Learn how to get the Glider in Dig, where to find it, and why it’s essential for exploring secret areas like Sovereign Chasm.

Want to soar through the skies on Cinder Island? The Glider is one of the most useful utility items in Dig (much like in Fisch), and acquiring it opens up hidden areas and shortcuts you simply can’t reach on foot. Here’s how to get the Glider, where to find it, and what it actually does once you own it.
What the Glider Does in Dig
The Glider allows you to slowly descend through the air instead of freefalling. It’s not just for fun, it’s essential for reaching key areas like Sovereign Chasm, the Temple, and other midair or hard-to-reach platforms. Once equipped, the Glider unlocks new vertical zones and lets you grab loot that would otherwise be impossible to access.
Where To Find the Glider in Dig?

You can buy the Glider at two locations on Mount Cinder for $3,000:
Glider Location | Coordinates |
---|---|
Mountain Village | 4521 / 1102 / -1728 |
Upper Mountain Camp | 4699 / 1391 / -2336 |
We recommend going for the Mountain Village Glider, as it’s slightly easier to access.
How To Reach Mount Cinder
To get to either Glider location, you need to travel up Mount Cinder, which begins at the Cinder Approach entrance:
- Cinder Approach Entrance Coordinates: 5036 / 226 / -291
This path starts in the Rooftop Woodlands and winds upward toward the summit. We highly recommend bringing a vehicle; it’s a long hike on foot.
Step-by-Step: Easiest Way To Get the Glider
- From Foxtown or the main island, head toward Rooftop Woodlands and find the Cinder Approach entrance.
- Drive up the winding mountain road leading toward the summit.
- Eventually, you’ll arrive at a small mountain village with cabins and a campfire.
- Search the houses—one will have a Glider leaning against it.
- Interact with the Glider and purchase it for $3,000, provided you have enough money.
- Once it’s in your inventory, simply equip it and start gliding across the skies.
Is the Glider Worth It?
Yes, absolutely. Not only does it make traveling across elevated areas faster, but it’s also required to access hidden locations that contain unique loot, dig spots, and lore-related objectives. At only $3,000, it’s one of the best early-game investments you can make.
