Disney Dreamlight Valley ‘Diamond in the Rough’ Quest Guide

After resolving the bug problem and collecting the Scarab key in 'The Wild Tangle's Swarm' quest, it's time to finally explore the Cave of Wonders. Here's how to work through all the puzzles.

How to complete 'Diamond in the Rough' quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The first step of this quest is simple; all you have to do is follow the Scarab to the large sand pile in The Wastes, where the Cave of Wonders will be opened up. Once the Scarab stops moving, be sure to Interact with it to reveal the cave. Then it's time to head inside, leaving poor Gaston behind.

How to find a way to open the gate in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Now you will start a few different puzzles to work your way through the cave. The first one requires you to find a way through the blocked gate.

To open up the gate, venture off to the left from the Jafar comm and clear the shards out of the way as you do. You'll find a Power Core on the ground. Pick it up and place it in the slot on the wall right before you. This will restore power to the lever of the gate.

Head back the way you came and pull the lever near the gate to lower the barrier and allow you to continue on to the next puzzles.

How to activate Light Interrupters in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Your next step will require two different puzzles to be solved to get you through the next gate. Two Light Interrupters need to be activated to do so.

Light Interrupter One

For the first Light Interrupter, take the path on the left to enter into another room.

Continue straight ahead, clearing the shards to find the Ancient Mirror on the ground. You'll need to grab this, head back into the hallway you entered from, and place it on the wall where the mirror is missing.

Next, continue toward the right past the spot where you found the mirror and pull the lever on the wall so that the laser appears and shines across to the next level (you'll want the light to be reflecting off the mirror spot on the wall above the lever).

Follow the laser down to the next lever and repeat the same action, ensuring the light is reflecting off the mirror back toward the main gate.

Follow the laser again back to the gate, where you'll need to pull the last lever to raise up the mirror so that the light from the other lasers reaches it. This will activate the first Light Interrupter for the gate.

Light Interrupter Two

The next Light Interrupter puzzle is fairly easy, and you can find it by following the doorway to the right side of the gate. This puzzle will require you to power up the core in the center of the tiled floors. To do so, you'll need to make a track that draws power from the powered core on the wall to the center.

All you need to do is properly rotate all the tiles on the board so that they create a path. The lines should match up perfectly if you have them in the right spots. However, you'll also want to make sure that they lead to the powered core. Take a look at the pictures above to help you position all of them.

Once you have all those tiles positioned, head over to the powered core and rotate the last piece to draw power across the rest of the board and to the center. This will power up the core in the center and allow you to grab it.

Now bring the core back to the gate and place it in the empty slot on the right side of the gate. This will activate the second Light Interrupter and lower the gate for you to cross through.

Now you're in the home stretch. Head through the gate and grab the Jewel of Time from the statue and then you can use the shortcut to return to Gaston and announce your success!
