begin the quest:
- begin by chatting with merlin! select the great blizzard option and he’ll tell you how to restore the pillar in frosted heights. you’ll need to search the blizzard for the source of the disturbance.

- head over to the frosted heights near the back right wall and interact with the new doorway. you’ll find a new mysterious space, as well as olaf!
- chat with olaf to find your next quest–searching for scary squirrels, which have run off with his buttons and nose! this is part 1 of putting olaf back together again.
- in the meantime, collect the sparkling journal pages on the floor of the secret chamber. these will produce orbs that will open up new lost journal entries. there are five total.
- head outside and find the scary squirrels! there will be four total to catch.
- note: you can select these scary squirrels as your companion once you’ve found them all!

- find elsa and ask her how to help water show what it remembers about this incident.
- use your map to find her in dreamlight valley.

- return to olaf to relay what you saw.
- olaf will remember a bit more of what happened with the forgotten and the orb. you’ll come up with the next plan of fixing the dark portal, which is where the lost orb and olaf’s arms have ended up.
- collect a few books on the floor and return to olaf once you have found the one called, “so you want to open a dark portal.”
- next, create a dreamlight prism that will fix the dark portal. to do this, find the broken glass pieces on the floor of the secret chamber and use those along with 10 glass and 5 purified night shards to craft a dreamlight prism.

- tip: create a rainbow with gems (red orange yellow green blue violet).
- collect one citrine, one emerald, and one amethyst.
- citrines can be mined in the glade of trust and sunlit plateau.
- emeralds can be mined in the forest of valor and glade of trust.

- place the emerald in the far right pedestal.
- place the amethyst on the front right pedestal.
- now, whisper one of your deepest fears into the dark portal to activate it!

- next, head back to olaf. he’ll be very grateful to have his arms back!
- while chatting you’ll realize that the light and magic are gone from the orb.
- when it seems like there are no more options left, olaf decides to make matters better with a warm hug.
- the orb will start lighting up and you both realize the power has returned to it from the simple act of love!
- head out to the frosted heights and return the orb back to the portal. *poof!* the blizzard will be gone from dreamlight valley!
- return back to olaf and share the good news.
- your friendship with olaf will increase to level 2!
