Three melee bosses in Neypotzli (Cam Torum): Eclipse (stab), Blue (crush) and Blood (slash). Protection prayers do NOT work: you survive by standing on the glowing glyph and dodging their specials. Food and potions are made inside.

⚠→🚫

Eyatlalli's glyph

Outside specials, stand on the glowing sigil or take damage that doubles every tick. Rotates every 2 attacks.

→🚫

Triple hit

3 hits of 4, 8 and 20; if one misses the rest miss. Steel Skin, Ultimate Strength and Incredible Reflexes. 4-tick weapon = 3 hits per cycle.

⚠→🚫

Eclipse Moon

Rays: walk behind the moon shield as it rotates. Clones: you are bound in the centre; click to face each clone as it spawns to parry and counter with 100% accuracy (slow, hard-hitting weapon).

⚠→🚫

Blue Moon

Weapon freeze: punch the blue block unarmed (2 hits then move off the shards). Frost storm: relight the 2 braziers or she heals up to 100.

⚠→🚫

Blood Moon

Heals from all damage she deals to you. Blood rain: step off the pools. Jaguars: 8 cleave 2 tiles in front; dodge and hit them to heal up to 25 HP.

⚠→🚫

Curse of the Moons

Each hit adds stacks: Eclipse makes your attacks glance, Blue cancels your attack at 18 stacks. Clears when you kill each moon.

1. Cam Torum (Calcified moth or Quetzal), enter to the north. In the Streambound Cavern make Moonlight potions (grubs + pestle) and fish bream.
2. Eclipse Moon to the south: stab. Keep a slow weapon for the clones. You exit in the Earthbound Cavern.
3. Trap moss lizards with a Rope (best food with high Cooking) and go to Blue Moon to the east: crush.
4. Blood Moon east of the Ancient Prison: slash. Prioritise defence; step off the glyph a tick to dodge her third hit and its heal.
5. South, Lunar Chest in the Ancient Shrine. Repeat.

• 💡 Only bring gear and a teleport: food, potions and tools come from the crates at each camp. It all vanishes when you leave.
• 💡 A Zombie axe (slash and crush) covers Blood and Blue and is the ideal slow weapon for the Eclipse clones; bring a stab weapon (Dragon sword, Abyssal dagger) for Eclipse if you have one. Defence-lowering specs and Death Charge do nothing here.
• 💡 Tanky armour (Barrows, Bandos) beats Obsidian: less eating and Blood Moon heals less.
