I know of one... But first, you must surrender information you have on you. You said you know of a "Kraken Devil Temple"...?

I'm looking for tips on *how to find them*

OK, some pointers in ... uh... point form:

• Holding an orbit just above 20k (sea level, not ground) will let you use higher warp speeds for visual scanning, and stay within the 30km render range of the anomaly.  If you're too low, your max warp will be limited to 4x which is too slow for realistic scanning of fully unknown terrain
• If the body you're searching rotates on its axis relatively quickly, a polar orbit will let you cover the most ground without having to adjust your orbit.
• If the body you're searching is tidally locked, you'll need to come up with an orbital pattern that lets you cover the whole surface visually without orbiting hundreds or thousands of times.   I still recommend a polar orbit with normal or anti-normal burns at the pole following each orbit - just bring tons of extra propellant.
• If the body has an atmosphere, scanning at low altitude is going to be a heck of a job.  It may involve body-specific fixed-wing craft or other kinds of inventive solutions.  Moving within an atmosphere is of course *much* slower, so ... yeah.  Good luck lol.
• A few of the anomalies are visible in the dark, many are not.  It's best to focus your scans on the lit side only as you'll never be sure if you're missing something in the dark.

Happy hunting!

In the Alt-F8 cheat menu, you can teleport to specific coordinates on a celestial body. I wish there were a way to navigate to specific coordinates without cheats, but I assume that kind of thing is coming as a QoL update at some point down the line.

Are there any current KSP2 mods that provide real time coordinates?  Micro Engineer?

EDIT: Micro Engineer does have a lat/long position readout under the Surface tab

Man, what an ordeal.  Saw nothing from orbit, but deorbited over roughly the right Mun coordinates posted above.  Still see nothing.  Landed pretty close by the numbers, but still see nothing anywhere.  Val goes on EVA, and the entire lander falls over sideways (KI) and breaks a landing leg.  Val runs 5km hunting all over, saving jetpack fuel, watching the location to try getting closer on foot.  Finally, she spots the thing.  It's small - tucked into a crater, absolutely impossible to spot from orbit, or even from 0.5 km away on the ground.  You have to be right on top of it to even see it.  Lander launches suborbital, trying to get its experiment package inside the tiny biome for the sweet science.  Burned a lot of fuel maneuvering, accidentally hitting full throttle in the wrong direction, but finally got there and after nearly crashing five times - landed just outside the biome circle (at 8m/s but didn't explode) then promptly tipped over.  So, what the hell, it's already on its side, I rolled it closer and inside the circle and came to rest with the damaged spacecraft...

Spoiler

leaning against the Mun-Or-Bust crashed spacecraft from the KSP1 loading screen.  How appropriate!  KSP1 load screen music starts playing softly in the background.  Exact location: 12 deg 17’49” S, 139 deg 46’54” W, or -12.296944 X / -139.781667 Y by the odd decimal convention used elsewhere here.

Victory!  Val boards, we pirouette around for a while, and get the craft upright on the three unbroken legs with reaction wheel torque.  Launch, burn hard for the western horizon on bingo fuel, get a 8km AP.  Skim 100m over some mountain ridges.  Burn at AP, and clunk out at -1000m PE.  Try to finish on RCS but nothing comes out.  Spend some time frantically reconfiguring thrusters in part manager while altitude is plummeting.  Fortunately Pe is over a large maria.  I get the thrusters set up (they were set for docking translation only, at low power), a quick off-axis maneuver to get the Pe +2000m, and 4x warp through practically scraping the Munar surface.  Finally get to AP, and am just able to circularize on RCS with only a single thruster firing prograde on H.  Never did figure out why only one.  Now, the crew settle in for rescue in a relatively safe 15km orbit.

This was the most kerbal mission I've had in a long time.  The bugs in this case played exact like gamified part failures.  Absolutely loving it
