If you’re looking for a way to collect Ascended Candles in Sky: Children of the Light, don’t ignore Shard events. These events can reward you with 2 Ascended Candles when you successfully complete the required activities.
The good news is that finding a Shard event doesn’t have to be difficult. You can first check the gate or entrance of an area to see whether a Shard event is active.

How to Know When a Shard Is Active
When a Shard event appears, check the gate leading to the area.
The gate can give you an indication that a Shard event is happening in that realm. Once you identify the area, travel through the gate and explore the map.
Look for the location where red Shards or meteor-like fragments are falling from the sky.

That’s where you’ll find the Shard event.
Find the Falling Shards
After entering the correct area, travel around the map and look for the distinctive red Shard activity.

You’ll usually notice:
- Red Shards falling from the sky
- Corrupted plants covering the area
- A dangerous-looking area around the Shard
- Activities that need to be completed before you can claim the reward
Once you find the event area, it’s time to start clearing the corruption.
Burn the Corrupted Plants
One of the main activities during a Shard event is burning the corrupted plants.

Use your candle to burn the plants and help clear the area. Depending on the event, you may need to complete additional activities after clearing the corruption.

Don’t leave immediately after burning the plants. Make sure you complete the activities associated with the Shard event.
Get 2 Ascended Candles
After successfully completing the Shard event and its activities, you can receive Ascended Candle rewards.

For players who are saving Ascended Candles for unlocking upgrades, this can be a valuable activity to add to your regular Sky routine.
