How to open the farmhouse in Dreaming Isles

In Dreaming Isles, you’re a hapless sailor who’s washed ashore on a desolate island, and it’s up to you to turn it into a respectable farm. The good news is there’s a farmhouse nearby. The bad news is that it’s locked. Here’s how to open the farmhouse in Dreaming Isles.

How to rebuild the bridge in Dreaming Isles

One of the first things you’ll notice after you’ve picked yourself up out of the sand and explored a bit is the splintered bridge to the left of the farmhouse. For now, this is your only way off the island, so you’ll want to get that fixed as soon as possible. Interacting with the bridge reveals you need ten pieces of wood to fix it.

Luckily, plenty of trees are growing on the island, and its previous owner was kind enough to leave you a tool to get them down for lumber. Head up north until you find the chest sitting under the gigantic tree. Hover your cursor over the chest and click the right mouse button to open it. You’ll find an axe inside. Click on it to move it into your inventory.

Once you’ve got the axe, equip it by clicking on the axe icon in your hot bar or clicking the 1-0 key on your keyboard, whichever works for you. Head to the nearest tree and click on it with the right mouse key to hack away. It should fall after a few swings, dropping 3-5 pieces of lumber. Once you’ve got 1o pieces, head back to the bridge and click the gap to repair it.

How to find the farmhouse key in Dreaming Isles

Now that you’ve fixed the bridge, head to the island to your left. This is the lucky little patch of land that will become your farm. Walk to the upper-left-most area of the island. You’ll find an ominous-looking angel statue with a less-ominous silver key at its feet. Guess what it unlocks!

Once you’re back on the main island with the key, click on the farmhouse door to unlock it. Now, you’ve got a roof over your head, a bed to lie down in, and access to a crafting table, kitchen, and an underground tunnel you can use to explore the rest of the island and start building the pirate life you’ve always dreamed of.
