In Disney Dreamlight Valley, you’ll encounter quite a few puzzles, including one you can access only after clearing Act One of the story. Here’s how to solve the Skull Rock puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Once you’ve gotten each area’s Pillar restored with its respective orb, you may have noticed there’s an extra second Pillar on an island in Dazzle Beach. It turns out there’s a reason and purpose behind that second pillar. After you clear Act One of the story, look for an Orb of Unity lying on the ground where you and The Forgotten stopped the spell. You can put the orb in the Pillar to trigger a mysterious puzzle. If you’ve started that puzzle and it has confused you as much as it did me, I have you covered.
How to Complete ‘Between Skull Rock and a Hard Place’ puzzle
Once you put the orb inside the pillar, runes appear in the sand in a circle on the little island. A quest starts called ‘Between Skull Rock and a Hard Place.’ While it’s framed as a Merlin quest, if you talk to him, he has no idea what’s going on.
There is no hint given as to what you have to do. Instead, information comes by studying the symbols of the runes. They match the symbols inside the orbs of the other Pillars.

It turns out you literally have to move the pillars. Did you know you could do that? I sure didn’t.
Each Pillar has to be moved onto its respective rune. When you’re finished, it should look like this:
Frosted Heights belongs in the front, followed by Forest of Valor, Plaza, Peaceful Meadow, Glade of Trust, Sunlit Plateau, and finally, Forgotten Lands.
Now you have solved the Skull Rock puzzle in Disney Dreamlight Valley. The quest only completes once you talk to Merlin. Nothing further comes of it for now. Presumably, whatever happened to Skull Rock will become relevant in a future story update.
