Where to Find Matryoshka Dolls in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Unfortunately, Matryoshka Dolls will spawn randomly across a handful of locations, meaning it will be hard to know exactly where to find them. Fortunately, all this means is that you need to simply re-explore all the areas in the game to see where these dolls have randomly spawned. 

Some players have found Matryoshka Dolls in the Plaza behind Scrooge’s store, by the dream well in Frosted Heights, and even managed to find two in the same zone. The search will naturally be different from player to player.

It’s important to note that finding a Matryoshka Doll initiates the “Something Comes A’Knocking” quest, a friendship quest with Merlin. However, players must first complete a few quests with The Fairy Godmother and reach at least friendship level 2 before the dolls and Jack’s tree will spawn in the Valley.

How Many Matryoshka Dolls Do You Need to Find in Dreamlight Valley?

While they can be difficult to find at times, you only need to find four Matryoshka Dolls to unlock Jack Skellington in the game.

How to Use Matryoshka Dolls in Disney Dreamlight Valley

After finding and collecting four Matryoshka Dolls, head to the Forgotten Lands biome to use them on a brown tree with a Jack-O-Lantern carved into it. If you’ve built Goofy’s Stall in this region, the pop-up shop should be nearby to help you find this tree. 

Once you interact with the tree and hang the Matryoshka Dolls one by one around it, the tree will shift, and the Jack-O-Lantern will change colors. With the four dolls hanging, this will trigger Jack Skellington to enter your Valley as a Villager. 

To use the dolls, look for the candles around the base of the right tree in the Forgotten Lands, which will help identify the correct tree. Once you’ve found it, interact with the tree and place the Matryoshka Dolls in any order.

After this, you won’t have to go hunting for Matryoshka Dolls in Disney Dreamlight Valley again and can start completing the new quests for Jack to get his unique rewards.

How to Complete Something Comes Aā€™Knocking

  1. Find the Matryoshka Dolls: The first doll is usually in the Plaza, while the remaining three can appear in any biome, often in open areas near landmarks.
  2. Place the Dolls in the Pumpkin Tree: Take the dolls to the new tree in the Forgotten Lands with a pumpkin outline and place them inside.
  3. Welcome Jack Skellington: After placing the dolls, Jack Skellington will appear. Build his house for 5,000 Star Coins to complete the quest.

And that’s where to find Matryoshka Dolls in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
