@@atkvin Well, you explicitly learn that the quantum moon always drops you off at the south pole from some nomai texts. So if you always land at the south pole, and the map shows the blue marker, put two and two together..
The Quantum Moon requires conciousness in order to be able to be explored - all Nomai technology requires a concious operator - the scout does not posses conciousness, so it cannot "use" any Quantum effects - the Quantum Moon will move if only a machine is observing it, so a machine without conciousness cannot exploit Quantum effects. Without conciousness, it cannot navigate the fog, because to navigate the Quantum Moon fog needs conciousness as it is itself a Quantum Effect - if it were to try and go through the fog, it's essence would be spread across the entirety of space-time without a conciousness to let it exploit the effects of observing Quantum events.

@Earthplayer sure, that's how it works IRL, But in the game, Quantum Effects require a conscious observer. You have no power here my friend, this is fiction, not reality.
Thank you, your video helped me to finally do it. [ SPOILERS ] (My comment has major SPOILERS) *SPOILERS * I like the encounter with Solarium, it is not overwhelming or terrifying, it is just two beings of different species and times interacting with each other. Though, only one of them can communicate, and we can't possibly answer the questions Solarium wishes to ask. We could tell them that in our time, we are at the end of the universe and that thanks to one of their statues, we are now trapped in a timeloop. (And that only thanks to it, we were able to discover many things). The Nomai are not gods, they are just an ancient species, they are our parents' species and this brief yet meaningful encounter is truly beautiful in my opinion. And to think I was really doubting playing this game.
Hint #1 Noticed how the Quantum Moon look different depending at what Planet he is orbiting? And that on some Planets you can go to the Northern Part and some don’t? Hint #2 The Towers always stay at the same Location if the Quantum Moon moves to another Location. Hint #3 Remember that you can only go to the Sixth Location when the Tower is at the North-Pole. Maybe the QM Location where you can’t go to the Northern Part acutely have a North Pole that you can visit? -------- Go to a Planet where you can Access the northern Part of the QM (Quantum Moon), so Dark Bramble or Giant’s Deep. Look around the Solar System until the QM is at e.g. Giant’s Deep and land on the QM. Now search for the QT (Quantum Tower) near the northern part and get it. Next travel with the QM to a Planet where you can’t access the northern area of the QM, e.g. the Hourglass Twins. Since the QT stays at the same Area when it teleports you are now at the northern Area where you normally can’t go and here you can visit the North Pole. Now go there and look for the QT again, if he is not there just turn around a few times. Get it and now teleport through the sixth Location and now you can exit the QT and visit the South Pole. To be hosted it took me a while to figure that out, what a great Game!
@@carterthegoatroelofs1397 The QT needs to be on the exact north pole, it has the tendency to spawn right next to it though so it might take a few tries
In case that doesn't work for some people: You must have completed all the other planets first. In my case, I was still missing Hollow's Lantern (yes, you can actually land on it). Then it worked as shown in the video.
Thanks for this video. Got it from a website that had text explaining it but I understood what they were talking about through your video. This really boggled my mind even though I been everywhere. About the only thing I need to do now is figure out what the game wants from me at the Black Hole Forge. I've been there many times and read everything and played around with the forge itself. I'm missing something but I'll find it out on my own. Thanks again.
@@lordfish123 I was able to beat the game without it. I'm not a completionist or anything, but it's the only question mark on the computer that I have left and it's driving me nuts. lol
@@gameridiotNOT To get inside the moon, you have to take a picture of it with your probe or camera. Since you're seeing a picture of it, it can't teleport, therefore you can enter it.
@@stskyline8468 I did that, but for whatever reason, when I am on the moon, the ground is invisible. All I see is my ship, the other ship, and the tower
Then you did't watch the Video ;) In short: Giant’s Deep -> Tower near North -> Port to Hourglass Twins -> goto Northpole -> Use Tower -> 6. Location of the QM. I explained it bit more at my Blog: wiiare.in/19720-outer-wilds-spoilerfree-hints-solutions/#Sixth_Location
The important part is being in the tower at the north pole, which is probably only accessible from the hourglass twins version of the moon. I'm not sure where the game explains that it has to be the north pole. Probably some hidden text on some other planet
wiiare.in where did you find all this information tho? I wanted to figure it out for myself but I just couldn’t find the info. I want to the knowledge tower on brittle hollow and that’s the closest I’ve come to answers.. but never found anything that properly pointed me anywhere. That’s why I’m here now
@@kettlepetal3138 You can find the info in a few locations. To find out how to land on the Quantum Moon you use the info found inside the giant cyclone at Giant's deep. You also learn that quantum objects teleport in the dark since you can't observe your surroundings. The last info needed to get to the sixth location is found at the black hole forge in Brittle Hollow, which tells you that you need to make the tower on the Quantum Moon go to the north pole of the moon. Also, when you land on the Moon for the first time you can find a large building called the Quantum Shrine which provides hints to where to find the information by giving you a picture of an area and telling you to recall the quantum rules. I know it's a year late but still :p
My favorite part of the game was figuring out how to land on and fully explore the quantum moon. However I found it a little anti-climactic when i finally got to meet the Nomai but she just tells you a bunch of shite you already know. Also, how is there still a living Nomai, anyway?
The rest of them died when the core of the interloper ruptured and sprayed ghost matter across the system, killing them. This one may have survived due to protection from the quantum moon or was teleported away from the spray
Hi sorry for the late answer, this Nomai is 'living' on the quantum moon, as stated before in the game when you come in contact with a quantum objet, you become the objet. This Nomai can be found dead in the solar system because he is dead AND alive as every quantum problem his body is in all possible states (sorry if it's giberish my English is trash)
How the Nomai survived old age isn’t explained to my knowledge, but she half-survived the ghost matter explosion because she was on the quantum moon. If the Quantum Moon is surrounding any of the five planets in the solar system, you can see this Nomai’s dead body, but if it’s orbiting the sixth location, you find her alive. This is because when the Quantum Moon is orbiting the sixth location, she’s far enough away that she wasn’t killed by the explosion. A common misconception is that the Quantum Moon teleports. It doesn’t. It exists in all possible locations at the same time, which is why Solanum is sometimes dead and sometimes alive, depending on where you find her.
The moon doesn’t teleport, you’re simply perceiving one of its many realities, the moon is basically everywhere and nowhere at the same time, it’s the moment that you see it either directly or through a photo you’re locking it to a single reality. Also of note, when you stop being a conscious observer (being in complete darkness in game) near a quantum object, you yourself become quantum alongside the object, you’re not moving at all you’re just changing realities of yourself. But since Solanum was doing her journey to the Quantum Moon and was at the sixth location, her other selves back in the solar system died becoming eternally quantum, meaning even if she enters the tower and tries to become quantum, there’s no other reality where she’s alive in the moon, and since time doesn’t work the same way in the sixth location, she’s under the impression that your arrival was just minutes after she entered the Moon.
I see people are still confused about what I just went through. I'm using the tornado planet, so get the the quantum moon there and land. 1) GO AS CLOSE TO THE NORTH POLE AS YOU CANn THEN LOOK FOR THE TOWER. If you jump in the tower near the south pole, you'll end up there on the next planet and you won't be able to get close to the north pole.
You gotta be at the exact north pole, change to a planet where You can walk to the red dot, make the sanctuarium appear there and then make it move to the sixth location
A bit late, but what if you jumped through the opening at the top? Not even going to lie I have the game and have "fallen" into it by accident once (it pulls you in from a fairly big distance if you start boosting up to it) but it's dropped me back down on a different quantum moon. The obvious next step would be to try jumping into it again but with a picture of the moon's surface so it stays in the 6th location but my fear of the unknown is seriously stopping me and I actually need help with it.
@@alexmartensson4734 I managed to do it and apparently it just ignores that you have the image of the moon and just resets you back to timber hearth's quantum moon again
Oh, that's quite disappointing I really thought that u could visit the eye. Apparently the Quantum moon version is the closest thing you are gonna get. Thank you for your bravery though.
When i was inside the shrine with the lights off and the door closed. I had a picture of the shrine, i was turning off and on my light. Here is when things get strange and creepy. I was confused on why it wasnt changing location and then it slowly got red and more red. Then i put retrived my scout and the red dissapeared. Please investigate this!
It’s not working for me. You go to the moon while it’s orbiting giants deep, the. To teleport it to timber hearth, brittle hollow, then the amber twin. But ever ever I go to the sixth location theirs just a black rock wall. You leave the shrine after every teleport, is there something I’m doing wrong?
try it a few times more? You should get there at some Point. There is also a other Planet that has a not accessible Northern Area when you land on the South Side - can't remember witch one.
Lol, the first time I did this y just try to be the closest to the planet and reach the mountains barriers and I did it at the first time, when I wanted to come back and do the same I was surprised how did not work again,now when I see this video I can't think how did it work the first time
Skittish Squid on the moon closest to your starting planet, I think it’s called the attlerock , go to the South Pole (blue pin) there should be ruin that you can use to locate the quantum moons exact location
I needed 40 hours playing this game to know how to land on this moon XDD
oof xd at least you got it
It took me like three days
JUST LIKE ME FR
Took me about 35
I needed 200😂kms
EDIT: in my defense i wanted to pretty much 100% everything else before going.
I got stuck here because I thought the north pole was the blue marker, and not the red marker -.-
This exact bullshit right here.

Interesting thing: if you send your scout into the opening of the mist, it’l be emergency recalled
The Quantum Moon requires conciousness in order to be able to be explored - all Nomai technology requires a concious operator - the scout does not posses conciousness, so it cannot "use" any Quantum effects - the Quantum Moon will move if only a machine is observing it, so a machine without conciousness cannot exploit Quantum effects.
