How to complete A New Recruit in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley introduces yet another set of quirky sidekicks: Mulan and Mushu. As you’ve come to expect, you’ll have to complete some chores for them before they can actually join the Valley with you.

If you can’t wait to see the crazy shenanigans Mulan and Mushu will get up to in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you must complete A New Recruit first. This main quest whisks you away to the Mulan realm and introduces you to both characters. In true DDV nature, you must clean up the biome, find a lot of hidden objects, and learn a new recipe for a grumpy and demanding Mushu. Unsurprisingly, this is easier said than done. In this guide, I’ll show you how to complete A New Recruit in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

To start A New Recruit in DDV, update your game so it’s up to date with The Lucky Dragon update. Then, head inside the Dream Castle and spend 15000 Dreamlight Magic to unlock the thorny door behind which lies Mulan’s realm. Inside, speak with a grumpy Mushu to start this quest.

To complete A New Recruit in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you must clean the camp, find your Training Uniform, and cook Mushu’s Congee to meet Mulan.

Cleaning the camp

After having a word with Mushu in the training camp and being scolded for your lateness, you must clean up the camp in DDV. Here’s what you must do:

  • Break up eight Rocks: With your Royal Pickaxe, break the regular and bigger rocks scattered all over this realm.
  • Dig out 12 Rice Spills: These are the white-colored piles you can find on the grass. Dig them out with your Royal Shovel.
  • Flip over the cauldron: Interact with the Cauldron near the training camp’s entrance to flip it over.

When ready, speak with Mushu again to progress to the next quest objective.

After cleaning the camp, it’s up to you to dress appropriately. Here’s every Training Uniform piece location in Disney Dreamlight Valley:

  • Training Shoes: Exit through the door next to the cauldron and head up the hill. You can spot the Training Shoes next to a large boulder right past the lake.
  • Training Pants: Follow the path through the tall boulders and pick up the Training Pants from the tree.
  • Training Shirt: Inside the camp, look for the Training Shirt on the first tent to the golden bell’s right.
  • Training Socks: Inside the camp, look for the Training socks on the first tent to the cauldron by the fireplace’s left.

Report back to Mushu to hand him the Training Uniform in DDV.
