Mood Swings quest walkthrough in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley is full of woe during Joy’s Mood Swings quest. Despite Joy being all about happiness and energy, her recent Capture the Sun game has inadvertently led to some villagers feeling gloomy and exhausted. Let’s check up on everyone and see what’s causing this.

Starting the Mood Swings quest

Starting the Mood Swings quest requires reaching level four friendship with Joy and completing Sadness’ Storm’s A-Brewin! mission. Upon reaching these requirements, you’ll be able to talk to Joy, who’ll tell you about Donald, Goofy, Merlin, and Vanellope’s recently developed sadness.

After discovering this new predicament, your next task is to check up on everyone. Talk to Donald, Goofy, Merlin, and Vanellope to learn that they all feel uncharacteristically tired and sad. They have no idea why, making the situation even more suspicious.

Break some of Donald’s furniture

After a brief chat with Joy and Sadness about your findings, you’ll all decide to help Donald Duck first. Enter his house and tell him about your current plan—destroying his furniture. More specifically, you’ll break his couch, table, and bookshelf in an attempt to release some of his bottled-up emotions.

All three furniture items are inside his house. The table is beside his bed, while the couch is in front of the door. The last item, the bookshelf, is right next to Donald Duck.

Unfortunately, destroying everything doesn’t make him feel better. You and Joy decide to help Merlin next in hopes that your next plan will bear some fruit.

Help Merlin by cleaning the Dreamlight Library

Our next objective is to help Merlin feel happier. After entering his Dreamlight Library home, you’ll quickly notice that it’s a disaster, with potions all over the floor and spiderwebs scattered around. We’ll need to clear away everything before talking to him.

Most of the potions are out in the open, with one tucked away behind some books in the back corner of the library. Similarly, you’ll find the spiderwebs in relatively open areas, with two on the right side of the room and one behind Merlin’s desk. You won’t need any of your Royal tools to clear everything, but you will need to return the potions to the book pile next to the library’s entrance.
