The final trial you have to tackle to find Aurora is The Trial of Song, and it’s yet another tricky puzzle to complete in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This one is all about the gift of song, but you don’t actually need to do any singing to get it done.
Instead, you’re working through yet another shadow puzzle featuring musical characters and instruments. Like all other shadow puzzles, this one can be pretty tough to solve, so here’s how to complete The Trial of Song in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete The Trial of Song in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To finish The Trial of Song quest in DDV, you need to prove your musical talent by completing a special shadow puzzle. This puzzle was originally designed for Aurora, not you, so it’s a tough one to get through since it was never meant to be done by you.
Talk to the stained glass Flora in the grand ballroom
To get The Trial of Song going, you first need to talk with Flora in the grand ballroom since this is her Trial. She has a bit of advice for you, but not much to really help you navigate through it.
Find a way to position the dancer’s shadows
The next step in solving this puzzle is finding a way to position the dancer’s shadows. On the ledge near Flora overlooking the ballroom, there are two dancing statues you can move around. Interact with each dancer once to position their shadows in the central region onstage.

Arrange the instruments in the right spots
With the dancers in place, you can now head down the stairs near Flora to enter the main ballroom area, which is where you can start working on this puzzle. On either side of the stage, there are two scrolls for you to read. Each scroll gives you hints about where to place the dancers and instruments onstage.
- The first scroll, which is the one on the left, says, “The piano’s notes ring truest from this side of the stage. The harp and the cello work best when placed beside each other. One dancer ought to be between the cello and piano.”
- The second scroll, which is the one on the right, says, “The lute sounds best on this side of the stage. There ought to be a dancer between the lute and the harp.”
With the positions of the dancers already set and these clues in mind, you need to open furniture mode and move each of the instruments where they belong. To do so, you must:
- Place the piano on the left side of the dancer on the left.
- Place the cello on the right side of the dancer on the left.
- Place the harp on the left side of the dancer on the right.
- Place the lute on the right side of the dancer on the right.

Similar to the puzzles you faced during The Trial of Virtue and The Trial of Truth, the locations for each instrument are very precise and cannot be even slightly off if you want to finish this one. The dancer on the left is touching both of the shadows, but the dancer on the right is only in contact with the harp, which can make it a bit more confusing to solve.
Pick up the Cap of Song
With the puzzle now complete, head to the front of the stage you just set up to pick up the Cap of Song. Head back up to Flora to discuss your triumph and officially conclude The Trial of Song quest.
