Unlocking Aladdin's iconic companion in Disney Dreamlight Valley involves completing Jafar's storyline, where the "A Diamond in the Rough" quest plays a pivotal role. Players must venture into the Cave of Wonders to retrieve the Jewel of Time and free Aladdin from his ancient prison. This step-by-step walkthrough details how to navigate the hazards, solve environmental puzzles, and collect all rewards from this major storyline mission.
Unlocking the Cave of Wonders
To begin the quest, speak with Jafar in the Cave of Wonders within Eternity Isle's Glittering Dunes region. You will need to locate two halves of a Scarab Key hidden around the desert landscape to gain access to the entrance. Once assembled, placing the key opens the tiger-headed portal, allowing you to venture deep inside the cavernous complex.
Solving the Power and Laser Puzzles
Inside the Cave of Wonders, progression relies on redirecting power beams using ancient mirrors and lever mechanisms. Players must clear obstacles using their Royal Hourglass and place power coils into designated slots to open sealed stone doors. Pay close attention to the floor conduits to trace electricity sources back to missing components.
Retrieving the Jewel of Time
Reaching the final chamber requires solving a sequence of pressure plate puzzles while avoiding toxic traps. Once you reach the central altar, interacting with the floating artifact allows you to acquire the coveted Jewel of Time. Taking the jewel triggers the final sequence, enabling Aladdin to return safely to the main valley area.
Quest Completion Rewards and Unlocks
Finishing "A Diamond in the Rough" officially welcomes Aladdin as a resident in your village, expanding your friendship options. Players receive a significant bump in friendship experience along with story progress toward restoring the Isle's timeline. Additionally, you unlock access to Aladdin's signature clothing items and themed furniture pieces in Scrooge's shop.
