The Princess Tour quest walkthrough in Disney Dreamlight Valley Many of Disney Dreamlight Valley's villagers are some of the most kindhearted people you'll ever meet, and Princess Aurora is no exception. During her The Princess Tour quest, you'll spend time with various Disney princesses and help them all have a wonderful day. Starting the Princess Tour quest You’ll start the "The Princess Tour" quest after reaching level seven friendship with Aurora . You also need to unlock Jasmine, Tiana, and Mulan as villagers. You'll unlock the mission once you meet all of these requirements and speak to Aurora. Cook Aphrodite's Delight As you approach Aurora, she'll ask if you'd like to spend time with her friends. You'll start by visiting Jasmine, who reveals that she's feeling sad over missing Rajah. Aurora offers to invite some of the Valley's animals into her cottage and host a concert, allowing everyone to sing along and have some much-needed fun. She'll ask you to cook some Aphrodite's Delight, providing you with a recipe for the dish. Screenshot by Destructoid You'll need the following items to make Aphrodite's Delight: Golden Apple Ambrosia Since you need two batches, you'll need to collect two of each item. You can find both from Goofy's Stall in Mythopia. After making the dish, go to Aurora's Cottage to witness the concert. Take pictures for Belle and Tiana's scrapbook Once you and Aurora organize the concert in her cottage, Jasmine will feel much better and a little less homesick. Your next goal is to visit Tiana and Belle, who'll tell you that they're scrapbooking together. However, they don't have a lot of pictures, prompting you to help them. You'll need to take pictures of the following: Jasmine's House A waterfall in the Wild Woods of Everafter A critter from Mythopia. Screenshot by Destructoid The first picture you'll take is of Jasmine and Aladdin's house. Its exact location will depend on where you placed it when you first invited the two to your valley village. It'll look like a tall sandstone tower with a red awning and blue accents along its foundation and doorway. Screenshot by Destructoid The next picture is of the waterfall in the Wild Woods. You'll find this waterfall on the western side of the biome, along the river. Last but not least, you'll need to take a photo of a Pegasus in Mythopia. The Pegasus you encounter will depend on when you log into Disney Dreamlight Valley. Below is a list of their spawn locations and schedules: Color Day Time Blue Pegasus Monday Tuesday Wednesday All day All day All day Peach Pegasus Every day 6 a.m. - 2 p.m. Pink Pegasus Sunday Tuesday Thursday Friday Saturday All day All day All day All day All day Yellow Pegasus Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 6 a.m. - 12 p.m. 6 a.m. - 12 p.m. 6 a.m. - 12 p.m. 6 a.m. - 12 p.m. 6 a.m. - 12 p.m. Screenshot by Destructoid Feeding Pegasus their favorite foods is entirely optional. As long as you take a picture of them, you'll satisfy the quest's objective, letting you return to Tiana and Belle. Meet Mulan and Merida in the Knight's Trial Our last set of friends to visit are Merida and Mulan. As you talk to them, you'll equip Fairytale Armor that you unlocked during The Storybook Vale's main storyline. You'll spot the armor set in your Wardrobe through the quest filter. Once you have the armor on, head into the Fallen Fortress' Fairy Trial and talk to Aurora, Merida, and Mulan. You'll test your strength by breaking three practice bricks with your Royal Pickaxe. It's a short and simple exchange, but it made Aurora happy, so much so that she decides to host a party to celebrate the great day you both had. Craft Aurora's Princess Party Banner Our final objective for Aurora's The Princess Tour quest is to craft some Princess Party Banners. You'll need the following materials for this: Petrified Wood (10) Marble (10) Pine Cones (5) Opal (2) Star Sapphire (2) Screenshot by Destructoid Petrified wood is the easiest of the five items to obtain, as you can find it through mining nodes in The Bind and Everafter. Opals also spawn in The Bind's rocks, while Star Sapphires appear in Everafter's nodes. You'll spot pine cones on the ground near trees in The Bind, letting you knock out four of the five requirements quickly. Lastly, you'll need to take a trip to Mythopia and mine some of its ore rocks to collect marble. With all five materials on hand, head to any crafting station to make Aurora's Princess Party Banners. You'll wrap up the "The Princess Tour" quest by placing the banners down through your furniture menu, letting you take a photo with Aurora and her princess friends. You'll complete the quest, rewarding you with 2,200 friendship XP with Aurora. The post The Princess Tour quest walkthrough in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid .

The Fantastic Four: First Steps reviews are coming in hot. Here’s a round-up of what people are saying about the MCU’s latest It's finally time for the Fantastic Four to return home. Over six after Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, Marvel's First Family joins the MCU and its vast arrangement of heroes and villains with The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25. And the reviews for the new film are beginning to pour in. Image via Marvel Studios With Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic/Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman/Susan Storm, Joseph Quinn as Human Torch/Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing/Ben Grimm, this is the first time that these heroes will be a part of a bigger universe of characters, and it's got the cast to pull it off. But has the Matt Shakman-helmed film pulled it off? Is the MCU so back?! Early returns are, yes , but with an overall mixed bag of impressions, as you may expect from a variety of different critics with their own opinions. It debuted at 88 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes , but here are a sampling of the reviews thus far. Variety The comic book studio finally does right by the popular quartet, scaling back from the overcrowded feel of recent offerings, while delivering its most gargantuan threat yet in the all-consuming villain Galactus. Rolling Stone To say that the version we get in Fantastic Four: First Steps is the best screen adaptation to date of the group means that a low bar has been cleared, though the world-building around them is truly an achievement. The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 Despite its vivid and electric space sequences, the visually striking movie often feels like a throwback analog good time, which certainly worked for me. RogertEbert.com - 88/100 This is a solid, intelligent, occasionally inspired comic book movie that delivers most of what a popular audience demands from the genre (including interstellar voyages and massively scaled action sequences) plus a little bit more. Consequence - 83/100 Calling First Steps the best Fantastic Four movie yet is accurate and also easy, thanks to the low-budget hilarity of 1994's Roger Corman-produced effort, the two lackluster (and blatantly sexist) 2000s movies, and Josh Trank's 2015 disaster. Yet just on its own merits, it's a solid comic book adventure that's not embarrassed by being a comic book adventure — in fact it finds real power in its love for its roots. Empire - 8/10 With an exemplary cast and shiny new alt-universe to enjoy, this is the best Fantastic Four yet. And if that bar’s too low for you, then it’s also the best Marvel movie in years. IGN - 7/10 With The Fantastic Four: First Steps , Matt Shakman directs a film that’s for sure interesting to look at even if it doesn’t quite rise to the scale of its planet-eating antagonist, a force of cosmic nature that doubles as a metaphor for parenting in a way that makes me feel seen as a father. These First Steps might not be the great strides I was hoping for, but they are sure footing for the Fantastic Four to officially leap into the MCU. DiscussingFilm - 4/5 Thankfully, the Fantastic Four’s MCU debut doesn’t adapt them like the Avengers or the Guardians of the Galaxy but in a different font. This movie celebrates their existence in a way that isn’t entirely free from irony, yet still proudly embraces the source material. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a sentimental, zany, and vibrant reintroduction to Marvel’s first superhero family, and a perfect argument for why it was totally worth rebooting them for the silver screen again. Moreover, First Steps successfully tells a story of a family fighting hard for the future of their child at the end of the universe. Total Film - 7/10 Fantastic Four may not be the confident stride Marvel fans were hoping for but, at the very least, it's a solid first step. Collider - 7/10 The Fantastic: Four Steps successfully invigorates the MCU, but it’s the tectonic shift that audiences thought it would be. USA Today - 75/100 After two mediocre 2000s film featuring Marvel’s legendary superhero family, and an atrocious third outing in 2015, the foursome makes its Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in a combo sci-fi/disaster flick full of retrofuturistic 1960s flavor. Entertainment Weekly - 75/100 From its Saul Bass-inspired opening credits to its callbacks to Saturday morning superhero cartoons, it practically vibrates with its sense of time and place. The Mary Sue - 4.5/5 The Fantastic Four: First Steps brings a lightness back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe that both feels like returning home while being entirely unique to Shakman’s MCU style. It is what I wanted from this movie and so much more. Professional critics aside, are you excited for the movie? Are you burnt out on superhero films? Are you a Pedro Pascal megafan and have tickets to see it as early as possible on Thursday? I have IMAX tickets on Friday for myself and my partner, but let us know in the comments what you think. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is in theaters everywhere July 25. The post The Fantastic Four: First Steps reviews are coming in hot.

As of writing, the first set of leaks is yet to arrive, but the first two teams give us a clear idea about what to expect. Team 3 should have special cards for active footballers and retired legends alike, with some of the latter potentially getting cards rated 98 or 99.
