After coming to the Valley, Elsa will task players with the Breaking the Ice quest, which will not only increase your friendship with her, but allow you to upgrade your Royal Pickaxe.
You need to find a few ingredients to craft the Warmth of Summer Potion, and one of them is a Vial of Ocean Water. Here's how to find a Vial of Ocean Water in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
How to upgrade your Royal Pickaxe in Disney Dreamlight Valley
"Breaking the Ice" is Elsa's very first Friendship quest after returning to the Valley, and is given when Elsa at least reaches Friendship level 2. In this quest, players will help her create a Warmth of Summer Potion, which will upgrade their Royal Pickaxe so they can begin breaking through the large ice blocks. Here's how to complete this quest.
Where to find a Vial of Ocean Water in Disney Dreamlight Valley
You will need a few different ingredients to make Elsa's Warmth of Summer Potion, but the Vial of Ocean Water is the most important and somewhat difficult. You can find the vial at Dazzle Beach, but you'll need to look in a specific spot. After accepting the quest from Elsa, head over to the location marked in the red circle on the image above. Check the water at the exact location, and you'll see a golden dazzle in this area. Interact with the golden dazzle to collect the Vial of Ocean Water.
After collecting the Vial of Ocean Water, you'll need the following additional ingredients to complete Elsa's Breaking the Ice quest:
| Ingredient | How to get |
|---|---|
| Sunflowers x5 | Harvestable in Dazze Beach |
| Lemons x5 | Harvestable in Forest of Valor and Glade of Trust |
| Sugarcane x2 | Purchased at Goofy's Stall at Dazzle Beach |
| Garlic x2 | Harvestable in Forest of Valor |
Once you have all the items, head to a crafting station to craft the Warmth of Summer Potion. Return to Elsa and give her the potion, and she will apply it to your Pickaxe. After that's done, players will be able to break the big ice shards closing the entrance of the Ice Cavern at the Forest of Valor biome.
