewards: 5 barley and 500 tale magic.
