Capstone for an Odyssey

Only after collecting at least 500 Power Moons will the Odyssey be powerful enough to land here, deep in vast Culmina Crater. This region is a devious treat, and contains the pinnacle of many kinds of challenges from throughout the game. Retain some surprise and try not to read this chapter before you need a helping hand!

Moon Mysteries

When you look up inside the caverns you may see deposits that look like the cubic Moon Rocks. Were the rocks that fell planetside originally formed here?

One Serious Crater

This giant crater was formed by a huge meteor collision long ago. The impact destroyed the civilization that flourished on the moon, which is how Culmina Crater came to be. The crater itself is so massive, you cannot see the bottom.

Seeing the Bright Side

From her you can observe galaxies shining in ways you never could from home. Culmina Crater features vistas entirely unique from those you can find on the Dark Side of the Moon and Honeylune Ridge. If you’re feeling down or disheartened, just take a look up at the Milky Way from here. You can see each star twinkle as they nestle close to one another.

It will all be OK—you are not alone.

Three Keys to the Kingdom
  1. See the mysterious building that so closely resembles New Donk City Hall.
  2. Reach the far recesses of the giant cavern where none dare tread.
  3. Test your skills as a hardened tourist one last time.
A Bewildering Building

This colossal building stands in Culmina Crater. If you look closely, it seems to resemble the city hall in New Donk City. According to researchers, it might be one of the last remnants of the civilization that once flourished on the moon. But with little evidence, this theory lacks credibility.

A Lone Pipe in a Crater

This is the only pipe that connects to the lunar interior. If you find it, we don’t recommend jumping right in. What awaits is a trial so harsh, it lives up to the name Culmina Crater.

Of course, if you have the confidence of a traveler who has done everything else the world has to offer, give it a shot! Overcome this, and adventurers the world over will sing your praises.

Inside the Moon

A lava zone spreads throughout this giant cavern. What waits ahead? How far does it go? These answers await those brave enough to enter this unknown, unexplored world.
