The Enigmatic Colored Potato Questline in Disney Dreamlight Valley
One of the most intriguing and eccentric questlines in Disney Dreamlight Valley revolves around the colored potato chain. Players are tasked with obtaining different colored potatoes without any clear indication of how or why. Among these potatoes is the Purple Potato. Here’s a guide on how to acquire it in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Starting the Purple Potato Quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Before embarking on the Purple Potato quest, you need to have already obtained the first potato in the chain, the golden potato. Head over to Scrooge’s Vault door inside his store and interact with the counter to pick it up. Screenshot by PC Invasion
The quest for the Purple Potato begins in the cavern within Frozen Heights, where you first encountered Olaf. Look for the purple portal that never disappears and press E to interact with it. Screenshot by PC Invasion
As soon as you approach, the portal starts asking you questions. These questions may leave you wondering about the answers, but rest assured, you’re not alone. The game intentionally made this puzzle needlessly complicated. To solve it, you’ll need to locate ten books scattered throughout the Valley map and extract the highlighted words from them to decipher the riddle posed by the talking portal. Brace yourself for some fast traveling and running across the Valley.

Solving the Riddle for the Purple Potato
Once you’ve collected all the books, you can solve the riddle the portal presents. By arranging the extracted words in the correct order, you will decipher the following phrase:
“Experiment No. 146: No one would suspect something as mundane as a potato could hold the key. I daresay it’s genius.
Experiment No. 243: The Forgotten is getting to me. I can’t rely on my own memory. I must write everything down in a book lest I forget…

Experiment No. 5,232: Only one way to seal the magic. I’ll hide a code in these books. Something no one will ever think of…”
With the riddle deciphered, the portal will spit out a foreboding and unappetizing purple potato. Screenshots by PC Invasion
But what can you do with this peculiar potato? Combine it with an Empty Vial at a crafting station to create a Royal Purple Potion.
