Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Storybook Vale expansion offers a magical new chapter for players, and one standout mission is the Trial of Truth. This quest, part of the Ink-Stained World storyline, blends puzzle-solving and cooking into a whimsical adventure guided by Fauna. Completing this quest is crucial for securing the legendary Sword of Truth.
Here’s your complete step-by-step guide to help you breeze through every part of this enchanting trial.
How to Start the Trial of Truth
To unlock the Trial of Truth, you must first complete the Trial of Virtue, hosted by Merryweather. Once that’s finished, you’ll gain access to the second chamber of Storybook Vale, where Fauna awaits.
Fauna appears in this trial as an enchanted stained-glass window. She challenges you to demonstrate kindness, protect critters from frightening shadows, and prepare special meals to win their trust.
Solving the Lion and Bird Puzzle
The quest begins with a tense standoff between a lion and a bird. Fauna explains that large shadows in the chamber are frightening the critters, and it’s your task to make the environment less threatening.
Here’s how to solve it:
- Open your Furniture Placement Menu (Build Mode).
- Locate the two halves of a cage and position them around the bird to enclose it safely.
- Find the decorative Mickey Mouse ears and place them on top of the lion’s head. This makes the lion look less intimidating and softens the threatening shadows.
Once the scene is rearranged, two new critters—a rabbit and a pegasus—will appear, signaling the next stage of the trial.

Cooking Meals for the Critters
With the shadows calmed, Fauna’s next challenge is to cook special meals for the rabbit and the pegasus. Each critter has strict dietary dislikes and unique meal preferences.
All necessary ingredients are found in the chamber’s ingredient table, located on the left side of the room, opposite Fauna’s stained-glass window.
Rabbit Meal – Carrot Salad (Four-Star)
The rabbit wants a hearty meal with four ingredients and refuses anything containing barley, wheat, onion, or rice.
Carrot Salad Recipe:
- Enchanted Carrot
- Enchanted Tomato
- Enchanted Cabbage
- Enchanted Cucumber
Tip: Use the stove in the room to combine these items and create the Carrot Salad. The stove is conveniently placed near the ingredient table.
Pegasus Meal – Barley Salad (Three-Star)
The pegasus prefers simplicity and desires a three-ingredient meal. It refuses to eat anything with tomato, lettuce, cucumber, onion, or rice.
Barley Salad Recipe:
- Enchanted Carrot
- Enchanted Wheat
- Enchanted Barley
Prepare the meal using the same stove you used for the rabbit’s dish.
Finishing the Trial
Once you’ve prepared both meals:
- Feed the Carrot Salad to the rabbit.
- Feed the Barley Salad to the pegasus.
- Speak again with Fauna.
Fauna will congratulate you for your kindness and successful efforts, rewarding you with the Sword of Truth—a key item for progressing further in the Ink-Stained World questline.
