All Festive fish locations in Disney Dreamlight Valley

It’s that time of year, everyone. Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Winter events are back, with wrapping paper and festive fish making their grand returns. If you didn’t get a chance to find these fish last year, you have another chance to in 2025.

The Festive Fish are only around for a short time, so finding them while you can is crucial if you want to tackle all parts of the Gift of Giving event. Here are all the Festive Fish you can catch and where to find them in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

All Festive fish locations in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s 2025 Gift of Giving event features five festive fish you can find. You’ll catch each fish by visiting certain biomes and looking for the special red and green circles in the water.

Two of the fish featured in this event can only be caught under certain conditions, while the rest can be found at any time. Be sure to avoid the regular white, orange, and blue bubble spots, as they will always give you normal fish instead.

Below is every festive fish and the locations you can visit to find each one.

Fish	Location
Festive Bass	Peaceful Meadow
Festive Fugu	Dazzle Beach (Raining)
Festive Squid	Glade of Trust
Festive Salmon	Sunlit Plateau
Festive Anglerfish	Forgotten Lands (6pm to 5am)

Rather than fishing in white, blue, or orange circles like usual, you’ll need to look out for sparkling red and green spots in the water. Aside from the changed color palette, the appearance and minigame that follows is the exact same.

Nonetheless, you’re not guaranteed to find a fishing spot every time you check one of these biomes. They’re not as rare as the Here and There fish, but they’re still tough to encounter sometimes. If you’re having trouble finding each fish, catch some from other circles and wait for more to respawn before repeating the process. Eventually, one of the circles will be red and green, signaling you’re about to get your first festive fish.

The two toughest fish to find are the Festive Fugu and the Festive Anglerfish. For the Fugu, you’ll need to fish at Dazzle Beach while it’s raining. The weather is unpredictable and random in DDV, so you’ll just have to hope luck is on your side with this one. For the Anglerfish, you must venture into the Forgotten Lands in the evening or very early morning, within the small window between 6pm and 5am.

How to complete Even Fish Are Festive in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Even Fish Are Festive duty in DDV, you need to catch all five Festive Fish. This is a decently tough task, as two of them are fairly difficult to find since you have to wait for certain weather and fish within a specific timeframe.

Successfully finishing this task unlocks a Santa Hat you can wear to match the Festive Fish. It’s a pretty fun item, especially if you enjoy holiday clothing and decorations, so be sure to earn it while you can.

ARK Survival Ascended‘s Lost Colony DLC has finally been released after a launch delay, and it brings a host of new creatures.

While the list of prehistoric creatures was already vast in the base game, Lost Colony adds to them. This guide will list all the new creatures along with their brief in-game descriptions. As always, I will add to this guide if I come across new names that are part of the DLC but not mentioned here.

Complete list of Lost Colony DLC creatures in ARK Survival Ascended

The theme of the Lost Colony DLC is pretty same as that of the base game. Some of the new creatures are straight from the books of history. Others are mutated monsters that are byproducts of the misuse of technology.

Names	Description
Aureliax	A brand new flying creature, you can use the Aureliax to destroy enemies with gravity effects.
Cryolophosaurus	Deals damage via narcotic sludge, but it can also buff your allies.
Desmodus	The Desmodus uses echolocation to target and damage enemies, and it can be a great option in areas where visibility is low.
Gigadesmodus	This massive creature is an absolute tank and also allows you to place a mobile command center on its back. This is arguably one of the best creatures to find in the Lost Colony expansion.
Gloon	The strange creature fires a laser, and it can make other creatures go into a frenzy and lose self-control.
Gargoyles	Mythical creatures that are made of stone, and they can be extremely dangerous if you aren’t careful.
Malwyn	This is the aggro version of the Veilwuyn, and offers multiple forms of attacks to take down enemies.
Neophytes	Another massive bat-type creature that can absorb a great deal of enemy damage before feeling the effects.
Ossidon	A giant primate that throws sludge balls at enemies. It can deal damage from range.
Revenants	These are corrupted remnants of Thralls and dinosaurs that have been corrupted by the liquid Edmundium.
Solwyn	Similar to Malwyn, it can use ice for different reasons, and can also be used as a mount.
Veilwyn	An Arctic Fox that can teleport (has some other handy uses as well).

Overall, I really love the different creatures that are part of the Lost Colony DLC. Vielwyn is a curious creature that comes in two other forms: Solwyn and Malwyn. There might be more forms that I haven’t discovered yet.

I have always loved gigantic creatures, and it doesn’t get any better than the Gigadesmodus, which is absolutely massive. Taming the beast is a challenge in every sense, and I will have a guide to help you do the same. While I would have loved for the DLC to have more creatures, the different types make up for the lack in quantity.
