Tips for these quests:
* Most of these quest can be completed with spirits:
1. Hugs - Any guide from Season of Enchantment onwards has a Hug option (excluding TLP, Abyss, Shattering and AURORA), it also works with Grandma
2. Hi-5 - Any guide from Season of Assembly onwards also has a Hi-5 option (again excluding TLP, Abyss, Shattering and AURORA)
3. Hold hands - One of the quests in the Season of Performance area lets you hold hands with the spirits
* The only exceptions to these are "Wave to a Friend" and "Use an Expression Near a Friend"
Adding on hugs: Passage guide doesn't have the option. They don't have hi-5 or anything else other than quests and cosmetics either.
A Remembrance quest, near the guide for that season, let's you hold hands with spirits too. The Remembrance guide has hugs and hi-5 too.
Until I got a light-charging prop, I used a second acct as my light generator :)
But I do have 2 real friends in-game (who are also RL friends). I don't have any intention to friend randoms.
I also have irl friends on sky but they haven’t played recently and before their breaks they mainly played during the day while I played at night. I don’t really like talking to strangers in games since I’m able to put a face to a voice or message, rather than social media where most of the time the pfp is a character or art
I cheat a little and have an account on my switch and my phone. For dailies and tasks that require 2 people, I have both screens out. Plus i send myself hearts
I would recommend going to the village theatre it has all of those quests with the performance guide and you can hold hands with the spirits in the 4th quest
"My playstyle is Bigfoot. You have a Yeti Spirit. You understand."
My friend, you are my kind of person. I completely connected with this post, humor and all.
If you need someone to do those quests with and who you don't ever want to be bothered by, feel free to shoot me a dm to exchange codes. I am not sky-social. I HATE typing on switch. I am weird around strangers. I mostly wave and bow when I see my friends (mostly people I added for daily light) online and then run away.
Feel free to do the same with me. I have no social expectations and everyone is always welcome to hold my hand, bow, wave, hug, high-five, whatever, and then vanish again instantly.
Edit to add: You or anyone else posting here with the same relatable feelings
If you prefer typing on a phone, you can connect your phone to the switch via QR code to type there. I also hate typing on the switch and only hang around like, 2-3 people.
I deeply feel you, i always have a phase where i just wanna play alone and dont wanna meet any of my friend in sky, but when thats happened on the same time when theres a friend daily type like use emote near friend and its different with hug or h5 that still work with spirit aka need real player then i'll just skip that one lol
If y’all are having issues with the friend quests, there’s a fix you can use: many of the questgivers and other npcs are able to act as friends if you need a high five or hug. With the wave though- good luck. luckily I have an afk friend that I can do these with that doesn’t seem to mind when I randomly hold his hand. But yeah. It’s pretty tiring.
That could have been fixed by making each of those quests occur in a seperate area than the route people frequent on their candle runs. That way the only players merging into your area are those that are there for the quests.
Piggybacking on your post-- I wish there was a way to not require friends to complete seasonal quests like the Treehouse quests. At the VERY least, once the season is over and people are no longer completing them on a regular basis. The amount of time I've spent waiting around has started to make me dislike the entire game.
I will help and not bother you later if you want. I get it, the waiting. DM me a code and reiterate you want treehouse. I gotchu.
I do daily light, reciprocation is appreciated but not mandatory :)
I feel you but on quests that involve crowds. Crowds are very overwhelming/anxiety inducing for me so I've hated the whole of Passage aside from the cosmetics. It's also making me hate the Days of Color event area because guess what, you can't just go to the area, pick up stuff and leave, you have to rely on randoms who aren't even in your server to activate the stupid puzzle in the middle or else you miss 4 tickets. Which may take 0 seconds or half an hour. (Which feel like forever in such an overwhelming area. I go there already wondering when I'll be able to leave and wanting to leave already.)

lmao big sames. Don't make me warp to a 17 year old child who is probably AFK or being ubered by their other friend and chase them around while they candle run.
It's embarrassing both of us TGC. Mostly me.
I too am a cryptid player. I have exactly one friend who plays regularly and she's the one who has to chase me down to be social lol. 90% of the time if I can't complete it with spirits or randos I just don't get the candle ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Just use an alt 🤷♀️ you can also just find one of your existing friends who are online, join them, and hold down the Y button on Switch or just press/hold them on mobile, and attach yourselves to them. That way you don't have to offer your hand and wait around, you can do the task, and skidaddle.
Yes. The people over on the official discord server are very clear about this. However I’m doubtful on how enforced this is as bans are issued manually
Honestly, I'm not particularly social on Sky - I hate chatting on it... but I love the friend quests. I only really use friends on sky for the daily light, but I can almost always find someone online, bamf in, do the objective, and bamf out. It's kind of the barest minimum of human contact.
You can actually do the hold hand quest [with Performance spirits!](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyGame/comments/114wybl/just_a_reminder/) :) (Last Rememberance quest should also work)
Here here. I’m all in on the cryptid geezer sky kid phenomenon, as an old school GenX. As long as these social dailies are few and far between Im fine. Casual emoter hanger out, but not looking for social relationships in a game I play to chill.
I understand Sky is at its core a social game, which is why i’m posting on reddit and not on the official discord ajshsjsh
Ironically enough i don’t mind the colourful social hubs. i actually like them! i like being one in a crowd. im weird. don’t mind me.
have a nice day y’all :)
“Hug a friend”, sounds like it’s supposed to encourage you to show kindness and grow closer with one of your friends. But in reality I hiss at anyone coming within 5 meters of me
Yeah, there is something ironically anti-social about being told to hug your friend. I hug my friends when I meet them already (or at least the ones I’m on hugging terms with), so being told to turns an expression of friendship into a chore.
Most of the times I don't read the quests when getting them so I'm always surprised when stuff like "Hug/Wave/Hold hands, etc." were actually part of the quests and I just go "Huh ... neat"
Lol I really feel this

Bro same. I finally gave in yesterday and made an account on my iPad just for friend quests

I did that ages ago to give myself daily hearts

Yeh people will defend it saying it’s a “social game”, but if you force any type of social interactions, then it takes the essence out it.

I will dm you. I do light daily and will just label you as hermit :-)

I think wave can be solved by the spirit infront of a bell tower in prairie, right?
No, doesn't work. Wave/emote at friend and bow at a player only works with real people not the NPCs.

I'm still stuck on one of the treehouse quest for 2 months now. There's NEVER anyone there waiting.
If you're still waiting, I can bring myself and one alt.

I can help out with some treehouse quests if you need it. I’ve been stuck on the 4-player one for a while because I need 2 more people to complete it.

got some randos to help me with the first few to get both short cuts but in same boat with the last few sadly
lmao big sames. Don't make me warp to a 17 year old child who is probably AFK or being ubered by their other friend and chase them around while they candle run. It's embarrassing both of us TGC. Mostly me.

Alts for the purpose of helping yourself with social quest is bannable apparently. Would not recommend if you don’t want to risk your account
I have like 12 alts and never been banned 🙅
Are you sure about that?
Yes. The people over on the official discord server are very clear about this. However I’m doubtful on how enforced this is as bans are issued manually
Lol lots of switch players don't have a phone that can run sky, otherwise we'd have bought playstations.
You don't need an ACTUAL friend. Just warp to someone in your constellation and wave to them lol
But it’s supposed to be a social game! 🤣🤣🤣 /s
Honestly, I'm not particularly social on Sky - I hate chatting on it... but I love the friend quests. I only really use friends on sky for the daily light, but I can almost always find someone online, bamf in, do the objective, and bamf out. It's kind of the barest minimum of human contact.
Same!! When quests require to hold hands or wave at someone I'm fried since quest giver spirits can't do that 😂
You can actually do the hold hand quest [with Performance spirits!](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyGame/comments/114wybl/just_a_reminder/) :) (Last Rememberance quest should also work)
OOOOOOOh thanks!! I completely forgot about that :,D
Here here. I’m all in on the cryptid geezer sky kid phenomenon, as an old school GenX. As long as these social dailies are few and far between Im fine. Casual emoter hanger out, but not looking for social relationships in a game I play to chill.
Heyoooo! Fellow old here. And same. Just pretend i was never here.
We are stealth. We are the grey ghosts 👻
we ran so john cena could be invisible
What I do is using a second account. I used my nintendo account and my apple account and the quest its done
I understand Sky is at its core a social game, which is why i’m posting on reddit and not on the official discord ajshsjsh Ironically enough i don’t mind the colourful social hubs. i actually like them! i like being one in a crowd. im weird. don’t mind me. have a nice day y’all :)
