Starting the Perilous Moons Quest

The quest begins at the southern base of Ralos’ Rise, where you’ll meet Attala near the temple entrance. Here’s how to kick things off:

Step 1: Speak to Attala

Head to the southern side of Ralos’ Rise in Varlamore. If you’ve built a landing site via the Quetzal Transport System, use it to fast-travel to Cam Torum’s entrance. Speak to Attala to start the quest. She’ll task you with investigating the area.

Step 2: Defeat the Sulphur Nagua

Climb the rocks to the northeast (requires 47 Agility) or take the long route up Ralos’ Rise. At the southeast ledge, kill the Sulphur Nagua (level 98). It’s weak to melee, so bring a decent weapon. Return to Attala after defeating it.

Step 3: Enter Cam Torum

Cross the drawbridge into Cam Torum and head north. Attempt to speak with Jessamine, but a guard will interrupt. Find Jessamine in the northern part of the city and talk to her to proceed.

Exploring Neypotzli Dungeon

After entering the Neypotzli dungeon through the northern entrance in Cam Torum, the real adventure begins. This section involves setting up camps and gathering ritual items.

Step 4: Set Up Campsites

In the antechamber, speak to Attala, Zuma, and Jessamine in that order. Grab a hammer, saw, and three building supplies from the crate west of Jessamine. Build three campsites in the dungeon’s corners (Streambound Cavern, Earthbound Cavern, Ancient Prison) using these supplies.

Step 5: Collect Ritual Items

Eyatlalli, a nagua, appears when you click a talisman at the right spot, revealing Neypotzli as a prison for the Moons of Peril. After she disappears, gather the following:

Moonlight Grub Paste: Collect a moonlight grub from the grubby sapling in Streambound Cavern and grind it with a pestle and mortar.
Moss Lizard Tail: Set a lizard trap by the black rocks in Earthbound Cavern with rope, catch a moss lizard, and use a knife to get the tail.
Bream Scales: Catch a raw bream in Streambound Cavern with a big fishing net and use a knife to extract scales.

Return to Eyatlalli in the central antechamber with these items.

Facing the Moons of Peril

The climax of the quest involves defeating the three Moons of Peril—Blood Moon, Blue Moon, and Eclipse Moon—to aid Eyatlalli’s ritual. Each boss has unique mechanics and weaknesses.

Boss Fight Mechanics

Each Moon is in its own chamber, surrounded by moon-shaped circles. Stand in the highlighted circle (Eyatlalli’s protection) to avoid rapid damage (1 per tick, doubling to 16). The circle moves clockwise, triggering special attacks at full/new moon phases. Protection prayers don’t work, and the bosses are immune to poison/venom.

Blood Moon (Weak to Slash)

Special Attack: Heals itself during certain phases—focus on high DPS to outpace its healing.
Recommended Gear: Dragon scimitar or whip, Barrows armor for defense.

Blue Moon (Weak to Crush)

Special Attack: Freezes you in place—move quickly to the next safe circle.
Recommended Gear: Rune mace or granite hammer, tanky gear like Torag’s.

Eclipse Moon (Weak to Stab)

Special Attack: Summons clones—stay in the safe circle to minimize damage.
Recommended Gear: Dragon dagger or Zamorakian hasta, high stab accuracy gear.

Tip: Fight them in any order, but start with your strongest melee style to conserve resources. After each fight, you’re teleported to a campsite to prepare for the next.

Quest Completion and Rewards

Once all three Moons are defeated, return to Eyatlalli to finish the ritual. Completing the quest counts as a normal Moons of Peril run, letting you loot the Lunar Chest.

Quest Rewards

Reward	Description
2 Quest Points	Standard quest completion points.
Access to Moons of Peril	Unlocks the repeatable boss encounter.
Lunar Chest Loot	Includes Blood Moon (melee), Blue Moon (magic), and Eclipse Moon (ranged) armor sets.

Post-Quest Tips

Grind the Moons of Peril: The bosses drop valuable armor sets, ideal for PvP and mid-tier PvM.
Use Campsites: Gather food (cooked moss lizards or bream) and potions in Neypotzli for future runs.
Optimize Gear: Upgrade to Barrows or better for faster kills post-quest.
