Welcome, Digital Tech Explorer community, to another insightful guide from TechTalesLeo! The captivating Return to Beast’s Castle update in Disney Dreamlight Valley brings two beloved characters, Lumiere and Cogsworth, from the enchanting Beauty and the Beast realm, ready to illuminate your valley. To invite these iconic companions to join your burgeoning village, you’ll embark on a delightful series of quests. Before you can begin this charming journey, ensure the Beauty and the Beast realm is already unlocked and both Belle and the Beast are happily settled in your valley. Once these prerequisites are met, a curious letter will arrive in your mailbox from the Beast, expressing concern for his dear friends, Cogsworth and Lumiere, and urging you to visit them at the castle. Reading this letter officially ignites your challenge to unlock these two unforgettable personalities.
How to complete the Haunting of the Beast’s Castle quest
First, travel to the Beauty and the Beast realm and head straight to the library. The castle will appear darker than usual, with spiderwebs and candles setting a spooky scene. You’ll find Lumiere by the fire. He asks for your help crafting fuel for the fireplace. Go into the room to the right of the fireplace and collect the following materials from a crate:
- 3 x Castle Canoil
- 1 x Castle Softwood
- 1 x Castle Paper
Use the small stove next to the chest to combine the three Castle Canoil, which creates the fuel. Give the fuel to Lumiere, who will light the fire. He’ll then ask for your help catching a flying painting. The painting starts in the library and flies down the main hallway. Chase it and interact with it to grab it.
Take the painting to the piano near the realm’s entrance and hang it on the wall behind it. This will reveal an Enigmatic Box and a Domestic Manual page 1. Bring these items to Lumiere. He’ll explain that a ghost is haunting the castle and ask you to investigate the garden.
In the garden, break the statues with birds on them to navigate the maze. You’ll also need to clear some night thorns to reach Cogsworth in the center. After you talk to him, follow him back to Lumiere. The two will argue about the existence of ghosts, and upon the conclusion of their conversation, the quest will end, allowing you to start the next one, A Growing Mystery.
How to complete the A Growing Mystery quest
Speak with Cogsworth again to start A Growing Mystery. He wants your help tidying the castle, beginning with the garden. Your first task is to replant the roses, but you’ll need to find the seeds. Go to the Beast’s Room in the west wing and open the crate under the painting to find four packs of rose seeds.
Return to the garden and plant the seeds by interacting with the bushes in each corner. When no roses bloom, talk to Cogsworth again. He will instruct you to craft some Rose Fertilizer. You’ll need the following materials:
- 8 x Castle Softwood
- 3 x Rich Soil
- 3 x Castle Stone
Craft the fertilizer and apply it to your watering can via your inventory. Water the four bushes, and they will instantly bloom with rainbow-colored roses. Six roses will drop to the ground; pick them up and show them to Cogsworth. Follow him into the hallway and place three of the roses in the highlighted vases near the piano area.
Interacting with the final vase will drop two more items: the First Enigmatic Key and the Domestic Manual Page 2. Pick them up and take them to Cogsworth. Following a lively discussion between Cogsworth and Lumiere, characteristic of their long-standing dynamic, this quest reaches its conclusion.
How to complete the Belle, Book, and Candle quest
Start the Belle, Book, and Candle quest by talking to Lumiere. He’ll ask you to tidy up some misplaced items around the castle:
- Return the Standing Candelabra to its place by the stairs to the left of the piano room.
- Return the Lion Statue to its place upstairs next to the door to the Beast’s Room.
- Return the Globe to the Library.
Once you’ve placed the final item, Domestic Manual Page 3 and the Second Enigmatic Key will appear. Collect them and return to Lumiere. He will then ask you to find the rest of the Domestic Manual in the West Wing. Go to the Beast’s Room and interact with the pile of books under the painting on the left wall to find the Damaged Domestic Manual.
Take the damaged book to Lumiere. You’ll decide that Belle is the best person to fix it. Head back to your valley and speak with Belle and the Beast in their home. Belle will provide you with glue to repair the book. Use a crafting station to fix the book and then bring it back to Lumiere in the castle.
Lumiere has built a display stand for the book in your absence. Place the repaired manual on the stand, and the Third Enigmatic Key will pop out. Pick it up and show it to Lumiere. A clothing sack and an invitation will appear. Open the bag to receive a Masquerade Mask and pick up the invitation. Lumiere explains that they are gifts from the “ghost” and that you must prepare for a Masquerade Party. This conversation ends the quest.
To continue, you must complete the final quest, A Guide to Better Castle-Keeping. Speak to Cogsworth, who will ask you to find fine cutlery in the garden cellar. Take the cutlery back and place it on the large table near the piano. Next, speak to Lumiere, who asks you to create a Charcuterie Board using ingredients found in the realm. After crafting it at the cooking station, place it on the table. Cogsworth will then ask you to craft Rose Garlands using these materials:
- 8 x Castle Softwood
- 3 x Rainbow Rose Bouquet
- 3 x Castle Detritus
Craft the garland and hang it on the wall next to Cogsworth. After telling him everything is ready, take a selfie with Lumiere and Cogsworth. They will share that Lumiere is ready to come to the valley, but Cogsworth will stay behind. Return to the valley and welcome Lumiere. Take him to the Beast’s house, where the Beast will write a letter ordering Cogsworth to join them. Go back to the realm, give Cogsworth the letter, and then welcome him to the valley as well. Speak to Cogsworth one final time at the Beast’s house to witness the reunion and permanently welcome both Lumiere and Cogsworth to your village.
With Lumiere and Cogsworth now gracing your valley, your enchanting journey in Disney Dreamlight Valley continues to flourish.
