Disney Dreamlight Valley Jack Skellington: How to Unlock the Character
9 September 2026 | 19
Bringing the Pumpkin King to your village is one of the most exciting additions to Disney Dreamlight Valley, offering a fun mix of exploration and mystery. Players can invite Jack Skellington to settle down as a permanent resident without needing to purchase paid expansions. Follow this step-by-step walkthrough to discover the prerequisite requirements, item locations, and final quest steps needed to welcome him.
Prerequisite Requirements Before You Begin
Before you can initiate Jack Skellington's quest line, you must meet a few basic story progression milestones. First, make sure you have unlocked the Forgotten Lands biome, which requires accessing the Sunlit Plateau beforehand. Additionally, you should complete the initial story quests for both Olaf and the Fairy Godmother.
Finding the Four Matryoshka Dolls
To kick off the unlock quest titled Something Comes A'Knocking, you need to collect four Matryoshka dolls scattered across the Valley. These small nesting dolls spawn on the ground in randomized biomes, though at least one usually appears in the Plaza area. Search carefully around landmarks, staircases, and open fields while watching for subtle ground sparkles.
Interacting with the Holiday Tree Portal
Once you gather the dolls, travel to the Forgotten Lands to locate a unique, tall tree carved with a pumpkin emblem. Approach the tree and transfer each Matryoshka doll into it one by one. As you deposit the dolls, the carved pumpkin design will fill with vibrant color, ultimately summoning Jack Skellington right into your village.
Building Jack's House and Completing the Quest
After welcoming Jack, open your furniture menu to place his themed home anywhere in the valley. Interact with the Scrooge McDuck construction sign and pay 5,000 Star Coins to finish building the house. Finally, speak to Jack at the village well to complete the quest and start leveling up his friendship line.
