Sky World Light Beginner’s Guide

Beginner’s Guide to Sky: Children of the Light

Welcome to Sky! This guide introduces the basics of exploring the Kingdom, helping spirits, collecting light, making friends, and growing your cape. Take your time—Sky is designed to be explored at your own pace.

1. What is Sky?

Sky: Children of the Light is a social adventure game about exploration, cooperation, and helping lost spirits. You play as a Child of the Light, travelling through beautiful realms, discovering stories, and meeting other players.

2. Learn the Basic Controls

  • Move: Use your device’s movement controls to walk, run, and explore.
  • Jump and fly: Jump to take off, then use the flight controls to glide or gain height.
  • Call: Use your character’s call to communicate, reveal nearby points of interest, and interact with the world.
  • Interact: Approach glowing objects, spirits, doors, and other characters and follow the on-screen prompts.

Flight consumes wing energy. Look for light sources, candles, lanterns, butterflies, and helpful players to recharge.

3. Collect Winged Light and Upgrade Your Cape

Winged Light appears as glowing golden children throughout the realms. Find them and collect them to increase your cape’s wing power. More wing power helps you fly longer and reach higher places.

Explore carefully: some Winged Light is hidden behind obstacles, inside caves, or along less obvious routes. If you lose Winged Light during a dangerous journey, you can find it again in the world.

4. Meet Spirits and Unlock Their Memories

Spirits are found throughout the realms. Follow a spirit’s memory sequence to relive its story. Once you have completed the memory, visit the spirit in a social space or its constellation to explore available expressions, cosmetics, and other unlocks.

Some spirit rewards require different currencies or progression. Check the in-game tree before spending your resources.

5. Understand the Main Currencies

  • Regular Candles: Earn light by collecting wax and lighting candles. They are used for many spirit and friendship unlocks.
  • Hearts: A social currency that can be exchanged with friends and used for certain rewards.
  • Seasonal Candles: Available during a season and used in that season’s progression and reward trees. Check the current in-game season for its rules and end date.
  • Ascended Candles: Earned through the game’s endgame progression and used for specific permanent upgrades.

Currency availability and reward costs can change with updates and events. Always check the current in-game menus for exact costs.

6. Explore the Realms in Order

Sky’s main journey takes you through a series of realms, each with its own atmosphere, spirits, Winged Light, and challenges. Follow the guiding light and the game’s prompts when you are unsure where to go. Revisit earlier areas whenever you want to collect missed light or explore with friends.

7. Complete Daily Quests

Daily Quests give you small objectives to complete during your adventures. Check the quest board or the current quest interface, read each objective, and follow its instructions. Quest rewards and locations may vary, so use the in-game quest list as the source of truth.

8. Make Friends and Play Together

You can meet other players in shared spaces. To build a friendship, offer a candle when the game allows it, then gradually unlock ways to communicate and cooperate. You can hold hands, explore together, recharge one another, and help with difficult areas.

  • Be kind and respectful to other players.
  • Never share passwords, personal information, or account access.
  • Only accept trades or arrangements that follow the game’s official rules.
  • Remember that some communication features unlock gradually through friendship.

9. Prepare Before Visiting Eye of Eden

Eye of Eden is a challenging part of the journey. Before entering, consider exploring the other realms, collecting as much Winged Light as you can, and learning how to manage your flight and movement. The area has hazards and a special progression loop, so do not worry if your first visit feels difficult.

Read the in-game prompts and take your time. You can return to the rest of the Kingdom after completing the journey.

10. Beginner Tips

  • Explore slowly and look above, below, and behind structures for hidden paths.
  • Light every candle cluster you encounter to collect wax.
  • Follow spirit memories to learn about the Kingdom and unlock rewards.
  • Use calls to find nearby players, creatures, and points of interest.
  • Save currencies for rewards you genuinely want.
  • Play with friends when you need help reaching difficult places.
  • Check official announcements and in-game notices for current events and changes.
