Disney Dreamlight Valley: Where to Find A Neat Bird with the Darkest Feathers in the Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s first major storyline concludes with the quest, “The Dark Castle,” in which the player teams up with an unexpected ally to fight against the Forgetting, the curse that has affected the memories of the Village’s residents. After the story’s epic conclusion, The Forgotten, a shadowy version of the player character with a troubling past, will join the residents of the Village.

While the player will regularly encounter The Forgotten exploring Dreamlight Valley and can hold conversations with their dusky doppelganger, they do not yet offer the same utility as the Village’s other inhabitants. The player cannot raise their Friendship with The Forgotten, and they do not offer exclusive, unlockable rewards. Additionally, The Forgotten cannot be given a companion role, nor do they have a home in the Village. Instead, the Forgotten resides in the Dark Castle, accessible through a portal in the Village’s Plaza.

As the game progresses through its Early Access period, new content is regularly added, and it is very well possible that The Forgotten could one day fully settle down in the Village. Following a recent game update, players of Disney Dreamlight Valley can now start a new quest series by speaking with The Forgotten. Additional quests will gradually unlock over a yet unannounced period.

Starting the Quest "The Magic in Everything"

The quest, “The Magic in Everything,” is the first new quest the player can undertake once The Forgotten has been redeemed and can now be found wandering the Village. In this quest, the player learns that, while grateful to have been invited to join the residents of Dreamlight Valley, The Forgotten is restless and nostalgic for the life they once had.

In an attempt to raise their spirits, the player offers to take photographs of specific things around Dreamlight Valley that once brought The Forgotten significant joy. The Forgotten has three fond memories they share with the player, which they will need to seek out and take photos using the Camera too l.

What is The Neat Bird With The Darkest Feathers in the Valley

One target of The Forgotten’s photo tour has proven to be trickier to identify than their other requests. The Forgotten asks the player to capture a photo of, “a neat bird with the darkest feathers in the Valley.” While there are numerous birds in the valley feature dark wings, only one is entirely and is the correct bird to fulfill The Forgotten’s request: the Classic Raven.

How to Find The Neat Bird With The Darkest Feathers in the Valley

To photograph the “neat bird with the darkest feathers in the Valley,” the player needs to head to the Forgotten Lands biome and seek out the Classic Raven critter. While some of the other ravens, including the Red Raven and Blue Raven, do feature dark black wing tips, the Classic Raven is entirely coated in black feathers and is the bird players need to photograph for the quest “The Magic in Everything.”

Like all of Disney Dreamlight Valley’s wild critters, the Classic Raven can be found in the Forgotten Lands only on certain days and between specific hours. Fortunately, it's among the Valley's more common wildlife, giving players multiple opportunities to track down this all-black bird.

The Classic Raven spawns in the Forgotten Lands on the following days and times:

If the player has unlocked the Classic Raven as a companion through continued gift-giving of its favorite items, they can simply equip this critter via the Wardrobe menu and then take a photo with it, which will count toward the quest’s objective. This makes it much easier for the player to complete this part of the quest without having to wait for one of the days the Classic Raven will regularly spawn.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S
