Restoring the Sunken Temple

Guide your journey to Restoring the Sunken Temple in Disney Dreamlight Valley: 2026 Expansion. Navigate the ancient ruins and solve its mysteries to progress.

Deep within the Azure Depths biome lies the Sunken Temple, a place of ancient power now submerged and in need of your attention. This questline focuses on reclaiming lost artifacts and reactivating the temple's dormant mechanisms. The initial step involves gathering Coral Fragments, a plentiful resource found by diving in the designated areas of the Azure Depths. You will need to collect at least 150 Coral Fragments to begin clearing the debris that obstructs the temple's entrance. Following this, you must locate Abyssal Pearls, rare treasures that can be found in treasure chests scattered throughout the seabed. Aim to collect 25 Abyssal Pearls, as these are essential for powering the temple's ancient machinery.

A significant challenge will be to decipher the temple's cryptic inscriptions. This requires finding 5 Ancient Runestones, which are hidden within submerged ruins and guarded by territorial sea creatures. Be prepared to engage in combat with the Kelp Lurkers that patrol these ruins; they typically drop these Runestones upon defeat. Once you have collected the Runestones, you will need to solve a puzzle within the temple's main chamber. This puzzle involves arranging the Runestones in the correct sequence based on celestial alments depicted on the temple walls. Successfully solving this puzzle will activate the temple's central conduit, allowing you to channel energy from the Tidal Obelisk. The final stage involves a timed challenge where you must collect Aqua-Gems, a new type of gem found only within the Sunken Temple, before the conduit's energy dissipates. You'll need to gather 75 Aqua-Gems within a 5-minute window to fully restore the Sunken Temple.
