How to Start the Create A Bear Quest
The quest unlocks once you finish Joy’s final quest, Dream a Little Dream. This event directly triggers Sadness’s final friendship quest, so completing Joy’s storyline is essential before Create A Bear becomes available.
Step 1: Locate Three Memory Fragments
Your first task is to collect three Memory Fragments hidden across the valley. Each fragment is tied to a clue:
- Outside somewhere you feel at home – Found outside, near your main house in the valley.
- A place that connects many worlds – Located in the Dreamlight Castle, on the top floor near the Inside Out Realm door and fountain.
- Where Joy and Sadness control emotions – Inside the Inside Out Realm, in the HQ room near the console you previously repaired.
These fragments appear as glowing, light-blue objects, distinct from the rainbow-colored glimmer you may have seen elsewhere in the game.
Step 2: Return to the Inside Out Realm
Once you’ve collected all three fragments, head back to the HQ room in the Inside Out Realm. Interact with the central console to place the fragments inside. If you’re not already nearby, use fast travel to quickly reach the top floor of the Dream Castle and enter the Inside Out Realm.
Step 3: Activate Developer Mode and Rearrange the Memory
After inserting the fragments, press the sparkly button on the far-right side of the console to activate Developer Mode.
Next, rearrange the memory fragments using the three console buttons. You can solve it in two ways:
- Quick method: Press the left button three times, the middle button once, and the right button twice.
- Image method: Arrange the sequence to show (1) an intact bear, (2) shadowy figures laughing at you holding the bear, and (3) a torn bear.
When the correct order is set, a Lost Diary Page will drop on the ground. Pick it up, then return to Sadness to discuss what you discovered before moving forward.
Step 4: Gather Materials for the New Comfort Bear
Sadness encourages you to replace the lost bear with a new one, turning the painful memory into something uplifting. To do so, you’ll need to gather the following items:
| Material | Location |
|---|---|
| Diamond x5 | General mining resource |
| Emerald x5 | Forest of Valor / Glade of Trust |
| Tourmaline x5 | Sunlit Plateau / Frosted Heights |
| Cotton x50 | Grown in Sunlit Plateau |
| Fiber x50 | Crafted from Seaweed (1 Seaweed = 5 Fiber) or bought at Kristoff’s Stall |
| Dream Shard x30 | Dug from sparkling ground / cleared from Night Thorns |
| Yellow Nasturtium x30 | Found in Sunlit Plateau |
| Purple Impatiens x10 | Found in Forgotten Lands |
Use these resources at a crafting station under the Functional Items tab to make two important components: the Special Plush Bear Sewing Machine and the Plush Bear Framework.
Step 5: Craft the New Comfort Bear
With the framework and sewing machine ready, open the Furniture tab at a crafting station to create the New Comfort Bear.
This recipe also requires the plush bear parts you’ve collected throughout Joy and Sadness’s earlier quests:
- Plush Bear Head
- Plush Bear Body
- Plush Bear Buttons
- Plush Bear Thread
- Plush Bear Stuffing
- Brown Plush Bear Yarn
- Yellow Plush Bear Yarn
- Special Plush Bear Sewing Machine
- Plush Bear Framework
Once crafted, place the New Comfort Bear anywhere in your valley and meet Sadness there.
Step 6: Decorate with Blue and Yellow Items
To complete the quest, you’ll need to decorate the area around the bear with five blue and yellow items. Enter Furniture Mode, and either use Sadness’s quest filter or manually filter by colors.
Any items count toward the goal, and they don’t have to remain placed afterward. For example, you can use pillows, lamps, birdhouses, or bubble machines.
After decorating, take a picture with the Inside Out characters, then speak to Joy. She’ll provide Fireworks, which you’ll need to place near the New Comfort Bear. Finally, talk to Sadness again to wrap up the quest.
Rewards for Completing the Quest
Completing Create A Bear rewards you with:
- “In Your Feelings” Overalls – a special outfit for your character.
- Basic Plush Bear (Touch of Magic) – a customizable bear item you can design yourself.
These items serve as fitting keepsakes for the journey with Joy and Sadness.
