Hermit Valley

The Season of Dreams also brought along the Hermit Valley, home to the Bearhug Hermit. The Valley can be found high above the Village of Dreams, and can only be entered via a Gondola from the Village itself. Note that this area is also accessible via a Wind Path tunnel added during Season of Flight after completing Flight Quest #2, to the right of the Hermit's cave. To enter, you must first start the 3rd Seasonal Quest from the Dreams Guide, which activates a new button for players to interact with at the very top of the Village slope. Lighting the button will unlock a Gondola leading up to the Hermit Valley. There is only one Spirit to be found here; the young skater, which was part of the 3rd Seasonal Quest. Additionally there is a Map Shrine atop the Hermit's cave.

## Overview

The tranquil Hermit Valley sits atop the Village of Dreams, serving as the home for the Bearhug Hermit. With snow-covered mountains and dangerous cliffs, the area holds a slope which can be raced down using the race feature atop the Hermit's cave (next to the Map Shrine). Race with one other friend to gain 150-300 pieces of light. The slopes also serve as the main spot for the Dreams Guide Quest #3, racing down the slopes and cliffs to collect every light fragment before the time limit.

## Activities

### Dreams Quests

* 3

In the Hermit Valley are able to complete a Seasonal Quest from Season of Dreams, the 3rd Quest to race down the slopes and cliffs to collect every light fragment before the time limit. Completing this quest adds more expressions to the young skater's routine in the Village of Dreams.

### Yeti Race

In the Hermit Valley, players are able to compete in a race found atop the Hermit's cave. Unlike the Sliding Race or Flying Race found in Valley, the amount of Light rewarded at the end is based on the amount of light fragments collected throughout the race. In order to begin the race, a minimum of two players are required to sit on top of the start posts on top the cave.

In the first part of the race (from the Hermit Valley to the transition into the Village of Dreams) there is no time limit. However from the Village of Dreams and downwards a timer of 120 seconds begins. A minimum of 150 Pieces of Light (only one fragment collected) and a maximum of 300 Pieces of Light (every fragment collected) can be earned depending on the amount of fragments collected. The amount collected is shared between all participants so it is recommended to work together to collect every fragment to earn the maximum reward. This race can only be done once per day.
