How to find and solve Haunted Well puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s annual Trick-or-Treat event is back, and it’s brought with it a new, fairly tricky puzzle to solve. This mystery revolves around a strange new Haunted Well that grants an exclusive prize.

The Haunted Well isn’t easy to find, and even when you know where it is, the puzzle associated with it is still quite tricky to solve on your own. If this event task has you stumped, here’s how to find and solve the Haunted Well puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to start Haunted Well puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley

You can start the Haunted Well puzzle by opening a red chest in the Plaza biome. It only spawns here for the duration of the special Trick-or-Treat event, so make sure you open it before it ends.

This chest can spawn anywhere in the area, so check all corners thoroughly to recover it. Mine spawned fairly close to the ramp that leads up to the Forest of Valor and near the rabbit hole you travel through during the Wonders of Wonderland quest, but yours might not be at this spot.

Once you find the chest, interact with it to open it and spawn a Memory Shard. Open it to reveal a cryptic puzzle featuring a strange well, some candy, and forest trees. To tackle the next step, head up to the Forest of Valor.

The Haunted Well spawns at a random location in the Forest of Valor biome. The exact spawn spot looks different for all players, so you need to scour every inch of this region carefully to find it.

Mine popped up close to a house I have placed near the east end of the biome by the river and the icy staircase leading up to the Frosted Heights biome. You’re looking for a light grey well with some glowing candles, pumpkins, and spiderwebs on it.

Once you find the well, interact with it to open a transfer menu. You now need to feed the well all three types of event Candy. A specific amount of each is required, noted by the puzzle in the memory you previously recovered. You also need to feed the well Candy in a very precise order, so here’s exactly the order and amount to give it.

1. Place 15 Green Candy in the Haunted Well.
2. Place 10 Red Candy in the Haunted Well.
3. Place Five Purple Candy in the Haunted Well.

After placing all three types of Candy into the well in the right order, you’ll unlock the Haunted Well item as a reward. It’s a really special item that has animated Ravens flying around it endlessly in a constant loop. You only get one for finishing this task, but you can buy more from Scrooge McDuck’s shop.
