Initiating the ‘Hot and Cold’ Quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley



To embark on the ‘Hot and Cold’ quest, you must achieve Level 7 Friendship with Jasmine and fulfill several key prerequisites:
- Complete Jasmine’s Level 2 and Level 4 Friendship Quests, which include ‘The Enchanted Flower’ and ‘A Sandy Competition.’
- Progress in your relationship with Elsa.
- Advance with Mother Gothel in the game.

Once you meet these criteria, you can initiate the ‘Hot and Cold’ quest by conversing with Jasmine and selecting the ‘Hot and Cold’ dialogue option.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough of the ‘Hot and Cold’ Quest

Your adventure begins with a conversation with Elsa. Jasmine discovers another clue regarding the Secret Journal and suspects that a key to unlocking it lies hidden within the Frosted Heights.
Explore Elsa’s Ice Cavern and Photograph the Pedestal Symbols


After your initial discussion with Elsa, venture to the Forest of Valor and enter Elsa’s Ice Cavern to speak with her again. If you have already completed the Level 10 Friendship quest, you’ll find a mysterious blue chest ensnared in unbreakable ice beside the gray pedestals, known as the Sun and Snow pedestals. To unlock this chest, you’ll need to take photographs of both pedestals first, as demonstrated in the image above.
Photograph Pedestal Symbols in the Frosted Heights and Sunlit Plateau


Your next step involves travelling to the Frosted Heights and the Sunlit Plateau to capture images of the Sun and Snowflake symbols scattered throughout each biome with your camera tool. You can approach this task in any order, with five white Sun and five white Snow symbols appearing on various rocks within each area, as indicated on the accompanying maps below:
Locations of Snow Pedestal Symbols in the Frosted Heights





Locations of Sun Pedestal Symbols in the Sunlit Plateau



Generally, the Sun and Snow Symbols are strategically placed around the edges of each biome on rocks. However, don’t forget to search near water pools and at varying heights, as some symbols are cleverly concealed. Accessing all areas of the Frosted Heights biome also requires an upgraded pickaxe to clear large ice blocks, thanks to Elsa.
Retrieve the Ice Key and Speak with Jasmine

Once you have successfully photographed all the required symbols, return to Elsa’s Ice Cavern to collect the Ice Key from the now-accessible chest. Afterward, reconnect with Jasmine and enter her and Aladdin’s house to investigate the Enchanted Flower. To your surprise, the flower that held the Secret Journal appears to be missing!
Trace the Trail of Giant Petals and Confront Mother Gothel




After discussing the situation with Jasmine, follow her to the Plaza, where she notices something unusual in the distance. Once you reach the area, you’ll discover a glowing petal on the ground, which appears to belong to the Enchanted Flower. Converse with Jasmine again, then trace the trail of Giant Petals leading you towards the Glade of Trust and directly in front of Mother Gothel’s Willow Tree. Subsequently, enter the Willow Tree and confront Mother Gothel about the missing Enchanted Flower, choosing your dialogue based on your level of annoyance with her.
Unlock the Second Lock on the Secret Journal with the Ice Key


After your conversation with Mother Gothel, return to Aladdin and Jasmine’s residence and interact with the Enchanted Flower to use the Ice Key to unlock the Secret Journal—finally! Be sure to retrieve the Secret Journal and present it to Jasmine, engaging her in a discussion about your unexpected discovery. Yet, the tale does not conclude here; you’ll need to tackle Jasmine’s final Level 10 Friendship Quest to uncover what happens next, as the adventure takes an even more enigmatic turn.
