Bringing all of your favorite classic characters back to the magical kingdom is one of the most rewarding aspects of the experience. While many heroes arrive early in your adventure, unlocking Prince Eric requires substantial dedication and progression through multiple character questlines. If you are struggling to find the royal companion, this comprehensive guide will detail every milestone needed to bring him home.
Building Friendships with Ariel and Ursula
Before you can even begin the rescue mission, you must invest significant time into developing your relationships with both Ariel and Ursula. The sea witch holds the ultimate key to his return, but she will not cooperate until you reach maximum friendship with her. Concurrently, you should also focus on leveling up Ariel through daily conversations and gifts to ensure all prerequisites are met.
Advancing these relationships requires patience since both characters are restricted to water bodies and cannot join you for traditional valley activities. Giving them their favorite items each day and tracking down rare gemstones will speed up the process considerably. Once Ursula reaches level ten, the final narrative thread will finally become available to activate.
Completing the Deal with Ursula Quest
Reaching the maximum bond level with the sea witch triggers her final companion mission, which initiates the direct exchange for the missing prince. Ursula demands that you locate several dark crystals hidden across the biomes to fulfill her supernatural contract. You must search the valley thoroughly, paying extra attention to the most dangerous areas you have unlocked.
After gathering the required crystals and bringing them back to her, she will hold up her end of the bargain by returning Eric. However, he does not instantly materialize in perfect health, as he initially appears in a weakened phantom state. This stage transitions the adventure into a collaborative effort to anchor him permanently to the physical world.
Welcoming Prince Eric to the Village
With the magical contract completed, you must collaborate with Merlin and Ariel to restore the prince to his proper form. You will need to construct his specialized castle within the valley to give him a designated home of his own. Building this structure requires spending a set amount of star coins at the Scrooge McDuck signpost.
Once the royal residence is fully built, you will discover a unique memento inside that helps restore his lost memories. Bringing this item to him will finalize his physical restoration and officially add him to your villager roster. From this point forward, you can assign him a companion role, hang out with him daily, and begin leveling up your friendship for exclusive rewards.
