Players gain access to Shipwreck Shores, Candy Cove, and the Kingdom of Oublié. Each region offers both land-based exploration and unique underwater sections, which require players to transform into a mermaid to fully traverse the environment. ## Shipwreck Shores Features Shipwreck Shores serves as the initial biome for players entering the new world. This pirate-themed area allows interaction with characters like Milo Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. Additionally, players can unlock a sailable pirate ship feature as they progress through this specific region. ## Candy Cove Environment Candy Cove acts as the second biome, characterized by its vibrant, candy-themed landscape. Within this sugary environment, players encounter Megara from Hercules and Captain Hook from Peter Pan. Like other areas in the expansion, it features an explorable underwater section accessible only after players master the mermaid transformation mechanic for their character. ## Kingdom of Oublié Details The final biome, the Kingdom of Oublié, presents an ancient, ruined aesthetic defined by its unique coral-based architecture. This area provides a distinct visual contrast to the previous zones. Players visiting this location will meet Wendy from Peter Pan, while continuing to explore the underwater depths that define the expansion's core gameplay loop. ## Exclusive DLC Critters The expansion introduces three unique critter companions, each tied to a specific biome. Toucans inhabit Shipwreck Shores, Meringuins are found in Candy Cove, and Axolotls reside in the Kingdom of Oublié. These creatures come in various colors and are exclusive to the expansion pass, requiring ownership of the DLC to unlock them. ## Acquisition and Limitations These specific critters are strictly tied to the expansion pass and cannot be found elsewhere in the game. While the developers may release different versions of these animals in the Premium Shop for Moonstones, the original DLC-exclusive variants remain locked behind the purchase of The Keepsake Sea expansion for all interested players. ## Expanding Your Collection Beyond the new additions, Disney Dreamlight Valley features a wide array of other critters to befriend across different worlds. Players looking to grow their collection can seek out Hedgehogs, Sweet Bees, Geese, and Skunks. These companions provide additional goals for players who enjoy collecting and interacting with the game's diverse wildlife. ## Strategic Gameplay Value Understanding the biome and critter distribution is essential for players deciding whether to invest in The Keepsake Sea. By evaluating the specific characters and companions offered in each zone, players can better determine if the expansion aligns with their personal interests and current progress within the broader Disney Dreamlight Valley experience. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.destructoid.com/all-disney-dreamlight-valley-the-keepsake-sea-biomes-and-critters/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
