The Sands in the Hourglass is a key story quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time that opens up the rest of Eternity Isle. Players must master the Royal Hourglass to locate hidden relics and repair crucial pathways. Completing this objective grants access to new biomes and advances the main expansion storyline.
Finding the Hidden Relics with Timebending
To begin the quest, players need to use the Royal Hourglass to clear small Swirling Sands near The Courtyard. Pathing toward the Secluded Beach allows you to communicate with Jafar via the Hologram Station. From there, you must use timebending magic to locate two Ancient Statue Fragments scattered across the sand.
The search continues across Ancient's Landing to uncover three Ancient Plates. Pay close attention to the visual light indicator above your character, which shifts from blue to gold as you draw closer to lost treasures. Once all items are collected, return to the beach to receive repair instructions.
Rebuilding the Statue and Restoring Order
Head to the nearby Timebending Table on the Secluded Beach to assemble the Statue's Arm. Open the crafting menu under the quest tab to combine your gathered materials into the completed limb. Place the newly crafted arm directly onto the Statue of Time to restore its power.
After completing the repair, return to The Courtyard to speak with Jafar once more. He will explain how to channel magical energy into repairing the ancient structures nearby. Players must gather enough resources to clear the barrier blocking further exploration.
Unlocking the New Biomes on Eternity Isle
The final requirement involves gathering 2,000 Mist to repair the Broken Bridge. Mist can be earned quickly by completing daily Mist Duties or finding hidden deposits with your Royal Hourglass. Once you have accumulated enough energy, interact with the bridge to restore it completely.
Fixing the bridge grants immediate access to the vast Glittering Dunes and the lush Wild Tangle biomes. Players can now meet new villagers and discover additional storyline secrets across Eternity Isle. Mastering these early timebending mechanics is essential for progressing through future expansion quests.
