Key Takeaways:

1. Unlocking the Fallen Fortress quest requires 5,000 Story Magic and progresses the main Storybook Vale questline in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
2. Team up with Flynn Rider to craft shining armor and choose a squire (Flynn or a baby dragon).
3. Lower the drawbridge using the Royal Net to complete the quest and proceed to the Fairy Tale Trial.

Disney Dreamlight Valley offers countless magical adventures, but few are as thrilling as the Fallen Fortress quest. This pivotal journey bridges the gap to unlocking the third Fairy Tale Trial and meeting legendary characters like Maleficent. However, it’s not just about exploration Dreamers must prove their worth as knights

Here’s everything you need to know to conquer the Fallen Fortress quest and lower that elusive bridge.

Unlocking the Fallen Fortress Quest

The journey begins in The Everafter biome, where Dreamers must spend 5,000 Story Magic to unlock the Fallen Fortress area. Upon entry, you’ll discover a disconnected bridge and a mysterious note nearby. This triggers the Fallen Fortress quest.

You’ll quickly learn from Flynn Rider that the only way to proceed is to craft a shining suit of armor and find a squire, proving yourself worthy of entering the fortress.

Crafting the Shining Suit of Armor

Flynn Rider provides you with a drawing of the Fairy Tale Armor, the key to lowering the bridge. To craft this armor, you’ll need to gather the following materials:

• Iron Ingots x5: Combine 5 Iron Ore and 1 Coal Ore at a crafting table.
  • Where to Mine Iron Ore: Frosted Heights, Forest of Valor, Glade of Trust, Sunlit Plateau, Vitalys Mines, and Forgotten Lands.
  • Where to Find Coal Ore: Any biome in the Dreamlight Valley universe.
• White Rose x3: Found in The Everafter or occasionally in Wild Woods. If there aren’t enough, wait for them to respawn.
• Opal x2: Mine rock spots in The Bind.
• Star Sapphire x2: Found by mining in The Everafter.

Once you’ve collected all these materials, return to a crafting bench, select “Functional Items,” and craft the shining suit of armor.

Choosing a Squire

With your armor complete, Flynn will emphasize that every great knight needs a squire. Dreamers have two options:

1. Hang out with Flynn to solidify your bond as a team.
2. Tame a Baby Dragon from the Everafter (optional but fun).

Taming a Baby Dragon

If you opt for the baby dragon, you’ll need patience and the right resources. Here’s a guide to locating and befriending them:

Baby dragons love any gem, but they particularly enjoy Magma Gems and Pure Ice. Feed them daily to gain their trust and unlock them as companions.

Lowering the Bridge and Completing the Quest

After choosing your squire, return to the Fallen Fortress. Equip your armor suit and speak to Flynn to prepare for the final steps:

1. Interact with the pulley system near the drawbridge. Use the Royal Net to turn the wheel and lower the bridge.
2. Cross the bridge to reach the gazebo and activate the Fairy Tale Trial gate.

Completing these steps will finish the Fallen Fortress quest and lead you directly into the Knights of the Round Table mission, where the next chapter of your adventure begins.

Tips for Success

• Mining Efficiency: Focus on biomes rich in ores like The Bind and Everafter for quicker material collection.
• Dragon Spawning Times: Time your game sessions to align with your chosen dragon’s active hours for efficient taming.
• Patience for Respawns: White Roses and mining nodes may take time to reappear, so plan ahead.
