Disney Dreamlight Valley's Storybook Vale expansion introduces a plethora of new ingredients, some easier to acquire than others. Mussels, a type of seafood crucial for certain recipes, can be particularly elusive. This guide clarifies their location and usage.
Mussels: A Tasty, Water-Filtering Mollusk
Described in-game as a tasty mollusk surprisingly adept at water filtration, Mussels are found exclusively in specific Storybook Vale biomes. Their sporadic spawn rate can make them challenging to locate.
Mussel Hunting Grounds in Mythopia
Mussels are found on the ground throughout Mythopia, specifically within these areas:
- The Elysian Fields
- The Fiery Plains
- The Statue's Shadow
- Mount Olympus
While some players report easily finding Mussels in these locations, others experience difficulty. Spawn points seem to vary, with some appearing near Trial areas (e.g., near Hades' initial Trial in the Elysian Fields).
A Hidden Mussel Hotspot
A significant cluster of Mussels can be found concealed behind a secret bush area in the Elysian Fields, revealed during Hades' "A Moth to a Flame" quest. Uncovering this area may increase Mussel spawns across Mythopia.
Utilizing Your Mussel Harvest
Unlike some other seafood, Mussels aren't used in crafting. Their primary purpose is as a cooking ingredient in these Storybook Vale recipes:
- Garlic Steam Mussels
- Mussel Risotto
- Steamed Mussels
Alternatively, consume Mussels for a +150 energy boost or sell them for 75 Gold Star Coins at Goofy's Stalls.
