Notes

• Despite the Solar Eclipse taking place during the day, the Moon Stone does work during the event.

Tips

• The accessory may prove useful during the battles with the mechanical bosses, since these take place at night.
• An easier/faster way to get the Moon Stone is by placing a Water Candle or consuming the Battle Potion because the Blood Moon and Solar Eclipse does not have a set spawn rate.

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.
• Despite the fact that this item is obtained from the Vampire enemy, it's counterpart, the Sun Stone, is obtained from the Golem boss.
