The Ziggurat is a structure on Europa affiliated with the Pyramids. It was released by the Pyramid on Europa, and self-assembled into a stepped pyramidal structure embedded in the ice. Atop the central platform of the Ziggurat are several Stasis Locks, which are broken by The Guardian using a Splinter of Darkness to unlock the power of Stasis.

According to Clovis Bray I, the Ziggurat (or a similar structure) has been present in the system since the Golden Age, as he used his former staff to create a simulation trial based on a much larger iteration of the Ziggurat.

Trivia

• A Ziggurat is a Mesopotamian building of worship, built as a platform upon which Mesopotamian cultures believed the gods dwelt. It was normally a large rectangular foundation, upon which multiple buildings would be constructed for individual purposes. Throughout history, these buildings would either be demolished or incorporated into foundations to raise the Ziggurat even higher, with a new set of buildings built on top of this extension. This would persist for many hundreds of years, allowing archaeologists to discover the different periods of civilization in the first cities formed by humans, starting from 6000 BC onwards.
