That’s fair. I haven’t done the puzzle in a while, so I’ll go check in Patch 9, but I seem to recall some room for interpretation in the first two clues.

The mural could be oriented either way in the room. The beam of light could match the top or the bottom of the mural, for all I know. Also, I don’t remember the journal saying the black moons match the beam of light, just that the moons need to move around.

As for the last clue about the Selunite’s mission, I like it. It make in-world sense, but it needs to be reinforced a lot to overcome basic human intuition about light. I was confused for a long time by the existence of two goddesses of night, so it would be helpful to players like me if the important lore minutia was more salient.

If memory serves, the journal mentions how the maker of the puzzle is worried it won’t be enough to keep intruders out. It could also mention the Selunite mission statement as a clue about dark moons and light.

Maybe it does? It’s worth investigating.
