Exploring the mysterious Forgotten Lands in Disney Dreamlight Valley introduces players to various unique creatures, with ravens being among the most intriguing companions to tame. Unlike basic critters that eat raw ingredients or harvested crops, ravens have remarkably refined tastes that reflect their spooky and elegant nature. Knowing what meals to prepare and how to approach these soaring birds ensures you can quickly add them to your critter collection.
Understanding Raven Diet Preferences and Favorite Foods
Ravens in Dreamlight Valley will not accept raw fruit, vegetables, or fresh fish like other animals across the village. Their absolute favorite food is any 5-star meal prepared at a cooking station. Feeding a raven a 5-star dish grants the highest rewards, such as Motifs and Dream Shards.
If you lack complex ingredients, ravens will also accept 3-star and 4-star cooked recipes as liked foods. While these lower-tier meals will not yield top-rank favorite rewards, they can still help toward taming progress and may grant useful materials like gold ingots. Simple 5-star options such as Arendellian Pickled Herring or Large Seafood Platter are popular choices among players due to their easily accessible ingredients.
How to Approach and Feed Ravens in the Forgotten Lands
Locating ravens requires visiting the dark, mysterious biome known as the Forgotten Lands. Once you spot a raven soaring in the sky, walk directly toward it until it notices your presence. The bird will begin flying in a wide circular motion directly above your character's head.
To successfully interact, simply stand still for a few seconds while the raven completes its overhead loops. After a short period, the raven will descend and flap its wings gently while hovering near the ground. Walk up to the creature once the approach prompt appears on your screen, open your inventory, and select the cooked meal you wish to present.
Schedules and Taming Tips for Every Raven Variant
There are five distinct raven variants available in the game, including black, blue, brown, red, and white versions. Each color variant appears on specific days and times throughout the week in the Forgotten Lands. For instance, the blue raven appears on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while the brown raven only spawns during a specific time window on Tuesdays.
To fully unlock a raven as a permanent companion, you must feed it its favorite meal across multiple days. Carrying a stack of easy 5-star recipes in your backpack allows you to quickly complete feedings whenever you enter the biome. Maintaining a consistent feeding routine makes expanding your companion lineup smooth and enjoyable.
