Eye of Eden Spoiler AlertThis article/section contains spoilers for in-game surprises, secrets, or storyline details, such as the end of the game. Please continue with caution if you are new to Sky: Children of the Light. Eye of EdenWhile spoilers have been hidden, it is highly recommended to play through Eye of Eden at least once before reading this page as it will completely spoil the end of the game.

It features many dangers (namely rock rain, Dark Dragons, and polluted water) that can remove the player's Winged Light. Eye of Eden shows the most signs of ruin and destruction of any Realm. Eye of Eden used to come with a warning, and TGC has tried very hard to encourage (even mandate) that multiple players are needed in order to navigate and complete this Realm. Indeed, multiple players can be beneficial, and veteran players can definitely help new players. Friends help to keep your Cape charged and can also provide encouragement along the way. If you have Warp open with friends, it can be utilized very effectively throughout the difficult portions of the Eye of Eden. Stronger or more experienced players can also help newer players (with less Cape Power) through the Eye of Eden in this way. But unlike previous versions of this final Realm of the game, each player does have to do the hardest work themselves, and be prepared to sacrifice everything. See the bottom of the page for a video guide. The original name for this Realm was Storm, and is often still referred to as such. Next to Isle of Dawn, Eye of Eden has been the most changed and expanded Realm of the game. It can be broken into three distinct sections. Contents 1 Entering Eye of Eden 2 Section 1: Wind and Rocks 3 Section 2: Dark Dragons and the Battlefield 4 Section 3: Statues and Winged Light 4.1 June 2022 Changes 4.2 Sacrifice 5 Ascent and Orbit 6 Ascended Candles and Wing Buffs 7 Ultimate Gifts 8 Eden Lock and Timed Reset 9 Video Walkthrough 10 Other Resources 11 Map 12 Trivia Entering Eye of Eden: The Gate leading into Eye of Eden is different from all other Gates. Instead of indicating Ancestor Spirits, this one mandates a certain number of Winged Light. You can enter the Eye of Eden only after you have completed all the previous Realms (watched the Elder cutscenes) and collected at least 20 Winged Light. However, much like the Spirit Gates, the winged light requirement can be bypassed by holding hands with a friend who has met it, although this is not recommended. Note: The 20 Winged Light will not be used for flight, but for sacrifice. Players who successfully bring large amounts (>63) of Winged Light through Eden will be handsomely rewarded with ascended candles. Multiple players are no longer required to open the door to Eden. There are still five buttons to light, but they can be lit by a single person. That said, having a group of friends together in the final area (section 3 below) can help you all to maximize the rewards you receive in Orbit. Section 1: Wind and Rocks: Eagle eye's view, be cautious while flying in Eden A map of Eden, made by Ezpz2020 This is the most recently added section of the Realm, and adds a scenic (if windy) trek up the mountain before entering the familiar hallway that leads to the older version of Eden. This is the safest and easiest part of the Realm, and gives you an idea of some of the strategy that will be used later on. It is always advised to play with sound on in Eden, as it will give players specific cues. There are several shortcuts to take here, though one of them is only possible for truly accomplished fliers. Shortcut 1: Go down to the floor of the first area, above which the rocks will be flying. By crossing over to the other side, players will find a climbable ledge. If ascended, players will find themselves past the streaming rocks – almost at the first lantern. See the "Suggested Route" Map under Other Resources below. Shortcut 2 (five Wedges minimum): Truly daring players can use the powerful wind to fly directly up towards the entrance into the next section, where a Child of Light is standing. This is done by first activating open-winged flight at takeoff, flying against the wind in a diagonal manner, and letting the wind push the avatar back to land at the target location. However, this shortcut takes a huge amount of practice to master even for very experienced players. There are guide videos to find on Youtube. Section 2: Dark Dragons and the Battlefield: Eagle eye's view of the path to the hallwayEntryway into Section 2 This part of the Realm adds more challenge in the form of Dark Dragons (Krill) who patrol the pathway. Between wind and flying rocks, you will have to listen and time your moves wisely. These first two sections are where an ability like Warp can be very useful between friends, especially if a veteran player wants to help a newer player with less cape power or skill. This second section is broken into two parts. The lower section is patrolled by two Dark Dragons and can be a bit of a puzzle to navigate. When at the stairs depicted in the map to the right, players may fly without being blown back. Past the two first Dark Dragons, there is a large circular cave with Dark Crabs that may harm you while recharging your light. The upper section is a battlefield, with frozen soldiers, trenches, and fortifications. There is also a Dark Dragon who patrols the very top of the hill before the last hallway. A suggested route can be found at the bottom of the page under Other Resources. WARNING: Once you pass through the transition at the end of the Hallway, you are in Storm Lock. This means that you must finish Eye of Eden before you will be able to enter any other Realm again. If you manually close the app, you will find yourself in Home Space with dark and inaccessible portals – you have crossed the point of no return. More information can be found below. Section 3: Statues and Winged Light:  “ Return the light of the fallen ” –Eye of Eden's second opening In this section, rocky rain does not let up. You run through the area finding Statues at which you deposit your Winged Light. The Statues are in the form of Sky Kids shrouded in Darkness. By depositing your Winged Light with them, you are, in essence, saving them while causing yourself to grow weaker. The more Winged Light you bring into this section, the more frozen Sky Kids you can reach before running out – the more you are rewarded later. As you carefully navigate Zone 1 on the map seen on the right side of the page, listen closely to the audio cues. The red rain will have a sound of crystals shattering, which signifies that it is not safe to move. When entering the continuous red rain: avoid jumping (as it will knock you down) and use the deep call feature to help friends hang onto their Winged Light just a while longer. June 2022 Changes: Patch 0.18.0 made multiple changes that affect the statue section of the Eye of Eden. There are three main changes: The new damage system makes you crawl after taking enough damage to extinguish your flame. In the red rain. you cannot recover unless you reach an already-lit shrine or a friend relights your flame. This means that the only way to reach the last dozen or more statues is by crawling. There are four new shrines in the second half of the map, each placed in a semi-sheltered location. There are also generally more large rocks and possibly protected spots. Several statues (maybe as many as a dozen) have been relocated. However, the total number of statues is still 63. The overall effect is to make it theoretically possible, with enough patience and/or luck, to reach more statues without taking any damage -- 50+ statues are within range of shrines now instead of 33. However, if you make a single mistake you can rapidly lose 20+ wings while you painfully crawl to the nearest lit shrine. You have to crawl to reach the last dozen statues, and the number of wings lost while reaching these statues is much larger. While crawling, you will want to travel on dry land instead of through polluted water as much as possible. Sacrifice: You will lose all your winged light in Eye of Eden. This is part of the process. As you deposit Winged Light at each Statue, your Cape Power will decrease. However, the more Winged Light you deposit, the more rewards you will receive. Each Statue you free will grant you approximately 0.25 of an ascended candle. You can use these rewards to unlock Wing Buffs in Spirit Shops (including Travelling Spirits), and eventually increase the starting number of Cape Wedges in your meter. The next time you die, your Wing Buffs you will give you extra winged lights. Unlike in previous versions of Eye of Eden, there is no surviving. There is only one outcome. The goal is to deposit as many Winged Light as you can before you lose all of your power and die. There is a known glitch in which a player deposits their winged light, dies, then respawns next to the point of no return. Simply keep trudging toward a light column to stop the loop of respawning. Ascent and Orbit: The after-Storm sequence has been newly added, and takes you through a flight on the way to Orbit. Beforehand, you will encounter many Light Creatures, including Mantas, a Whale, various birds, Jellyfish, and large variants of said Jellyfish. While flying towards Orbit, you may fly next to the floating Spirits and receive 5 Pieces of Light per spirit for your efforts. The same applies to the chains of flying sky-kids which appear afterwards. These chains are meant to be your friends. In Orbit you formally return the Winged Light that you deposited in Eye of Eden. You are then rewarded with Ascended Candles. In Orbit you will also acquire (or re-acquire) any Wing Buffs you have previously purchased from Ancestor Spirits. It is recommended to purchase wing buffs before leaving Orbit as you will immediately receive them before being reborn. Ascended Candles and Wing Buffs:  The Wing Buff as it appears in the Spirit Shops- Bowing Medalist Ascended Candles are the reward for completing the Eye of Eden. There are a total of 63 Statues to visit, which give players 0.25 Ascended Candles each (total 15.75). With Ascended Candles, you can: Unlock the ability to purchase more cosmetics. Purchasing the Wing Buff from a Regular Spirit Map and Traveling Spirit Map will remove the shroud of clouds that hides the uppermost cosmetics in the Map. Lock in Wing Power. The Wing Buffs purchased with these Candles will cause players to be reborn with more Winged Light. Specifically, players will be reborn with one more Winged Light per Wing Buff purchased. If every regular Spirit is "ascended", it is possible to be reborn with 47 Winged Light. Note: If you purchase wing buffs from the Spirits while still in Orbit, those wing buffs will be given to you before you are reborn. If you purchase them after you have returned to Home Space, you will receive the Wing Buffs after your next trip through Eden. Unlock the ability to exchange advanced Friendship Actions with a friend, including Warp. Warp costs ten additional Ascended Candles, while the other high level actions cost regular candles. Ultimate Gifts: Ultimate Gifts are the special rewards that are unlocked after completing a Constellation. In the case of the regular realms, the rewards are the Elder Hairstyles and Elder Face Accessory. However, currently only three of the constellations have Elder Face Accessories: Isle Elder, Prairie Elder, and Forest Elder. In every Constellation there is a question mark. When tapped, it will bring up the prompt: "Unlock all the rewards in this Constellation to receive the Ultimate Gift". Completing a Constellation means purchasing absolutely everything from every Spirit within that Constellation. Once completed, the question marks in the six regular Constellations, will turn into flags. When tapped, players are then given the prompt: "You've completed the whole Constellation. Visit the Light". To visit the Light, go through the Eye of Eden and interact with the Constellation Table in Orbit. Once there, tapping the flag in the Constellation will summon the Elder for that Realm. Players will then be able to purchase the Ultimate Gift: the Elder's hair or face accessory using Ascended Candles. These face accessories give players the ultimate protection, from Krills, Crabs, and anything that can harm them. However, it will not protect players in the Trial of Fire. To fix broken Elder Face Accessories, players can either return to the Elder through Eye of Eden or go to the Elder's temple. Visit the Constellations page for further explanation on completing constellations and the Elders page for more details on Ultimate Gifts.

If you quit the game or the game crashes while in the area, once you login to the game again and then return to Home, it will be dark, the Realm Portals will be inactive, and your only option will be to resume Eye of Eden through the Return Shrine, or being instantly teleported into Storm Lock upon entering the Eden portal, which is kept active.  Approx. areas with Eden reset on Saturday. (Not 100% accurate) Currently, Eye of Eden Statues reset at 00:00 USA Pacific Time (UTC-8/-7) Sunday morning. Note: There can be some confusion as to what day of the week "midnight" falls on. Eden reset is Sunday at 00:00 Pacific Time, which is Sunday morning in the Contiguous United States (1am in Denver, 2am in Chicago, 3am in New York). This means reset is Sunday morning or day for most of the world (Sunday morning in Europe, afternoon in most part of Asia, and evening in Oceania). See map: The purple-shaded area are the only parts of the world where the Eye of Eden reset can possibly happen on Saturday evening local time. Everywhere else, the reset is on Sunday. You can only deposit Winged Light at a specific Statue once per reset. For any Statue that you have deposited a Winged Light at, you will have to wait until after 00:00 Pacific Time the following Sunday before you can place Winged Light at the Statue again. This means two things: You can revisit Eye of Eden multiple times during the week and collect previously missed Statues. If you purchased Wing Buffs, you will have more Winged Light at your disposal (to lose and to place). In this way, you can maximize your Ascended Candle reward for the week by visiting multiple times and reaching every Statue. If you have already given winged light to a statue in the same week in a previous run, the statue will reappear with a yellow crack. You can potentially cross the point of no return and be forced to give up all of your Winged Light if the timing is off. If you crossed the point of no return just before the weekly reset, the Statues won't reset until you complete your current trip to Eden. This means that if you crossed the point of no return too early, you can't just wait for the reset but must deposit Winged Light to any remaining Statues and all remaining WLs will be wasted. Be careful to remember when the last time you went to the Eye of Eden was, and how many Statues you may have available to gift Winged Light to. The safest way to ensure that the Statues has already happened is to visit Home and listen for the bell chimes on Sunday. Also, watch for the Daily Light Refresh notification and the refresh of Light. This indicates that “Sunday midnight” has passed on the server's clock (not your clock which may be off), and the reset has already happened. Video Walkthrough: Eye of Eden Guide by Tara Other Resources: None of these maps have been updated to include changes made as part of Patch 0.18.0. The changes on the first two maps are relatively minor, but there are significant differences in the upper halves of the last two maps. See June 2022 Changes above.
