Looks to the Moon (region)

Looks to the Moon is a region exclusive to the Downpour DLC, with being the only Slugcat that can access it.

Overview
The region is 's superstructure before it collapsed. It's internally quite similar to ' own can, except for the glyphs, which are blue instead of Pebbles' yellow. Both superstructures are connected by a bridge, which becomes The Precipice once Moon collapses.

Looks to the Moon herself can also be met at the heart of her superstructure, revealing quite a bit of important information. While more aloof than her future self, she's still friendly enough to not kill the Spearmaster.

Struts
A largely vertical area similar in design to The Leg. The area is filled with creatures otherwise native to Shaded Citadel, such as Coalescipedes, Lantern Mice, and Dropwigs.

Vents
Similar to the Underhang of The Exterior, consisting of horizontal stretches of platforms with poles and shortcuts connecting them, often suspended above death pits. The atmosphere is full of green particles and lightning alongside s that often appear if the player lingers in the open long enough.

Abstract Convergence Manifold
A dense and twisted array of angular pathways and pipes that stretch across the eastern section of the superstructure, with several of these connecting rooms lined with pillars of high voltage flux condensers. When active, these glowing electric conduits will instantly kill the player and send flying any object that comes into contact with its surface. Due to the fluctuating power in the area, the conduits occasionally turn off, becoming silent and safe to pass.

Memory Conflux
A repeating grid of isolated, screen-sized chambers located in the upper right of Moon's superstructure, similar to the five pebbles subregion of the same name and function. A yellow Pearl can be found in the right uppermost of these rooms, which can also be found in the corresponding region within Submerged Superstructure.

Luna
An outdoor region similar to The Wall, albeit with a much shorter vertical stretch that prominently features a large protruding weather vane-like structure, composed of several spheres stacked upon each other that the player must navigate through to ascend. Past this climb is a portion of the roof of the superstructure that eventually leads to a shrine room of sorts. This room contains a shelter just before a climb to the top of a descending series of five elongated steps, where within the background is a unique mural above each step that depicts the first five levels of karma, similar to the depictions near the top of Five Pebbles. At the end of this staircase is a pipe that connects back into the interior, leading to Neural Terminus.

Neural Terminus
The central hub of the superstructure, with Looks to the Moon's chamber at its core. The chamber is connected to the roof by a shaft that encloses the chamber from the rest of the room and creates a 'U' formation out of the current space. Although technically a single subregion, it is required to go through another subregion to reach Looks to the Moon.

Meeting Looks to the Moon requires first exiting this area and traveling through another subregion; then returning to Neural Terminus at a separate collection of shafts, which is the pathway isolated from the other side of the central room that will lead to Looks to the Moon's chamber.

Despite the cycles of power failure that affect the rest of Moon's superstructure, the zero-gravity is notably stable and unwavering in this region, likely due to its proximity to Looks to the Moon and, therefore, the main source of power in this region.

Trivia

 * Looks to the Moon has the acronym DM in game files, which stands for Depths of Moon.
