Zone Information

The Sunwall Observatory is a zone in the Embers of Rage campaign. The primary objective of the quest Stargazers is to destroy this observatory. The observatory is located at the peak of a mountain. As well as observing the stars, the observatory also produces sun and moon orbs, which help to defend the Gates of Morning.

The goal of the quest Stargazers is to destroy the observatory - if aiming for the An Other Brick In The Wall Achievement, the quest must not be completed before The Deconstruction of Falling Stars.

The first floor is a long canyon (150x24 tiles) populated by various wildlife, serving as a path into the mountain. Somewhere along the canyon, there will be a narrow side path that leads to the entrance of the Ruined Cave, a small area that allows the player to store items and customize their appearance.

The second floor (70x70 tiles) is the caverns inside the mountain, below the observatory. It has a cavern layout and is home to the Astral-Infused Yeti, which will drop yeti meat for the Mystery of the Yetis quest. The yeti is sealed inside a vault, so it can be easily avoided until the player is ready to fight it.

The final floor is the observatory itself, in the open air on top of the mountain. It is a small area with a fixed layout and five boss Star Gazers. The entrance to this floor is well sheltered from the bosses by trees. The bosses can also be engaged individually with the aid of this terrain and careful positioning. When all five Star Gazers die, the quest Stargazers will be completed (even if it hasn't been started yet). If all five Star Gazers die within 7 game turns of the first Star Gazer's death, the player will earn the achievement Blood on the Moon.
