The Moon Stone is a Hardmode accessory which has a 2.86% / 4.29% (1/35 / 1/23) chance to drop from Vampires during the Solar Eclipse event. It grants the same stat bonuses as the Sun Stone, but these bonuses will only activate during the night or during a Solar Eclipse.

Notes[]

  • Despite the Solar Eclipse taking place during the day, the Moon Stone does work during the event. This is likely because the moon is out during the Solar Eclipse

Trivia[]

  • The Moon Stone and its counterpart, the Sun Stone, could be a reference to the platform-adventure action role-playing game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. There are two items with very similar names, looks, and effects in the game: Moonstone and Sunstone.
    • Futhermore, the main character of the game, Alucard, is a Dhampir, which are the product of a human parent, and a vampire parent, and the item is dropped by the Vampire enemy, which could reference Alucard's father, Dracula.
  • Despite the fact that this item is obtained from the Vampire enemy, its counterpart, the Sun Stone, is obtained from the Golem boss.

History[]

  • Desktop 1.4.0.1: No longer stacks with the Celestial Shell, Celestial Stone, and Sun Stone.
