Hercules and Phil have made their way into Disney Dreamlight Valley, and the first thing standing between you and your new neighbors is the Moonlighting As a Hero quest. It runs inside the brand-new Hercules Realm, so the layout is unfamiliar and easy to get lost in. The early steps are simple once you know where to look.
Start Moonlighting As a Hero in the Hercules Realm
Moonlighting As a Hero is the opening mission of the Hercules content, which means finishing it is the first real step toward adding Hercules and Phil to your valley. Because it begins in a new realm, your usual mental map of the world won’t help here. Treat the waterfall as your main landmark.
Investigate the dark thorns and fog
After your conversation with Phil, the quest points you toward a troubling sight in the realm. Dark thorns and a strange fog have appeared, and they lead the way into the dark woods. Heading in that direction is how you push the mission forward from here.
You’ll know the opening segment landed correctly when the cutscene triggers on arrival and Phil registers as the character you need to find. Reaching and talking to him updates the quest, signaling that the exploration step is done and the investigation into the thorns and fog has begun.
