Compound Generator

An island below the main area shelters the Compound Generator, a large machine used to spawn the Artifact Portal leading to Bulwark's AmbryBulwark's Ambry (Hidden Realm)
Hidden Realm: Bulwark's Ambry
The area consists of block-shaped platforms, with the Artifact Reliquary in the center.. It is accessible by going through one of the 2 floor doors or by dropping down from the correct edge of the main landmass.

Monsters will not spawn on the island housing the Compound Generator, but they can follow you down from above.

The Compound Generator can be interacted with in two ways:

• 9 switches can be cycled through displaying one of four shapes: square, circle, triangle, diamond (■ ● ▲ ♦). In a specific sequence, these 9 shapes can generate the artifact portal.
• The computer can be used to submit the current code to the Generator that will then try to open the Artifact Portal.

If the wrong code is submitted, the Portal's opening will fail and players can put in another code.

Using the Artifact Portal will lead to Bulwark's Ambry where the players will face a trial to unlock the Artifact corresponding to the code entered in the Compound Generator. It is possible to completely skip the Teleporter Event of Sky Meadow by going through this teleporter, but players can still use the Artifact Portal after completing the Teleporter Event.

For a spoiler free way to find the Artifact Codes, see Artifact Hints. Otherwise, see Artifacts for more information.

Newt Altars

There are 5 possible locations for the Newt Altars and exactly 1 will spawn:

1. In a corner near one of the floor door leading to the Compound Generator.
2. On the big sloping piece of land at the center of the map, under the big round rock.
3. Near the other floor door leading to the Compound Generator.
4. On the upper part of one extremity of the map, accessible with a geyser.
5. In a corner under some big land bridges, near a stone "monument".

I’m tired. Haven’t slept in days. My feet are heavy in my boots. I should turn back, but… this place, it’s keeping me awake, if only to pull me further into its serenity. The soft grass, unnatural. The glowing fauna that plays tricks on my eyes. I’ve seen no predators, but what if they’re hiding…. waiting for me to take a rest?

The next plateau will help me find a landmark… no… but the one I can see from here might. These dangerous rock rivers I keep stumbling across, I’d stay away from them if they weren’t so fascinating. How do they even work? How can local gravity be so discrete? Maybe this is all a dream?

A gate! Yes, a stone gate! If I can figure out how to open it maybe I can find a place to finally rest! I'm so tired… no! I’ll sleep when I’m dead. The crowbar might not be enough for these massive doors. Ah, just my luck! 

Wait… what was that noise?

Trivia

• The internal development name for Sky Meadow is Sky Meadow.
• The music playing on Sky Meadows is titled "The Rain Formerly Known as Purple" this is a reference to both the song Purple Rain by Prince as well as Prince changing his stage name to "The Artist (Formerly Known as Prince)" in 1993 due to a legal dispute with Warner Bros. Records.
  • Additionally the guitar riff that starts being repeated at around 4:46 is a cover of the same guitar riff being played in Purple Rain around the same time.
  • Similarly the piano that can be heard around 6:35 is replicating the piano heard near the end of the song
  • Additionally the symbol that prince used can be seen faintly at the end of the youtube video of the song uploaded by the song's artist Chris Christodoulou.

• If you go through the Void Fields before your first loop, it is possible to encounter Void Reavers without looping.
  • Note, however, there is no lore reason for this. This is simply a consequence of the Void Reaver being a possible spawn on Sky Meadow after clearing 5 stages. Normally by the time one has reached Sky Meadow, the player has only cleared 4 stages and as a result the Void Reaver will only appear after looping. However, visiting -and exiting- the Void Fields counts as clearing a stage, which makes the aforementioned observation possible. This is the same reason why visiting the Void Fields before Sky Meadow makes Scavengers and Tier 2 elites spawning possible before looping.
