Using checkpoint 25% allows this to be grabbed easily. Once you start, you can backtrack just barely to the path that brought us forward. Find a hidden path to the left, and follow the ramp to the collectible.

I've collected this one but the achievement didn't pop. Tried going back to an earlier checkpoint but when I get to this area the Moon Ancestor isn't there to release.

Relatively early in the game, you will be working with a portal that lets you place either an orange orb or a green orb into the middle and you can then jump in.

As part of the main story progression, you will first need to place the orange orb into the center and jump into the portal taking the green orb with you. This will allow you to unlock a robot companion.

Now, return back and swap the orbs around in the portal: place the green orb in the centre then jump in with the orange orb. Everything up to this point, I believe, is core progression.

Now in the green portal, head north and use the orange orb to light up the path. Whilst on this orange path, take the first left turn. This path is semi hidden by the rock and will lead to the Moon Ancestor.

(In the capture, I had already released the Moon Ancestor but this will take you to the correct location)

This Moon Ancestor can be found at the 25% mark.

This one is quite easy to see, but from this point, take the orange orb down onto the orange path, and you'll very soon come to a path to the left (from your perspective) that is partially obscured by a column. Head left to find this Ancestor.
