Eye of the Universe
Outer Wilds guide · The final destination
← All areas in this guide
The Eye of the Universe is reached by warping aboard the Nomai Vessel using coordinates entered into the warp core interface. Upon arrival, you navigate a stormy quantum surface, jump into the vortex at the South Pole, and gather your fellow travelers around a campfire in an abstract forest space. Playing a final song with the ensemble collapses quantum possibilities to birth a new universe, triggering the end of the game.
