Ursula, the Sea Witch antagonist of The Little Mermaid, plays a significant role in helping the Saviors of Disney Dreamlight Valley restore the lands from the grasp of the Forgetting. As a result, unlocking her is crucial to the fate of the Valley and the main storyline of the game. Adventurers will encounter her fairly early on in one of the early-game biomes. However, she is initially unable to help the player protagonists due to being trapped within a mysterious cave in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

To get started, Disney Dreamlight Valley fans must unlock Dazzle Beach, the oceanic biome east of Peaceful Meadows. This area becomes accessible once players have completed "Friendship Is Everything" and given Merlin 1,000 Dreamlight. After the wizard has cleared away the thorns blocking the path, adventurers are free to explore the sandy shores. Eventually, they will come upon a cave where Ursula is imprisoned. While some may dislike the villainous Sea Witch, Merlin states that the Valley needs her help and powerful magic. Thus, the Story Quest "With Great Power" begins.

Ursula will first task the Savior protagonists with retrieving the Orb of Power in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This quest item is stored away in a pool within the Mystical Cave, another Dazzle Beach grotto nearby the one in which the Sea Witch is imprisoned. She will give players a Crystal in Disney Dreamlight Valley that can be used to open the entrance to the Mystical Cave. Once inside, Dreamers will encounter three puzzles known as Magic Gates. These gates must be removed to reach the Orb of Power.
