So, you’re on the hunt for the elusive Blue Gem in Disney Dreamlight Valley, specifically within the mysterious cave? It sounds like you may be thinking about different parts of the game, but let’s focus on how to get that specific gem. It’s important to note that there isn’t a direct “Blue Gem” you simply find lying around in the game for a quest. However, it’s likely you’re confusing this task with another quest requirement, and it probably has to do with needing to create the Brilliant Blue Potion.
You don’t simply find the Blue Gem; you need to craft a Brilliant Blue Potion using five blue items in a specific location in the mines. This requires finding five distinct blue items and combining them at a special location within the mines. The blue items are:
- Blue Potato: This triggers the questline.
- Blue Shell: Found in Moana’s Realm.
- Blue Starfish: Location is unknown and this may be from a past event.
- Blue Book: Location is unknown and this may be from a past event.
- Blue Gem: Location is unknown and this may be from a past event.
Once you have all five items, head into the mines. Inside, you will find a small glowing water source in between a few mine carts and a wall of glowing rocks. Interact with this glowing water source. Place the Blue Potato, Blue Shell, Blue Starfish, Blue Book, and Blue Gem in the slots. Doing so will create the Brilliant Blue Potion.
