Disney Dreamlight Valley Dunebopper: Where to Find and How to Catch

The Dunebopper is a fish exclusive to the A Rift in Time expansion in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This fish can be challenging to catch, but it is an essential ingredient in several recipes, such as Sand Stew. In this guide, players will learn where to find the Dunebopper and how to catch it effectively.

Where to Find the Dunebopper

The Dunebopper can only be found in one specific location on Eternity Isle:

To access the Oasis, players must first unlock the Glittering Dunes biome by progressing through Jafar's Story Quests. Once the biome is accessible, players need to gather 6,000 Mist to remove the swirling rocks blocking the path to the Oasis. Merlin will assist in clearing the blockade once the required amount of Mist has been obtained.

How to Catch the Dunebopper

Upon entering the Oasis, players should search for blue ripple pools in the water, as these are the exclusive spots where Duneboppers can be caught. Here are the steps to catch a Dunebopper:

1. Equip the fishing rod and approach a blue ripple pool.
2. Cast the line into the middle of the ripple.
3. When the fish reacts, press the corresponding button.
4. Press the button again when the circle is inside the highlighted marker.
5. Repeat the process until the fish is caught.

It may take several attempts to catch a Dunebopper, as other fish can also appear in blue ripple pools. Players should be persistent and continue fishing until they have obtained the desired number of Duneboppers.

Dunebopper Uses and Quest Objectives

The Dunebopper is not only a valuable ingredient in recipes but also plays a role in certain quests. In Goofy's The Ones That Got Away Friendship Quest, players need to catch two Duneboppers as part of the objectives. The Dunebopper can also be consumed to restore 1,100 energy points or sold for 550 Star Coins.

In the Sand Stew recipe, the Dunebopper is a specific ingredient that cannot be substituted with other fish. This five-star recipe restores 5,000 energy points and can be sold for 2,244 Star Coins.

Disney Dreamlight Valley players searching for the Dunebopper should focus their efforts on the Oasis in the Glittering Dunes biome. By casting their lines in blue ripple pools and being persistent, players can successfully catch this elusive fish and utilize it in recipes and quests. With the Dunebopper in hand, players can continue to explore the vast world of Disney Dreamlight Valley and uncover the secrets of Eternity Isle.
