The Castle in the Clouds in the Sky is found atop The Beanstalk, which is located in The Nearby Plains (once you've been able to plant an enchanted bean).

To reach the Castle, you need a S.O.C.K. (or an intragalactic rowboat, which contains a S.O.C.K.). To get a S.O.C.K., you must have completed the requisite quest in The Penultimate Fantasy Airship.

A primary stat of 95 is suggested. If your main stat isn't high enough, you'll see the following message:

You peek your head inside the door of the Castle, and see a bunch of things that might be giants.
The little voice inside your head can't be silent about this, so you decide not to go in there until you get a little heftier.
(It is recommended that you have at least 95 <mainstat> to adventure here.)

History

  • The Castle was significantly revamped as of February 18th, 2013 as part of a change to the Level 10 quest. It was split into 3 new zones with new giants joining the old. See The Castle in the Clouds in the Sky.

References

  • In the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk", Jack climbs a magic beanstalk all the way to the clouds, where he encounters a giant living in a castle.
  • The location's name may also be a reference to Hayao Miyazaki's 1986 anime classic, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, which incidentally features a 12 year-old protagonist, an undeniably spunky princess, and robots powered by a blend of magic and technology (which are possible back-references to the combat encounters in The Penultimate Fantasy Airship).
  • This location's name may also refer to the rave favorite "Castles in the Sky" by AnnaGrace, as the castle is populated by annoying ravers.
  • The message when you don't have enough for your main stat is a reference to the band They Might Be Giants, as well as their self-titled song, "They Might Be Giants":
We can't be silent, 'cause they might be giants
And what're we gonna do unless they are?
