Ravens are among the most mysterious critters roaming the gloomy Forgotten Lands in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Players looking to approach and feed these regal birds will quickly discover that they have distinct, sophisticated tastes compared to other animals. Understanding their specific diet is essential for unlocking rewards, collecting motif bags, and befriending them as animal companions.
The Favorite Food of Ravens
Unlike most animals in the valley that enjoy raw ingredients or harvested crops, ravens strictly demand prepared dishes. Their absolute favorite food category consists of any five-star cooked meal available in the game's culinary recipe index. Feeding a raven a five-star meal like Arendellian Pickled Herring, Bouillabaisse, or Large Seafood Platter will grant maximum affection and top-tier rewards.
Secondary Feeding Options and Rewards
If you lack the rare ingredients required for complex recipes, ravens will still accept lower-tier cooked meals. They consider three-star and four-star meals as liked foods, making options like Berry Salad an efficient choice for daily interactions. Feeding them these meals will yield valuable resources such as gold ingots and dream shards while steadily building friendship progress.
How to Approach Ravens in the Forgotten Lands
Finding ravens requires traveling to the Forgotten Lands biome, where different color variations appear depending on the day of the week. When approaching a raven, simply stand nearby while it circles above your character's head for a short duration. Once the raven swoops down and hovers in place directly before you, the prompt to interact and present your chosen meal will appear.
Tips for Easy Meal Preparation
Stocking up on easy five-star recipes is the best strategy for players wanting to build companion status rapidly. Recipes like Arendellian Pickled Herring rely heavily on easily gatherable items such as herring, garlic, lemons, onions, and basic spices. Cooking several of these high-tier meals ahead of time ensures you are always prepared whenever you spot a raven soaring above the trees.
