Strato in Owlboy: Location Guide
Strato explained for Owlboy players: the area's location, contents, and how it connects to the other regions of the world.
What is Strato in Owlboy?
Strato is the land above Tropos, according to the community-run Owlboy Wiki, which catalogues it among the game's landmarks and civilizations. The wiki's own entry for Levigates describes Strato as an area where those enemies can be found.
It is worth saying plainly that the game's official store description does not break the world down into named regions. The official page on Steam describes Owlboy only as a story-driven platform adventure in the clouds, so the finer details of Strato come from community documentation rather than from D-Pad Studio itself.
Where is Strato in Owlboy?
Going by the community wiki's directions for the Golden Disks, Strato is the land above Tropos. The wiki's Golden Disks page gives one route from Strato's upper screens: from a screen with an arrow sign pointing up on the right and thorns on the left, go through the thorns, then take the top left path once you reach the circling Spikeballs. Past that point, the wiki says, the second disk hovers in the middle of a large pink-leafed tree at the end of the path.
These are community-written directions and the patch notes do not list them, so treat them as a rough guide rather than an official map.
What enemies and hazards are in Strato?
Strato is home to Levigates. The wiki's Levigate entry, which describes them as enemies from Owlboy, lists Strato as their habitat, and the Golden Disks route references further screens with Levigates past a square sign and a waterfall.
The wiki's directions also mention thorns, circling Spikeballs and spore enemies in the same stretch of Strato. The official patch notes do not list Strato, its enemies or their numbers, so anything more specific than this is community knowledge.
What is there to find in Strato?
Strato appears in community-collected routes for Golden Disks. Beyond the pink-leafed tree at the end of the Spikeball path, the wiki also places a disk in a second part of Strato described through a route past spore enemies: from the sign mentioned in the Levigate and waterfall directions, fly to the top of the screen and go left past the thorns and spore enemies.
The game's official Steam announcement for the Anniversary Update describes wider changes to the whole adventure, such as the new Super Dash, auto-aim and cutscene skipping, but it does not list any individual area, which means no official source confirms or contradicts Strato's collectible placements. If you are hunting disks, follow the community routes with the understanding that these placements come from the wiki rather than from D-Pad Studio.
