How to complete Feeling Joyful in Disney Dreamlight Valley

By Daniel Hidalgo | 2025-09-04 10:23:31
The Memory Mania event in Disney Dreamlight Valley is filled with charming yet challenging duties that test your exploration skills. One of the most intriguing—and initially confusing—tasks is the "Feeling Joyful" duty. Unlike standard quests, this event mission provides only a vague name as a clue, leaving many players wondering where to begin.
This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of the "Feeling Joyful" duty, detailing exactly where to find the required items, how the drop mechanics work, and what coveted reward awaits you at the finish line.

What is the Feeling Joyful Duty Objective?


Your primary goal for the "Feeling Joyful" duty is to piece together a special memory from Disney•Pixar's Inside Out. The memory depicts the emotion Joy celebrating amidst a shower of confetti. To complete this memory, you must collect a total of six distinct fragments.
These fragments are not found lying around the valley itself. Instead, you must locate and remove a specific event item called Riley's Birthday Cake, which has a chance to drop pink Memory Shards containing the pieces you need.

Where to Find Riley’s Birthday Cake: Realm Locations


This is the most critical part of the quest. The Birthday Cakes are not located in the open biomes of Dreamlight Valley. You must travel via the Dream Castle to specific character realms to find them.
The three realms where Riley's Birthday Cake can spawn are:
  • The Moana Realm (on Motunui)
  • The Wall-E Realm (in the spaceship)
  • The Ratatouille Realm (in Gusteau's restaurant)

  • How to Identify the Cake: The cake is a small, pink, circular dessert with the number "13" clearly written on top. Like other interactive items, it will be shimmering with golden sparkles, making it easier to spot against the environment.

    Farming Strategy and Spawn Mechanics


    Understanding the spawn rate is key to efficiently completing this duty. The gameemploys a specific system for these event items:


    • Limited Spawns: Only one Birthday Cake will spawn per realm every hour.
    • Maximum Capacity: A maximum of two cakes can be present in a single realm at any given time.


    This means if you leave two cakes on the ground in the Ratatouille Realm, no new cakes will spawn there until you collect them.


    Pro Farming Tip: To optimize your farming route, we recommend checking the realms in this order:


  • Ratatouille Realm (smallest and quickest to scan)
  • Wall-E Realm (medium size)
  • Moana Realm (largest area)

  • Clear out any cakes you find to reset the spawn timer and ensure a steadysupply. Be patient, as this process can take some time.

    Understanding Memory Shard Drops


    Once you pick up a Riley's Birthday Cake, it will drop a pink Memory Shard.It is important to manage your expectations with these drops:


    • Not Guaranteed: Each Memory Shard has a chance to contain a piece of the "Feeling Joyful" memory.
    • Alternative Reward: Some shards will instead yield Star Coins. This is why you will likely need to collect more than six cakes to find all six memory pieces.


    Keep at it! Persistence is required to overcome the random nature of the drops.

    The Ultimate Reward: The Ennui Raven Companion


    The effort is undoubtedly worth it. Upon placing the final piece of thememory, you will complete the "Feeling Joyful" duty and receive yourexclusive prize: the Ennui Raven Companion.


    This stylish, black raven is inspired by the character Ennui from the upcoming Inside Out 2 film. This companion is a time-limited exclusive; it cannot be obtained after the Memory Mania event concludes. Onceunlocked, you can equip it to follow you around the valley from theCompanion section of your Wardrobe.


    Completing this duty is the only way to add this unique and melancholic bird toyour collection, making it a must-have for any dedicated DreamlightValley player or Inside Out fan.
