Friendship quests

How to complete Automotive Appeal: Level 2 Friendship quest

Cruella is in one of her moods, which usually means you are about to become her free labor again. This time it is her car. Of course it is her car. Goofy is already knee-deep in the mess, so you step in before she starts monologuing about standards.

Help Goofy fix the car

Goofy asks you to dress like someone who might actually fix something for once.
Throw on:

  • A Rustic or Casual top
  • Rustic or Casual pants
  • Rustic or Casual shoes

Nothing glamorous, which is probably why Cruella did not do it herself.

Craft Automobile Mechanic’s Toolbox

  • 20 Antique Clothes Irons from Glamour Gulch, lying around like forgotten props
  • 5 Rusty Hinges dug up in the Wishing Alps
  • 3 Wire Coat Hangers fished from open water in Glamour Gulch
  • 2 Jasper mined from Glamour Gulch rock nodes
DDV Cruela friendship quest

Once you have crisscrossed the mountains collecting all this debris, craft the Automobile Mechanic’s Toolbox and hand it to Goofy. He is thrilled. Cruella will not be.

Track the upholstery with Maximus

The car interior needs help. Maximus can smell the missing fabric, so you climb on and follow his lead.

  • Start at Cruella’s car in the Quarry
  • Pick up the scent trail
  • Follow it until you reach the Upholstery Fabric
  • Grab it and bring it back to Goofy

It feels a little dramatic, but Cruella thrives on dramatics.

Make a fancy display around Cruella’s Car

Now she wants a display. Of course she does. The car cannot simply be repaired. It has to be worshipped.

Place:

  • Purple furniture
  • Modern furniture
  • Traditional furniture

Arrange it however you like. Cruella will pretend she would have done it better, but she will secretly love it. Take a photo of the car. Make it look important. Then talk to Cruella to wrap it up.

How to complete You’re Really Wearing THAT?: Level 4 Friendship Quest

Cruella has teamed up with Ursula to play fashion police, and the valley is already tired. This quest mixes cooking, outfit judging, villager interrogations, and a photo shoot at the Heart.

How to make Jellied Salad for Ursula and Cruella

Read the Jellied Salad recipe from your inventory, then gather the ingredients for two servings.

How to take villager photos for Cruella’s “fashion crimes” report

Cruella wants evidence. Take photos of: Snow White, Alice, and Daisy. Talk to Ursula after the photos are done. Next, dress in any Modern or Professional top and Modern or Professional pants and enter Cruella’s House to show her your look, then speak to her.

Then, search her house for clues and pick up the Fishing Lure on the floor, which is right behind a desk on a corner, and show it to Cruella.

With the evidence in hand, it’s time to question the suspects: Moana, Donald Duck, and Kristoff. Return to Cruella, then speak to Daisy to move forward.

Talk to Daisy, then talk to Cruella to complete the quest.

How to complete Stripes Are In This Season: Level 7 Friendship Quest

Track down Ursula and get her explanation. Cruella insulted her style, so Ursula dared her to prove she had real fashion sense by drinking a potion. Cruella did it. Ursula then handed the bottled “fashion sense” to Tigger, turning him into the new fashion icon by accident. Talk to Tigger next.

How to dress Tigger-style and show it around the valley

Tigger agrees to reveal where he hid Cruella’s style, but only after you play along with his outfit challenge. Dress up in:

  • Something orange
  • Something black
  • Something quirky

Then show your look to these villagers:

  • Donald Duck
  • Snow White
  • Goofy

You can also skip the outfit completely by going directly to the correct dig spot.

How to complete Headdress to Impress: Level 10 Friendship Quest

Cruella has decided the valley needs a hat showdown. Not a polite one, of course, but a full-scale fashion duel against Daisy and Sally, complete with drama, break-ins, and a runway you have to build yourself. It’s messy, it’s petty, and she’s having the time of her life.

How to start Cruella’s hat-making contest

Reach Friendship Level 10 with Cruella and have Sally and Mirabel unlocked. Then, talk to Daisy first to confirm she’s willing to join Cruella’s “friendly” fashion competition.

Gather:

  • 5 Antique Clothes Irons: Foraged in the Glamour Gulch area
  • 5 White Crocus Flowers: Found growing wild across all regions of the Wishing Alps
  • 5 Red Silk Flowers: Found growing wild across all regions of Glamour Gulch

Once all three materials are in your inventory, head to Snow White’s House to progress the scene, then give the hat-making materials to Daisy. Lastly, speak to Cruella.
