Help. Glitch on Quantum Moon? Can't proceed (Spoilers)

[Plibbo64]

So I'm at the moon. I'm doing the tower thing. I need to get this tower to the north pole, but there's stuff in the way... So In trying to figure this out, I've looked at the guides, they say to move the tower to Hourglass Twins so you can proceed.

My problem is, the tower NEVER moves to hourglass twins no matter how many times I turn off the flashlight. But it will send me to the last icon/sixth location! The door is blocked with Quantum Shard looking rocks though, in that location. But again, it won't go to the Hourglass Twins location. Help.

Thanks.

Hmmm...sounds like you DO have a glitch if the moon isn't traveling to all six locations...

I don't have an answer so...let me assume ignorance here (sorry) before everyone else chimes in:

Flick your flashlight until you get to Giant's Deep. You'll be ankle deep in water.

That's the SECOND to last step you need to do.

I won't go on.

Lemme know how it works and feel free to friend and DM me for spoiler free hints!

Thanks. I don't know what the problem was, but on my next loop I no longer had the issue.

My only thought, other than glitch, is that it may have been late in the cycle and the sun had already expanded to a point where the Quantum Moon might not have been able to orbit the Hourglass Twins without moving into it.

Anyway, I talked to Solanum and learned a bit more about that spooky eye. It appears the last thing for me to do is put the warp core into the vessel, which means going back to Dark Bramble. Not again, too scary! Wish me luck!

That's the issue with guides, they just plot one way to do it and often don't understand why, there's actually a few combinations

You just want to start on a location that lets you get past the equator, Giant's Deep is ideal but Bramble also works
From there warp to a location that previously stopped you getting as far as the equator, e.g. the Twins, or Timber Hearth, now the North Pole is easily available

The theory that you can't warp to the twins after a certain point might be right, but glad it's sorted now

Geysers, I just like to look at geysers, AHEM! hinty hint. No multiple steps needed, solves it every time.
