The third update of A Rift in Time in Gameloft’s Disney Dreamlight Valley brings a long questline for Jafar. Completing it will allow players to unlock him as a permanent Dreamlight Valley resident to live alongside other cute villagers.
The Lesser Evil is the final story quest for Jafar that you can start after escaping the black and white island in the Now and Then quest. Read this guide to learn how to complete The Lesser Evil Quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Disney Dreamlight Valley: How to Unlock Tiana’s Meal Stall
After unlocking Tiana as a villager, players can help her open a meal stall in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Here's how.
How to Complete The Lesser Evil Quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley
After trapping Jafar in a genie lamp and sharing the Spark of Imagination with the villagers at the end of the Now and Then quest, players might not expect to need Jafar's help. But soon, you will realize that you need his dark magic to stop a new, dangerous threat in a new quest.
Find a 2D Object and Talk to Oswald
The quest begins after you grab a strange 2D object. Since it looks like Oswald, go and ask him about it. The lucky rabbit will explain that he turned some items into 2D during one of his experiments.
All 2D Object Locations (The Lesser Evil Quest)
After talking to Oswald, you’ll need to find all the 2D objects on Eternity Isle. The first is a flat cactus in The Plains. The second is a flat tree located in The Grassland, and the last one is a flat statue at The Docks. You can check out the video for exact locations of all these objects.
Once you’ve collected all the flat objects, go find Merlin and give them to him. He’ll tell you that to break the magical spell on these objects, you’ll need Jafar’s research notes because no one understands magic better than him. He might be evil, but he’s your go-to guy when it comes to magic.
Find Jafar’s Research Notes in Palace Laboratory
Next, you will need to visit Jafar’s Palace Laboratory, the same lab where you did the Jafar’s Laboratory quest earlier. Once in the lab hall, saviors can look for Jafar’s Notes on the raised platform.
Once you’ve got all the notes, head back to Merlin and hand them over. Merlin will now reveal that the magic is pretty weird and that only Jafar can handle this two-dimensional stuff. Since Jafar is stuck in the genie lamp, the protagonist needs to free him to figure this out. Sounds risky, but that’s the only option you have.
How to Get Jafar Out of the Lamp in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To free Jafar from the lamp, you’ll need to head to the Cave of Wonders in The Wastes of the Glittering Dunes biome. Once inside, look for the Statue of Time in the deepest part of the cave. Place the golden lamp in the statue’s arms by interacting with it, then use the Royal Hourglass to free Jafar.
