Down the Rabbit Hole: Starting the Cheshire Cat's Quest
Okay, let's be real. When the Cheshire Cat first popped up in Disney Dreamlight Valley, I was beyond excited. A mischievous, grinning feline teleporting around? Sign me up! But then came the quests. And, well, let's just say unraveling the Cheshire Cat's logic can be a bit like trying to herd kittens – fun, but also a little chaotic. So, you're probably here because you're stuck on "On a Wild Cheshire Chase", right? Don't worry; you're not alone. This walkthrough should get you through it, even if the Cheshire Cat's riddles make you want to pull your hair out (and believe me, I've been there!).
The frustrating thing about the Cheshire Cat is his ambiguity. He speaks in circles, and you're never quite sure if he's helping or just messing with you. But that's his charm, I guess. I initially thought this quest would be a breeze, just follow the clues, right? Wrong! Turns out, it's a little more involved than that. More like… a treasure hunt designed by a cat who's had way too much catnip.
Cheshire Cat's First Clue: Cracking the Code
So, the first clue... It's as cryptic as you'd expect. Something about shadows and forgotten memories. Sound familiar? Here's the thing: you need to head to the Forgotten Lands. Yeah, that spooky, perpetually-nighttime biome. If you haven't unlocked it yet, you'll need to save up some Dreamlight. It's an investment, trust me. You'll be spending a lot of time there throughout the game, especailly since you will want to decorate the area as your own sinister wonderland.
Once you're there, look for a shimmering spot on the ground. It's near the entrance from the Plaza, close to the giant skull. Dig it up, and you'll find... a Memory! Specifically, it's a memory of the Cheshire Cat playing with a sundial. That's your next clue. Wait, there's something even more interesting here, while you're searching for clues you could play chess grandmaster and win coins! Chess for coins. If you haven't unlocked the chess table yet then get to searching!
The Sundial's Secret
The sundial is located in the Dazzle Beach area. Find it, and you'll notice it's not just for show. Interact with it, and the Cheshire Cat will give you another riddle. This time, it involves "a place where dreams are made and stars align." Think about it... where in Dreamlight Valley do dreams literally come to life?
The answer is Dream Castle, of course! Head inside and go to the very top floor. You're looking for a specific star map. It's not hard to spot; it's pretty prominent. Once you interact with it, the Cheshire Cat will appear again (because, of course, he will), giving you the final clue.

The Final Piece of the Puzzle
The last clue is a riddle about "a garden where royalty once strolled." This is referring to the Castle's secret garden, the area you unlock behind the castle. If you haven't unlocked it yet, you need to complete the main story quests a bit further. Once you're in the garden, search for another shimmering spot. Dig it up, and you'll find... the final piece of the puzzle!
Now, you need to combine all the pieces at a crafting table. This will create the Cheshire Cat's Memory Orb. Give it to him, and he'll reward you with... well, I won't spoil it entirely. Let's just say it's something fittingly whimsical. As highlighted in crazygames.com, there are plenty of adventures!
Troubleshooting and Tips
Stuck? Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Make sure you're in the correct biome. The Forgotten Lands can be confusing, especially at night.
- Double-check the sundial. Sometimes, interacting with it can be a bit finicky.
- If you're still stuck, try restarting your game. Sometimes, a simple reset can fix glitches.
Also, don't be afraid to explore! The Cheshire Cat's quests are meant to be a bit of a challenge. Embrace the chaos, and you'll eventually figure it out.
On A Wild Cheshire Chase quest walkthrough in Disney Dreamlight Valley FAQ
Why is the Cheshire Cat's quest so confusing?
That's just the Cheshire Cat's personality! He's meant to be enigmatic and a little bit mischievous. The quests reflect his chaotic nature, making them more about exploration and figuring things out than simply following instructions. It’s a feature, not a bug!
How do I know if I'm in the right location for a clue?
The shimmering spots are usually a good indicator. Also, pay close attention to the riddles the Cheshire Cat gives you. They provide hints about the general area where you need to search. If you're in the right area but can't find the spot, try walking around and looking carefully. Sometimes, they're hidden behind objects or buildings.
I found a shimmering spot, but I can't dig it up. What do I do?
Make sure you have your shovel equipped! It sounds obvious, but it's an easy mistake to make. Also, ensure you're standing directly on the shimmering spot. Sometimes, the game can be a little picky about placement. I've been in that situation a few times, I can tell you!
What if the Memory Orb doesn't appear at the crafting table?
Double-check that you have all the necessary pieces. If you're missing even one, the recipe won't show up. Also, make sure you're using the correct crafting table. There are a few different ones in the game, and not all of them can craft every item.
Is it worth completing the "On a Wild Cheshire Chase" quest?
Absolutely! While the Cheshire Cat's quests can be a bit frustrating, the rewards are worth it. Plus, it's a fun way to explore Dreamlight Valley and experience the game's whimsical side. And who wouldn't want to have a chat with a disappearing cat?
