Just adding this as to the Gold Orb (the final one we were looking for): You do NOT need to be wearing the UNDERSUN goggles to encounter it or get it. I encountered it last night soon after it was revealed on Arcanaverse's stream WITHOUT the Undersun goggles equipped. So, just tossing that bit of info in here. I did have them in inventory, but NOT equipped.

you don't even need them in your inventory. I went in there without them completely and got the golden orb
But the slimes aren’t.

I would've guessed new raid, but Steelstar was kind of enough to let us know that nothing about this secret is in future content. We can find everything now.
This emblem is weird in more ways that BTC. It won't got in a bag.. can't double click it.. can't slot it. won't go in the fetid cauldron.. so all signs are pointing towards it being used at the Sealed Altar (where that thing is) and trading it/crafting with it. But guessing since it doesn't go in a bag.. that we likely need to have it on us to "find/do the thing"
Very mysterious.

I'm so happy you had the fortitude I did not... was in there for hours (multiple times) scouring the underdark inbetween other ideas... and even after you showed me the location I had so much trouble finding it.... and I don't think I can blame the sleep deprivation haha.
So thank you and thank you for sharing1

Added this Sealed Altar clues to the main post:
What Clues do we have to find the Sealed Altar?
Take theses with a grain of salt. Its early days.

So, piecing together threads of lore...
Juiblex appears to be making Muck into one of their Avatars. So anything Muck or Juiblex related seems to be in play here.
Durk's Got a Secret = Muck's spawn location.
The Pit = housed the Avatar of Juiblex as well as a host of Troglodyte Juiblex cultists.
If it Wasn't for Bad Luck = We find some gnome scoffing at the other sect Juiblex followers been trying to assemble an Avatar. This is most likely referring to the Pit
To my knowledge so far, the only other place where Juiblex has a focus is the Fetid Wedding.. but more as a foil to Zuggutmuy. Still there could be other clues left to find. NPC dialogue, flavor text... weird sections of the map.. who knows, keep an eye out seekers!
So what does that tell us?
Not much.. been over those quests a ton and never noticed any Altar's sealed or otherwise that were special. So we're likely missing a clue still or we need to make some leaps of logic using meta knowledge.
What kind of Meta Knowledge?
Well, the Jellysight is an oddly special item that likely have some significance. Step's puzzle required special goggles to see the altar. And while I have been running around mostly with those goggles on... I have the legendary version which the overlay doesn't work. (working on acquiring a heroic set).
Odds are the Altar is in the new content. It just makes the most sense to put the Altar somewhere in the new content just like Steps. Alternate options are the 3 main quests listed above.
Most crafting/trade 'Altars' are in a 'safe place' or in places that aren't too hard to be made safe so people aren't constantly attacked while trying to craft.
The emblem itself is weird, it doesn't go into a bag like a normal crafting ingredient. Could be a bug or could be required to see/use/unseal the Altar. Possibly in combo with Jellysight... The same could be said for Muck's Ascension itself to I suppose.
Steelstar was also kind of enough to let us know that everything we need currently exists. If I interpret his messages correctly, no need to wait for the raid or the unreleased quest.

My bet is the Slime Goggles help us find and/or see the Sealed Altar. But where to look to find or see? Hmmm. They just don't add something so visually unique in game without a reason. I feel this is Step's goggles adjacent. So, just look over all the new content with those goggles on, every area you can find, even spots that might look physical, but you can pass through. I did a pass over the new public area and completely checked all of the quest If It Wasn't For Bad Luck with the goggles on. Nothing.

Related, like a cousin?
Quick someone take the Slime Emblem, Muck's Ascension, and Jellysight into Searing Heights to see Guck <Muck's Cousin>.
Maybe wear the goggles and kill Guck with the club for good measure.

Fair, but counter point... Lolth in DDO lore is the catalyst to this entire expansion and Lolth also is the reason we have a bridge between FR and Eberron. Making us one world.
Agree. I mentioned that I thought CiTW would have something to do with the final piece in the other thread.

Transcript for those unable to view:
all things in time do wear away
the altar hastens their decay
a place outside of time it lies
but visible by mortal eyes
a closer look at corners new
patience brings it into view
