Introduction
Bloodmoon is a event on October base around Halloween. Takofane has risen during this time to cause chaos with his undead army. So the street is full of zombies, monsters pretending to be trick or treaters, and Crypts are popping all over the place. There are many things to do in this month long event.
Moonstruck
Before we start talking about each content of Bloodmoon, we need to discuss an important perk call Moonstruck. Moonstruck is a perk that makes you get other perks from most of the Bloodmoon content. These are the requirement:

  • In Memoriam - Free all 13 Undead Hero souls - You must visit each Undead Hero's Crypts and finish it.
  • Thrash of the Lich King - Drive off Takofane during Bloodmoon - Require fighting Takofane in Week 4
  • Silver Bullet - Defeat 100 Bloodmoon Werewolves - Require the player to do the Werewolf/Hunter PvP
  • Leader of the Pack - Defeat 100 Hunter players as a Feral Warrior during Bloodmoon - Require the player to do the Werewolf/Hunter PvP
  • Wolfsbane - Defeat 100 Feral Warrior players as a Hunter during Bloodmoon - Require the player to do the Werewolf/Hunter PvP

Doing all this will allow you to purchase the Power call Moonstruck from the Champion Recognition Vendor. Can only be use by Freeform Characters. Its an extremely useful Rune that benefit Fire/Bestial User.
Trick or Treat!
Talk to Dweomer to obtain a mission call Trickery!. This quest involves you going around the city, talk to people in glowy costume, and check to see if they're actual monsters or just trick or treaters. If they're trick or treaters, you will get a halloween treat bag. If they're a monster, then they will start attacking you. You need the Trick or Treater to be a monster, and defeat it, in order for the quest condition to meet. This is entirely RNG base, but it wouldn't take a while if you know where to find these Trick or Treaters. Thankfully, you only need to defeat 5 monsters in order to finish this quest.

There are perks involve killing these Trick or Treater monsters like Spectre Rejecter (requires killing 25 Mummies / 25 Ghost / 25 Franks). However, there is a special perk that rewards an action figure of a black cat and kitten. This require talking to the Trick or Treater, hope that the trick or treater is a monster, and the monster is a Black Cat. Because there are many monsters type that could spawn from each Trick or Treater, tackling this perk can take a long, long time to finish with this amount of RNG. You need to kill 100 Black Cat to get the Catastrophe Perk/Title (Black Cat AF) and 250 Black Cat to get the Unlucky Perk/Title (Black Kitten AF). Have fun with RNG if you're going for those title/perk/AF.

There is also the Lesson in Trickery Perk. You simply defeat 50 Trick or Treater Monster. This will allows you to buy the Cauldron Fire PVD from the Champion Recognition Vendor.
Pumpkin Lighting
While its not a quest, this is one of the few things you can do at the start of the Blood Moon. You simply go around lighting Pumpkins. It takes a while for the Pumpkin to be relit, so try ti find a route or cycle around a block or two until you can relit those pumpkin. The main reason you would do this is to get a perk call Guiding Light. This perk requires you to light 100 Pumpkin. When you obtain this perk, you will have the privilege to to buy the Flaming Pumpkin Power Variants Device.
Hunter vs Werewolf PvP
You will see a Hunter and Werewolf at the front of the MC Powerhouse. Each of these NPC can transport you to the arena where Hunters and Werewolf are battling it out to the death. The idea of this PvP is you pick a side, you transform to either Hunter or Werewolf, and start killing other players. Ideally, the players will attack each other in packs and score enough kills to help get their perks. In reality, most players just trade kills or have friends help farm each other to get the perk and move on to other, more fun content in Halloween. Because there isn't much content in the first week of the Bloodmoon event, the first week of Bloodmoon is ideal to do this "PvP' and grab as much kills as you can to get the perk that let you buy the Moonstruck power. With that being said, you want to get these Perk/Title from this PvP:

  • Wolfsbane: Defeat 100 Werewolf Players - Needed for the Moonstruck Perk
  • Leader of the Pack: Defeat 100 Hunter Players - Needed for the Moonstruck Perk
  • Silver Bullet: Defeat 100 Bloodmoon Werewolf - Needed for the Moonstruck Perk
  • Sea Wolf : Defeat a Submarine as a Werewolf - Transform into a Werewolf, head to the Super plane, Take a trip to Monster Island, take a sub to Lemuria, go under water, find a submarine enemy and kill it.
  • Air Wolf : Stand on an Inactive Helicopter at Area 51 as a Wolf - If the Hunter and Werewolf PvP takes places at the Desert, then you do not have to take the Super Plane. Just head to Area as a Werewolf and stand on the Inactive Helicopter. This Perk is required if you want to buy the Fiery Spirit PVD.
  • Full Moon Fever : Defeat 100 Werewolf Players - Requirement to buy the Searing Carnage PVD from the Champion Recognition Vendor
  • Bite Me : Unlock both Wolfsbane and Leader of the Pack - Requirement to buy the Fire Fangs PVD from the Champion Recognition Vendor
  • Beast Slayer : Defeat 50 Werewolf Players - Requirement to buy the Flaming Frenzy PVD from the Champion Recognition Vendor
Zombie Apocalypse PvP
This is a PvP mode where heroes face off against a wave of zombies. Before starting this PvP, talk to Dominique Ducard Hero Game NPC found in front of the MC Super Plane. Take the Zombie Apocalypse (Daily). Now hit the More.. bottom at the bottom of the Alert Bar, click the Hero game tab, scroll down, and queue Hero Games Zombie Apocalypse.

There are two team, the team that fights off the zombies, and the zombie team. The first team simply have to out last wave after waves after wave of zombies. The Zombie team's objective is to wipe out the first team. If any of the players dies in the first team, they will get transfer to the zombie team.
Summoning TacoFangs

This is an Easter Egg left by the previous developers. Head the Champion Headquarter and find a taco lying on the ground. From here, you need 3 heroes with the Action Figure call Speical Edition Action Figure: Tumerboy, which can be obtain from the Dev Store. Once three Tumerboy are summon, they will summon Tacofang! Talk to Tacofang and buy the Action figure Tacofang.

Open Mission: Fallen Heroes
In Week two, there will be many open missions up in MC. Each of these Open Missions has the 13 fallen heroes, each with their own loot table and their own Lair upon completing their Open Mission. The mission itself is simply killing a certain amount of zombies before the Fallen Hero boss appears. Each of the Fallen heroes has their own powerset and move, but otherwise, they can easily be dealt with a few heroes taking on the open mission. When you finally defeat those heroes, they might drop a unique loot and a crypt will open up. Here is a map for reference:


Lair: Crypts

Before we get started, get these following quest to maximize your reward:
  • Blood Moon Rising (Daily) - Simply finish a Crypt. Require if you want 1 Turakian Premium Coin
  • Night of the Heroic Dead - Free all 13 Undead Heroes. On top of getting some Globals and 50 Turakian Coins, use it as a check list to see which Undead Hero have you save from the Crypt or not. This also can help you work on the In Memoriam perk, a Perk require for the Moonstruck Perk.
  • Captive of the Blood Moon - You get this quest when the Crypt is summon from the Undead Hero's Open mission. Each Heroes has their own version of this quest and it shareable with other party members.

In order to enter these Crypts, you must finish a fallen hero's OM to open up a crypt. You should ask or form a team to make these run end quicker. Be sure to get the Quest that prompt up call Captive of the Blood Moon when a Crypt risen from the OM so you can get more rewards. The raid consist of killings many zombies, which contribute to many of the Bloodmoon quest.

You or your group will soon encounter a boss call Strength of Takofanes. Because this boss is required in completing those quest, you must dispatch it. If you're not prepare, the Strength of Takofanes can and will hit hard. He will use a pull on his target if they're too far from him. Most of his attacks are Might base. Once dispatched, finish up the rest of teh zombie and clear up that part of the quest. Now head to the final room.

In the final room, you're greeted with a cutscene. After the cutscene, its a good idea to clear the room of all the zombies so you and your group could fight the final boss in this raid. The Harbinger use many dark theme attack, but most importantly, a leeching life power that can heal it. Just simply block the attack or out of its line of sight until its finish that attack. After defeating the Harbinger, interact with the Sarcophagus to free the hero and turning in the Captive of the Blood Moon to the fallen hero.
Open Mission: Deathlords
This Open Mission will only appear in Week 2. Before starting the Open Mission, go to Dweomer and obtain the mission Deathlords Termination. Now head to one of the three location. Be sure that there is enough players to complete this Open Mission before starting it out. It is very important to have a few healers on stand by for this specific Open Mission. Here is the map of the three location: Carl Gym at Westside, City Center, and the Champion Head Quarters:


The first part of the mission is simply killing 100 Zombie Vanguards. Once that happen, the mission move to killing 200 more Zombies Hordes and 50 Ravenous Turakians. After that is done, then the Doomlords will join the fight.
Death Aura - This dot damage persist the entire fight.
Rune - During the fight, The Deathlords will summons some runes on the grounds. Anyone near these runes can get suck into it and take a good amount of damage.
Dark Bolt/Darkness Blast - The Deathlords will do a blast attack at the target.
Giant Sphere Wireframe AOE - The Deathlords will use a Giant Sphere Wireframe AOE that will hurt everyone within that radius. Mainly use to instant kill OV players.
Torment/Shadow Embrace - A Cone attack that has a wide range. This can cause many problem as this can wipe the raid if you're not careful. Having three of them using it at the same time is also a problem. Try to have some tanks or beefy hybrid/dps grab aggro and point the Deathlords away from the other DPS.

Defeat each Deathlord one at a time and collect the reward circle.
Open Mission: Takofane
This Open Mission will override the Deathlord Open Mission at Week 4. Before starting the Open Mission, go to Dweomer and obtain the mission Turakian Termination so you can get those event tokens. Now head to the Champion Head Quarter. Be sure that there is enough players to complete this Open Mission before starting it out. It is very important to have a few healers on stand by for this specific Open Mission.

The first part of the mission is simply killing 100 Zombie Vanguards. Once that happen, the mission move to killing 200 more Zombies Hordes and 50 Ravenous Turakians. After that is done, then Takofane will decide to fight.

Now for the actual boss fight. Takofane himself is not a threat in the overall fight. However, it can easily fail if the group isn't prepare for it. One of the fail condition for this Open Mission is if all the Ghostly Heroes get defeated. This can be done by the Doomlords that Takofane summons. A Doomlords will head to a Fallen hero and deal a great amount of damage to that hero. Defeat the Doomlord before they can damage these heroes. Takofane will also use a giant AoE that will hurt all Fallen Heroes. When the Ghostly Heroes get defeated, they will get turn against you and help Takofane. Have a healer or two heal the Ghostly heroes so this fail conidition will never be met. Defeat Takofane and collect the rewards.
Open Mission: The Flying Dutchman
To start this quest, take a mission from Dweomer call You'll Believe A Dutchman Can Fly. This will require the player to have Vibora Bay unlock to do this OM. The City wide Open Mission requires a group of heroes to follow a floating ghostly pirate ship, dispatch the zombie pirate in a certain part of the city, and repeat until the pirate ship stop at the final destination, the dock. From here, a time limit for each stage of the om will start. You start by defeating 30 officers, follow by the Dread Pirate Ruperts. At 66% HP, Ruperts has the ability to trap players in a water trap that needs to be destroy. If not, that trap player will receive continuous damage until freed. Right around 50% HP, he will start summoning Abyssal Creatures into the fight.
