Your First Steps (Isle of Dawn)
-
Follow the light. The glowing trails teach movement, flying, and lighting candles.
-
Grab your first Winged Light. This adds an energy “pip” to your cape so you can flap and glide longer.
-
Light shrines to open paths. Interacting with candles and shrines is how you progress everywhere.
-
Finish the isle → go Home. After the tutorial, you’ll arrive at Home, your main hub.
Next: You can unlock season when you are first reborn from the light.
The screen blooms from darkness to a single spark—your first candle. A soft choir rises as the wind brushes a quiet village of stone and lanterns. You take a step and light flickers to life around you, revealing carved shrines and a sky scattered with constellations. A gentle guide gestures forward, and the air itself seems to show the way. You pass through a portal and the world opens: cliffs above a calm sea, feathers of light drifting on the breeze. You learn to move, to glide, to share your flame. A tiny wing of light settles on your cape—your first strength. Ahead, memories wait to be rekindled, friends to be found, and seven realms of sky to explore.
- You start in Aviary Village (new-player intro) As of Patch 0.23.5, new accounts begin in Aviary Village, a larger tutorial hub. You’ll meet the Revival Guide (Hopeful Steward) and are pushed to start the third Season of Revival quest to unlock the Map Shrine and activate realm portals. From there, you can continue to the tutorial realm.
- Tutorial on Isle of DawnThe tutorial teaches movement, lighting candles, and basic flight. Isle of Dawn is designed as the main tutorial area.
- Collect your first Winged Light – Picking up Winged Light upgrades your cape’s energy (more flight power). You’ll keep collecting these across the game.
- Meet a required Spirit to progress – You don’t need most Spirits to move through realms, but one Spirit is required in the tutorial: the Pointing Candlemaker on Isle of Dawn. Completing that memory lets you move on.
- Home / Hub unlocks – After the tutorial you use the hub (classic Home or the newer Aviary Village hub). Hubs have realm portals, a Return Shrine, Outfit Shrine, and access to your Constellations. (Since 0.23.5, new players start in Aviary; later you can set where you spawn—Home or Aviary—using a special white candle once you’ve progressed the Revival quests.)
- Constellations & the Constellation Table – The Constellations show realm progress and are the main way to access Spirits’ Friendship Trees. The Constellation Table (stone at the hub) lets you manage friends, send/receive hearts, and purchase Spirit cosmetics; it appears after fully completing Isle of Dawn.
As you take those first steps, Sky teaches by showing, not rushing—glints of light mark the path, candles bloom to open doors, and a Spirit’s memory gently becomes your first quest. There’s no timer and no fail state; every Winged Light you collect simply makes your cape stronger. You can wander alone, or hold a friend’s hand and move as one. When in doubt, look up: the constellations in the sky—and the lanterns along the ground—always point you toward the next warm place to share your flame.
