Heartopia‘s second major season, “Dreamlight Cinematics,” has begun, running from March 21 until May 2. As usual with these six-week seasons, there are limited-time bugs, fish, flowers, birds, and food recipes to make to earn event currency. As you collect these items, you’ll unlock exclusive rewards, like furnishing recipes, and even limited-time Exhibition Passes.
Based on what we know from the last season, these exclusive collectibles will become completely unavailable once the event ends, so make sure you take the time to grab what you want now.
Below, we list all the available insects, fish, cooking recipes, ingredients, birds, and flowers in Heartopia‘s “Dreamlight Cinematics” season.
Update (March 30): We’ve updated this guide with the additional insect, fish, and the birds made available during week two of the event.
Heartopia ‘Dreamlight Cinematics’ insect locations
There are five insects total in this event season. These adorable bees can be found at any time in any weather and they’re all on the west side of the map, spread out among the flower field area. For the golden bee, you’ll need to participate in a Script Supervisor Bee Event, which you can start by talking to Naniwa near Whale Mountain. The bee will only show up in the third and final phase of the event.
Insect | Location |
|---|---|
Pink Script Supervisor Bumblebee | Flower Field (Windmill Flower Field) |
Red Script Supervisor Bumblebee | Flower Field (Whale Mountain) |
Green Script Supervisor Bumblebee | Flower Field (Amethyst Beach) |
Purple Script Supervisor Bumblebee | Flower Field (Windmill Flower Field) |
Golden Script Supervisor Bumblebee | Script Supervisor Bee Event (Phase 3 only) |
Heartopia ‘Dreamlight Cinematics’ fish locations
There are five fish in this season. Four of these octopi can be fished up in the Whale Sea (the ocean in the west), at any time of day in any weather:
- Directory Pygmy Octopus with Navy Hat
- Directory Pygmy Octopus with Brown Hat
- Directory Pygmy Octopus with Cyan Hat
- Directory Pygmy Octopus with Cinnamon Hat
- Director Pygmy Octopus with Patterned Hat (Octo Entertainment Event, Phase 2 only)
The fifth octopus is only available via the Octo Entertainment Event, which you can start by speaking to Vanya on the beach in the Windmill Flower Field. You’ll need to activate the second phase of the event in order to find this slippery octopus.
Heartopia ‘Dreamlight Cinematics’ cooking recipes and ingredients
There are 21 cooking recipes as part of the “Dreamlight Cinematics” season, and you can buy most of them from Massimo, with the others being “secret” versions you get by using specific fruit or herbs.
Notably, this season adds special foraging herbs that you can find around the map. You’ll need to pluck several of these to make all the recipes:
Herb | Appearance | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Burdock | Flower Field (Whale Mountain) | Yam? Twig? Nah, it’s burdock. | |
Mustard greens | Fishing Village (Lighthouse) | Looks green and harmless, but carries a sharp, pungent aroma. | |
Fiddlehead | Forest (Deer Tower) | The “King of Wild Greens.” Blancing in boiling water before cooking removes harmful substances. | |
Tall mustard | Onsen Mountain (Ruins) | Unrelated to garlic, yet it carries the pungent, spicy kick of both garlic and mustard greens. |

You can buy springday brown sugar and salsa sauce (50 gold each) from Massimo. Additionally, you’ll want to grow romaine lettuce to make the bulk of the food. You can buy romaine lettuce seeds from Blanc for 10 gold each, and they take 15 minutes to grow.
Once you have an inventory full of ingredients, you can make the plethora of recipes available as part of this season. You can only cook these during this season using the popcorn serving cart item.

Heartopia ‘Dreamlight Cinematics’ flower and flower breeding combinations
In addition to the items above, you can also plant dandelions for a limited time during this event. Dandelions come in a few colors, but you’ll need to water these flowers to get most of them.
You start off with red dandelions, yellow dandelions, and white dandelions, with the seeds being purchasable from Blanc for 30 gold each.
The way flowers in Heartopia work is actually based off of the rarity of the flower, rather than the color. However, each color corresponds to a rarity. For example, all red, yellow, and white dandelions are one-star and all pink dandelions are two-star. For the sake of clarity, we’re using colors to confirm our combinations below.
So far, we’ve been able to create the following:
- Red dandelion + white dandelion = pink dandelion
- Red dandelion + yellow dandelion = orange dandelion
- Pink dandelion + orange dandelion = peach dandelion and black dandelion
There may be multiple ways to crossbreed the flowers to get different colors, but we can confirm the above combinations worked for us. We’re still working out the rest, but the dandelions come in a plethora of other colors: purple, blue, and selene. We’ll update this guide with more crossbreeding combinations as we figure them out.
Heartopia ‘Dreamlight Cinematics’ bird locations
There are five event-exclusive birds, added to the event during the second week. You can find the birds in the following areas, regardless of time and weather:
Bird | Location |

Green Suit Dove | Forest (Jump Puzzle) |
Blue Suit Dove | Forest (Spirit-Oak Pine Forest) |
Gray Suit Dove | Forest (Deer Tower) |
Red Suit Dove | Forest (Forest Island) |
Striped Suit Dove | Actor Dove Event (Phase 2 only) |
The Striped Suit Dove is only available in the Actor Dove Event, which you can start by interacting with the bird feeder in the Jump Puzzle area. You’ll need to trigger the bonus second phase to find this bird.
