One of the most challenging characters to unlock inDisney Dreamlight Valleyis Jack Skellington. While most villagers have realms or special questlines attached to them, Jack is all about finding mysterious dolls that power a treehouse for him. You even need to meet him to unlock Sally later.
Jack Skellington’s introductory quest isn’t even particularly difficult. Instead, it can feel frustrating if you fall into a certain category of unlucky players who struggle to find small objects. There are a few steps to get through, so let’s get started.

How to unlock Jack Skellington in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Jack is unlocked by completing a quest called “Something Comes A’Knocking.” you’re able to start the mission after meeting the following requirements:
After you’ve completed “Miracles Take Time,” a mysterious tree will emerge in the Forgotten Lands that has a pumpkin carved on it. It’s a familiar tree for any fan ofNightmare Before Christmas, and this is the beginning of your efforts to unlock Jack. Sadly, you don’t actually get to visit Pumpkin Town.
How to find the Matryoshka Dolls in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Before you meet Jack for the first time, you’ll need to find four Matryoshka Dolls. They’re all different sizes, from a big one down to a tiny version. They can spawn anywhere in the village, including in the Forgotten Lands, so you’ll need to keep an eye out for them while you go about your duties. They’ll be surrounded by the same golden glitter effect as any other quest item.
Matryoshka Doll spawns are completely random. Even if you search YouTube videos or ask a friend where they found theirs, it won’t help much, as you’ll likely have entirely different spawn locations. Nonetheless, you can use the image above to gauge what they look like and get an idea of what to look for.
If you’ve been wandering around your Valley for hours looking for your last Matryoshka Dolls, I recommend opening your furniture menu and moving around your items. Odds are, a doll is hiding under one of your furniture items, especially if you have a very decorated Valley.
Your decorations could be hiding the Dolls, and going into the furniture menu allows you to move items around to see beneath them. Moving around this way is also much quicker than physically running around to locate the Dolls, especially since their glow can appear as your camera pans over them if you’re within range.
What to do with the Matryoshka Dolls in Disney Dreamlight Valley
When you’ve eventually gathered up all four differently-sized Dolls, go back to the Forgotten Lands and make your way to the pumpkin tree. You’ll be able to place all four of the Dolls in front of the tree one by one, which will cause Jack to appear. You’ll also get to keep the Dolls, and they make for cute decorations.
All that’s left to do from there is to build Jack’s house. It’s a shrunken-down version of his house from the film and costs 5,000 Star Coins to build. With that done, Jack will be moving in and making himself at home in no time. Just don’t leave him in charge of presents at Christmas.
