Jump to:Finding Old Friends questRelax! questWhere’s Pumbaa? quest
Unlocking Timon and Pumbaa inDisney Dreamlight Valleyis a bit confusing if you’re new to the valley, but if you’ve been playing for a while it will take significantly less work. Before you start the task of welcoming Timon and Pumbaa to your valley, you’ll need to have the Lion King realm unlocked and both Simba and Nala already prowling about. Unlocking the Lion King realm from the Dream Castle will set you back 10,000 Dreamlight. But it’s well worth it since you can invite four characters from this one doorway now that we’ve got Timon and Pumbaa.
Before you unlock Timon and Pumbaa,you need to have level 10 friendship with Simbaand complete all of his quests. After you’ve done this, you should be able to activate a quest called “Finding Old Friends” which is the beginning of the mission to find Timon and Pumbaa. There are three quests you need to complete for Timon and Pumbaa, so quite a bit of work to be done. Luckily, we’ve broken down what you need to do to make the process easier.
How to unlock Timon and Pumbaa in Disney Dreamlight Valley
There arethree quests you’ll need to completebefore you can unlock Timon and Pumbaa to invite them back to your valley. Luckily, most of these missions can becompleted while you’re in the Lion King realmso you won’t need to constantly leave and come back.
How to complete the Finding Old Friends quest
To start the quest of inviting Timon and Pumbaa to your valley,head to the Lion King realmin the Dream Castle. Once you’re in, find Timon and Pumbaa and speak to them. They’ll let you know you’re too stressed out and need some lessons in Hakuna Matata before they can go to your valley.
Once you’ve had this humbling interaction, you’ll need a crafting table. You can find all the materials in the Lion King realm, which takes away the stress from having to head back to the valley (Hakuna Matata indeed). You’ll need to find the following materials to complete this part of the quest:

After you’ve gathered this, use the crafting station tocreate a lion maneusing the 4 Red Jungle Leavesyou collected earlier. Equip this and speak to Timon and Pumbaa again. They will tell you to fish out a crown from the river underneath the log bridge, and ask you to craft an empty vial. You can do this at the crafting bench usingsand and coal. Once you’ve got these items, you’ll need to place the crown on thebreakable rock near Rafiki’s staffat the top of the jungle and smash it with your pickaxe.
After that, you’ll need tothrow the empty vial into the water (after screaming your worries into it) and head back to camp. Using your shovel on the ‘beds’ will allow you to sleep, which you need to do to complete this quest and initiate the next.
How to complete the Relax! quest
After you’ve woken up from the previous quest,speak to Pumbaato initiate the Relax! Quest. For this one, you’ll need tocraft a hammock. Once again you’ll be able to find all the items needed for this craft within the Lion King. Here’s what you need to craft a hammock:

When you’ve tried all of these spots, head back to Pumbaa and chill in your favourite napping spot. When you wake up, he’ll ask you towater three dried up mud spotswith your Royal Watering Can in front of the camp so you can both play. But, playing works up an appetite, and Pumbaa will then ask you tocatch three floating firefliesfrom the same spots listed above. You’ll need to use them tocook Roasted Jungle Fireflies, and then take a picture of them. Once completed, go to sleep to end this part of the quest and move on to the final part.

The third and final quest starts with you talking to Timon. He’s very panicked after waking up and finding Pumbaa missing, and asks if you can both look for him. Go to the oasis, where you enter the Lion King realm, and you’ll findPumbaa’s behind sticking out from inside a log. Take a picture and speak to Timon, who will ask you to gather a selection of grubs to make an oil mix to help Pumbaa get out of the log.
Return to the valley to speak to Goofy for advice and he’ll give you his plunger to help. The plunger alone isn’t going to be enough, and Goofy will tell you to gather some materials to make it slightly stronger. You’ll then need to gather the following materials:
Once collected, craft a reinforced plunger at a crafting station and go back to Pumbaa. You’ll be able to use this to pull him out of the log, finally. You’ll then be invited back to the camp to take a nap with Timon and Pumbaa before you can finally invite them to your valley.
