Alright, so check it out, today I’m gonna walk you through my latest obsession: tackling the “Dune Hopper” quest in Dreamlight Valley. This one had me scratching my head for a bit, but I finally nailed it, and I’m gonna share all the gritty details.
First things first, understanding the ask. The quest is all about catching this elusive creature called a “Dune Hopper.” The game gives you clues, hints about where they hang out and when they are available. But honestly, those hints can be kinda vague. I spent the first day just wandering around, casting my line, and coming up empty-handed. Talk about frustrating!
Location, Location, Location. The biggest thing I learned is that these guys are picky about their real estate. You gotta head over to the Glittering Dunes biome. That’s the desert-y area. I initially tried fishing in the Oasis, thinking that’s where desert creatures would be. Nope! The Dune Hoppers specifically hang out in the The Plains area of the Glittering Dunes. Remember that, because that’s half the battle right there.
Time is of the Essence. Another thing I had to figure out is timing. Turns out, Dune Hoppers are only available during certain times of the day. I don’t have the exact hours written down, but it was definitely during the daytime, I think around 9 AM to 6 PM. I noticed they weren’t showing up at night. So, make sure you are going during the day.
The Fishing Technique. Okay, so you’re in the right place, at the right time. Now what? Just start casting your line into the bubbling spots in the water. This part can be a bit tedious. I didn’t catch a Dune Hopper every single time. Sometimes I’d get other fish or even just junk. So, you gotta be patient and keep trying. I also ate a food that boost my fishing skill to make it easier.
The Payoff. After what felt like forever, I finally reeled one in! It was so satisfying. Once you have your Dune Hopper, you can finish the quest. And that’s pretty much it! It was a bit of a grind, but definitely worth it in the end.
My key takeaways:
- Go to the The Plains area in the Glittering Dunes biome.
- Fish during the daytime.
- Be patient and keep casting your line in the bubbling spots.
Hope this helps you snag your own Dune Hopper! Let me know in the comments if you have any other tips or tricks for this quest. Happy fishing!
