How to find gift boxes in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The annual Gift of Giving event is back, and it’s brought with it some tricky tasks to get done in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of these event missions asks you to find hidden gift boxes to claim some special rewards.

The valley is rather large, and the gift boxes are fairly small, which makes this a fairly tough quest to get done. If you’re having trouble with it, here’s how to find gift boxes in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where to find Gift of Giving event gift boxes in Disney Dreamlight Valley

You can find the Gift of Giving event gift boxes anywhere in the main valley. They can appear in any of the biomes around Dreamlight Valley, including all of the following areas.

• Sunlit Plateau
• Frosted Heights
• Dazzle Beach
• Plaza
• Forest of Valor
• Peaceful Meadow
• Forgotten Lands
• Glade of Trust

If you have access to DLC worlds, like Wishblossom Ranch or Storybook Vale, you will not find any presents or other event items around them. Instead, you must stick to the main village to locate them.

How to find presents in Gift of Giving event in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The presents spawn randomly for all players, meaning there’s no way to know exactly where they’ll appear. My first one spawned in the Sunlit Plateau biome, close to the west end by the ramp that leads up to the Forgotten Lands, while my friends appeared over near the eastern wall in the Forest of Valor.

To find your gift boxes, you simply have to scour every inch of the valley until you locate them. It’s a bit frustrating and tedious, especially if your valley is decorated, but there’s no way to make this process any easier.

You can try using furniture mode to scour the valley more quickly, but even this trick isn’t reliable, as it can be easy to overlook the presents. I searched using this mode twice and missed the gift box entirely, only finding it when I opted to ride around with a mount.

The presents are all quite small, so be sure to check behind buildings, plants, and other such furniture you have placed. Search all corners, too, as I’ve previously had many key event items, like Cheshire Cracks, pop up in very small, hidden areas.

All Gift of Giving event gift boxes in Disney Dreamlight Valley

There are seven gift boxes to find over seven days in DDV. Only one spawns per day, so this is a task you must undertake regularly while the Gift of Giving event is live if you want to collect them all. All the Touch of Magic items you can claim are as follows.

• Large Round Gift Box
• Large Square Gift Box
• Round Gift Box
• Square Gift Box
• Fancy Gift Box
• Tall Round Gift Box
• Tall Square Gift Box

Finding and interacting with each gift box drops a recipe you can read to unlock a new Touch of Magic design. Each one is a gift you can fully customize with patterns, motifs, and colors of your choosing.

Once you’ve unlocked a recipe from opening one of the gifts, you must head to a crafting station to actually make it. The exact recipe for each one varies, but they can all be found under the Furniture category.

After making any of the gift boxes, open your inventory, switch to the Furniture tab, select Customize, and choose to add a new option. Locate the present you made and get to work designing it so you can then place it in your valley.

The Locked Gate arrived in ARC Raiders as part of The North Line update, and completing it will require a fair amount of coordination. You can run across it randomly during the Cold Snap update, but the conditions remain the same.

Like all map conditions, the Locked Gate isn’t available at all times. You’ll have to be lucky to find it on a map rotation. This guide will help you to complete the event successfully if you manage to start a raid while it’s available.

ARC Raiders Locked Gate event walkthrough

The Locked Gate event takes place on the Blue Gate map, but adds a custom modifier. The modifier restricts you from using any Raider Hatches and also blocks entry to the underground tunnels. All of this is part of an emergency shutdown protocol. Your job will be to find relevant security codes to open a locked gate (hence, the name).

To begin the quest, head to the Gate Control Room inside the Warehouse Complex. I have marked its location on the screenshot below, but it’s hard to miss. The Warehouse Complex is located between the central and the northern part of the Blue Gate map.

Head inside the room, and you’ll find four systems. When you try to interact with them, you’ll be asked for security codes. Finding the security codes is easy, as they will have a POI in their respective names.

If you’re trying to find the Pilgrim’s Peak code, you’ll have to head over to the location. All four POIs will be present on the Blue Gate map, but finding them can take a fair amount of time (not to mention the added dangers of ARC enemies and enemy Raiders).

Checkpoint Gate location

Once you have found all four codes, head back to the Gate Control Room. Use the four codes to unlock the central gate in the Checkpoint POI (marked on the screenshot above). You’ll find an unlocked gate, along with plenty of valuable items to loot inside. However, be highly cautious as enemy Raiders could try to ambush you for a free lot.
