A group of players fighting the Blue Moon of Peril.

The Moons of Peril are three nagua imprisoned in Neypotzli, a prison located beneath Cam Torum. Aimed at mid-level players of at least level 75 combat, the Moons of Peril is heavily inspired by the Barrows.

During the time of the Old Ones, the Moons of Peril were summoned by a powerful shaman facing imminent death, and wished to inflict the same on others. Her companions disapproved, and created Neypotzli to imprison her and the three nagua, and summoned Eyatlalli, a nagua of earth and stream, to keep them in check.

The Moons of Peril are popular for mid-level players due to their fairly generous rewards (especially for ironmen) and the armour sets, particularly the blood moon set, being a stepping stone to Bandos armour due to having comparable stats to it.

Fighting the Moons of Peril requires having completed the Perilous Moons quest, which acts as an introduction to Neypotzli and the bosses.

Ironmen are eligible for rewards from the Lunar Chest when defeating the Moons of Peril alongside other players.

Fight overview

The player's trip into Neypotzli begins in the antechamber, expanding outwards along three accessible entrances. Each of these - the Streambound Cavern, Earthbound Cavern, and the Ancient Prison - have different resources where players can create food and potions that are more powerful than even the best found outside; as such, it is highly recommended to gather supplies from within these caverns rather than bringing in supplies from outside. Campsites around the three areas will also have supply crates that store the required tools to gather resources, and cooking stoves to cook food and fully restore run energy.

Once the player is ready, they can proceed to face the Moons of Peril; the three bosses share a unique mechanic where their basic attack will hit three times, each dealing more damage than the last; however, if one hit misses, the remainder will as well. This means having good defence bonuses will result in less damage taken overall. Protection prayers will not do anything against any of their attacks.

While they can be fought by multiple players simultaneously, the boss' health is tied to individual players, meaning each player will effectively have to deal all damage on their own. Additionally, each Moon of Peril has a lower defence bonus against a specific melee style:

Rewards

Like the Barrows, the rewards players earn are based on how many Moons of Peril are subdued. After defeating at least one moon boss the Lunar Chest can be looted.

Note: Using a piece of the Blood, Blue, or Eclipse moon equipment on Eyatlalli will give the option to sacrifice it for a chance at another equipment roll. The rate is not yet confirmed, and players can receive the same item they gambled.
