The Celestial Portal is the only way to reach A Moment, Fractured and the Obelisk. It spawns automatically on every Stage 3 after your first loop. It is required for obliterating, unlocking Mercenary, earning Mastery skins, and farming Lunar Coins with Beads of Fealty. You can skip it if you are not ready.
Loop at least once by aligning the Primordial Teleporter to the planet on Stage 5. See the looping guide if needed.
Reach Stage 3 of any loop (Stage 8, 13, 18, 23...). When you arrive, a Celestial Orb will appear circling the teleporter. This is your signal.
Complete the teleporter event normally - kill the boss and charge the teleporter. After it completes, the Celestial Portal spawns next to the teleporter.
Enter the Celestial Portal instead of the regular teleporter. You arrive in A Moment, Fractured.
Follow the glowing blue path between each floating island downward. The Obelisk is on the final island at the bottom.
The Celestial Portal is not rare or random. It appears on every Stage 3 of every loop after your first. If you miss it or skip it, it returns on the next Stage 3. You do not need to rush or stress about catching it.
Any Stage 3 environment can host the Celestial Portal. Which one you get depends on the run's stage rotation.
The code for the Artifact of Vengeance is hidden under the ground in the A Moment, Fractured environment log model. It is the only environment log in the game that contains an artifact code.
You are never forced to obliterate. A continue portal spawns near the Obelisk when you approach it. Choose based on your goals for the run.
Interact with the Obelisk twice. Run ends. Each player gets 5 Lunar Coins. First time: unlocks Mercenary and the Beads of Fealty item. On Monsoon: completes Mastery challenge for your survivor.
Any player holding Beads of Fealty redirects obliteration to A Moment, Whole. Fight one of four Twisted Scavengers. Kill it for 10 Lunar Coins. Defeating it on Monsoon still counts as Mastery.
Approaching the Obelisk spawns a continue portal nearby. Enter it to leave A Moment, Fractured without obliterating. Return to the normal stage loop. The Celestial Portal will appear again on the next Stage 3.
You can ignore the Celestial Portal entirely and use the regular teleporter. The portal disappears when you advance to the next stage. It reappears on the next Stage 3 in the loop.
The Celestial Portal is one of six portal types in RoR2. Each leads to a different hidden realm or outcome.
The Celestial Portal is a portal that leads to A Moment, Fractured, a hidden realm containing the Obelisk. It is the only way to obliterate and unlock Mercenary. It spawns on Stage 3 of every loop (Stage 8, 13, 18...) after you have looped at least once.
Loop at least once by aligning the Primordial Teleporter to the planet on Stage 5. Then reach Stage 3 of the next loop. A Celestial Orb will appear circling the teleporter when you arrive. Complete the teleporter event and the Celestial Portal spawns next to it.
The Celestial Portal can appear on any Stage 3 environment: Rallypoint Delta or Scorched Acres in the base game, Sulfur Pools with Survivors of the Void DLC, and Iron Alluvium with Alloyed Collective DLC. It always appears on the third stage of every completed loop.
Yes. You can ignore it and use the regular teleporter to advance. You can also enter A Moment, Fractured and use the continue portal near the Obelisk to leave without obliterating. The Celestial Portal reappears on the next Stage 3 after the next loop.
Yes, on every Stage 3 after your first loop. Stage 8, 13, 18, 23, and so on. It is not random - it is guaranteed on every Stage 3 post-loop as long as a Celestial Orb appeared on that stage.
A Moment, Fractured is the hidden realm accessible through the Celestial Portal. It consists of floating islands in a void connected by a glowing blue path. The Obelisk is at the bottom of the island chain. The Artifact of Vengeance code is also hidden in the environment log model here.
If any player is holding Beads of Fealty and chooses to obliterate at the Obelisk, everyone is teleported to A Moment, Whole instead of ending the run. You fight one of four Twisted Scavengers. Defeating it on Monsoon still counts for Mastery challenges and rewards 10 Lunar Coins.
