Seasonal Spirits Guide
Seasonal Spirits are Ancestor Spirits introduced through Seasons and seasonal content in Sky: Children of the Light. Their memories and collectibles add stories, Expressions, cosmetics, and other rewards beyond the base-game Regular Spirits.
Current-Season and Past-Season Spirits
Current-Season Spirits belong to the active Season. Their Friendship Trees are available during that Season and use Seasonal Candles for seasonal unlocks. Past-Season Spirits are from Seasons that have ended. Their memories may be available to relive after meeting the game’s progression requirements, but their full item trees are generally not permanently open.
How to Find Seasonal Spirits
Explore the Realms and follow the seasonal content route. Current-Season Spirits become accessible as you unlock the Season’s content. Past-Season Spirits have additional progression requirements; the official support guidance says players need to complete the core story loop by finishing Eye of Eden to access this feature. Some Daily Quests or another player’s activated memory can temporarily make a Spirit visible.
Seasonal Spirit Friendship Trees
During the original Season, a Spirit’s seasonal tree can offer cosmetics, Expression upgrades, blessings, and a Seasonal Heart. Some nodes may be Season Pass-exclusive during the Season. When the Season ends, the seasonal trees close. Certain items may become obtainable later when a Spirit returns, but past Season Guides’ Ultimate Gifts are a separate category and should not be assumed to return with a Spirit.
How to Obtain Past-Season Items
- Relive the Spirit’s memory when it is available to learn its base Expression.
- Watch for that Spirit’s Traveling Spirit or a special Returning Spirits visit.
- During the visit, open its Friendship Tree and review the available items and costs.
- Remember that previously owned items and Wing Buffs may already appear as unlocked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Seasonal Spirits remain in Sky after their Season?
Yes. Their memories and return opportunities can remain part of the game, although their full Friendship Trees are not continuously available.
Can I buy every past-season cosmetic whenever I want?
No. Many past-season collectibles require the Spirit to return as a Traveling Spirit or during a special visit.
Are Ultimate Gifts the same as Spirit cosmetics?
No. Ultimate Gifts are obtained from the Season Guide using Seasonal Hearts during the Season. They are distinct from the items offered by individual Seasonal Spirits.
