✨ The next journal entry will take you into the Sunlit Plateau exhibit, another room that was recently added to Olaf’s Grand Exhibition.
With its warm colours, rocky landscapes and unmistakable savanna-inspired atmosphere, Sunlit Plateau has always had a personality of its own. The Exhibition gave me a reason to visit the biome to bring together some of the resources and collectibles it had to offer - though I did a little planning for this one ahead of time, collecting a bit of everything each day before the update dropped to make completing the room a little easier and quicker.
In this guide, I’ll walk through each display, everything you’ll need to complete it, and the rewards waiting at the end.
What is Olaf’s Grand Exhibition?
(Click on any image to enlarge)
The Grand Exhibition is a special hub where you can display items collected throughout your Valley. Each biome has its own dedicated exhibit room, with displays built around different categories of items associated with that area.
As more rooms become available, the Exhibition continues to grow into a lovely collection of spaces that showcase the progress made throughout the Valley.
Sunlit Plateau Exhibit Overview
The Sunlit Plateau exhibit is made up of three displays: the Aquarium, Diorama and Habitat. Each display has two stages to complete, with the room gradually coming together as the required items are added.
Most stages are simple collections, while the Diorama displays require a little more gathering and preparation before everything can be completed.
🐟 Aquarium (Gems & Fish)
To complete the Aquarium:
Step 1: Collect all gems found in Sunlit Plateau
(Shiny Citrine, Citrine, Onyx, Shiny Tourmaline, Tourmaline)
Step 2: Collect all fish available in the biome
(Bass, Carp, Perch, Salmon, Tilapia, Walleye)
All required gems and fish are highlighted in the image above.
🌺 Diorama (Flowers & Blueprints)
The Diorama follows its own two-stage progression:
Step 1: Collect all flowers from Sunlit Plateau
(Orange Houseleek, Pink Houseleek, Pink Bromeliad, Red Bromeliad, Yellow Bromeliad)
Step 2: Complete four blueprint builds using gathered materials
(See image above for the full list)
The second stage requires a selection of gathered materials, so it’s worth checking the full list before getting started. By this point in the Exhibition rooms, I’ve become familiar with the process and what resources are generally needed, so there are no real surprises with each upcoming exhibit.
One resource I noticed was missing from this exhibit was Cotton, and I fully expected to see it pop up somewhere in these blueprints, given that it can be found in Sunlit Plateau. All required flowers and resources are highlighted in the image above.
🐦🔥 Habitat (Food & Companions)
To complete the Habitat:
Step 1: Collect all food items tied to Sunlit Plateau
(Chili Pepper, Cherry, Cocoa Bean, Vanilla, Soya, Zucchini)
Step 2: Unlock all sunbird companions from this biome
(Emerald Sunbird, Golden Sunbird, Orchid Sunbird, Red Sunbird, Turquoise Sunbird)
All required food and companions are highlighted in the image above. Before adding the sunbirds to the exhibit, make sure they’ve been unlocked in your collection.
🎁 Rewards
Each completed display comes with its own reward, with one final reward waiting once all three sections of the Sunlit Plateau exhibit have been completed.
Aquarium Reward: Sunlit Plateau Aquarium
Diorama Reward: Set of 4 Sunlit Plateau Dioramas
Habitat Reward: Sunlit Plateau Companion Home
Exhibit Room Completion Reward: Sunlit Plateau Robe
There’s something satisfying about seeing each Exhibition room gradually take shape, and I think Sunlit Plateau is a lovely addition to the collection. I really enjoyed putting this guide together, too. The warm, earthy feel of the biome comes through in the finished display, making it another room I’m happy to have tucked away inside the Grand Exhibition.
If you’re working through the other rooms too, you can also explore my Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, Forest of Valor, and Glade of Trust exhibition guides here for their full requirements and rewards.
I’ll continue adding Exhibition guides as more rooms become available, and I expect Frosted Heights to be added in the next few weeks! Thanks for stopping by and reading through, and I’ll catch you in the next entry.
