Are you stuck trying to figure out where to "place the homing beacon on Skull Rock"? You are not alone. As of December 2025, this specific quest step in Disney Dreamlight Valley remains one of the most confusing objectives for players due to a slightly misleading instruction. The key to solving this puzzle is realizing that the game does not want you to interact with the massive, ominous Skull Rock formation itself, but rather a specific, smaller landmark located right in front of it.
This critical step is part of the final, crucial quest to bring the beloved blue alien, Stitch, to your Valley. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the entire process, from unlocking the quest to placing the beacon in the precise spot on Dazzle Beach, finally resolving the mystery of the missing socks and the strange space debris.
The Built to Destroy! Quest: Prerequisites and Initial Steps
The mission to place the Homing Beacon is the climactic finale of a long-running mystery in the Valley. This entire storyline is tied directly to the character Donald Duck and his missing items. To even begin the final stage, you must meet several important prerequisites.
Key Quest Prerequisites
- Donald Duck's Friendship Level: You must reach Level 10 Friendship with Donald Duck. This is his final, top-tier Friendship Quest.
- Preceding Quests: You must have completed all of Donald's previous quests, which revolve around finding his lost, blue-stained socks in various biomes, including the Peaceful Meadow, Forest of Valor, and Dazzle Beach.
- Biomes Unlocked: You need access to Dazzle Beach, where the final placement takes place.
Once you hit Level 10 with Donald, he will give you the quest titled "Built to Destroy!". This quest begins with a search for a final clue to the strange happenings in the Valley.
Step-by-Step Quest Walkthrough to Get the Beacon
- Find the Clue in Merlin's Library: The first step is to visit Merlin's Library, located inside his house in the Peaceful Meadow. Look for a small, glowing clue—a photo—on one of the tables.
- Talk to Donald Duck: Present the photo to Donald. He will recognize the strange device in the picture and identify it as a Homing Beacon.
- Retrieve the Homing Beacon: Donald will then give you the Homing Beacon item. This is a key item that will appear in your inventory, ready for deployment.
- The Confusing Objective: The quest log will now update, instructing you to "Place the Homing Beacon on Skull Rock on Dazzle Beach." This is where the confusion begins for almost every player.
The Exact Location: Placing the Homing Beacon on Skull Rock
The biggest hurdle in this quest is the vague wording. The massive, craggy Skull Rock formation itself is just a backdrop. You cannot interact with it. The actual placement spot is a small, separate island nearby.
Where to Go on Dazzle Beach
The Skull Rock landmark is located on the southeastern edge of the Dazzle Beach biome. It’s a large, distinctive rock that looks like a skull, often visible near the Wishing Well and Moana's Boat.
The Correct Placement Spot:
- Look for the Small Island: Just offshore, directly in front of the main Skull Rock formation, you will see a tiny, separate island.
- Find the Pillar: This small island has a single, distinctive stone pillar or small rock formation on it. This is your target location.
- The Interaction Prompt: Walk onto this small island. You should see a faint, shimmering outline or a prompt appear on the ground near the pillar, indicating a placeable spot.
How to Place the Beacon
Placing the Homing Beacon is done via the Furniture Menu, similar to decorating your home or the Valley.
- Open the Furniture Menu: Access your inventory and switch to the Furniture tab (or use the shortcut for the Furniture menu).
- Locate the Homing Beacon: The Homing Beacon will be categorized as a Furniture item. Find it in your list.
- Place the Item: Select the Homing Beacon and place it directly onto the shimmering spot you found on the small island in front of Skull Rock.
Once the item is placed, a brief cutscene will immediately trigger. You will see a small spaceship streak across the sky and crash-land in your Valley, confirming you have successfully completed the objective and initiated the arrival of Experiment 626.
The Aftermath: Unlocking Stitch and Topical Authority
Placing the Homing Beacon is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a new one. The crashed spaceship will appear in a random biome, and your next quest will be to investigate the crash site.
The entire storyline, which involves characters like Donald Duck, Merlin, and eventually Stitch, is a fantastic example of Disney Dreamlight Valley's deep Friendship Quest system. The search for the Lost Socks and the eventual discovery of the alien Homing Device connects multiple plot threads, establishing a rich topical authority around the Lilo & Stitch universe within the game.
The confusion surrounding the "Skull Rock" placement is a deliberate design choice, forcing players to explore the Dazzle Beach biome thoroughly and pay close attention to environmental clues, rather than just the map marker. By successfully navigating this tricky step, you prove your commitment to restoring the Valley and welcoming one of Disney's most popular extraterrestrial entities.
Key Entities and Terms Related to the Quest
To ensure you have all the necessary information, here is a list of relevant entities and concepts for this quest:
- Character Entities: Stitch, Donald Duck, Merlin, Experiment 626, Lilo & Stitch.
- Quest Items: Homing Beacon, Lost Socks, Donald’s Photo, Space Debris.
- Locations: Skull Rock, Dazzle Beach, Peaceful Meadow, Merlin's Library, Wishing Well, Moana's Boat.
- Gameplay Concepts: Friendship Quest, Level 10, Unlocking Characters, Biomes, Furniture Menu.
Remember, if you encounter a bug where the Homing Beacon disappears or the prompt doesn't appear, a quick restart of the game or moving the Wishing Well on Dazzle Beach (if you have unlocked the ability to move Biome objects) can sometimes resolve the issue, as the game is continuously updated for stability.
