How to Get Rid of Stumps
Some biomes in Disney Dreamlight Valley, have obstacles, like giant rocks or mushrooms, that prevent you from fully exploring the area. In this IGN wiki guide, we'll cover how to remove the tree stumps blocking the bridges in the Forest of Valor.
How to Get Rid of Stumps
When you unlock the Forest of Valor Biome in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you'll notice there are tree stumps blocking the way to the other side of the forest. This can be frustrating considering you already had to spend lots of Dreamlight just to get this biome unlocked and now half the area is unexplorable.
However, there's a way to get those pesky stumps clear out.
Unlocking Anna
The first thing you need to do is unlock the Frozen Realm in the Dream Castle for 4,000 Dreamlight. Once that's done, make sure you complete all realm quests so Anna can move back to the Valley.
With Anna back, you'll need to increase her friendship to at least level 2. You can do this by having a daily conversation with her or giving her her favorite gifts.
Completing "An Icy Invitation"
After leveling her friendship bar to level 2, you'll unlock Anna's first quest "An Icy Invitation." This quest revolves around finding a perfect spot in the valley where Elsa can feel comfortable.
The only problem with that plan is that that perfect spot seems to be on the other side of the bridges in the Forest of Valor, and there are tree stumps blocking the way.
To get rid of them, you'll need to go to Anna's house in the Valley and find a book with the information you need to root out the tree stumps. You'll then need to gather the following items:
- 10 Softwood - Available everywhere except Dazzle Beach
- 4 Hardwood - Available in Forgotten Lands, Frosted Heights, Sunlit Plateau, Glade of Trust, Forest of Valor
- 4 Iron Ingots - Made using 5 Iron Ore and 1 Coal each
- 3 Tinkering Parts - Made using 2 Iron Ingots each
With everything you need in your inventory, go to a crafting station to craft the Shovel Blade. Open your inventory to use this item and upgrade your shovel.
With your shovel upgraded, head to the Forest of Valor and clear out the stumps. Each stump you clear will give you softwood and hardwood.
