Crimson Moon

What is the Crimson Moon?

The Crimson Moon is a random world event that can occur on any night. Each qualifying night rolls independently with a 20% chance of becoming a Crimson Moon - so on average you can expect one roughly every 5 nights, though the exact timing is never guaranteed and it can strike sooner or later without warning.

When the Crimson Moon rises, the rules of the night change entirely.

The “Crimson” Daily Tide

One day in the weekly Daily Tide rotation is named Crimson, and it multiplies tonight’s roll chance by 5x - effectively guaranteeing a Crimson Moon that night. See Daily Tides for when it’s due.

What changes during the event?

You cannot sleep. Beds will not work for the duration of the event. You must survive until morning.

Creature spawn rates are significantly increased. Both ordinary mobs and Beyonder Creatures appear far more frequently than usual - custom Beyonder Creature spawn rates are boosted roughly 2.5x for the duration. Do not underestimate the danger - what would normally be a quiet night can quickly become overwhelming.

Stay alert

The combination of no sleep and increased spawns makes the Crimson Moon one of the most dangerous times to be outside. Make sure you have armor, potions, and an escape route before nightfall if you plan to take advantage of this event.

Fishing during the Crimson Moon

One of the unique features of the Crimson Moon is that fishing becomes a source of Beyonder rewards. Cast your fishing rod into any body of water and you may pull up something unusual.

However, fishing during the Crimson Moon is not without risk.

You might fish out more than you bargained for

Alongside ingredients, you can also hook Beyonder mobs - creatures that will immediately attack you when reeled in. Always be ready to fight before you finish the cast.

Fishing loot table

Every catch during the event rolls independently, in this order:

Outcome	Chance	Notes
Hostile Beyonder mob	10%	Replaces the catch; attacks immediately when reeled in
Beyonder ingredient	15%	Replaces the catch; weighted toward common, low-Sequence ingredients, but rarer ones are possible
Normal fish	Remainder	An ordinary vanilla catch

Fishing during the Crimson Moon is a high-risk, high-reward activity - not recommended for new Beyonders who aren’t ready to fight what they catch.

Tips for surviving the Crimson Moon

• Stay near shelter - if things get out of hand, having a safe retreat is essential
• Fish in groups - if you catch a hostile creature, having backup can save your life
• Don’t fish alone at low Sequences - the mobs you can hook may be far above your current power level
• Use the increased spawns - if you need acting points or Beyonder drops, this is an excellent time to hunt creatures
