It can be random but you can force it by activating a newt alter, which looks like a rock with spiky blue grass growing from under it. I am not sure if there is always a newt alter, but there are particular spots it can appear. Check YouTube video or eleswhere for exact locations.

The blue orb can either spawn on its own (rare) or you can spawn it yourself by interacting with a Newt Altar.

Once the orb is spawned, complete the teleporter event and then the portal will appear close to the teleporter. Using it will send you to the place you're looking for.

and to add that each level has 2-3 places that the newt altar can spawn in. sometimes it just doesn't spawn but other times up to two can spawn.

Each level has 2-3 places newt altars can spawn in, and each level has some newt altar spawns that are harder to get to which will *always* be there. Probably the easiest to get to would be the one in abandoned aqueduct inside the skill up above the canyon part of the map. Just walk on up the hill.

yeah honestly i've never had a problem with them not spawning on abandoned aqueduct. but i have notice that distant roots has like the lowest spawn rate for them, well for me at least i honestly couldn't tell you the amount of times that i've gone there and zip xD i also have a difficult time with the ones in abyssal depths.
thank you all.

I've experienced the same. I wonder if it's possible for the altar to spawn behind a shut cave door or on the small island when there is no bridge? At least that would explain why I more often than not do not encouter an altar on Distant Roost.

Newlt altars don't follow the same rule as loot and shrines, they'll spawn even if the place is inaccessible until you get enough mobility and jumps.
Happens in abyssal depths as well.
got the charc, on my first spawn i was able to buy it off blue thing that you can find random area on the map so big thanks for helping and all. great community.

Hm, guess it doesn't matter much considering you never need to go to the bazaar every stage.

I mean there's a lot of shrines that always spawn relatively out of the map. You sure you're not just encountering those, as opposed to the ones that'd randomly spawn?

I used shrines as an example other than loot (chests), I could have said printers or I could've listed most of the interactables. Never seen shrines relatively out of the map though, what do you mean?

So as I mentioned above there's some shrines that will *always* spawn, but they're generally outside of the map.
Here's the one in abandoned aqueduct...

And here's the one that always spawns in Scorched Acres.

Hard to tell from the picture exactly where we are, so here's a pic of me looking in on the stage from the same spot.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2018179957
It's on one of the big hills outside the stage, as you can see. In both of these spots I've shown, they're considered out of the map so enemies won't spawn.
These newt shrines always spawn, and generally don't replace other shrines.
I know there's other maps a newt shrine will *always* spawn in outside of the map too. Rallypoint delta has one, but I got scorched acres in my quick run just now. Hard to say whether it was for testing or as a neat easter egg. With Hopoo's track record I'm inclined to say easter egg, though.
Did it on loader cuz movement for days.

I'm curious because afaik loot, shrines, and interactables won't spawn in blocked off areas. Could've just been my luck, but I checked out distant roost's areas (I got lucky and both that could be blocked off were) and neither had loot. Neither had shrines either, but one run doesn't show that they never spawn in blocked off areas lol. Enemies could still spawn, though.

Oh this is a misunderstanding! By shrines I mean anything but the newt altars, so like shrine of chance, shrine of combat, shrine of the mountain. Yes, those shrines cannot spawn in blocked off areas or outside of the playable area, but the newt altars specifically can.

If you go to the island of Distant Roost A, the area behind the door in Distant Roost B or even the caves in Abyssal Depths you'll be able to find altars even if the bridge didn't generate or the doors are shut.

Sorry if my phrasing was confusing, I typed my original message on my phone and I cannot stand small keyboards so I tend to be less descriptive and wordy.

Good info to know, thanks.

Edit: Got a screenshot of it!
