Dharok's Setup Zero Supply Runs 3 Boss Loop

What This Guide Covers

The Moons of Peril are three bosses in Neypotzli (Eclipse Moon, Blue Moon, Blood Moon) that drop unique Moon armour sets and weapons. Players want fast KPH loops using in-dungeon resources, reliable boss mechanics to minimize food and prayer use, and ways to handle Blood Moon's healing and Eclipse's phases without dying or wasting time.

Prep & Setup

  1. Enter Neypotzli

    After completing the Perilous Moons quest, head to the NE dungeon/camp area first. Grab: butterfly net (if below 85 Hunter), rope, pestle & mortar, vials of water from crates. Catch Moonlight Moths for prayer restore.

  2. Gather supplies on-site (zero cost runs)

    Fish and cook Bream or Moss lizards for quick heal food. Crush Moonlight grubs + water vials to make Moonlight potions (Super Attack/Strength, Divine Super Defence, Super Restore combo). Top up between bosses. Use moths for prayer. Make tea for run energy.

  3. Recommended gear: Full Dharok's

    Best for DPS and Eclipse shadow phase skip. Swap attack styles: Slash for Blood Moon, Crush for Blue Moon (massive DPS difference). Camp Piety. Alternative: Torag's + Amulet of the Damned for Blood Moon defence. Bring minimal food; many players do full trips eating 0-5 food.

Optimal Boss Loop

Eclipse Moon (NE) → Blue Moon (NW) → Blood Moon (SW) → Lunar Chest (S) ↺
💡
Why this order Teleports place you perfectly for the next boss prep and restock. Catch moths en route between bosses. Eclipse first for easy full prep access.

Boss Strategies

Eclipse Moon
Weak to stab, but Dharok's slash works
  • Orb Shield special: Stay behind the moving orb (1 tile/tick). Use tile markers for outer edges, run to the "Orb" tile post-phase and DPS.
  • Shadows special: Click under spawning shadows to face and parry. Dharok's often overkills to skip this phase entirely.
  • Why: Skips save time. Good positioning means consistent 1-2 phase kills.
Blue Moon
Weak to crush
  • Crystals special: Punch the glowing crystal while dodging spikes, then re-equip and DPS on the marked tile.
  • Tornadoes special: Run to the marked "Nados" tile and AFK DPS. Heals are negligible.
  • Why: Out-DPS the heals easily. Focus on quick crystal break for fast kills.
Blood Moon
Weak to slash, hardest due to self-healing
  • Blood Pools special: Avoid pools on the way back to the marked tile.
  • Jaguars special: Run to the highlighted jaguar + glyph. Step back 1-2 ticks after pools settle (click behind you, then attack) to avoid damage and boss heals.
  • Why: Damage taken = big boss heals (1x/2x/3x min 30). Perfect step-back = near zero heals and fast kills. Defence matters here.
💡
All bosses: Glyph positioning Stand on the rotating Eyatlalli's glyph/circle for reduced damage. 6 normal attacks trigger a special (alternate). Public room but instanced HP.

Key Decision Points

Dharok's vs. other gear?
Choose Dharok's for Eclipse skip and overall speed (community consensus). Switch attack styles per boss for maximum DPS.
Which boss first?
Eclipse first for easy full prep access. The loop order Eclipse → Blue → Blood minimizes running time.
Food and prayer management?
Rely on dungeon resources over bank trips. Moths are better than pots for prayer restore. Fish and cook on-site for food.
