How to Solve Lunar Puzzle in Atomic Heart

You will encounter this Lunar Puzzle during the She Sells Moustache on a Seashore quest. This statue has three missing canisters, and it is found on the second level of the great hall, the same one where you are tasked with finding all of Claire’s body parts. If you find this puzzle familiar, early in the game, you already solve one of these. The difference is that this one is completely optional. And yes, of course we will want to solve this.

Square Canister Location

The first canister can be found just in front of the statue. Turn around, and you will find the square canister just lying on top of the red flowers next to the rail.

Triangle Canister Location

Opposite to the circle canister, go upstairs, and you will be on a chamber with a peaceful robot. Well, not for long. Once you collect the triangle canister that is on the floor, several flying robots, alongside the peaceful robot, will attack you. Dispose them all and then return to the lunar statue.
