One of the final Villagers that Dreamers will unlock during their journey in Disney Dreamlight Valley is Prince Eric, the heir of a seaside kingdom who fell in love with Ariel, the Little Mermaid. Ursula, the Sea Witch, is one of the first characters players encounter on their adventure, and Ariel can be unlocked between the mid to endgame portion of one's playthrough. So naturally, Dreamers are likely curious about where the Prince Eric character in Disney Dreamlight Valley is and how they can reunite him with his mermaid lover. While the process of bringing him back to the Valley is straightforward, the prerequisites for unlocking his corresponding Friendship Quest are a challenge.
The Friendship Quest that unlocks Prince Eric in Disney Dreamlight Valley is "Poor Unfortunate Prince," referring to the state where players find him before summoning him back to the Valley. To gain access to this quest, players must first clear away the Night Thorns blocking the Fores of Valor, the Frosted Heights, and the Forgotten Lands. The total Dreamlight investment required for this endeavor will be 28,000. Once these biomes are open, Dreamers must reach Friendship Level 10 with Ariel and Ursula.
Typically, Friendship XP is primarily gained by bringing a Villager along for specific tasks, such as Mining, Fishing, or Gardening. However, Ariel and Ursula in Disney Dreamlight Valley are bound to the water, making it impossible for them to accompany players while working in the Valley. Therefore, reaching Friendship Level 10 for both of these characters might seem like an intimidating task. Luckily, the YouTube channel MrStarInSky has discovered an excellent method to level Friendship with these two Villagers exceptionally fast.
Unlocking Prince Eric In Disney Dreamlight Valley
The main way to raise Ariel and Ursula's Friendship Level is by speaking with them and giving them gifts. They occasionally offer Friendship Quests, but the XP reward from these missions is far from sufficient for unlocking Prince Eric in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Therefore, players will likely consider giving these characters their three daily favorite items. Nevertheless, this method is tedious, as the water-bound Villagers sometimes want a rare or hard-to-craft item. Alternatively, MrStarInSky has discovered that giving these characters Flowers can significantly increase their Friendship. Since Flowers are effortless to obtain and can be used to feed animals in Disney Dreamlight Valley, this technique is both efficient and effective.
After attaining Friendship Level 10 with Ariel and Ursula, players must complete the Friendship Quest, "A Deal with Ursula," after which they will receive the shriveled soul of Poor Unfortunate Eric. Take this item to Ariel and build Eric's Castle by paying Scrooge McDuck 10,000 Star Coins. Players will find a Flute inside the castle that can be given to Ariel. Once this is done, Prince Eric will receive his triumphant return to Disney Dreamlight Valley.
