Time for some more spaghetti nonsense.
Pluto is lurking somewhere in the valley, but to find him, you have to navigate through a series of tricky missions in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of the final quests you need to complete to get him is A Curious Dish.
Since this task is tied to a series of secret trials, it can be a fairly tough one to unlock and work through. This specific mission also has a hidden and tricky-to-find item that starts this task, making it an easy one to miss. If any part of it has you stumped, here’s a complete walkthrough for the A Curious Dish quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
How to complete A Curious Dish in Disney Dreamlight Valley
How to start Pluto’s third unlock quest
To begin the A Curious Dish quest, which is the third mission tied to unlocking Pluto, you must find and fish up a Shiny Tomato. This item will appear in your village after you’ve first completed both The Spaghetti Incident quest and the Life’s a Meatball quest.
Fish up a Shiny Tomato
The first Shiny Tomato can be fished out of a pond in the Peaceful Meadow biome. The precise spawn spot of this item varies for everyone, but mine showed up in the big pond located near the west end of the biome. Check the other two smaller ponds near the east end, too, just in case it appears there.
The Shiny Tomato will appear in a special gold ripple spot. You’ll be able to spot the red Shiny Tomato sitting in the middle of it, making it easy to distinguish from other regular fishing spots. If you don’t see this item, make sure you’ve finished both of the other two prerequisite missions with Lady. If it’s still not there, you’ll have to wait until the shop resets in your local timezone.
