Winged Lights are one of the, if not the most, important collectibles in Sky: Children Of The Light. By collecting Winged Lights, you can earn upgrades for your Cape. Your cape allows you to fly and the more you upgrade it, the further and longer you will be able to fly. This makes reaching tricky areas in the Realms far easier to reach.

Before going into the Hidden Forest Realm, it is strongly recommended that you go through the previous two Realms and collect all of the Winged Lights in them:
You're going to need a strong Cape to be able to reach a lot of the lights in the Forest.
Winged Light One
Important: To make this Light, you need at least 4 sections in your Cape icon. If you do not have these, you need to upgrade your cape some more and then return at another time.
Your first Winged Light is at the very beginning of Hidden Forest. After doing the long flight through the clouds, you will land in a small area with a few trees and a path leading to a door.
Do not move from where you have landed. Look to your right and then up, you should see a wooden platform at the top of a tree. The Winged Light is up here.
To be able to get up here, you need to fly and time your boosts perfectly. You can do this by jumping back into the clouds and using the repetitive charging that the clouds give you to assist you in getting over there. Whilst flying, you can press B to get another boost to help keep you up high.
It takes a bit of practice but eventually you will be able to do it.
Winged Light Two
This Winged Light is after you pass through the area where you find the first Spirit. As you go through the door, you should see the glowing figure in the distance. They will be standing in front of another large door.
Important: Rain will damage you by reducing your light and this, in turn, reduces your Cape charge. Try to stay sheltered as much as possible by running through tunnels or hollows in the trees.
Head over to this Winged Light and interact with them to collect the upgrade.
Winged Light Three
Your next Winged Light is in the next area, so you need to pass through the gate.
Head to the first shelter structure that is directly ahead of you.
Then you need to look around to your left to see another gazebo structure through the trees. Head over here.
You will have lost some Light by doing this. You need to re-charge by lighting the candles in the center of this structure. Wait here until your Cape has fully charged again.
Whilst you're waiting, look around and slightly upwards until you see an opening in the side of the rock. It will be slightly above you and look like this:
When you're charged, fly up here carefully. Light the Torch on the right-hand side of this opening to re-charge again. When you're ready, you will need to walk up to the blocked opening and burn the Darkness away. You can do this by standing in front of the opening and pressing Y when prompted.
After the darkness burns away, you'll be able to see the Winged Light.
Winged Light Four
Go back to the start of this area and head to the first sheltered structure again. To the right of this, there will be a tree with Mushrooms growing on the side of it. If you look up, you will see a box structure at the top of the tree and the Mushrooms will look a bit like stairs.
To get up here, you need to use the Mushrooms as stepping stones. Jumping onto or near a Mushroom will give you a huge Cape charge and boost. You need to keep near these and continuously boost yourself as you jump to make it up to the top.
When you are up here, all you need to do is interact with the Winged Light!
Winged Light Five
This Winged Light can be reached the same way as Winged Light Four. They are both in the area (you can actually see Winged Light Five from Winged Light Four's Location).
Head through this area until you find another tree with Mushrooms growing on the side of it that resemble steps. It is quite near the end of the area. Look up and you should see another box structure at the top of the tree.
Head up here the same way you did for Winged Light Four.
Winged Light Six
The next set of Winged Lights will be waiting for you in the next area. Once you have moved through to here, go off course and go to the right. Look for the half-fallen-over structure with a torch in the middle of it.
Light the torch and charge yourself up. Turn around until you see this:
You need to fly up here, it may take a few tries.
When you are up here, light the Red Candles to get some charge then head into the dark cave entrance. To unlock this, you will need to have freed all eight Spirits in the Realm first.
When you are through, head forwards until you see another structure with a torch in it. Head into there and light the torch. The Winged Light should become visible when you're standing here.
This will then build a bridge that can get you to the other side. Cross the bridge and head up the rock to your left.
When you have reached the top of the rock, the Winged Light will be clearly visible.
Winged Light Seven
From where you are standing at Winged Light Seven, look up and around until you see a wooden structure attached to a tree. Head over to this tree and use your flight abilities to get up to the wooden platforms.
Tip: Be careful on these Wooden Platforms, it's very easy to fall off.
When you are up here, follow the platform around the tree and across to the next one. Follow this platform around the tree carefully and the Winged Light will come into view.
Winged Light Eight
You need to head back to the bridge now. Stand and face it as though you are going to walk back across it. From here, turn to your left and walk to the edge. From the edge, look around until you see this:
Head over to here by flying and walk into the hollowed-out part of the tree. in the middle of this area, there will be a circle on the floor. If you're the first one there, you will need two other players to help you break through it.
When you are through, you will fall down another hole and slide through a tunnel until you reach another area.
Important: This area puts your flight skills to the test, so if your Cape hasn't been upgraded a lot then you really should come back here at another time.

In this area, walk directly ahead of you to the far end of the cave where the jars are. When you are here, press and hold A to let out a big call. The Creatures Of Light will give you a strong boost up but you need to look at the wall for the Mushrooms.
You need to use these as stepping stones again to help you get up to the ledge that will be on your right.
Once you are on the ledge, walk through the opening to the next section of this cave. Stand on the ledge and look towards your right then down.
You should see another opening and a ledge, head over to this by flying.
When you are down here, the Winged Light will be behind a locked door. To unlock the door, you need to light the bottom diamond that is on the right-hand side of the door.
Winged Light Nine
You need to head back to where you started this area now. If your Cape power doesn't get you up there then the clouds below will re-charge you. When you are flying, aim to get to the main rock in the middle that has the Mushrooms on the side of it. If you land on a Mushroom it will rapidly re-charge you.
When you are back on the ledge that you started on, look to your left. Head over to this and land on it.
Look ahead of you from here and you should see another large rock with Mushrooms on it. Boost yourself up and fly over here, aiming to land on the first Mushroom. From this Mushroom, climb all the Mushrooms up until you are halfway up the rock. When you are halfway, wait on a Mushroom and look to your left.
You will see an opening.
Wait on the Mushroom until your Cape is fully charged again and jump up, there will be a little piece of the cliff you can land on. Then, from here you can fly over to the opening.
When you land in here, press and hold A to get a boost from Creatures Of Light. They will take you up most of the way, but when they start to drop you, you need to take over and press B to boost yourself until you see an opening in the rock-face.
Head into this opening, the Winged Light is in here.
Winged Light Ten
Head back to the ledge where you entered this area again. This may seem long-winded but it's the easiest way to avoid getting lost in the Cave.
Look to your left and head to the lower rock formation. Land on this and charge your Cape up to full capacity using the torch in here, you are going to need it.
Turn around and look up until you see the trail of Creatures Of Light. Look at them and follow their trail until you see where they're originating from.
You should see this:
When you are ready, you need to jump into the trail of Creatures Of Light and use them to help you fly up to here. Try to fly in the trail of creatures, even though you are going against them, and boost yourself up to the top.
Eventually, you will land on a ledge. The Winged Light will be standing on a stone plinth.
Winged Light Eleven
Head back to the ledge where you started this area. Jump across to the rock opposite you with the Mushrooms on it. Use these Mushrooms as stepping stones to reach the top of the rock. When you are up here, look to your right and there will be another area.
Fly over to here.
You will need to unlock the door here and to do this, you need to light the diamond on the plinth structure (it should be easy to spot). You need another person for this. If you're playing with friends, then they can keep it open for you from the other side. There is another diamond they can light on the side of the door.

If you are playing alone, then you need to light the diamond and wait until the doors are completely open. Then you need to be fast to get through the doors, running mixed with a flight boost should get you through.
When you are through the door, look to your left and there will be a massive hole in the floor. Head down here and you will find another door. On the left-hand side of the door, there is another diamond that you need to light. Light it and the door will open for you to head through.
When you're through the door, you will see a bunch of creatures that resemble Jellyfish floating in front of you. These act like the Mushroom stepping stones, so you need to use them in the same way. Jump from Jellyfish to Jellyfish to get up to the next area.
At the end of the Jellyfish run, there will be more Mushrooms. Jump from the Jellyfish to the Mushrooms and continue to use them as stepping stones. When you reach the top of the stone, you will see a small torch on a ledge. Stand here for a moment and light the torch to re-charge your cape.
From here, look across and you should see another Jellyfish, then an opening. Jump onto the Jellyfish then use this to boost you across to that opening.
When you are in the opening, walk through to a larger room. In here, you need to press and hold A to call Creatures Of Light. They will give you a massive boost to a certain point.
Once the Creatures start to fade, you need to boost yourself up until you see a ledge. Once you see the ledge, you need to land on it and head out to another opening.
As soon as you are outside of the opening, you need to stop and look to your left. There will be Mushrooms growing up the side of the rock. Use these as stepping stones again to climb higher.
When you have climbed all the way to the top of this rock there will be a ledge formation on it. Walk to the edge of this ledge and you will be able to see another area just slightly above you.
Important: If you fall here, you will have to start again.
Fly over to it and the Winged Light will be waiting for you on the left-hand side.
Tip: If your Cape is low, just gently head back to the Mushroom that got you to the top and stand on it to charge.
Now you need to unlock the door by lighting the diamond on the right-hand side and head through it to escape the Cave. This will take you back out to the area where you rescued Winged Light Seven. You will need to fly across to it.
You now need to get back to the main area, you can do this by heading back across the bridge that you crossed to get to Winged Light Seven. This will bring you back out into one of the main areas of Hidden Forest.
Tip: You can also choose to go home if you bring up the side menu by clicking X. From here, you can start from the beginning of the Realm to get the Winged Lights you may have missed now that your Cape is more powerful.
Winged Light Twelve
You need to go back to the start of the area with the large mushroom trees and the sheltered structures in it. It will be easier to find the Winged Lights from here now.
From here, head directly across the area to the far side. There will be a Winged Light waiting for you before you can move through to the next area.
Winged Light Thirteen
When you are in the next area, you need to walk forwards but keep an eye out on your left for a structure that has mushrooms growing on the side of it. It looks completely different from the trees and their mushrooms, it will also have a Spirit beside it called the Apologetic Lumberjack.
When you are here, you will see a trail of Creatures Of Light flying through the trees. If you look to your left, there should be a tree with Mushrooms growing up the side of it.
When you have made your way up the first tree, look across from you, and in the distance, you should see another box structure up high.
To get to this Winged Light, you need to have some fun with the Fungi. You need to use them as stepping stones and use them to help you fly from tree to tree. It takes a little effort to get it right but eventually you will make your way over to the box.
To be able to get into the Winged Light, you will need to have rescued 4 Spirits from this Realm.
Winged Light Fourteen
Go back to the start of this area and look forwards. You should see pipes/tunnels ahead of you. Run over and jump up onto the top of the first pipe. From here, look to your left and you should see a faint opening between the trees.
Head over here and the Winged Light will be in the opening.
Winged Light Fifteen
Go to the end of this area and through to the next one where the big bridge to the Temple is. This Winged Light will be waiting for you in the last structure on the bridge, the one with all of the candles in it, just before the place where you can ride the Jellyfish up to the Temple.
Winged Light Sixteen
Head into the Temple. Go up to the main structure in the middle and then set the Temple Elder free. After you have done this, head out of the back of the Temple from behind the Altar and you will come to a calm Forest area.
The Winged Light will be directly on your left as soon as you get into this area.
