Summary

ADisney Dreamlight Valleyplayer recently discovered a much easier way to interact with the game’s many animals by exploiting the stamina meter, which can be refilled with in-game food or items. Apparently, interacting with some of the animals, which is largely seen as one of the trickiest tasks inDisney Dreamlight Valleydue to how timid some of them are, is as simple as running faster than them with a boosted stamina meter.

Disney Dreamlight Valleyis full of tasks and daily challengesfor players to engage in as they explore their village, one of which asks the player to befriend every animal in the game by interacting with and feeding them. While some, like squirrels or rabbits, are fairly easy to approach, others, such as the elusive crocodiles or raccoons, are much more timid, and run away if the player gets too close, requiring the player to move toward them one step at a time.

However, Reddit user BBW_1409 took to theDreamlight Valleysubreddit to share a more efficient way to approach the animals by boosting the stamina meter with high-energy foods and running alongside the animals to chase them down.Certain foods inDreamlight Valleyprovide buffs, one of which is the “Well Fed” status, which unlocks an extra bar of stamina and provides a significant speed boost, making it easier to catch up with a critter on the move.

Dreamlight Valley Player Makes Interacting With Animals Much Easier

According to the post, players will still have to get close enough to interact with the animal once before it takes off running, so some use of the original, slower method may still be required, but after the initial interaction, it is only a matter of chasing them down. Players can boost their stamina usingthe cooking mechanic inDreamlight Valleyto make one of many high-energy foods, which are typically five-star meals like Peanuts and Anglerfish or a fruit salad made entirely from Dreamlight Fruit.

Fans corroborated the method’s success in the comments, consistently stating that it worked with little to no issue and praising the player for discovering a way to make one ofDreamlight Valley’strickiest mechanics a little simpler. Others gave some tips onhow to catch some of the other animals inDreamlight Valley,such as the cobras, who will coil up to the player’s feet if they stand still long enough, while others claimed there are ways to chase down animals without boosting the player’s stamina, though these have not been proven.
