–Daylight Prairie opening |
Daylight Prairie, often shortened to Prairie, is a natural prairie field once home to a lost farming civilization. It is the second Realm the player visits. Differing from the unique Realm layout of Isle of Dawn, Daylight Prairie is separated into eight areas[1] with loading screens between them all. While the game does not explicitly mention the names of all the areas, they can be derived from landmarks and developer mentions.
Daylight Prairie holds 8 Regular Spirits and 14 Seasonal Spirits. Locations of all available Children of Light can be found on the Children of Light page.
Social Space[]
This is the area after the transition from Isle of Dawn, as well as where you spawn if you go through the Prairie Portal. The Social Space resembles the old Aviary from Light Awaits, only smaller and more compact.
There is a small pond in the center, surrounded by two benches. To the right is the Closet Shrine, and to the left is a tunnel to a raised area with a Sapling, bench, and Shared Space. Scattered around the area are Spirit Tombstones, displaying all of base-game Prairie Spirits. From the Social Space, take off into the clouds and glide through the cloud tunnel to the Butterfly Fields.
Butterfly Fields[]
The Butterfly Fields is a prairie field covered in bountiful fauna. In the fields, players once again find Butterflies that can help reach otherwise difficult to access places. The field contains gateways into three of Prairie's main locations: Prairie Village, Bird Nest - with a Spirit Gate requiring 4 Prairie Regular Spirits relived - and the Prairie Caves - with a Spirit Gate requiring 2 Isle Regular Spirits and 3 Prairie Regular Spirits relived. A Passage Mask can be found to the left side, near the cave with Prairie Child of Light #1, to light and do Passage Quest #4. For a new player, Prairie Village is the only available path.
In the Butterfly Fields, players can find:
- 3 Children of Light
- 1 Map Shrine
- 1 Regular Spirit ( Butterfly Charmer)
- 1 Seasonal Spirit ( Confetti Cousin)

Prairie Village[]
Prairie Village is the first area a new player can access via Butterfly Fields. It contains three islands with belltowers, a center island with a constellation mural, and the Prairie Temple in the distance. The objective is to activate the three belltowers to summon Mantas. Here, the player will find the first burnable Darkness Plants which commonly reappear through the game.
The left belltower island holds the Applauding Bellmaker Regular Spirit and a Child of Light inside a room locked by a 2-player door. The right belltower island holds the entrance to the Eight-Player Puzzle Area and Laughing Light Catcher Regular Spirit. The far middle belltower island holds 2 Regular Spirits and 1 Child of Light. Activating all the belltowers will summon Light Creatures, Mantas and Butterflies, which will fly around the islands. Hopping onto these Mantas will make them give the player a ride to the Temple.
In the Prairie Village, players can find:
- 3 Children of Light
- 1 Map Shrine
- 4 Regular Spirits ( Applauding Bellmaker, Waving Bellmaker, Slumbering Shipwright, Laughing Light Catcher)

Eight-Player Puzzle Area[]
The only puzzle requiring eight players is located in the Prairie Village of Prairie. The Puzzle is accessible beyond the doors where the Laughing Light Catcher is found. The door itself requires two people to use the Butterfly Expression simultaneously in specific spots to open. Furthermore, a Spirit Gate requiring 6 Prairie Regular Spirits to be relived is found just behind this door.
Passing the Spirit Gate will lead the player to a room with eight golden disks acting as buttons. This requires eight total players to light all the disks at once. When they are all simultaneously activated, the platform will rise up to a special area above. Once fully risen, the elevator is surrounded by candles that, once lit, allow the player to meet the Ceremonial Worshiper and automatically collect the Teamwork Expression. This hidden cloudy area above the initial elevator has an easter egg, found on a raised hill.
In the Eight-Player Puzzle area, players can find:

Bird Nest, an array of floating islands with broken aviary structures surrounded by flying Light Creatures, is a side area offering an longer alternative path to Prairie Village and access to the Sanctuary Islands. Entry is blocked by a Spirit Gate requiring 4 Prairie Regular Spirits to be relived. Within the clouds in the distance, a visible opening can be seen which leads to the Sanctuary Islands.

Easter Eggs[]
The Fairy (Faerie) Ring is a ring of mushrooms that appear in the far-right island on Prairie Village. It is a leftover from Quests that was to be completed in the pre-global launch. Visiting the Fairy Ring would complete the Quest. There is no longer a clock to indicate the time, nor Candles to indicate the location, but it is still visible at 10 minutes to the hour, for ten minutes, every hour, on the hill above the Eight-Player Puzzle room.
There is also a special treat when seven players, at a shrine on top of the left-hand hill in the Eight-Player Puzzle Area, use the Expression Expression in tandem. The special treat is not an Expression nor a Collectible, but instead a fun and iconic Sky experience. Previously, this required eight players and a hefty load of patience. However, not only has this since been changed to seven players, the time players need to hold their position before the puzzle is completed has also been shortened significantly. Though, players are still advised to gather a group beforehand for easy access.
During Season of Sanctuary, a large carillon/piano-like instrument feature was added as part of the last Quest in the Sanctuary Islands. Once the last Quest is completed, the stone monument starts to work like a carillon instrument, with six bells/notes that players can individually ring. There are six stones corresponding each to one bell on the Monument. Go with 5 of your friend to make a symphony of carillons.
Underneath the Prairie Temple's altar is a bunch of candles shaped into a smiley face. To reach it, jump to the left or right of the interior area, and jump down from the pots. From then proceed forwards into the dark where tall candles can be spotted to light. There is no special feature to these candles, only emitting 9 Pieces of Light.
Seasonal Content[]
In Daylight Prairie, Seasonal Spirits from Season of Gratitude, Lightseekers, Belonging, Rhythm, Sanctuary, and Moments can be found scattered around the Realm. Collecting the Seasonal Spirits do not count towards Realm Constellation Spirit Gates. You will be able to collect their base level Emotes, but in order to collect the Cosmetics or Expression upgrades, you will have to wait for the Spirit to return as a Traveling Spirit. Anything bought from their Friendship Trees do not count towards Realm Constellation Progression.
In addition, Seasonal Quests from Season of Sanctuary in the #Sanctuary Islands with the Treasure Hunts and Season of Moments in the #Prairie Peaks with photography tasks. In addition, the Season of The Little Prince's Quest #3 and Season of Passage's Quest #3 and Quest #4 can be played. Both Quests require activation from their respective Season Guide to start them. These Quests are not repeatable with the exception of Passage's.
Constellation Summary[]
These are the numbers of Candles, Hearts, and Ascended Candles required to complete the constellation. Note that Tier 2 Capes and Seasonal Spirit Friendship Trees do not count toward constellation completion.
