FINIALLY!! After 3 days of trying, an insane amount of roll backs, and absolutely 0 armor in the end.
I BEAT CELESTIAL CHAMPION FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!
Don't worry I found out you had to mine it after a 30 minutes of searching.

(SPOILERS)
BRO, to think that I was complaining a while ago about the DST updates, yeah, the post-Celestial Champion and Post-Fuelweaver content gave us really powerful items, but then I wondered: WHEN am I going to use these items? Since Celestial Champion and Fuelweaver are like, the hardest bosses in the game, but these items you only access after defeating them, it would be nice if they added some bosses after the content of them.
And it's exactly what they did, Klei always big brain moment!

WX-78 and the Moon: A lore post
I know that I wanted to keep this blog fanart only, but I really wanna share this lore stuff somewhere that can hold a lot of words. So here it is :V
It’s really just an outline of an entire character arc for WX that I gleaned from the quotes, starting from 2016 to this year, 2021. Namely, their relationship with the “moon”:
2016
So in 2016, moon stuff was first introduced to DST.
moon wall = WELCOME TO THE WX-78 MOONBASE
moon dial = THE MOON IS INORGANIC AND GOOD
moon stone = MOONBASE. AAAAA. MOONBASE!
We are shown that WX seems to like the moon. We don’t really know why beyond it being something inorganic, something relatable for them. But why the moon specifically and not like, a normal rock?
2019-2020
In the Return of Them updates, we get a bunch of new moon things to have WX examine!
ancient moon statue = THE FLESHLINGS WISELY RECOGNIZED THE SUPERIORITY OF THE MOON
complete celestial altar = GIVE ME THE POWER OF THE MOON
celestial tribute = I AM STILL WAITING FOR MOON POWERS
"moon" figure = SOME ART IS OKAY
moon glass = THIS ROCK IS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER ROCKS
moon shard = DANGEROUSLY SHARP AND BRIGHT PUKE GREEN. I LOVE IT
We see that there is something special about the moon in particular that WX is drawn to. There is some sort of power from the moon. What is this power, and how does WX know about it?
2021: EYE OF THE STORM
To see Wagstaff get more involved in the plot of DST is simply electrifying. ESPECIALLY because we can finally see WX’s reaction to seeing their creator. And it is delicious.
wagstaff = YOU
reticulating buffer = ONE OF HIS TOOLS. I SHOULD JUST LEAVE IT
deflubber = WHY WOULD I HELP HIM
lunar siphonator = DON'T TRUST HIM, SISTER. DON'T EVER TRUST HIM
We don’t get to see what Wagstaff says to them (hopefully someday), but WX’s quotes say a LOT for what is there. Their insistence at informing the lunar siphonator of Wagstaff’s deceit suggests that at one time, WX must have trusted him too. Wagstaff must have done something very hurtful to WX, but what?? IMO, this might’ve been the origin of WX’s fleshling hatred.
Let’s get to the grand finale of Return of Them: The Celestial Champion fight
phase 1 = CRUSH THE ORGANICS! AHAHAHA! WAIT NO NOT ME
At first, they are happy to see the moon partaking in their favorite pastime, destroying organics. But it doesn’t go the way they thought. The champion targets them too. It does not discriminate.
phase 2 = OUR ALLIANCE WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE! STOP IGNORING ME!
Now we see that WX thought that the moon was a possible ally in the anti-organic cause. They thought the moon was an equal, but the champion does not care and carries on trying to destroy all the survivors.
phase 3 = IF YOU WILL NOT JOIN ME YOU WILL BE DESTROYED
ALTERGUARDIAN_PHASE3DEAD = "UNFORTUNATE. YOU COULD HAVE BEEN USEFUL",
And here we see WX renounces their reverence for the moon. WX is alone again. They had a chance at finding a like-minded individual in the moon but alas.
And as if it couldn’t get worse, in comes Wagstaff taking the energy left from defeating the champion.
essence extractor = THAT MOON POWER SHOULD BE MINE!
Not only did WX lose a possible equal, someone who did them dirty and thus lost all respect for takes the power they always wanted.
This has all been a bad time for WX in the end, but a great time for me because this is DELIGHTFUL character development! Can’t wait for their refresh...
