The Respectful Pianist is a Seasonal Spirit in Sky: Children of the Light first introduced in the Season of Rhythm. Don’t worry if you missed the season because you can still find the Pianist and get the sweet emote.
Here’s where to find the Respectful Pianist in Sky: Children of the Light.
Before you find the Respectful Pianist in Sky: Children of the Light
Make sure you finish the game and watch the ending credits before you attempt to find any Seasonal Spirit, including the Respectful Pianist. Seasonal Spirits only appear to players who have gone through the game at least once.
How to find the Respectful Pianist in Sky: Children of the Light
You can find the Respectful Pianist in Sky: Children of the Light in the Graveyard section of the Golden Wasteland (the fifth realm).
You’ll know you’re in the Graveyard zone when you see giant bones and two flying enemies patrolling the area. Start going through the zone, but lean to the right side. You should pass two hollowed structures with flames (used for hiding from floating enemies).
In the third hollowed structure on the right, you should notice the Respectful Pianist next to another flame and a burnable mushroom. The Pianist has a tiny piano on his back. Burn the mushroom, rekindle your flame if you need to, and awaken the Respectful Pianist.
To fully awaken the Respectful Pianist, you must guide its purple flame to four locations. I thought this was going to be hard because of the floating enemies, but none of them bothered me. Still, you can fail this section if you aren’t careful, so just guide the flame carefully (don’t go too fast or too slow). If you are having trouble, bring a friend with you. When you reach the fourth Pianist location, you can awaken its Spirit.
In return, you will get the Respect emote, which looks like a very polite bow.
