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.

## Constellation

The Vault of Knowledge is the sixth and penultimate level of the game. Set almost entirely indoors, the realm's difficulty is significantly lower than the Golden Wasteland.

The Vault has **seven floors/levels**. Just before ascending to a higher floor, the player is shown a constellation, each representing another Realm found in the game.

Location of all available Children of Light can be found on the Children of Light page.

## Social Space

Unlike the other Realms (excluding Isle of Dawn), this area is missing a bonfire as well a Closet to change cosmetics, though it does still contain a bench to chat with other players and statues of the spirits released in current Realm.

## First Floor

This level is represented by the Isle constellation and has dunes of sand here and there.

Elevator to the top4-person door requires the Telekinesis (Levitating Adept) Expression
There is one Child of Light in this level. This level contains the Social Space and the Archives.

This level has a "lighting the lanterns" puzzle to complete before reaching the next floor.

### Praying Acolyte

Pray: To the right-hand side of the circular room on this floor there is a door that can only be opened by four players with the Telekinesis Expression. This specific Expression is not found until the second level of the Vault, which means new players are unable to collect it immediately. Furthermore, there is no way of returning to a previous floor upon ascending. Once you have opened the door, follow the tunnel and find the Ancestor Spirit sitting in the middle of the cave.

### Secret Area

There is a secret area accessible from the first level of Vault of Knowledge. Please see Secret Area (Spoiler Alert!) for more information on accessing this secret area. *Note: please avoid this link if you wish to find the area yourself.*

## Archives

Patch 0.7.0 introduced another brand new area accessible from this first level of Vault. To enter, open the two player door to the direct right of spawn. Along the path is a constellation barrier requiring one Expression from the Vault of Knowledge. Two new Children of Light were added in this new area. However, it has since undergone a lot of changes in both appearance as well as the locations of the Children of Light. The doorway is protected by a Spirit Gate, requiring **one (1)** Spirit from Vault to enter.

## Collaboration Room

This area was added in December 2023, to make it easier to access past collaboration seasonal areas. The area was never officially given a name so many players refer to it as the "Collaboration Room" or "Collab Room" for short. The entrance to this room replaced the entrance to the Starlight Desert, however, it is still accessible through this room. The doorway is protected by a Spirit Gate, requiring **one (1)** Spirit from Vault to enter.

The purpose of this room is to make it easier to access past collaboration seasonal areas as Sky becomes more expansive. When a new partnered season is released, a meditation circle, a mural depicting the season, and the seasonal emblem for that season will appear in one of the alcoves. As of right now, the room offers three meditation spots which are distinguishable by the mural painted above them. The center alcove is dedicated to the Season of The Little Prince, the alcove to its left is dedicated to the Season of AURORA whereas the alcove to its right is dedicated to the Season of the Nine-Colored Deer. Sitting at the season's respective meditation circle will teleport the player to its corresponding seasonal area.

## Starlight Desert

The Starlight Desert was added in July 2021, for the Season of The Little Prince. You can enter this area by sitting at the meditation spot in the center alcove of the "Collaboration Room". This area was previously accessible through a hole in the wall on the first floor. The doorway was protected by a Spirit Gate, requiring **one (1)** Spirit from Vault to enter.

A monument was added to the Starlight Desert area of Vault of Knowledge in honor of a late TGC employee in Patch 0.21.0, and others in-team to whom TGC has had to say goodbye to.

All Seasonal Spirits from the Season of The Little Prince, and the Seasonal Quests from that Season can be found in Starlight Desert. Three (3) Children of Light can be found in this area.

## Repository of Refuge

The Repository of Refuge was added in January 2023, for the Season of Remembrance. It accessible from the first floor, through an underground passage next to the Sapling. The doorway is protected by a Spirit Gate, requiring **one (1)** Spirit from Vault to enter. As the player descends the steps, they will enter an old repository that once served as an archive.

All Seasonal Spirits from the Season of Remembrance can be found here, as well as the Seasonal Quests from that Season. One (1) Child of Light can be found in this area.

## Second Floor

This level is represented by the Prairie constellation.

Door requires 4 people
This is where the player will find the Spirit with the Telekinesis Expression needed to access the 4-player area on the bottom floor. To collect it, four players must collaborate to open the large door off to one side. However, this door does not require any Expressions to open. The player will only need to approach it, and press the "grab" icon once it appears. There are no Children of Light on this level. The floor, made of stars, will recharge the cape when touched and cannot be penetrated.

This level is fairly simple, with another "lighting the lanterns" puzzle to complete before reaching the next floor.

### Levitating Adept

Telekinesis: In the room behind the 4-player gate, the Expression can be collected in the far left corner behind a column.

## Third Floor

This level is represented by the Forest constellation, and has been expanded to contain stone ramps and crystal-like trees. One Ancestor Spirit and one Child of Light are also found here. To reach the next floor, the player will first have to light the lanterns on the circling stone platforms. This will cause further, floating, lanterns to appear around the original dais. Once these too are lit, the player can sit at the dais to ascend to the next floor.

### Polite Scholar

Hands Folded Stance: Once this floor is reached, the Ancestor Spirit will be found on a stone platform. Reliving this memory requires the player to follow them up some more platforms. The orange starlight, emitted from platforms at the bottom, can recharge the player's cape if they run out of power. As at the previous floor, landing on the floor proper will also recharge the player. Reliving the memory will also cause a crystal tree to grow next to the spirit.

## Fourth Floor

The fourth level is represented by the Valley constellation. The stone buildings and mini coliseum resemble those found in the races. This area contains waterfalls of light and stone islands.

A very high platform containing some red candles has remained here after the 2019 Season of Lightseekers event, and can be found by flying directly upwards from the Manta Call platform.

There are two Winged Light in this level, as well as two Ancestor Spirits.

### Memory Whisperer

Find the highest visible platform without a building on it (it consists of two overlapping circles). Simply press the Manta Call button when it appears after lighting the red candles to unlock this Expression.

### Meditating Monastic

This Ancestor Spirit requires the Pray Expression (found on the First Floor) to be collected. The Pray Expression in turn is only accessible through a 4-player door requiring the Telekinesis Expression. Thus, Levitate can only be obtained on a players second run-through of the Vault of Knowledge, if the 4-player gate wasn't opened by four others. Find two islands, one higher and one lower, connected by spiraling stepping stones. The Ancestor Spirit is activated on the lower island and needs to be followed to the higher one. There, Pray until the stone in the center fills up completely with white. Players who have not collected the Pray Expression will be able to follow the Spirit's impressions to the top, though not actually activate the final step. Note: someone else with the Pray Expression can activate the Spirit for another player if they Pray in their stead.

## Fifth Floor

The fifth level is represented by the Wasteland constellation, and has a few skeletons floating in the sky. To reach the next floor, players will need to fly to the Large Cosmic Manta which will approach from the Prairie Constellation in the sky. On the back of the Cosmic Manta players will find lanterns to light – these activate the dais at the center of the floor. Cosmic Mantas will start to circulate the platform, which players can ride to reach the Summit.

One Winged Light is available in this area.

## Sixth Floor/The Summit

This is the floor where the Vault Elder is met. One Winged Light and a Meditation Shrine are also found here.

## After-Shrine Area (End)

This is the final transition area of the game, with portals leading either Home or into the Eye of Eden. The constellation barrier blocking the entry to Eden (Spoiler Warning!) requires 20 Winged Light to pass through. However, it is recommended to acquire significantly more than this before entering Eden.

## Seasonal Spirits

As of July 2021, all Seasonal Spirits are available to collect in the Kingdom of Sky. You will be able to collect the base level expression, but in order to collect the cosmetics or expression upgrades, they will have to wait for the Spirit to return as a Traveling Spirit.

## Trivia

* Originally called Night, this level is also referred to as the "Library" or the "Tower," due to its resemblance to the Tower level in TGC’s game, Journey. In June 2019, the name became **Vault of Knowledge**, or simply the *Vault*.
