Quick Answer
Get fire from the green dragon in MONOMOON. Your moon keeps its fire after death from another cause, provided it is still burning when you die. Burning has a time limit; a later item ignites every fire pedestal across the map.
Where do you get fire?
Fire comes from the green dragon. Use that source when you need a burning moon. For the wider item overview, see the MONOMOON upgrades and items.
Does fire survive death, and how long does it last?
Fire survives death from another cause if your moon is still burning when you die. You respawn with the fire, so death does not automatically remove it.
Burning your soul has a time limit. Treat carrying fire and keeping it burning as separate concerns: respawning preserves fire, but burning remains time-limited.
Keep the fire burning until the death you use for repositioning. The respawn rule applies when you die from another cause while the fire is still burning.
How do you bring the moon into 14-18?
Die beside 14-18 and respawn in 13-18 to bring your moon into 14-18. Your moon can enter your current room only from an adjacent room. The death location matters because the moon needs that adjacency.
Get fire from the green dragon
Obtain fire from the green dragon for a burning moon.
Die beside 14-18
Die in a room adjacent to 14-18. Use another cause of death while the fire is still burning to retain it after respawning.
Respawn in 13-18
Respawn in 13-18 with the fire retained.
Bring the moon into 14-18
Enter 14-18 and move your moon into the room from its adjacent room.
For help reading room coordinates, use the MONOMOON elevator puzzle guide.
Why won't the moon enter your room?
Your moon cannot enter your current room unless it is in an adjacent room. For 14-18, use the adjacent death location and the 13-18 respawn described above. Respawning elsewhere does not replace that adjacency requirement.
How do you light every fire pedestal?
A later item ignites all fire pedestals across the map. Keep exploring to find it. For help with other progression obstacles, continue with the MONOMOON walkthrough.
