Oswaldis inDisney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time, thanks to theThrills and Frills update, and he brings with him some friendship quests which should be completed before you continue Act II of the expansion.

Oswald’s level 4 quest, An Alarming Development, brings with it a grind that will be alarmingly familiar to anyone who remembers Minnie Mouse’s Clock.

The first step of An Alarming Development is making Oswald some alarm clocks to help him wake up in the morning. It turns out that a single alarm clock isn’t sufficient to drag the lucky rabbit out of bed in the morning (I know the feeling), so you’re going to need a huge pile of resources to make a lot of clocks.

The quest asks for the following items:

In total, you’ll need the following base resources to complete this step of An Alarming Development:

Once you’ve gathered the resources, head to a Crafting Station and use them to create Oswald’s selection of alarm clocks from the Functional Items tab. Then you’ll have to wait 10 minutes before you can talk to Oswald again to continue the quest.

In true Disney fashion, the clocks have developed a taste for adventure, sprouted legs and run off. Oswald now needs our help to track them down before they cause a case of mass sleep deprivation in the other residents of Eternity Isle.

To grab the clocks, you’ll first need to track them down and then figure out their running pattern. They each follow a predetermined path, so you’re able to intercept them pretty easily once found. You’ll  know when you’re getting close to a clock, because an alarm sound will play.

Once you’ve found these seven clocks, head back to Oswald and hand them over. Sadly, your job isn’t done, because there are three more errant timepieces hidden around Eternity Isle. For these three, you’ll need to follow Oswald’s clues to find the remaining Clocks.

Here’s how to find the remaining three errant clocks:

When you’ve found the last three clocks, head back to Oswald and after taking them from you, he’ll tell you that they now need calming down. To do this, you’ll need to find Olaf and get him to read them a bedtime story.

This is the easiest part of this whole quest. Simply find Olaf and talk to him before heading back to Oswald’s house. Inside, you’ll find all of the now located alarm clocks, along with Oswald and Olaf on the stage ready to tell a story. Listen to the story, then talk to Oswald again.

How to make and use Oswald’s Black (and White) Coffee inDisney Dreamlight Valley

In an attempt to make amends for keeping the residents of Eternity Isle awake with his errant alarm clocks, Oswald decides that the best apology comes in the form of coffee. However, this isn’t just any old coffee, this is black (and white) coffee with a very questionable recipe.

To make the necessary four coffees, you’ll need the following resources:

Once you’ve got all of this, head to a Crafting Station and make the coffee, before heading out to give them to the following Villagers:

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately if you happen to enjoy this kind of thing, the coffee comes with a fun linguistic side effect, causing those who drink it to talk like Oswald. Once you’ve given out all of the coffee, head back to Oswald to discuss what happened.

The final step of this quest is to help Oswald make amends for missing brunch with Stitch. To do this, you’ll need to decorate a spot on Eternity Isle in preparation using furniture items which fit the following categories:

Items can fulfil requirements for multiple categories. For instance, a quirky chair that’s black would count towards three categories.

Once you’ve set up your picnic spot, talk to Oswald again and he’ll give you a Cartoon Parasol. Placing this down will trigger a photo opportunity featuring both Oswald and Stitch, and once you’ve taken your snapshot you’ll be free to talk to Oswald again to complete An Alarming Development.
