Down to Earth Quest Guide
The Down to Earth Quest is a friendship quest given to you by Pumbaa. It features many fun and explorative activities where you have to organize a meteor shower event for him. To do this, you will have to prepare pamphlets, collect fallen meteorite fragments, and host a meteorite showcase for the villagers.
Along the way, you will also meet other members of WALL-E’s Astronomy Club and help them to see the meteorites that have fallen from space. Being a friendship quest, it will not only increase your bond with Pumbaa but will also reward you with Glass furniture items for your collection.
How to Trigger This Quest
To trigger the Down to Earth quest, you will need to make sure that you have reached Friendship Level 7 with Pumbaa. In addition to this, you will also have to unlock the following characters in Dreamlight Valley:
- Buzz Lightyear
- WALL-E
- Prince Eric
- Tiana
After completing these conditions, Pumbaa will approach you and is excited to tell you about a purple star he and Timon saw. He believes it to be a sign of a rare meteor shower. Pumbaa asks for your help to prepare for the event, and this triggers the start of this friendship quest.

+ 3Pumbaa’s first objective is to create Meteor Shower Pamphlets to inform the villagers about the event. He will need your help to gather the required materials to craft them. To craft pamphlets, you will need the following items:
- Pink Houseleek (5): Found in the Sunlit Plateau
- Red Bromeliad (8): Also located in the Sunlit Plateau
- Dry Wood (10): Can be gathered from the ground near trees in the Frosted Heights, Sunlit Plateau, or Forgotten Lands
After collecting these items, head to any Crafting Station in the Valley and craft four Meteor Shower Pamphlets. Once crafted, you are all set to deliver them.
Deliver Pamphlets to Astronomy Club Members
After crafting the Meteor Shower Pamphlets, it is time to hand them over to the members of WALL-E’s Astronomy Club. The club members you need to visit are:
- Buzz Lightyear
- Prince Eric
- Tiana
- WALL-E
Once you have handed them all out, return to Pumbaa to let him know the Astronomy Club is ready for the meteor shower.
Place Merlin’s Spare Telescope
To get the best view of the meteor shower, Pumbaa gives you Merlin’s Spare Telescope. You can place the telescope anywhere in Dreamlight Valley. While the game suggests waiting until nightfall (between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.) for an optimal experience, it's optional, and you can still enjoy the view at any time.
You can place and interact with the telescope at any time to proceed with the quest. Once the telescope is placed, interact with it. A Memory will appear that reveals the locations of a few meteor showers in the Valley.
Search for Meteorite Fragments
After viewing the Memory, you will need to track down three missing Meteorite Fragments that are scattered throughout Dreamlight Valley. Each Memory will lead you to a different location:
- Skull Rock: The first fragment is found outside the Skull Rock.
- Forest of Valor: The second fragment is located near the river, closest to the Plaza side of the Forest of Valor.
- Sunlit Plateau: The final fragment is found near Scar’s Cave in the Sunlit Plateau.
After acquiring all three meteorite fragments, return to Pumbaa, who will express his excitement and suggest putting the meteorite on display for everyone in the Valley.
