Finding the anomaly star

[Solar]

I've set up a guide pooling general info together and my thoughts on how to find the anomaly star. Let me know what you think!

Finding the anomaly star in MirrorMoon EP

[Harest]

Hi,

Just started the game and i've quite enjoyed it so far. Some "feelings" are similar to the ones i got when i played FEZ. I really like to discover (strange) stuff by myself.

Anyway, i choose the last season (74). After a few hours, I found a circled star (/ planet ? Dunno why they are called stars) on a planet i named WORLD. I assume i've to find an observatory now to be able to find this anomaly. I was just wondering what an observatory will do ? Link the stars to show the constellations ?
Anomaly seems quite hard to find. And it's the "side B", right ? Solving the anomaly = completing the game ? Which is the least obtained achievement.

Check out my guide linked above, covers much of your questions. The star artifact that activates an observatory star looks like a large rotating pillar and you'll soon see what it does.

A single circled star viewed from a non-observatory star's surface is, I believe, a nearby observatory planet but I cant seem to confirm this.

The anomaly star is often hard to find in a young season but you can be lucky. The quickest way to 'finish' would be to go to an old season and visit a known anomaly but that really would defeat the point and the joy of exploration.

As to being the lowest achievement score, the puzzle to solving the location of the anomaly issue is certainly not clearly signposted.

Yeah i checked your guide, but i was quite tired so i wasn't sure about seeing the constellations with the artefact / observatory.

Good to know there's probably an observatory nearby. About the quickest way to "finish", that's indeed not my intention. Let's find this observatory, and maybe this anomaly when i'll successfully locate it .

Well, i did it (to see the screen, mouse over black rect., scroll down and click).

Quite satisfying. It was quite hard to align the starmap to estimate where the anomaly should be. I never quite saw the constellations so i did otherwise by visiting some planets around that were named in the observatory and by showing the way i took from star to star. With it, i was able to put the map in +/- the same orientation than in the observatory. To sum up, when i considered i had enough i start exploring after i noted some names. The first one was the right one. I did failed before by travelling approximately without noting the names so i re-oriented the map correctly to note 9 names before travelling.

Starting on a fresh season was probably the best way to enjoy the game. I should have named the anomaly less obviously, but i was too kind :p.

NB : I named the observatory i found "OBSERV". And it looked like that (after i've explored them, cf. the names trigo1-4, nearby) :

Congratulations! Interesting the constellations don't link up to the anomaly on your OBSERV planet, haven't seen it do that before. Well done for working it out. The starmap is quite a headache to orientate with the starfield.

Yeah i tried several times to enter the observatory on my second and last visit but i never had the anomaly in a constellation like your screenshot in your guide. It added some difficulty ^^.

Also, the names displayed weren't always the same contrary to what i thought the first time i found the artefact.

/HS I didn't check but i wonder if a season has 100% completion.

[Solar]

100% for a season is all planets named.

[Harest]

Yeah i know, the 1000 planets named. I checked 1 hour ago when i launched the game to get the last 2 missing achievements and apparently yes, several seasons were 100% explored.

New objective : Completing all the previous seasons to 100% . I'm joking. Well, maybe not, who knows .
