15 Hidden Gratitude Crystals

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

You will receive most Gratitude Crystals after completing a sidequest, but there are fifteen hidden in Skyloft and the other islands in the sky! These crystals can only be found at night.

Remember, you cannot fly your Loftwing at night. In order to collect the Gratitude Crystals hidden on Pumpkin Landing you’ll need to sleep in a bed inside the Lumpy Pumpkin.

To reach Beedle Island at night, sleep in the bed inside Beedle’s Shop. Beedle lands his airship on Beedle Island at night.

Gratitude Crystals on Skyloft:

  1. There is one Gratitude Crystal inside Link’s bedroom on his desk.
  2. You’ll find a Gratitude Crystal on the second floor of the Knight Academy. It is near the second floor exit in one of the potted plants.
  3. There is a Gratitude Crystal inside Parrow and Orielle’s house. When you enter the house look to your right to find the crystal.
  4. North of the Bazaar there is a wooden walkway. Follow the walkway and you’ll find a Gratitude Crystal hidden along the wall.
  5. Look for a Gratitude Crystal near the tree next to the pumpkin patch.
  6. There is a Gratitude Crystal hidden near the base of the Light Tower in the Plaza. Climb up the first ladder and then run around the tower to find it.
  7. Travel through the Waterfall Cave and you will find a Gratitude Crystal as soon as you exit. It is in a patch of flowers near near the Bird Statue.
  8. There is a second Gratitude Crystal on other other side of the Waterfall Cave. Visit the small cave where your Loftwing was caged at the beginning of the game to find it.
  9. There are vines growing near the windmill south of the Knight Academy. If you climb down the vines you’ll reach a small grassy area that is empty except for a Gratitude Crystal.
  10. There is a Gratitude Crystal hidden in the rafters of the Sparring Hall. You can retrieve it with the Beetle.
  11. Use your Clawshots to climb up the chimney on the roof of the Knight Academy. You can then sneak into Zelda room where you will find a Gratitude Crystal.
  12. Above the Waterfall Cave, there is a floating island that is the source of the two waterfalls on Skyloft. You can reach this island using your Clawshots. There is a Gratitude Crystal near the edge of one of the waterfalls. With some luck, you can obtain this Gratitude Crystal without the Clawshots. An upgraded Beetle can reach the island from the ground near the Waterfall Cave, but it will crash almost as soon as it reaches the island. With careful timing, you can snag the Gratitude Crystal at the last second!

Gratitude Crystals on Pumpkin Landing:

  1. There is a Gratitude Crystal on the second floor of the Lumpy Pumpkin. You’ll find it immediately to your left when you reach the top of the stairs.
  2. The second Gratitude Crystal on Pumpkin Landing is outside in the storage shed. Exit the Lumpy Pumpkin through the back door and head right to find the storage shed.

Gratitude Crystal on Beedle Island:

  1. There is a Gratitude Crystal near the propeller of Beedle’s airship. Use the Beetle to retrieve it!
