The Hidden Forest Realm brings forth new challenges in Sky: Children Of The Light. In this Realm, you need to save trapped Spirits all whilst protecting your Light. You need to use your wits to avoid getting too damaged from the rain, as losing your light can be bad news. Luckily there are plenty of areas for you to duck into and there are multiple ways for you to re-charge your Light.

This guide is going to show you how to reach the end of Hidden Forest. If you want to 100% complete the rest of the Realm, you should look at the following:
Beginning The Realm
When you pass through the flight in the clouds, you will land in the beginning area of Hidden Forest. It's not raining yet, so you don't need to be worried about that currently. There are torches lining the pathway. Torches will become important later on in the Realm. If you light them and stand by them, they will re-charge your light for you.
At the end of the path, there will be a locked door. To unlock this, you need to light the diamond on the right-hand side of the door and stand there until the top diamond has been lit too.
Head through the doorway into the next area, this is when the rain will start to fall. You will find your first Spirit in this area.
To move to the next one, you have to unlock the door. To do this, you need to light the diamond on the right-hand side of the door until the top diamond is lit and the door will then open.
Moving Through The Rain
Area One
Important: Keep an eye on your Cape meter at the top of your screen. The longer you are in the rain, the more the charge will wear down, and eventually, your light will start to fade.
As you move into the next area, there will be a gap under the tree to your right with a torch in it. If you run over to here, you will find that the tree will shelter you from the rain. At this point, you can light the torch and you can stand by it to charge your light again.
When you're ready, you can move to the end of this area and there will be a winged light waiting for you in front of another door. Again, you need to unlock the door the same way as you did the two previous ones.
Area Two
This is one of the largest areas in the Realm. There will be a shelter structure directly ahead of you when you enter the Realm and you need to run for this.
Tip: If you want to avoid losing Light, you can use the Mushrooms on the tree to your left to charge yourself up. They also double as shelter from the rain.
From here, you need to head forwards and down into the gorge below. Down here, you will be exposed to the rain multiple times.
Fortunately, there are quite a few trees with hollows in the bottom of them for you to run between and there are Mushrooms growing on the walls of the gorge that will give you a boost.
Head to the end of this area, it will be marked by a Winged Light.
Area Three
When you enter this area, there will be a Spirit on your right in a sheltered spot. Run to this spot instantly as you're exposed to the rain as soon as you enter the area. Again, there is a torch in here that you can light and stand by to replenish your own light.
From here you will be able to see pipes/tunnels (if you free the Spirit then they will take you through them). Head through the first and second pipe until you see a large hollow in a tree on your right.
Head into here and follow this hollow around to the other side. When you come out of there, run to your right and up a ramp into an archway. There are multiple torches in this archway, so if you need to charge up then now is the time to do it.
Area Four
This is the area before you get to the Temple. When you are in here, you need to run directly ahead of you until you reach the first structure for the bridge.
The bridge is broken and you need to fix it. To do this, you need to light all of the torches in the first structure and then the first bit of the bridge will be fixed.
Tip: This is a section where playing with your friends will make it much easier and faster.
Walk across to the next structure and do the same. The next section of the bridge will be fixed.
Walk across to the next structure and burn away the darkness at the center of it. To do this, stand by it and press Y. Do not move until it has all burned away. When you've done this, the next bridge section will be fixed and you can go across to the next one.

In this next section, there will be a Winged Light waiting for you amongst a lot of candles. The candles will rapidly replenish your charge too!
When you've interacted with the Winged Light, the final part of the bridge will raise but it's not stone, it's Jellyfish.
You need to jump onto these Jellyfish and use them as stepping stones to get up to the temple. These creatures act like Mushrooms and will rapidly charge you if you are on or near them.
The Temple
If you're the first one there then the Temple doors will be locked. To unlock them, you need to light both diamonds at the bottom of each door.
When you head into the Temple, you need to climb up the center formation and get to the top. When you are at the top, you need to light the golden button at the front. This will raise the Altar. When it has been raised, you need to press Y to kneel in front of the Temple Elder to wake them up.
You will be transported into a cinematic with this Realm's elder.
When you have awoken them, you can choose to talk to the Spirits you have rescued and gain their offerings. You can do this at another time if you don't feel like it now.
Exiting The Realm
There will be doors open at the back of the Temple behind the Altar now that you've awoken the Elder.
Head through these and you will be brought to a really calm, autumnal forest area. At the far end of this area, you will see the Jellyfish again and Creatures Of Light.
Jump onto the Jellyfish and then up until you're in the stream of Creatures Of Light. Then, all you need to do is fly and you will have completed this Realm.
