Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Storybook Vale expansion has multiple Snippet types you’ll need to collect to re-order the Lorekeeper’s pages. Re-ordering these pages involves solving puzzles that, when completed, unveil stories involving various Disney characters.

While you’ll learn about regular Snippets early in your playthrough, it’ll take some time to discover Shadow Snippets. Let’s dive into how to find and use Shadow Snippets in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where to find Shadow Snippets in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Finding Shadow Snippets in Disney Dreamlight Valley requires progressing far enough into the expansion’s storyline to begin the A Storm of Stories quest. A Storm of Stories is part of the expansion’s second chapter, requiring you to unlock every biome, meet multiple of the story’s characters, and complete most of their storylines.

Once you start the A Storm of Stories, you’ll collect your first batch of Shadow Snippets from a mysterious vortex. Afterwards, you’ll find these rare variants flying around The Bind, Everafter, and Mythopia. Below is a breakdown of where to find each type:

Shadow Bird Snippet: The Bind and the Library of Lore
Shadow Frog Snippet: All of Everafter
Shadow Demon Snippet: All of Mythopia

Since they’re rarer than their regular counterparts, it may take some time for you to find your first one. Thankfully, once you spot your first few, they’ll start to appear regularly. Be on the lookout for them during your travels.

Hanging out with a villager with the Snippet Catching hangout bonus can also help. This bonus gives you a chance to collect two Snippets instead of one, making it much easier to stockpile a bunch.

How to use Shadow Snippets in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Much like their regular variants, Shadow Snippets are a key part of re-ordering the Lorekeeper’s pages. Below is a breakdown of every story involving these Snippets and how many you need:
