Starlight Desert

The **Starlight Desert** is a Seasonal area added to Vault of Knowledge, introduced along with the Season of The Little Prince in Patch 0.14.0. All the quests, spirits, and activities can be found in this area. To enter the Starlight Desert, head to the Collaboration Room in the Vault of Knowledge - left from where the player spawns once heading into the Vault portal - and sit in the alcove with the  Little Prince mural. A Spirit Gate requiring 1 Regular Spirit from Vault will be required to enter. Note that this area is also accessible via a Wind Path tunnel added during Season of Flight after completing Flight Quest #3, in the clouds behind the rose aviary.

## Overview

The Starlight Desert is a vast expanse of shimmering sand dune bathed in a perpetual twilight, where the stars above cast a gentle glow upon the landscape. All around the area will be familiar scenes from the titular story of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince (French: *Le Petit Prince*); a subjectless king, a narcissist actor, a shameful drunkard, a greedy businessman, a burdened lamplighter, and a speculating geographer. Explore and discover the various ironies and beauties of the Starlight Desert.

In the center of the dunes stands The Rose - acting as The Little Prince Guide. All around the Rose is 6 Seasonal Spirits, modeled after the characters above, to relive and receive their unique Expressions. Additionally there is a Map Shrine in the Garden area. This area holds 2 sub-areas, the Jellyfish Cove and Windy Dunes.

### Children of Light locations

There are a total of **3** Children of Light in the area.
The door is on the left side of the Social Space and there is a Spirit Gate that requires one Ancestor Spirit from Vault.

### Spirits in the Starlight Desert

The Starlight Desert holds 6 Seasonal Spirits (Beckoning Ruler, Gloating Narcissist, Stretching Lamplighter, Slouching Soldier, Sneezing Geographer, Star Collector).

 The **Beckoning Ruler** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of The Little Prince who offers the  Beckon expression. The ruler is found in the **Starlight Desert** on the Floating Castle, above the Garden of Roses and next to the tunnel to the Wind Paths. The cosmetics offered by this spirit are  Hair and a  Mask.

  The **Gloating Narcissist** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of The Little Prince who offers the  Gloat Expression. The Gloating Narcissist is found on **Starlight Desert**'s amphitheater, behind the entrance from Vault of Knowledge. The collectibles offered by this Spirit are a  Hair, an  Outfit, and a  Music Sheet 22.

  The **Stretching Lamplighter** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of The Little Prince who offers the  Stretch Expression. The Stretching Lamplighter is found towards the back-left side of **Starlight Desert**, in a giant lamp tower hidden in the clouds, behind the entrance from the Vault of Knowledge. The collectibles offered by this Spirit are a  Cape and a  Hair.

  The **Slouching Soldier** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of The Little Prince who offers the  Slouch expression. The soldier is found in **Starlight Desert**'s giant jar, to the right of the entrance from the Vault. The collectibles offered by this spirit are a  Cape,  Hair, and  Music Sheet 23.

  The **Sneezing Geographer** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of The Little Prince who offers the  Sneeze expression. The Geographer is found on top of the giant pile of books floating in the clouds at the far end of **Starlight Desert** relative to the Vault entrance. The cosmetics offered by this spirit are a  Cape and  Hair.

  The **Star Collector** (formerly the **Shrewd Merchant**) is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of The Little Prince who offers the  Hand-Rub Expression. The Star Collector is found on the broken boat in the Jellyfish Cove sub-area within **Starlight Desert**, accessed through a cloud tunnel to the left of the Garden of Roses. The collectibles offered by this Spirit are a  Cape, a  Neck Accessory, and a  Star Lamp Prop.

## Giant Jar

The Giant Jar is a big, overturned jar, located near the entrance to the Starlight Desert and the entrance to The Windy Dunes. The inside of the jar is relatively small and is scattered with a multitude of jars and other debris. The Slouching Soldier also resides inside the jar among the rubble.

## Jellyfish Cove

The Jellyfish Cove is located near the Garden and rose aviary in the Starlight Desert, hidden within the clouds. The cove is a hidden sanctuary with a shipwreck abundant with Jellyfish. Compared to other areas of the game, the gravity is also much weaker, allowing the player to jump much higher and glide much further. Within the shipwreck is the Star Collector, available to be relived.

## Windy Dunes

The Windy Dunes is located towards the Eden Mountain in the Starlight Desert. Fly above the clouds and land on the dunes and keep walking towards the mountain. Do not fly as the winds are extremely strong and will push you back. The transition is only unlocked after opening Little Prince Quest #6.

### Sky Memorial

A monument was added to the Windy Dunes area of the Starlight Desert 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. It also serves as a spot for those to place a message for your lost beloved ones. While in the area, the OST "Attachments" from the 3rd Sky OST Volume by Vincent Diamante will play in the background.
