Getting Lightning in a Bottle

The first time you’ll come across a storm, Atul the big toad/ frog will be there to talk you through it. He’ll tell you all you need to do is stand on top of sparks on the ground during a storm.

To find a storm, head to your map in the small cabin to the left-hand side of your ship. You’ll want to look for a black band with lightning strikes and other disturbances within it. Hover your cursor over it for long enough and a label will pop up identifying it as a Thunderstorm.

As long as you’ve got an Empty Bottle — this is important — you’ll eventually get Lightning in a Bottle from standing on the sparks during a storm. We’ve circled these in a red circle in the image below so you know what you’re looking out for.

Even if you run out of empty bottles, it’s still worth running around your boat to stand on as many sparks as you can. That’s because each lightning strike will give you a small amount of Glims (the game’s currency), which you can then use to upgrade your ship, blueprint station, and more.
