The Hole 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 Hole in the Sky, you need a steam-powered model rocketship, obtained from the Top Floor of The Castle in the Clouds in the Sky. If you try to go there without the model rocketship, you will receive this message:
- You can see it, but you can't get to it without some means of traveling...
- TO SPACE
A primary stat of 100 is suggested. If your main stat isn't high enough, you'll see the following message:
- You shouldn't be here yet.
(It is recommended that you have at least 100 <mainstat> to adventure here.)

Notes
- As stated on a Jick and Skully show (Needs Date), the male and female monsters are mechanically similiar -- stats and item drops included (e.g., the Box and Trouser Snake are, aside from text and image, the same monster).
- The Astronomer is slightly more likely to show up than the other monsters. There are two Astronomers with a rejection rate of 25%, which means that on any given adventure in this area, there is a 25% chance that an Astronomer simply will not show up, even accounting for queue effects. When the queue is empty, the Astronomer will show up 14.3% of the time. When it is full of 5 other monsters, the Astronomer will show up 22.2% of the time. See On the Trail for encounter frequency when seeking the Astronomer bounty.
