View source for The Castle in the Clouds in the Sky (Retired)

{{Retired}}{{Location}}

'''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 [[Unlocking The Castle in the Clouds in the Sky|quest]] in [[The Penultimate Fantasy Airship]].

{{statrec|You peek your head inside the door of the Castle, and see a bunch of things that might be giants.<br />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.}}

==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 "[[Wikipedia:Jack and the Beanstalk|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 [[Wikipedia:Hayao Miyazaki|Hayao Miyazaki]]'s 1986 anime classic, ''[[Wikipedia:Castle in the Sky|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 [[Wikipedia:AnnaGrace|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 [[TMBW:They Might Be Giants|They Might Be Giants]], as well as their self-titled song, "[[TMBW:They Might Be Giants (Song)|They Might Be Giants]]":
:''We can't be silent, 'cause they might be giants''
:''And what're we gonna do unless they are?''
