Spirits are very important in Sky: Children Of The Light as they have become trapped and it's your job to free them all. You need to free them to be able to progress in the story and to be able to unlock the next Realm. There are many Spirits in Hidden Forest and this is the Realm this guide is focusing on.

Finding the Spirits in Hidden Forest is different from finding all of the Spirits in Daylight Prairie as you now have rain to contend with. Rain can extinguish your Light so you need to be extra careful here and try to stay as dry as possible. This makes getting the Spirits that bit harder.
Spirit One – Shivering Trailblazer
When you enter the realm you will need to walk ahead of you through the first stone archway. This will bring you to the first opening in Hidden Forest. Directly across from you there will be a stone building with an intricately patterned door.
Walk over to this. To unlock it, you will need to light the diamond on the right-hand side of the door. When you are in, head directly across from you again so you are facing the next door.
Look directly to your left — the spirit should be clearly visible, sitting on their knees. Walk up to them and interact with them using Y. You need to follow their memories. The memory trail of this Spirit will take you through the gate you encountered a few seconds ago. To unlock this gate you will need to light the diamond on the right-hand side of the door.
Follow the rest of the Spirit's memories until you come to the trapped spirit. All you need to do now is set them free.
Spirit Two – Blushing Prospector
This is where Hidden Forest starts to become tricky. It's now raining in the Forest so you need to be careful about how long you're exposed. Keep an eye on your light meter, it will show you how much the rain is affecting you.

After rescuing Spirit One, you should be sheltered inside the base of a tree. If you look out and to your right, you will see another gate. Keep moving through this area towards the gate whilst trying to stay as dry as possible.
When you're through the gate, walk past the trees with the mushrooms on them and run for the shelter with the messaging area in it.
Stand in this shelter and look around you (to your left) and you will see a glowing blue light through the trees. Head for this, flying if possible as it's faster. This is your Spirit.
Tip: To help improve your flight abilities, you should try to collect all Winged Lights from Daylight Prairie before coming here.
Interact with them and follow their memories. Their memory trail will take you across a few gorges so take your time to limit the chances of you falling in. Eventually, you will reach the trapped spirit in a sheltered area and you can now set them free.
Spirit Three – Pouty Porter
As you head out from this area, move slowly to your left as though you are heading to leave the area. As you come out into the open again, there will be a tree with a hollow in its base to your right.
Keep going past this and immediately afterward, there will be an opening in the rock on your left. The Spirit should be sitting right at the front of this opening so they'll be hard to miss.
Interact with them and follow their memories through the tunnel so that you can release them.
Spirit Four – Hide 'N' Seek Pioneer
From here, go back on yourself towards the lowest level of the Forest (you should currently be on the higher level of Forest). Look around you until you see a hole in the rock with a mushroom above it.
If you're the first person there, then you will need to burn off the Darkness so that you may enter the cave. To do this, press Y when you are stood in front of the opening.
When it's burned off, you can head through. The first cave has creatures in it, you need to get through this one and go to the next cave on your right.
Be careful:there are creatures in here that can hurt you, so try to avoid them as they're a bit crabby.
The Spirit will be in full view as you enter the second cave. Interact with them with Y then follow their memory trail so you can eventually release them.
Head to the next area.
Spirit Five – Apologetic Lumberjack
As you enter this area you need to keep walking forwards but look to your left. You're looking for a structure with mushrooms growing on the sides of it (it stands out among the rest of the mushrooms don't worry).
Head up to this and if you follow around the structure (should you not see the spirit instantly), the Spirit will come into view.
Interact with them and follow their memories. You will be brought to their trapped Spirit and when you set them free, they will join the rest of the Spirits that are waiting for you at the temple.
Spirit Six – Dismayed Hunter
Head back on yourself to where you started this area.
As soon as you enter this area, look slightly ahead of you, and to your right will be a Spirit. You need to head to them, fortunately, they are sheltered so you can interact with them without receiving damage.
Follow their memories through the tunnels until you are brought to their trapped Spirit. All you need to do now is let them free!
Go to the next area.
Spirit Seven – Whale Whisperer
In this next area, there is a bridge that will lead you up to The temple. Before you walk onto the bridge, stop and look to your left, you should see a small grey building.
Head over to here, you will lose some light but not too much.
When you are over here, you should see a giant skeleton that has been infected with Darkness. Grab your candles folks, it's time to burn it all away!

Walk up to the skeleton and stand there. Press Y to burn off parts of the darkness. To burn properly, you need to stand still and not move until that entire part has been destroyed.
It may take a while but eventually, all of the darkness will be burned off and you will be rewarded with your seventh Spirit. This Spirit is actually a call noise that you can make.
If you press X to bring up your side menu, you will be able to access it. The actual Spirit will be available in the constellation at the end of the game at the Temple.
Spirit Eight – Tearful Light Miner
When you have gotten past the third structure on the bridge, you need to stand in the middle of the bridge and look right. There will be an area across from you that looks like nothing, but the Spirit is hidden over there. It should look like this:
The Spirit is hidden in the cave, you will need to brave losing some light to get there. When you initially fly over it will look like nothing is there, the entrance to the cave is very hard to see.
When you are in there, interact with the spirit and follow their memories.
This one is a bit special, when you are following their memories there will be one that you cannot pass through. You will need to use Y to burn the darkness off of one of the memories before you can continue. Once you have done this, you can finish following the memories then you can free the Spirit.
