✨Two additional Exhibition rooms were added to Olaf's Grand Exhibition with the Season of Scares update, and today’s journal entry will cover the Forgotten Lands Exhibit.
Of all the Exhibition rooms added so far, I think this one might be my favourite. There’s something about the combination of Forgotten Lands resources and the finished displays that makes this room feel particularly fitting for the biome.
And, of course, the rewards definitely helped make this one stand out for me. I absolutely love the Forgotten Lands Companion Home, but the Night Thorn Coat was probably the biggest surprise. It’s not often that wardrobe reward gives me something I can actually wear, so I was very happy to see a new item I could use waiting at the end of this one.
In this guide, I’ll walk through each display, everything you’ll need to complete the Forgotten Lands exhibit, and the rewards you’ll earn for completing each display.
What is Olaf’s Grand Exhibition?
(Click on any image to enlarge)
The Grand Exhibition is a special museum-style building where you can display items collected throughout the Valley. Each biome has its own dedicated exhibit room, with displays built around different categories of resources, collectibles and companions associated with that area.
The Exhibition has gradually grown with each update, and with the addition of the Forgotten Lands and Plaza rooms in Season of Scares, the collection is now almost complete.
Forgotten Lands Exhibit Overview
The Forgotten Lands exhibit follows the familiar three-part structure: Aquarium, Diorama and Habitat.
Each section has two stages to complete, gradually bringing the room together as you add the required items. The Aquarium focuses on gems and fish, the Diorama combines flowers with several blueprint builds, and the Habitat brings together food and the Ravens found throughout the biome.
I found this room particularly satisfying to complete, especially seeing all of the darker Forgotten Lands elements come together in one space. It really does feel like the Exhibition saved one of the more atmospheric rooms for later.
🐟 Aquarium (Gems & Fish)
To complete the Aquarium:
Step 1: Collect all gems found in the Forgotten Lands
(Shiny Amethyst, Amethyst, Onyx, Shiny Diamond, Diamond)
Step 2: Collect all fish available in the biome
(Anglerfish, Cod, Lancetfish, Sole, Tuna, Squid)
All required gems and fish are highlighted in the image above.
🌺 Diorama (Flowers & Blueprints)
The Diorama follows the same two-stage format, although this section requires a little more preparation:
Step 1: Collect all flowers from the Forgotten Lands
(Orange Nasturtium, Red Nasturtium, Yellow Nasturtium,
Purple Impatiens, White Impatiens)
Purple Impatiens, White Impatiens)
Step 2: Complete four blueprint builds using gathered materials
(See image above for the full list)
The four builds require a mixture of resources unique from the Forgotten Lands, so it’s worth checking the full list before getting started. Some of the materials are a little more specialised, particularly the Dark Wood, Crystal and Purified Night Shards needed across the builds. All items you need to finish the blueprints are listed in the image above.
Once everything is completed, the Diorama rewards you with four Forgotten Lands-themed diorama displays, titled Jack Skellington, Fairy Godmother, Flames and Tree House.
🐦⬛ Habitat (Food & Companions)
To complete the Habitat:
Step 1: Collect all food items tied to the Forgotten Lands
(Apple, Gooseberry, Ginger, Leek, Potato, Pumpkin)
Step 2: Unlock all Raven companions from this biome
(Blue Raven, Brown Raven, Classic Raven, Red Raven, White Raven)
All required food and companions are also highlighted in the image above. Before adding the Ravens to the exhibit, you'll need to make sure they’ve been unlocked and added to your collection by feeding them their favourite food.
The Forgotten Lands Companion Home is also the reward for completing this section - and this one is my favourite companion house from the Exhibition rooms so far. I really love the darker theming and the way the lighting works with it, and I can see myself finding a spot for it somewhere in the Valley sooner rather than later.
🎁 Rewards
Each completed section of the Forgotten Lands exhibit comes with its own reward, with an additional bonus waiting once the entire room has been completed.
Aquarium Reward: Forgotten Lands Aquarium
Diorama Reward: Set of 4 Forgotten Lands Dioramas
Habitat Reward: Forgotten Lands Companion Home
Exhibit Room Completion Reward: Night Thorn Coat
The Night Thorn Coat was probably my favourite surprise from this room. I’ve really enjoyed seeing the final reward for each room become more varied as the rooms have been added, and having a wardrobe item here that I can use was a great reward to finish on. Something I can actually wear always gets extra points from me.
After working through all of these rooms, it’s been really nice seeing how each biome has its own little collection tucked away inside the Exhibition. With the final two rooms now available, the Exhibition is finally nearing the end of its Valley collection, and with only the Plaza Exhibition left to complete, I’m really looking forward to seeing the full collection come together. I’m hoping to have that final guide finished within the next week or so.
If you’re still working through the other rooms, you can also browse my Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, Forest of Valor, Glade of Trust, Sunlit Plateau and Frosted Heights Exhibition guides here for their full requirements and rewards.
Thanks for stopping by and reading through another Cozy Valley Journal entry, and I’ll catch you in the next one.
