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 locations. Their infrequent and unpredictable spawning can make them challenging to locate.
Finding Mussels in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Mussels are found on the ground within Mythopia, specifically in these areas:
- The Elysian Fields
- The Fiery Plains
- The Statue's Shadow
- Mount Olympus
While some players report finding Mussels easily, others experience difficulty. They may appear sparsely or in specific spots. The image below highlights potential Mussel spawn points near Trial areas, such as the one near Hades' initial Trial in the Elysian Fields.
Interestingly, 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 Mussel spawns across Mythopia.
Mussel Uses in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Unlike other seafood, Mussels aren't used in crafting. Their primary use is as a culinary ingredient in these Storybook Vale recipes:
- Garlic Steam Mussels
- Mussel Risotto
- Steamed Mussels
Alternatively, consuming a Mussel restores 150 energy, or you can sell them for 75 Gold Star Coins at Goofy's Stalls.
