Hidden Forest, often shortened to Forest, is a concealed woodland with meditative rainfall. It is the third Realm the player enters, introducing the main gimmick for Forest: rainfall. Rainfall begins after player passes the first gate in the Forest Clearing. It passively drains the player's light whenever they are unsheltered, which can be recharged by standing near a light source or by interacting with a friend. Hidden Forest is separated into seven areas. While the game does not explicitly mention the names of all the areas, it can be derived from landmarks and developer mentions. For reading simplicity, this page will be sectioning the areas further in depth. Throughout the Realm are the Assembly treehouses, smaller branches of the main Treehouse which hold Quests for the Season of Assembly.

Hidden Forest holds 8 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

This is the area that you glide into after the transition from Daylight Prairie, as well as where you spawn if you go through the Forest Portal.

There is a bonfire in the center, surrounded by two benches. To the left is the Closet Shrine and a Meditative Stone, where you can get a Heart after a prompt to rate and review Sky on the App Store. The rating and review prompt will not display if you have disabled “App Rating and Review” in App Store settings, or you have triggered this prompt for more than three times over the past 365 days. In this case, the Meditative Stone seems to be “stuck” indefinitely, and you will not get the Heart reward. Scattered around the space are Spirit Tombstones, displaying Forest's Regular Spirits. From the Social Space, you take off into a concealed forest and glide through the clouds to the Forest Clearing. The Wind Paths can also be accessed by taking off and flying to the immediate right, where an opening in the clouds can be found.

In the Social Space, players can find a single Map Shrine

The Wind Paths

To the immediate right upon transition is a passage to Elevated Clearing, where there is a cave opening blocked by a Spirit Gate requiring all 8 Regular Spirits from Hidden Forest to have been relived. To the upper left there is Assembly's second treehouse, holding Assembly Quest #2 and Assembly Quest #5.

Elevated Clearing

Elevated Clearing, often called Sunny Forest by the community, is an area connecting two areas Forest's Brook and Boneyard - offering an alternative pathway through. It can be accessed at either end, requiring bypassing a Spirit Gate needing 8 Forest Regular Spirits relived.

Towering trees populate the area, with two hollow trees standing out. One houses a table that seats eight players and was part of the Season of Belonging story. It now holds Grandma's Dinner Social Light Event. The other, seen from the bridge as a hollow tree, has a two-person trap door that leads to the Underground Cavern.

In the Elevated Clearing, players can find:

• 2 Children of Light
• 1 Map Shrine

Underground Caverns

Main article: Underground Caverns

Entrance to Underground Cavern

The Underground Caverns is a Seasonal area added to the Hidden Forest, introduced with the Season of Belonging in Update 0.7.0. You can reach it through the Elevated Clearing, where a hollowed tree to the left of the bridge can be seen. Two players will be required to do the Angry Expression from the Pouty Porter, simultaneously opening a trapdoor down to the Caverns. The Underground Caverns is different from all the other locations players have seen, where they have to fall underground to enter the area. This area holds the Hairtousle Teen, where you follow their memories around the whole area. Note that this area is also accessible via a Wind Path tunnel added during Season of Flight after completing Flight Quest #1, immediately under the platform with a Child of Light (#14) - next to a non-functional gated structure.

As players fall from the Elevated Clearing entrance, they will see Light Blooms and waxed pots of Butterflies blocked by Darkness. To further proceed into the cavern ahead, players will have to burn the pots and release a Deep Call to fly up with the Butterflies, climb the scattered Light Blooms, or enter the caverns via the Wind Paths.

In the Underground Caverns, players can find:

• 4 Children of Light
• 1 Map Shrine
• 1 Seasonal Spirit ( Hairtousle Teen)

• 
  
  

The Hairtousle Teen is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Belonging who offers the Hair Tousle Action.

Boneyard

The first part of this area consists mainly of hollow tree tunnels and the final treehouse from Season of Assembly. Scattered around are Light Blooms, along with Darkness. To the left is an expansive lake with surrounding trees. Straight ahead leads to the second half of the area. To the right is Assembly's third treehouse, holding the Assembly Quest #3 and the Assembly Quest #6. There is also a Passage Mask near the transition from Forest's Brook, to the immediate left with the lamp, offering Passage Quest #5.

The second half is a flooded land with broken bridges, Whale bones, and ruined trees. To the right is a passage to Elevated Clearing blocked by a Spirit Gate requiring all 8 Forest Regular Spirits relived. From here the player has to reach the Forest Temple overlooking the entire area from above. To reach it, light all 3 bridge towers in order, or fly to the final tower and light all the white candles. Subsequently, swarms of Jellyfish will appear as the rain stops in the area, allowing the player to proceed towards the Temple - by flying to it directly or jumping from Jellyfish to Jellyfish. Alternatively, follow the flock of Birds flying to the Temple.

In the Boneyard, players can find:

• 3 Children of Light
• 1 Map Shrine
• 4 Regular Spirits ( Dismayed Hunter, Apologetic Lumberjack, Whale Whisperer, Tearful Light Miner)

Forest Temple

Once you've ascended the Jellyfish to the top, the player reaches the Forest Temple. The Forest Temple is a large cathedral overlooking the entirety of the Boneyard area. Entry is blocked by two buttons on the side of the door, which upon lighting opens the door.

The interior is factory-like, with elevators and buttons to be lit. There are a few patches of Darkness Plants here, but no Spirits. To the right of the central shrine is a grand Darkness Plant that rises several steps above the works. This plant has a couple of major branches to climb. While you're burning down one branch, the other will regrow, so it will take two players working together to completely burn it out. Once an entire branch is burned, one player may guard the bottom of the plant while another finishes the other side. There are also Crabs near the plant, so Deep Calling is recommended to knock out the Crabs, as well as recharging nearby player's light.

Light the rotating panel in the center to raise the Elder's altar. Lighting up the three candles of the altar will bring up a meditating circle where you can sit to meet the Elder of the Forest in a cutscene and open the two large doors leading to the Forest End.

In the Forest Temple, players can find:

• 1 Map Shrine

Forest End

While still technically part of the Forest Temple area, the general scheme differs greatly from the Temple. This is a bright place with many light creatures, offering a space to relax and a few extra benches to converse with other players. Use the Jellyfish (or the Butterflies via Deep Call) and fly up and out through the cloud tunnel, completing Hidden Forest and flying up to the next Realm, the Valley of Triumph.

In the Forest End, players can find:

• 1 Children of Light
• 1 Map Shrine

Campfire in Forest's Brook

The campfire in Forest Brook (on the right side of the area and elevated) spawns colorful orbs that players can burn to collect Pieces of Light. For more information, see here.

Cloud Tunnels in Wind Paths

Gliding in the cloud tunnel in the Wind Paths, the player can slowly collect Pieces of Light. For more information, see here.

Grandma's Dinner

Event limit: 1,000 Pieces of Light

The Grandma Spirit, who is the Season of Belonging Guide, periodically holds a timed event at the Ancestor’s Table of Belonging in the Elevated Clearing of Hidden Forest.

Like the Geyser, this event repeats every two hours and lasts for 15 minutes. The Spirit appears at 00:30 PST/PDT, waits 5 minutes, and then proceeds to "serve dinner" for 10 minutes. Every minute, 6 white balls (that give 9 Pieces of Light each) appear on the table, and give Pieces of Light when burned. At the end of the event you can hug Grandma before she leaves.

Players can get a maximum of 540 Pieces of Light from a single event. After reaching the 1,000 shared limit, melting the white balls won't give Light to the player. For more information, see here.

Activities

• 
  
  Shared Space Shrines
• 
  
  Shard Eruptions

In Hidden Forest, there are two Shared Space Shrines in The Treehouse and The Wind Paths, offering a way to play in private or public with friends using Props. Shared Space Shrines are accessible to all players who have progressed to Daylight Prairie. You can have up to 16 Props available at a time on your Shared Space, but it can be much less depending on the "volume" of the Props as determined by how much the top bar fills up. Within the Forest Shared Spaces, there are featured Props given to the player to place regardless of if it is owned, being the Hammock, Shared Spaces Standing Lantern, and Assembly Guide Tent. 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 "volume” 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). See more in the Shard Eruptions page. Eruptions in Forest can occur in the following areas:

• Regular Eruptions
  • Forest Brook, on the right ledge with the gazebo, campsite, and Rainbow
  • Forest Brook, nearby the pipe where the Provoking Performer Spirit is located
  • First half of Boneyard, next to the tower with Winged Light #8
• Strong Eruptions
  • The Treehouse, at the path towards the treehouse itself
  • Elevated Clearing, towards the Boneyard transition
  • Forest End, on the far right side
  • Forest End, on the left side near the Forest Temple

Easter Eggs

• 
  
  Eagle Eggs
• 
  
  Rainbow
• 
  
  Ancient Cave Paintings
• 
  
  Friendly Flight Bird
• 
  
  Flight Airplane

From the last tower of Boneyard, instead of jumping on the Jellyfish leading towards the Forest Temple, fly to the right to a big tree stump that has glowing mushrooms growing on it, you will find 2 Easter eggs in a nest. Back in Sky: Light Awaits, they were part of a Daily Quest; "Visit the Eagle's Nest in Forest".

A rainbow can be seen twice a day in Hidden Forest. It will appear at 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. (both) Pacific Time and remains for 30 minutes. You can find this rainbow above the entrance to Elevated Clearing in Forest's Brook. If you walk past the large campfire, you can find a little clock that indicates the time of the event.

The paintings that you can find in Forest Clearing were part of a Daily Quest back in the pre-global launch Sky: Light Awaits: "View the ancient cave paintings in Forest" Daily Quest. The paintings are still available to see but have no purpose other than a nice part of the Sky lore. You can find these paintings in a cave located after the first gate, walking in the cave to your right under the covered walkway. Light the candles to discover the Murals.

In The Wind Paths area, there is a Bird that follows you throughout the area. To trigger it, Flight's Quest #4 must be completed. Once done, call on the second pole from the cave on the far right of the main island and a bird will fly to you from the distance. They continue following the player until they leave the area.

There is an airplane in the sky of the The Wind Paths. To find it, enter the cloud tunnels area and fly to the very end with an island with a bundle of candles. Looking up from here, there is a cloud opening. Fly towards it until the scene turns green. Keep flying up in hover mode until you reach the top. Finally, look around until you see a black airplane flying around that you can sit on.

Seasonal Content

In Hidden Forest, Seasonal Spirits from the Season of Gratitude, Lightseekers, Belonging, Rhythm, Assembly, and Flight can be found scattered around the Realm. Collecting the Seasonal Spirits do not count towards unlocking Forest's 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 Forest's Constellation progression.
