Disney Dreamlight Valley’s new update, Whispers of the Wind, brings a ton of new cosmetics, items, decorative items, quests, and a character. Moreover, there is a new free companion that players can unlock by pursuing Pocahontas’s friendship questline. This new companion’s name is Meeko, who can help with foraging. In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock Meeko Companion in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
How to Unlock Meeko Companion in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Meeko is a new companion that unlocks at the end of the “A Raccoon’s Return” quest for Pocahontas. It is a Friendship Level 10 quest for Pocahontas, requiring players to reach the maximum friendship level and the prior friendship quests for her before they can unlock Meeko. Here is a list of all the quests that players must first complete to pursue the A Raccoon’s Return quest.
Save Meeko from Whirlpool in Dazzle Beach
As you pursue the A Raccoon’s Return quest, you will find Meeko’s paw prints inside the Cursed Cave. Upon informing Pocahontas about the paw prints, she will ask you to gather some resources so that she can make a Moontide Glow Necklace to spot the paw prints easily.
5x Glass: Craft at the crafting station using Sand and Coal Ores.
5x Fiber: Craft at the crafting station using Seaweed.
5x White Impatiens: Grows on the ground in the Forgotten Lands biome.
5x Glowing Algae: Dig the sparkling spots on the ground (Dazzle Beach) and fish out from the golden ripples (Dazzle Beach).
After getting the necklace, equip it from the wardrobe and visit the Cursed Cave again. Now, follow the paw prints across the Dazzle Beach biome and into a whirlpool in the water. Go to Merlin and tell him about the situation, and he will advise you to use a Raccoon Bait. You will have to craft the Raccoon Bait using the following materials.
3x Gooseberries: Grows on the bushes in Frosted Heights and Forgotten Lands biomes.
3x Raspberries: Grows on the bushes in Plaza and Peaceful Meadow biomes.
3x Blueberries: Grows on the bushes in Dazzle Beach and Forest of Valor biomes.
5x Fiber: Craft at the crafting station using the Seaweed.
5x Dream Shard: Dig the sparkling spots around the Valley, feed the critters, and remove the night thorns.
Once done, give the Raccoon Bait to Pocahontas, and follow her to the whirlpool. After a brief cutscene, Meeko will be saved from the whirlpool, unlocking him as a companion for the players.
