Notes

• Despite the Solar Eclipse taking place during the day, the Moon Stone does work during the event, so use this to your advantage when planning to battle tougher enemies.

Tips

• If you are lucky enough to obtain this accessory after defeating one of the Mechanical Bosses, it may prove useful during the remaining battles with them, as these take place at night.

Trivia

• The Moon Stone and its counterpart, the Sun Stone could be a reference to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, in which there are items with similar names, looks, and powers.
