The Hercules update in Disney Dreamlight Valley includes a hidden collectible challenge involving the five Muses. Rather than solving a traditional puzzle, players must explore the realm, locate each Muse, and take a photo of them. Every photograph awards a vase fragment, and collecting all five fragments unlocks a special crafting recipe for the completed vase.
| Objective | Details |
|---|---|
| Challenge Type | Hidden collectible hunt |
| Collectibles Required | 5 Muse photographs |
| Location | Hercules Realm |
| Reward | Secret Vase crafting recipe |
| Final Step | Craft the vase at a crafting station |
Disney Dreamlight Valley – All 5 Muses location
| Muse | Location |
|---|---|
| Muse #1 | Behind the first pillar after turning left at the start |
| Muse #2 | Left side of the path beyond the waterfall and arrow pillar |
| Muse #3 | Behind the left statue in the twin-statue area |
| Muse #4 | On a rock near the giant Hercules statue |
| Muse #5 | Left side of the final area |
First Muse location
The first Muse is encountered near the beginning of the realm. After entering, turn left and proceed toward the first pillar. The Muse is hidden behind this pillar and can be photographed immediately once spotted.
Second Muse location
Continue through the realm until you reach the waterfall area. Follow the path running to the right of the waterfall. Eventually, you will find a pillar marked with an arrow. From this position, look toward the left side of the path to spot the second Muse waiting nearby.
Third Muse location
Keep progressing through the realm until you reach an area containing two statues. The third Muse is concealed behind the left statue. Walk around the statue and use your camera to capture the photograph.
Fourth Muse location
The fourth Muse appears in the section featuring the giant Hercules statue. Search the rocky formations surrounding the statue and look for the Muse standing on top of a rock. Once you have a clear view, take a picture to collect the next vase piece.
Fifth Muse location
The final Muse is located in the last area of the realm. As you enter the section, check the left side carefully. The Muse is positioned near the edge of the area and can be photographed to obtain the final vase fragment.
How to craft the secret vase
Locate and photograph all five hidden Muses throughout the realm. Verify that all five vase fragments have been collected.
Leave the realm and visit any crafting station. Open the crafting menu and locate the newly unlocked vase recipe. Craft the completed vase using the collected fragments.

| Completion Progress | Finishes the hidden Muse collectible challenge |
The Muse hunt is one of the Hercules Realm’s easiest secrets to miss because the collectibles blend into the environment and require photographs rather than direct interaction. Fortunately, all five Muses are located along the main route through the realm, making it possible to collect every vase piece in a single run. Once you’ve photographed all five and crafted the completed vase, you’ll have finished one of the update’s hidden collectible activities and earned a unique decorative reward for your Valley.
