For “The Dragon Army” you have to collect items like “Bucket of Water” in Disney Dreamlight Valley, complete Mulan's training and make dragon statues. There is a lot to do and we will help you complete Mushu's “The Dragon Army” quest and its sub-quests.

Collecting materials for the dragon army

After completing the quest “A New Recruit”, you must speak to Mushu to begin the task “The Dragon Army”. It is another mission on your way to unlocking the characters Mulan and Mushu for your Valley. Mushu asks you to to collect the following itemsto create a dragon army:

The picture below shows you what these mud holes look like.3x buckets of water: You can find the exact locations of the buckets later in the article if you have any trouble finding them.10x firewood: The firewood looks like simple wood that you already know from Dreamlight Valley. You can find it in the area outside the camp.10x red spider lilies and 10x chrysanthemums: You can easily find both types of flowers outside the camp. Other flowers do not grow in Mulan's kingdom.10x Dream Shards: We explain how to get dream shards in the linked article.Finding mud, wood and flowers

The following picture shows you what the mud puddles, the firewood and the two types of flowers look like that you have to find in the kingdom of Mulan as part of “The Dragon Army”.

Find bucket of water

There are two exits from the training camp. If you leave the camp via the outlet at the boiler and then move along the river bank to the right, then you will find the first bucket of water (see picture).

You will find another bucket to the right of the bridge, which is directly opposite the exit from the Mulan Empire. Look for the large Stone surrounded by bambooThe following picture shows you the exact location.

Cross this bridge and walk to the left between river and fence along, you will reach the third bucket of water.

Once you have found all the materials, go to the workbench in the warehouse. You will find it opposite the table with ingredients. Navigate to the “Furniture” tab and select the “Unfired Dragon Statue”, which you must craft 20 times.

Talk to Mushu and then interacts with the kilnwhich you will find to the right of the ingredient table. Place the dragons and the firewood in it and speak to Mushu again. This concludes this part of “The Dragon Army”.

Orienteering and “Treasures of Training”

Since you now have to wait until the dragon army is ready, you should complete Mulan's training. We have took just over 20 minutesuntil the kites were ready. Even though we finished training early, we had to wait for the kites. So you can take your time with training.

So go to Mulan and talk to her to start the sub-task “Training the Defenders”. Only when you have completed it and the dragons are ready can you move on to “The Dragon Army”. Mulan asks you to complete the following three exercises:

Fishing: Go to the river and fish for the golden water bubbles until you find a snorkel out. Then talk to Mulan and place the fish in the cauldron to complete this training. We had caught 10 salmon by then.Bricks break: Grab your pickaxe and use it to smash the white stone blocks that are arranged in rows near Mulan. You should subjects can collect.Orienteering: Then talk to Mulan to start the orienteering. The order of the tasks doesn't seem to be as random as Mulan claims at the beginning.

Follow Mulan to the entrance to the training labyrinth and talk to her. She will give you training weights that you have to equip via the wardrobe. It works exactly the same as equipping umbrellas. Open the door to the training grounds and talk to Mulan again.

She places 8 pebbles on the floor in the labyrinth that you have to find. Just walk along the paths and look into every corner. A pebble is hidden behind the entrance door. While you collect the pebbles, you will find on the floor “Round weights”that you have to collect.

Bring the pebbles to Mulan and you can complete both the “Orienteering” and “Treasures of Training” subquests. Speak to Mushu and the quest “The Dragon Army” is completed. If the dragon statues are still not ready, you will have to wait patiently for a few more minutes. In order to unlock Mulan and Mushu for the village, you must complete the quest “Clearing the Road”, which you will now receive automatically.
