After completing the Friends Aren’t Food and Breaking Bones quests in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you’ll gain a shovel upgrade to break small Wildebeest bones. A new problem has arisen, though. You can’t break large Wildebeest bones yet! Scar wants this issue solved to help revitalize the Sunlit Plateau, so he tasks you with upgrading your shovel once more. If you’re interested in learning more, continue reading to find a comprehensive guide on completing the Circle of Life quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Circle of Life Quest Guide

Below are the steps for completing the “The Circle of Life” quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley:

To begin the quest, you’ll have to complete the prerequisite mission, Breaking Bones, and reach at least level seven friendship with Scar. After meeting these requirements and speaking to him, he’ll show dismay over your shovel’s relatively weak power and request that you talk to Mother Gothel to fix this.

Upon speaking to mother Gothel about the problem, she’ll ask for you to gather 10 Purified Night Shards and Old Bones. Below describes how to find each resource:

After gathering the necessary materials and returning to Scar, your character will note that you must turn the Old Bones into Ashes. He’ll mention that there is a Volcanic Geyser in his cave where you can burn the ashes. Go to the Elephant Graveyard and turn right after entering his house. You’ll find a small grey geyser, roughly the height of your character, that you can interact with. Place the Old Bones inside and pick up the Ashes that drop.

Once you gather the ashes, you have two options:

Regardless of your option, you’ll eventually get a Flower of Bones. Using this Flower of Bones and your ten Purified Night Shards, head to any nearby crafting station and make the Roaring Shovel Head. Much like the first shovel upgrade from the previous quest, you’ll have to interact with this one in your inventory to improve your shovel.

Now that you have a stronger Royal Shovel, go to the northwestern bridge in the Sunlit Plateau and break the three large Wildebeest Bones blocking the way. Speak to Scar one last time to wrap up the Disney Dreamlight Valley Circle of Life quest!
