How to Get the Trident in DTI

What it is

"How to get the trident in DTI" is the search spike for unlocking the Trident of the Shells in Roblox Dress to Impress. It is not a Closet purchase. You earn it in Freeplay during the Summer 2026 Treasure Hunt update (Part 3, live around August 29, 2026) by finishing Scarlet Fierce's gem quests, opening Seashell Cove on the beach, and solving a three-seashell podium puzzle. Start in Freeplay Mode. Regular fashion rounds will not count. You need all five colored gems from mini-quests around the map: green from the hanging plant in the dressing room, red by turning the runway stage lights red, purple by returning the pink book from Lana's house to the classroom, blue by smashing Lana's piggy bank with the outdoor hammer and dropping the coin in the garden fountain, and yellow by lighting five beach lanterns. Guides from TechWiser and Roonby match this path to the same cave that older Scarlet Doll players already know. With every gem collected, the beach cave opens. Go through the bubble obby into Seashell Cove, then grab three hidden seashells: one beside a barrel near the shipwreck, one on the shipwreck deck, and one on top of an archway. Carry them to the three podiums at the top of the cave. When all three sit correctly, the wall opens on a secret room. Interact with the Trident of the Shells to unlock it as a Closet accessory. Roonby notes a Seashell Crown can also sit toward the back by an anchor if you do not already own it. Once unlocked, the trident has five color slots (trident, trident gradient, seashells, seashells gradient, pearls) so it works for mermaid, fantasy, and ocean themes. Creators on TikTok and YouTube Shorts are posting full gem routes and short "claim the trident" cuts with titles that match the CSI phrase almost word for word. That is why the search is peaking now: the item dropped with Part 3, and players who missed the older Seashell Crown quest are treating this as the new must-have prop. If the cave stays locked, you are missing a gem or you left Freeplay. Event-locked rewards can stay unavailable after the hunt window closes, so finish the route while Summer 2026 Part 3 is still live.

How to unlock it

1. 1

   Teleport to Freeplay Mode. Complete all five gem mini-quests: dressing-room hanging plant (green), runway lights all red (red), pink book from Lana's house to the classroom shelf (purple), hammer + piggy bank coin into the garden fountain (blue), and all five beach lanterns lit (yellow).

2. 2

   With five gems, enter the beach cave, clear the bubble obby, and find the three Seashell Cove shells (barrel by the shipwreck, shipwreck deck, top of the archway). Place each shell on a podium until the wall opens, then claim the Trident of the Shells in the secret room.

3. 3

   Film angle: screen-record the podium wall opening and the claim animation, or cut a 30 to 60s "gem route speedrun" with on-screen labels. Outfit angle: pair the trident with mermaid or fantasy fits and show the five color slots.

Common questions

What is the trident in DTI?

The Trident of the Shells is a locked Closet accessory from Dress to Impress Summer 2026 Part 3 (Treasure Hunt). You unlock it in Freeplay, not by buying it in the dressing room.

How do you get the Trident of the Shells?

Collect all five Freeplay gems, enter Seashell Cove on the beach, find three seashells (shipwreck barrel, shipwreck deck, archway), place them on the podiums, then claim the trident in the revealed room.

When did the DTI trident drop?

It arrived around August 29, 2026 with Summer 2026: Part 3, also called the Treasure Hunt update, tied to Scarlet Fierce's hunt.

Can you still get the trident after the event?

Guides list it as a locked event reward. If you miss the hunt window, it may stay unavailable in the normal Closet, so finish Freeplay while Part 3 is active.

Is this the same as the Seashell Crown?

No. The Seashell Crown was an earlier summer shell hunt. The trident is the new Part 3 reward, though some players can also grab a Crown from the same secret room if they never unlocked it.
