Unsure how to progress after getting to Look to the moon

[codyle]

hello, ive made it to the look to the moon location and visited the alien at the end of the section. Once i got there i didn't see any way to interact with them so I exited the room to see the objective guy pointing me towards the things above her head, i went back and ate a few but then it threatened me so I didn't save the game and reset to the previous save.
I tried to destroy the machine the alien was attached to and also tried giving them things but nothing happened.
figured that id get a new objective once i left the area since i couldn't do anything but when i tried it pointed me back to them. im sure im missing something here but i don't know what to do.
im trying to stay spoiler free so i thought asking here would be better than looking on google, can anyone help me with this?

There's another area Iggy (objective guy) wants you to go to now. I think he's using the icon of those things, but pointing another way, right? Go that way. Or Iggy might atually check for you to grab one of them (without eating) before he proceeds to point to the next ojective.

For a more detailed description of the path (be wary of spoilers on area names and how to get to them):

From Shoreline, go to Shaded Citadel. This can be accomplished by generally going up where you can.
When there, look for Memory Crypts. This is a sub-area and is found pretty far down in the region. When here there's a more or less linear section that guarantees you won't miss the objective.

I can confirm that this is not required.

That sentence was actually based on nothing. I was just trying to think of a scenario in which Iggy would point back to LTTM after already being there.

I see. I think OP was referring to the images "Iggy" shows you after you meet the creature in LTTM, which could be interpreted as a sign to go back to the creature, if the one seeing those images doesn't stay around long enough to see "Iggy" point to a new direction. (At least i think they start pointing to a new direction right after those images?)

Ah I see. Now I recall what's going on here. Thanks for clearing that up, I was really confused for some reason. I think Iggy is supposed to show those pictures and then point another direction, as you suggested. Idk though it was a while ago I went there before the other place.
