Solve “The Sands in the Hourglass” in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To start the quest, you have to talk to Jafar via the hologram platform next to the broken bridge. The quest aims to repair the bridge. This is very important because without this quest you cannot unlock characters such as Eve or Gaston. I have already completed the quest “The Sands in the Hourglass” and I will show you how to do it.

With this quest, you can repair the bridge.

After you have spoken to Jafar, you need to go to the Secluded Beach. It's located in the far northeast. To be able to pass through the passage there, you have to remove the swirling sands with the Royal Hourglass (X button). This will clear the way to the beach, where you will find a new hologram platform that lets you talk to Jafar. The Great Vizier then asks you to repair the Statue of Time, which is right next to the platform.

Find Ancient Fragments and Ancient Plates

To repair the statue, you first need two ancient fragments, which you can find on the Secluded Beach using the Royal Hourglass. This works as follows:

  • Use the royal hourglass at any location.
  • A blue or gold circle appears around the hourglass. Blue means that there is nothing to be found here, and gold means that there is an ancient fragment nearby.
  • Around the blue or gold circle, small stars show you in which direction the fragment is located.
  • As soon as you reach the right point, the circle lights up red.
  • At this point, you must quickly press A to get the hidden item.

Once you have found both fragments, the next step is to find three ancient plates. This works in the same way as with the fragments. However, the game only tells you to search everywhere in Ancient's Landing. Wherever your Royal Hourglass lights up red, old plates and other things may be hidden. It's best if you just search around the broken bridge. It only took me a few minutes to find three ancient plates there.

Now you have to talk to Jafar again on the Secluded Beach. He will give you the item “Detailed Statue-Repair Instructions”. Use the instructions in your inventory and then craft the item “Statue's Arm” at the Table of Time (located right next to Jafar). You can use this arm to repair the Statue of Time.

Repair the bridge to complete the quest.

Once you have done this, all you have to do is go to the broken bridge and talk to Jafar, who will ask you to repair the bridge (costs 2,000 Mist). This completes the quest “The Sands in the Hourglass” in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
