Cairn – Light Up The Sky Trophy Guide

Cairn, a recently released mountain climbing simulator by The Game Bakers, may be a mostly solitary and gruelling experience. However, every budding pro-climber needs to have some training and knowledge if they hope to defeat Kami, something that no one has done before. Here is our Light Up the Sky trophy guide for Cairn.

Check out our Cairn Review to get our full thoughts on the game.


Light Up The Sky Trophy Guide

There are many wonderful sights to behold as you make your way up Kami. Wouldn’t it be more wonderful if you’re able to shoot off some colouful fireworks as you relax under the night sky?

Doing so will net you the Light up the sky trophy!

You’ll have the chance to do this relatively early in the game. You just need some minimal levels of curiosity.

Once you see this decrepit cable car teetering over, use your Look function, and you’ll see a slightly hidden cave entrance.

Kindly ignore my many failed attempts to enter the cave from the bottom. Learn from me and just rappel down.

Climbing up to the opening under the broken cable car, saving nearby and/or setting up a bivouac, then rappelling down the cave entrance, in hindsight, is the best way to get inside the cave.

Follow the cause of the loud noise, and you’ll see the set of fireworks. Oh, also, clean up the cave while you’re at it. Damn, tourists left a mess!

Once through, careful to avoid the chasm within, especially in the dark, head towards the end and grab the Fireworks.

Climb from the back of the cable car.

Now that the fireworks are in your backpack, it’s time to set them off. Head back out and beeline towards the broken cable car. We’re gonna climb on top of it to set off the fireworks. Aava needs to take a short break. In order to do so, we need a cairn, and there’s one on the cable car.

Once you’ve taken the necessary amount of screenshots to satisfy you, congrats!
