After wrapping up the Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Rift in Time expansion, you’ll be working alongside Jafar to uncover the reason why random 2D objects are appearing on Eternity Isle. Over time, he’ll conduct numerous alchemical experiments, and the Serpent’s Gift quest will delve deeper into his discoveries.

Disney Dreamlight Valley The Serpent’s Gift quest guide
The Serpent’s Gift is a quest that you’ll unlock after reaching friendship level seven with Jafar. Once you’ve reached that level and spoken to Jafar, he’ll tell you about a discovery he made during his latest alchemical experiments. Following the conversation, he’ll give you four Imagination Generators to place in the following locations:
- The Lagoon
- The Borderlands
- The Docks
- In front of Oswald’s house
You’ll need to make a quick trip to Eternity Isle and position the generators in these biomes and in front of Oswald’s house. It doesn’t matter where Oswald’s house is or exactly where you place each generator as long as they’re within the three listed regions.

After placing down all four generators, you’ll have to wait for ten minutes for them to charge up. This is a great time to befriend a villager, work on another quest, or complete a task in an ongoing Star Path.
Cheering up Oswald with poutine
Once you’ve waited at least ten minutes for the Imagination Generators to charge up, you’ll need to return to Oswald to hear his thoughts on the situation. Even though the generators were supposed to make him happier, they had the opposite effect, leaving him feeling empty inside.

So, what’s the initial solution to this dilemma? Poutine. As a Canadian who’s had poutine countless times over the years, I think this was a brilliant idea on the protagonist’s part.
Cooking poutine in Disney Dreamlight Valley requires obtaining the following ingredients:
- Potato
- Canola
- Cheese
The easiest way to get potatoes and cheese is to visit the Forest of Valor and the Forgotten Lands to buy their seeds or purchase them fully grown. Alternatively, the Wild Tangle and Ancient’s Landing often sell these items, allowing you to stay on Eternity Isle if you wish. Cheese is the easiest of the three to find, as you can buy it from Chez Remy for 180 Star Coins.

Now that you have some delicious poutine for Oswald, it’s time to deliver it. While he’ll seem happy at first, you’ll both realize it didn’t do much, prompting your character to check in with other villagers to see if they’re experiencing the same issue.
Checking up on other villagers
Once you’re ready to set out once more, you’ll need to check in with the following villagers:
- Gaston
- Scrooge McDuck
- Rapunzel
As you talk to each villager, you’ll quickly notice that everyone has been affected. It leads to some amusing dialogue, which I’ll refrain from spoiling so you can experience it for yourself.
Aside from their peculiar behavior, one thing remains consistent: they all mention EVE. After a brief chat with her, you’ll both confirm that Jafar planted something in each villager’s home and that investigating them is the right course of action.
Starting with Rapunzel’s house, you’ll find the first object, a copper serpent statue, on the floor next to a chair. Interacting with it will remove the item, giving you some copper ore.

The next item, another serpent statue, is in Gaston’s house. In the far right corner of the house, you’ll spot the serpent on the floor next to some barrels.

The last location is Scrooge McDuck’s store. The shop also has a serpent statue, which you’ll notice behind the left staircase. This one is particularly tricky to spot, as you have to walk around the stairs and stand in front of the display window to see it.

See if everyone feels normal again
Now that you’ve destroyed the three serpent statues, it’s time to talk to the villagers again. As you leave Scrooge McDuck’s shop, you’ll see Rapunzel and Scrooge meet to discuss the situation. After that exchange, check in with Gaston for important intel about Jafar’s plans. It’s time to head to the Ancient Ruins.
Search for Jafar’s secret machine
If you haven’t been to the Ancient Ruins for a while, they’re the large cave in Ancient’s Landing’s docks, right next to EVE’s house. Once you enter, go down the hole in the center of the area and follow the hall to find the root of the problem.

Here, you’ll discover that, despite the time you’ve spent working together and befriending Jafar, he’s still up to no good and has Oswald locked in an energy prison. Jafar reveals that he sees a special power in Oswald and wants to use it to fulfill his ambitions. Fortunately, it’s not too late to stop him, as there’s a way to short-circuit the power sources.
Find the power sources and short-circuit them
Using your royal watering can, look for the following power sources:
- The red essence to the left of the room’s entrance.
- The red essence behind the stone pillar, directly across from the first source.
- The rainbow stone to the right of the room’s entrance.

Watering these three spots turns off the machine and distracts Jafar, allowing you to break the pillars with your royal pickaxe. Doing this damages it, saving Oswald and enabling you to talk to him about the ordeal. Despite the stress he likely endured, Oswald ultimately decides that you shouldn’t toss Jafar back into his genie lamp and instead have a conversation with him about the situation. Exit the Ancient Ruins and look for him on your map to begin the quest’s conclusion.
Once you find Jafar and confront him, you’ll give him one final chance to redeem himself, concluding the Serpent’s Gift quest.
