The Black Moon resembles an ophanim-like creature with three rings surrounding the main sphere, each with one eye with the central eye located on a track on the shell. Every time Shadow collects a red jewel that resembles the Black Arms' logo, the Black Moon grows many appendages emerging from its shell.
Overview[]
The Black Moon is located around the middle area in Shadow's side of White Space. Black Doom seems to rest inside the Moon.
As Shadow explores White Space and gains new abilities, the Black Moon will "grow" as well. Shadow can pick up a jewel-like object that resembles the Black Arms logo during the Doom Zone after hitting Doom's Eye. If a level is passed when collecting a black arms emblem, the jewel will fly to the Black Moon, opening the eyes on the outer ring. As Shadow defeats the bosses from his past, the shell of the Black Moon cracks and tentacles pop out, as this happens Black Moon's appearance will become more reddish.
The Black Moon becomes "perfect" when Shadow claims the Doom Wing ability. Once the mysterious sphere enters its final phase, a ray of dark red light is shot into the sky, turning White Space into a blood-red Doom Zone. A part of the shell from the top of the Moon dissolves, revealing a portal that will lead Shadow to the corrupted Radical Highway, where Black Doom waits.
When Black Doom is destroyed by Shadow, the Black Moon explodes, being destroyed along the way.
The Black Moon does not affect the gameplay until after Shadow claims the Doom Wing ability. After this, Black Doom turns the White Space into Doom Zone, which will turn most of the boss battles into a Hard Mode counterpart. In addition, some additional Challenge Act Gates, which lead Shadow to harder versions of certain Challenges, appear as well.
After the final battle has been cleared for once, a small statue-like device that resembles Black Moon will appear in the center of White Space. Interacting the object can let Shadow activate and deactivate Doom Zone.
Trivia[]
The Black Moon will constantly follow the player as they move around the White Space, even if Chaos Control is used.
While the Black Moon is the entrance to Radical Highway in the Doom Zone, the stage itself doesn't exactly have a White Space model. Although, the bridge and platforms surrounding the entrance could be considered that.
