To unlock the legendary Jack Skellington in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you must complete the Something Comes A’Knocking quest, but first, you’ll need to locate the Matryoshka dolls.
While quests in Disney Dreamlight Valley often offer guidance or involve puzzles, the Something Comes A’Knocking quest stands out for its unique challenge. It requires players to unravel the next steps on their own, making it one of the most demanding quests in the game.
To help you solve this mysterious quest and add Jack Skellington to your Valley, this guide will break down how to complete the Something Comes A’Knocking quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
How to do Something Comes A’Knocking in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Find a Matryoshka doll
To start the Something Comes A’Knocking quest, you’ll first need to find a Matryoshka doll. We found ours in the Plaza and another in the Peaceful Meadow, but they appear to spawn randomly.
Once you find one, the quest will begin and you’ll need to speak to Merlin. He’ll explain that it’s likely that someone’s trying to come to the Valley but is having a little trouble manifesting.
Investigate the odd tree in the Forgotten Lands
After chatting to Merlin, you’ll need to head to the Forgotten Lands to ‘survey’ for any anomalies. Once in there, you’ll likely find a large brown tree with a pumpkin carved in the bark, which many will recognize from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Interact with it and it’ll highlight that you need to place something inside the tree. If you have a Matryoshka doll in your inventory, it will be lit up, so place that in there. Now, it’ll look like nothing has happened initially, but you may notice the carving slowly regain color.

Find all four Matryoshka dolls
All you need to do now is find all four Matryoshka dolls – Big, Medium, Small, and Tiny – and place them in the tree.
Again, they appear randomly, but we recommend looking in the Plaza and Peaceful Meadow, as that’s where most seem to be appearing. However, we found our last doll in the Glade of Trust.
Speak to Jack Skellington
Once you’ve put all four dolls into the tree, you’ll unlock Jack Skellington. Then, all you need to do is speak to him and place his house down to fully welcome him to the Valley.
Building his home only costs 5,000 Star Coins, so most should be able to build it with ease. With that, the quest is complete.
That’s everything you need to know about completing the Something Comes A’Knocking quest! For more on Disney Dreamlight Valley, be sure to check out our guides on every character and how to unlock them, all active codes for free items, and every recipe in the game.
