A New Chapter Walkthrough
"A New Chapter" is the second quest for Merida in Disney Dreamlight Valley's Storybook Vale Expansion. It takes place immediately after completing "Welcome to Storybook Vale" and involves helping Merida restore the Bind, one of the three biomes in the Vale.
Clear Out The Bind
Talk to Merida,who reveals that you will need 500 Story Magicto unlock the rest of the Bind. You can earn Story Magic by completing Dutiesin Storybook Vale. These include fishing, mining, farming, catching Snippets, and more!
Once you've unlocked the rest of the Bind, Merida asks you to clear away 15 Inkies and catch 5 Snippets. The Snippets in the Bind are birds fairly similar to the ones in the Lore Library, although they fly a little bit faster, so make good use of circular swings to slow them down as needed!
Open Goofy's Stall & Scrooge's Store
Merida suggests that the next step is to re-open Goofy's Stall and Scrooge's Store in the Bind. To do this, you will first need to talk to Goofy and Scrooge respectively, and then complete tasks for them showing off the riches of the Bind.
Goofy's Stall
Talk to Goofy, who asks you to catch any three fish in the Bind. New fish found in the Bind are the Sea Wolf, Koi, and Sorcerer Hat Hermit Crab. It does not have to be three different fish - it can be three of the same!
Once you have done this, show the fish to Goofy and then interact with the sign by his Stall to open it. (It will not cost you any Star Coins!)
Scrooge's Store
Talk to Scrooge, who asks you to mine ten Gems or Minerals from the Bind. Again, these do not need to be different - they can all be the same. You can mine the Rock Spots in the Bind to find Petrified Wood, Topaz, and Opal.
Once you have done this, show the gems to Scrooge and then interact with the sign in front of his Store to open it - this will not cost you any Star Coins!
Fix The Fountains
Talk to Merida, who is happy with your progress but upset that the Bind's fountains are still dry. However, she found a secret room that might hold the answer!
Follow Merida to the secret door under the bridge and open it. Pick up the Aurora's Diary page on the ground and show it to Merida, who realizes the room must have belonged to Princess Aurora before her disappearance.
Go back inside the room and interact with the slightly tilted light on the wall to reveal a secret wheel. Use your Royal Net to spin the wheel, and the fountains will turn back on!
Place Merida's House
The last step in this quest is to place Merida's House anywhere in the Bind. Interact with the sign next to it and spend 5000 Star Coins to have Scrooge build the house.
Finally, take a picture with Merida to celebrate that the two of you have restored the Bind together!
