  • Tip 1
  • Tip 2
  • Tip 3

Tip 1

Loop order: Cloud Bridge → Windward Ruins → Celestial Altar → Sky Sanctuary. Full clear takes 45 minutes.

Tip 2

Sky Sanctuary raid drops Celesdir Saddle schematic on first clear and a 25% chance of Celesdir itself on repeats.

Tip 3

Bring Ice-resist armor: Sky Islands enforces a 2°C temperature debuff that stacks with altitude damage.
