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 light-draining dark water. If the player is in contact with the water, their light begins to drain - similar 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], with loading screens between them all. It can well be positioned as the second hardest realm, only after Eye of Eden. This is also a place where help can be extremely valuable.

Golden Wasteland holds 6 Regular Spirits and 14 Seasonal Spirits. Locations of all available Children of Light, which 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, turns left and eventually lands in this area. The Social Space has a bonfire surrounded by two benches in the center, an Outfit Shrine to the left, and an entrance to the Nintendo Switch Area to the left as well. To the right is a port, acting as the entrance to Treasure Reef. Scattered around the whole space are 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 the 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), in the form of a pipe 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, and you can only enter using the side that corresponds with the cape you are wearing.

Treasure Reef[]

Wasteland TreasureReef1

What lies beneath the water?

–Treasure Reef Opening

Version 0.16.0 added an area for Season of Abyss to the Golden Wasteland; Treasure Reef. On the right of the social space, there will be a pier with a boat. Take the boat and sail through the dark cloud of Wasteland into a crystal clear water paradise. The Treasure Reef is home to multiple creatures and acts as the tutorial for the Diving Mechanic, where the player unlocks the feature. Note that the boat will display only if a player has progressed at least to Vault of Knowledge. The Treasure Reef lets players seek the mysteries and surprises that await in the sapphire depths of the reef.

In the Treasure Reef, players can find:

Graveyard Entrance[]

Wasteland GraveyardEntrance1

Graveyard Entrance, referred to as 'First Krill Area' by the community, is combined with the next area, Graveyard, in-game. However, for reading simplicity they have been split into two areas for this article. The area is surrounded by gigantic walls and pillars corroded to time. Familiar structures can be seen, similar to the one in the Forest Temple. The Graveyard Entrance serves as the player's first encounter with Dark Dragons, a formidable opponent that players are recommended to avoid. Being seen and hit by one causes the player to lose 1-6 Winged Light and have their light extinguished. The Winged Light can be recollected for a short time after they drop, but it is generally difficult to do so alone.

In the Graveyard Entrance, players can find:


  • Courageous Stance

  • Acknowledge

Graveyard[]

Wasteland Graveyard1

Once the player has made it past the first Dark Dragon in the Graveyard Entrance, a slope leads them into the lower swamp, the Graveyard. The area is teeming with Dark Dragons and Crabs, surrounded by gigantic bones emerging from the unnatural landscape. It is recommended to remain vigilant and cautious in this area, as attacks from Dark Dragons can be devastating. In addition to the dark creatures, it's also filled with Dark Plants, with a large one in the center requiring multiple players to burn. Beware while burning this, as it is in the middle of a Dark Dragon's path.

To continue onwards, move straight ahead, towards where streaks of wind can be seen leading to the next area: Battlefield. Alternatively, the player can enter the Crab Fields via a pipe near the beginning slope blocked by a Spirit Gate requiring one Regular Spirit from Wasteland to have been relived, or through an entrance to the far right, also blocked by a Spirit Gate with the same requirements.

In the Graveyard, players can find:

Crab Fields[]

Wasteland CrabFields1

Crab Fields is a Dark Crab-infested area, as per the name, with a patrolling Dark Dragon. The area holds an abandoned ship in the center which the dragon orbits, with a large amount of pipes along the walls of the area.

There are four ways to access the Crab Fields area. For two of them you will need to have found either one or two Regular Spirits from Golden Wasteland.

  • First way: when you exit the Graveyard Entrace, go through the Spirit Gate in the pipe to the right as you slide down the hill. This barrier requires one Ancestor Spirit from Wasteland
  • Second way: above the previously mentioned barrier, there is another pipe which also leads into Crab Fields. Entering this way will recharge your light. However, this pipe may be slightly difficult to reach on your own.
  • Third way: In the Graveyard, go right along the rocks until you find an elevated platform made out of bricks. There should be a round pipe with a Spirit Gate on this platform that requires one Regular Spirit from Wasteland to open.
  • Fourth way: in the Battlefield, go to the right along the rocks/wall until you find some some large pipes. It may help to first head towards the Temple, and then take a sharp right. There you will find a Spirit Gate which requires 2 Regular Spirits from Wasteland.

Battlefield[]

Wasteland Battlefield1

Battlefield is the final open area of Wasteland before entering the Temple. It is a barren wilderness scattered with buried structures, spears, and shields. This area is connected to both the Graveyard and the Crab Fields areas. The exit to the Crab Fields is hidden in a corner, and blocked by a Spirit Gate that requires 2 Regular Spirits from Wasteland.

In the center of the area is a large, scattered structure, with a large Darkness plant requiring multiple players to burn found in the middle. At the very end of the area, just before the temple, there is a closed gate with a button that needs to be activated with the player's candle in order to open the gate. Be warned that upon activating, the gate will open, but three Dark Dragons will also appear and patrol the area. Thus, it is highly recommended to finish exploring and only activate the switch when you are ready to leave and enter the Temple.

Shared Space Shrines are accessible to all players who have access to Daylight Prairie, but they must have at least two props to access edit mode.

Within the Wasteland Shared Spaces, there are featured props given to the player to place regardless of if it is owned, being Icon prop summer tube Crab Whisperer Pipe, Icon prop torch lantern Troupe Juggler Brazier, and Shared-Spaces-Brick-prop-icon-Morybel-0146 Shared Spaces Brick. Once a prop is in use, it will stay where you left it as long as you don't move it or remove it. The items are sorted by how much "load” they use in a Shared Space, listed from left to right.
A mechanic implemented with the Season of Shattering, shards periodically erupt from the mountain on the horizon, falling multiple times a day in one predetermined location, determined with the daily quest realm (the top of the realm's portal will also have shards embedded).

    • The Forgotten Ark, in the far distance in the farming subarea, besides the Scarecrow Farmer
    • The Forgotten Ark, beside the half-submerged ship, to the left near the Playfighting Herbalist
    • The Forgotten Ark, on the right side of the Ark towards the crab caves
    • The Forgotten Ark, beside the circular pond near the Ark
    • Graveyard, near the slope from the Graveyard Entrance

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. Once done, the catapult will be 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 thrown far, it's a fun way to play with your friends - if you are not afraid of the Dark Dragons.

Seasonal Content[]

In the Golden Wasteland, Seasonal Spirits from Season of 1 Gratitude Gratitude, 2 Lightseekers Lightseekers, 3 Belonging Belonging, 4 Rhythm Rhythm, 5 Enchantment Enchantment, and 12 Abyss Abyss can be found scattered around the realm. Collecting the Seasonal Spirits does 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 5 Enchantment Season of Enchantment can be played to revitalize the Forgotten Ark, and 12 Abyss Season of Abyss quests can be played in order to discover the discover the mysteries of the Treasure Reef. Additionally, Season of AURORA AURORA's Quest #4 is available to play. Neither of the former two quests are replayable, with only AURORA's being so - however, Enchantments quests can occasionally be featured as Daily Quests.
