A New Directive Walkthrough
In Disney Dreamlight Valley's "A Rift in Time" expansion, adorable robot EVE was charged with guarding the Royal Hourglass. After you retrieve the Hourglass during Jafar's Quest "The Flying Metal Nuisance," EVE is unlocked as a Villager. Her first Friendship Quest, "A New Directive," sees EVE feeling lost after so much time spent guarding the Hourglass. She needs you to help her find a new purpose!
Feed Two Monkeys
Start by suggesting that EVE should relax and do something fun, such as feeding two of the Monkeys who wander around the Ancients' Landing biome.
Monkeys' favorite food is the Banana Split, a 5-star Dessert made using one Banana, one Slush Ice, one Sugarcane, one Milk, and one Sweet item of any kind. However, you do not have to feed Monkeys their favorite food for this Quest - any food they willingly eat will do. Monkeys will happily eat any 3-star or above Meal.
Before letting you feed it, a Monkey will run around wanting you to chase it. Catch the Monkey three times to be allowed to Approach and feed it.
Unlock EVE's Secret Garden
EVE had fun feeding the Monkeys, but it made her realize what she really wants: to see WALL-E again. She asks you to open The Overlook, an area of Ancients' Landing.
Unlocking the Overlook costs 6000 Mist. You can earn Mist by Timebending with your Royal Hourglass, clearing out Swirling Sands,or completing Mist Duties on Eternity Isle.
Once you have opened the Overlook, follow EVE to a small secret area. She explains that it used to be a garden she shared with WALL-E, but it is missing its decorations.
Find The Garden Decorations
EVE realizes that the garden is missing two items, which are hidden in Swirling Sands found around Eternity Isle. Use your Royal Hourglass to clear away the Swirling Sands and claim the items inside.
The BnL Traschan Planter is found in a Swirling Sand in the Docks, located against a wall near Goofy's Stall.
The BnL Picnic Blanket is also found in the Docks. It is underneath the waterfall, next to the door leading to the secret hangout spot.
Gather Flowers For The Garden
Once you have found the two items, EVE also needs you to gather some flowers and a few Gems to bring color back to the garden. Collect the following from around Ancients' Landing:
- 3 x Orange Bird of Paradise - Foraged in The Docks and The Courtyard.
- 3 x Yellow Bird of Paradise - Foraged in The Docks and The Courtyard.
- 3 x White Bird of Paradise - Foraged in The Docks and The Courtyard.
- 3 x Red Luminescent Flower - Foraged in The Overlook and The Ruins.
- 2 x Jade - Mined from Rock Spots in The Courtyard and The Overlook.
Watch EVE And WALL-E's Reunion
Bring all of your gathered materials to EVE in her secret garden. She will fix up the garden, and then invite WALL-E to come see it with her.
Observe the conversation between EVE and WALL-E. Then, take 3 Photos of the two of them together. Finally, talk to EVE, who reveals that her new directive is taking care of the secret garden along with WALL-E. She's content - well, at least until her next Friendship Quest, that is!
