How To Find All the Collective Items In Isles of Sea and Sky – The guide tries to tell you how to reach the ending and where (not how) to find all the common items in this game.

This guide will also mention where the character upgrades are and brief hints on how to get them.

It can also help with congestion.

How To Find All the Collective Items In Isles of Sea and Sky

For steam achievements lol.

In fact, one does not need to collect all the items to get all the steam achievements.

So this game is more likely to be a 100% self-fulfilling challenge

— collect all 109 stars and 12 gems of each type.

How To Find All the Collective Items In Isles of Sea and Sky

And some other final topics like the price from the developer.

PS: As @Ceremony noted in the comments, there may be 13 keys left after completion, but I can’t confirm which key or door is missing. So the keys are not included in the guide.

This guide may contain spoilers. I recommend reading after reaching the normal ending.

How to Reach The Isles of Sea and Sky Ending (Spoiler)

It takes two steps to reach the end.

Awaken all four elementals

On the four main islands (achievements pop up when you enter), collect the 6 matching elemental gems and meet the great spirit (they are in room C0 for the island of earth, water and fire, in room C2 for the island of air).

A small elemental is necessary to collect many stars, so when you arrive on a new island it is recommended to first encounter a giant elemental, grab a rune in the same room, and then collect a gem to awaken the elemental on the island.

Reach the top of the Sanctum

After awakening the last elemental, a portal to the starting island will open under the large elemental.

Enter and you can return to the elemental seal on the starting island – it’s now open and allows you to go north to the Sanctum.

(Or you can choose not to use the portal, but return via the turtle whenever you want.

Opened Sanctum Gate

Sanctum is a 3×3 area without a map. A quiz in its four corners must be solved to unlock the gate in the central room. Get the correct type of elemental to interact with the 2×2 large crystal in each room to solve the quiz.

The correct elementary types are implied

  • Sign on the gate
  • Room theme

The quiz in Sanctum can be difficult and have multiple solutions, so don’t get frustrated if it takes you too long to solve them.

After solving all four crystal quizzes you will gain access to the upper Sanctum room, go there and enjoy the ending theme.

You can quit the game at any time and continue playing from the Sanctum without losing your progress

Upgrades and Runes – Before You Start Collecting (Spoiler)

It is highly recommended to collect items to help you progress more before collecting stars and all the gems.

It consists of two parts:

Runes — can unlock the corresponding type (can be distinguished by the color of the emblem) colored blocks for you.

Upgrades — can give you extra mobility power to explore the world.

Runes

The earth, water, fire, and air runes are placed in the same room with the respective giant elemental. (C0 for earth, water, fire and C2 for air)

The tree (green) rune is located on the “island of small trees” just below the starting island.

The snake (dark purple) rune is located in the upper room of the snake island.

All six runes can be obtained without upgrading or awakening the elements.

So when you get stuck, find a rune first and then consider an elemental or enhancement.

Upgrades

I think it’s possible to get all the upgrades without awakening an elemental, but I’m not sure.

Gloves in stone cliffs

It can make you dig through the dirt

The glove is located in the underground room-C1, to get it you need to open the gate in the underground room-C2.

Look at the settings on the front of the gate.

Find the same assembly on the ground.

They are in the four corners of the island, each with one moving crate.

Don’t know the crate sign? Move it to a random pit and look from another corner room.

A Flipper  in Tidal Reef

It can make you float through water tiles except deep ocean
The flipper is located in room A4, to get it you need to solve the dragonfly puzzle.

Hints: Find the three dragonflies on the islands in the next three corners.

Chase each one until they disappear, recording their color and path.

Think of a 5×5 grid on A4 as a map of an island, a crate as dragonflies.

Push the crate to the corresponding starting point (the three corners) and use them to repeat the dragonfly’s paths.

Armor in Raging Volcano

It can raise your thermometer from 4 to 6

The armor is located in room E0, three red keys are required to obtain it.

Hints: Keys are obtained by meeting the boss in room A0, A4, E4 (three corners again).

Enemies are random, so no fixed progression.

I tend to banish the enemy that casts the tracer flame first.

Note that the slime bomb can push the seal out of your reach.

The Wings in Frozen Spire

It can make you slide right through an opening 1 tile wide

The wings are located in room A0, which only birds can access, and bird pairings are random between save files. To get it, you need to get the blue key.

Hints: Check the next three corners, there are three ‘small houses’.

The patterns on the doors are a map of the island.

There is one tile with a different floor pattern in each marked room.

Check it and you’ll have an egg, take the three eggs to the bird’s nests, you’ll get a key.

Item Distribution – How To Find All the Collective Items In Isles of Sea and Sky

The number of stars on the four main islands will not be shown as they are shown on the in-game map.

(Maybe I’ll flesh them out later…)

But I’ll list the puzzle star sources and give maps to make it clear which rooms one has access to.

(Hints for these puzzles may be added later… In fact, the tiles themselves in the puzzle usually give many clues.)

Red Mountain Island

Ring all four giant bells to unlock the gate.

Unlock giant bird travel. (BTW, I unlock it after getting all the gems and all that’s left is the stars on snake island, lol)

The island can only be reached by birds

Stars: 1

Black Gems:1 (behind the secret passage)

Grass Island near the South Pole of the world

Gems: 4 (each elemental 1, all necessary upgrades)

Tiny island below the Frozen Spire

Stars: 1

Look for the mountain marker between the rocks in the upper right.

The room at Stoney Cliffs has the same designation. It’s room B3.

Place the crates just like B3.

The next crate doesn’t seem to need to be pushed towards the ocean, just leave it alone outside the center area.

Extra Tips for finding secrets

Secret Mark

To indicate that a secret passage is nearby, push somewhere to cause the wall to explode, clearing a new path.

(Though a hidden path may just be a path and lead to nothing special.

Some hidden things may not be indicated by either a marker or a snake, so be brave and try when you see something out of reach.

Landscape on the edge of the screen

A land edge like this one at the edge of the screen, although it looked like a dead end, can usually be walked to the next room. Attention!

  1. On the tiny island below frozen spire, I can’t access the main section of the panel. I can only push the crate one space to the right before it hits the raised sand platform. Also, there are “sleeping” zzz’s coming off the second mountain marker in blue on the toward the lower right. I have 107 stars btw.

    • Hey Kevin, there’s a destroyable Boulder you walk into a few tiles above that crate to access the main area. The Sleeping zzz’s is the hidden star.
