Updated August 2nd, 2021 by Marie Pritchard: Thank you to the eager reader that pointed out we had missed a Winged Light! It’s extremely easy to miss a collectible in a game as vast as Sky. Head to the bottom of the article to see the one we missed out on and potentially the one you did too, it’s easy to reach with the right amount of power but hard to see initially.
Winged Light One
Go to the cave where you find your first Spirit of Daylight Prairie. Stay outside the cave and walk around to one of the sides of it. Jump up until you can reach the top of it. The Winged Light will be up there. TIP: If you’re struggling to jump up here, you may need to go and collect other Winged Lights then come back to this point.
Winged Light Two
Head back up the path to where you started in Daylight Prairie. Face the direction you would walk towards the cave and on your left there will be a mound with an opening in it. The Winged Spirit will be in here. Important: You will need to have rescued 1 Spirit from this Realm to be able to get through the door to get to the Winged Light.
Winged Light Three
Follow the path through the cave where you find the first spirit of this realm. It will take you out of the cave and towards another ledge. The Winged Light will be standing there. Head up to them and press Y to interact with them.
Winged Light Four
When you get to the area with multiple Islands (after you jump off of the ledge outside the cave), head to the Island on your left. When you land here there will be a set of tall stone doors. This is a puzzle that requires 2 people to solve. This is where it comes in useful to play with a friend. Both of you need to light the diamonds on either side of the doors to open them. Once open, you will see a Spirit in front of you. Before interacting with the Spirit, walk up to them and turn to your right. The Winged Light will be standing there in the darkness.
Winged Light Five
This Winged Light is on the middle island where you find the Waving Bellmaker. Instead of following the path up to the Bell Tower on this Island, head around to the rear of the Island and you should see a platform resembling a pier. This means you’re heading the right way. Go a little bit further around the corner and you will see the Winged Light standing there.
Winged Light Six
You now need to go to the small island in the center of this area (there are no towers on this one). The Winged Light will be standing in the middle of the island, so they aren’t too hard to spot!
Winged Light Seven
You now need to go back to get the rest of the Lights in this Realm. If you do not have the power to fly back to where you entered this area then you can go back to your Home. Click X to open the menu and choose the home option. From here, do not go to the Return Shrine. Instead, you can go through the Daylight Prairie portal and it will spit you out back at the start. None of your progress will be lost. When you have made your way back here, head back to where you started this Realm (it will be easier to see where you need to go from here). From this point, look towards the Cave but then look left to the wall of clouds. You need to look for the opening in the clouds.
This will take you to another area of this Realm where you can find another Spirit as well as Winged Lights. You will need to have rescued 4 Spirits from this Realm to be able to go into this area. When you are in here, walk up to the ledge and jump off. You will then be transported to the next area of floating islands. When you’re here, run up the steps to your right and jump off. Fly towards the island directly in front of you.
After landing on the next island, make your way up towards the broken tower. There is a land bridge that connects the island you are on to the island with the tower.
When you are over here, walk around the side of the tower until you see a set of red candles near the edge. Walk over to them.
This may sound odd but you need to run and jump off of the edge now. Once you have jumped off, you will see another floating island below you. Aim to land on this (do not worry if you miss, you will get lifted back up again). Once you land on here, you will see the Winged Light.
Winged Light Eight
If you are on the small island, jump off whilst pressing and holding B. You will get a boost back up to the island with the broken tower. From here, head to the whole tower near the broken one and stand on the ledge near it. You should see a floating island in the distance with a glowing figure on it. Jump off and fly across to it. When you’re here, all you need to do is press Y to interact with the Winged Light and you will get your upgrade!
Winged Light Nine
You need to go back to the area where you started Daylight Prairie and where you found your first Spirit in the Realm. Head as though you are going to the cave again, but you need to look left of the cave for a gap between the two cliffs. Walk towards this and there should be a magic gate blocking your path. To get into here you will need 2 Spirits from Isle Of Dawn and 3 Spirits from Daylight Prairie. If you have them, then you can head through and follow the path to the next area. When you are there, you need to fly into the large cave opening. Stand at the opening of the cave and there will be a staircase to your right. Climb up (but do not use up your flight charge, you will need this in a moment).
Follow the staircase up and into a small room filled with jars. This room will look directly across the cave to a circle in the wall. Press and hold B to jump and fly across to there. This may take a few attempts as it’s a bit fiddly to get right. Once you land inside of that hole, you will see the Winged Light straight away.
Winged Light Ten
Stand at the big entrance to the cave and look into the cave. Directly opposite you, there should be a large set of steps at the rear of the cave. You need to head over to these and climb them (do not use your flight charge here - you will need all of it in a moment). After climbing the steps, slowly walk a few steps along the dark corridor. Keep looking up and to your right. A short way into the corridor you should see an opening in the rock.
Be careful: it’s easy to miss this so pay close attention. Jump up and use your flight boost to reach this area. When you get up there, the Winged Light will be waiting for you.
Winged Light Eleven - 8 Person Puzzle
Important: You will need to complete the 8 person puzzle behind the Laughing Light Catcher Spirit to be able to get to this point. When you have completed the 8 person puzzle, you will rise to a new area. On either side of the area, there are large trees. You need to look to see which tree has the opening on its side, the Winged Light will be in there. You then need to climb up to the base of the tree (you may need to fly a bit). When you are here, give yourself a chance to re-charge. Once your flight is charged, you can fly up to the opening in the tree to get the Winged Light. This one is definitely a test of how skillful you are at flying.
Winged Light Twelve
Missing Winged Light number twelve is easier than you think. The excitement and joy of reaching the end of the Realm mixed with the bright surroundings can make this one semi-invisible if you’re not looking closely. When you get to the Temple from riding a Creature Of Light, you need to stop straight away. Do not go into the Temple, do not move once you are off of the Creature. Instead, you need to use the R stick to look up and you should see a faint glowing figure standing on top of the entrance to the Temple. Be warned: if you are standing at certain angles. the figure will be impossible to spot. Once you’ve seen them, you simply need to fly up there to get it. If you’ve collected the other Winged Lights in Daylight Prairie then this shouldn’t be a problem.
Winged Light Thirteen
This Winged Light can be easy to miss as it’s tricky to see from the ground. If you’re standing at the point where you collected Winged Light Twelve, then all you need to do is face inwards towards the higher parts of the roof of the Temple and keep boosting yourself up. If your Cape isn’t strong enough you can either use the clouds surrounding them to charge up or you can return to this at a later point. All you need to do to get your upgrade is to land next to it and interact with it by pressing Y to get your upgrade. NEXT: Sky: Children of Light Coming To Nintendo Switch This June As Free-To-Start
