How To Get Prince Eric In Dreamlight Valley Guide
Unlocking Prince Eric is one of the most rewarding milestones in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but it requires a bit of patience. Unlike characters who arrive early in the story, bringing this nautical prince back to the village involves completing an extensive quest line. Understanding the prerequisites will help you streamline your gameplay and welcome him to your valley smoothly.
Prerequisites for Unlocking Prince Eric
To begin the journey of unlocking Prince Eric, players must first unlock both Ariel and Ursula. You will need to reach level 10 friendship with Ursula and complete her final quest, titled "A Deal With Ursula". Finishing this quest grants you the "Poor Unfortunate Eric" item, which officially kicks off Eric's rescue storyline.
You must also ensure that Ariel is rescued and living in the valley. Ariel plays a pivotal role in performing the magic necessary to bring Eric back in human form. Having both characters ready will save you time once the final quest starts.
Completing the Poor Unfortunate Prince Quest
Once you possess the Poor Unfortunate Eric item, speak to Ariel to share the news. She will direct you to Merlin, who provides the instructions needed to restore Prince Eric. Merlin will hand you the blueprints for Eric's Castle, which must be placed somewhere in the valley.
Building the castle requires paying 10,000 Star Coins to Scrooge McDuck. After construction is complete, step inside the castle to retrieve a special item from the table. This item is Eric's flute, an object deeply connected to his memories.
Welcoming Prince Eric to the Valley
Take the flute back to Ariel so she can complete the magic transformation. This action officially restores Prince Eric and welcomes him into your village. Shortly after his arrival, he will ask for a few homemade meals to regain his strength.
Preparing the requested dishes will allow you to witness his heartwarming reunion with Ariel. Once the quest is finished, you can begin leveling up your friendship with Prince Eric. This unlocks unique rewards, new storyline quests, and blueprints for his specialized crafting table.
