BELLS: If you are making your first pilgrimage to the Quantum Moon, ascend these stairs, and obtain the last of the knowledge you need for your journey.

The Tower of Quantum Knowledge is located on Brittle Hollow's equator and is home to the Tower Shard. It contains information crucial for the Quantum Moon pilgrimage.

Details

Features

The tower hangs from the unstable crust of Brittle Hollow, extending down towards to the black hole at the center of the planet. Inside the tower information detailing the pilgrimage to the north pole of Quantum Moon orbiting The Sixth Location can be found.

There are two scrolls here, one already plugged into a wall that congratulates a Nomai named Solanum on reaching the last step before she travels to the Quantum Moon, and one on a shelf that reminds the pilgrim to remember that they're following in the footsteps of everyone before them who sought to reach the moon out of sheer curiosity and wonder.

Around the inside of the top level of the tower is a quantum moon locator, displaying which planetary body the moon currently orbits.

Accessibility

All but the lowest floor of the tower is inaccessible at the start of each loop, as the gravity panel path leading into the tower is broken and impassable. At some point, Hollow's Lantern will (probably; see notes) knock loose the piece of crust supporting it, and the tower will fall through the black hole and appear outside White Hole Station where it can be freely explored in zero-gravity.

Notes & Trivia

  • As the physics are simulated live each loop, it's possible for the Tower of Quantum Knowledge to never fall into the black hole before the cycle is over.
