Isle of Dawn is the first realm that you get to explore in Sky: Children Of The Light. This realm is essentially a tutorial level as it helps you to get used to all of the different aspects of the game. Isle Of Dawn may seem straightforward as it eases you into the game, but there are little details that you need to know should you want to fully complete the area

This guide is going to walk you through how to pass Isle Of Dawn. However, if you want to learn how to 100% complete Isle Of The Dawn then you will need to know the following:
Finding Your Way Around With Basic Controls
The first part of this realm is you learning how to use the controls of the game and learning to find your way around. Here are the basic controls:
- You use the L stick to move around
- Use the R stick to look around.
- B is jump.
- Press and hold B to levitate in the air (this uses up energy).
- Press A to call your light
Beginning The Realm
Climb up the steps and head into the cave area. This is where you'll meet the spirits of the game for the first time. Walk over to the trio of candles and press Y to interact with them. Once lit, you will be met with a message from the Spirits.
Once the message ends, head to your right and light the next set of candles. Again, you'll be greeted with another message from the Spirits.
After this message, head to your right to the single candle and light it. You will be given a message from the spirits about the darkness taking over.
When you've listened to this, head to your left and press B to jump down into the next area. You will see yet another set of candles. Light them and you will find out why you are here and how important you truly are.
Getting Your Wings
Head out of the cave and stand on the ledge. You will see a glowing figure standing in the middle of a vast area — this one of the Winged Lights.
Press B to jump down from the ledge to the next area and head over to the figure. When you're there, press Y to interact with them and you will be given your cape! This gives you the ability to levitate and fly. Once collected, click X to level up your wings (you should be prompted to do this by the game)
Pro Tip: If you find yourself getting lost, press A to call your light and it will mark where you need to go next!
After this, use your A button to find out where to go next. You need to walk up to the ledge near where you collected your cape.
Press and Hold B to levitate up onto the next area. Press A again and the direction towards the Temple (where you need to go) will be clearly marked. In your own time, head that way.
At the bottom of the entrance to the temple, you will be stopped. The gate will be locked and the only way you can open this is through releasing one of the Spirits in the realm.
Finding A Spirit
The easiest Spirit to release will be directly on your left from looking straight at the gate. You should see a blue figure at the entrance of the cave. Go over to them and press Y to interact with them. To complete a Spirit you will need to follow the blue light — this will take you through the Spirit's memories.
Important: You must run through the Spirit's memories.
On the left-hand side of the screen, there is a counter. A section of this will fill up each time you pass through a memory for the spirit. Once the counter is full, you will be able to release the spirit.
At the end of this Spirit's memories, you will come out on the other side of the cave and see a solidified version of them sat on the ledge overlooking the realm.
Approach them and press Y to interact with them, you will have now set them free. It will now go into a cinematic to show the full story of that Spirit. Once the cinematic ends, head to the now free spirit and press Y again.
You will learn a new interaction action from the Spirit and they will now go to the Temple to wait for you.
Unlocked Interactions
You can access your unlocked interactions by clicking X. This will bring up a side menu showing you options of what you can do. In here there will be the actions you have unlocked, expressions, and the choice to return to your home from the realm.
Going To The Temple
Once you have explored this, you can now go through the gate to the Temple. Head through the unlocked gate towards an ethereal figure waiting for you at the end of the path. They are another Winged Light and they will upgrade your cape.
Press and hold B to fly. Flying uses up your energy, but this can be recharged through clouds or by going near creatures of light (they look a bit like butterflies). When you have flown over to the next area, head into the Temple and click Y when prompted to. The next bit will happen automatically and consists of you lighting all the candles inside.
Waking The Elder
After the candles are lit head to your left and when you are near the doors press Y. They will open. Head into the next area towards the large statue in the center of the room.
You will need to awaken the Elder of the Temple by relighting the Altar. To do this, head up to the Altar and press Y. You will then be transported into a magical cinematic where you speak to the Elder in a spiritual place. The Elder's now awoken! Easy peasy.
You can now go through the open doors at the back of the temple to travel to the next land. If you're not quite ready for that, you can press X to open your side menu and head back Home from your current save point!
