Beyond the barren wastes, the Vault of Knowledge awaits

–Golden Wasteland opening

Golden Wasteland, often shortened to Wasteland, is a desolate land bathed in the fading glow of a once-mighty civilization. It is the fifth realm the player visits, being the first encounter with draining water. If the player is in contact with the water, their light begins to drain - similiar to Rainfall. The light can be recharged by standing near a light source, or interacting with a friend. Golden Wasteland is separated into eight areas[2], loading screens between them all.

Golden Wasteland holds 6 Regular Spirits and 14 Seasonal Spirits. Locations of all available Children of Light, who hold Winged Light, can be found of the Children of Light page.

Social Space[]

Wasteland SocialSpace1

After leaving the Valley Temple, the player flies through the clouds and eventually lands in this area. As usual, the Social Space has a bonfire surrounded by two benches in the center, a Outfit Shrine to the left aswell as an entrance to the Nintendo Switch Area. While to the right is a port, acting as the entrance to the Treasure Reef. Scattered around the whole space is Regular Spirits that have been relived in the current realm. There is a jump off point onwards, where you are able to dive down to Broken Temple area via the large tornado. There is a Map Shrine on the jump off point.

In the Social Space, players can find:

Nintendo Switch Area[]

With the release of Sky on Nintendo Switch, thatgamecompany added a small playground area that takes on the character and play-style of Nintendo's Super Mario series of games, turning the camera to a stationary angle to mimic the 2D style of the early Super Mario games and featuring the iconic ? Blocks, Warp Pipes and other hallmarks of the Mario franchise.

The entrance of the area lies behind the Outfit Shrine (around the left-hand side) is a pipe that is blocked by a Spirit Gate. A player needs either the red or blue cape from the Nintendo Pack in order to enter. As with other specialty capes, a person with the cape can lead players without the cape inside while holding hands with them. There is a red side and a blue side of the Spirit Gate to represent two Joycons, where you can only enter using the side that corresponds with the cape you are wearing.

Easter Eggs[]


  • Catapult
After the Graveyard Entrance, slide down the slope to Graveyard and you will find the catapult on your right, at the bottom of the hill. You can activate the catapult by lighting the candle next to the kneeling man statue and once done the catapult will get in motion and ready to use. 7 players can sit in the basket and if no one activate the arm within 90 seconds, it will break into pieces. To restart the catapult give a light to the kneeling statue once more. When you are ready to launch your victims, activate the lever by clicking on the hand icon. Although you won't get expedited far, it's a fun way to play with your friends - if you are not afraid of the Dark Dragons.
