Crimson Moon guide hub

Use the Crimson Moon walkthrough for the three-mission run and stuck-objective checks, then choose a focused guide for builds, Boons, co-op or playtime.

Your first run: three things to know

  1. Choose your starting Loadout before entering. The run proceeds through Mission 1, Mission 2, Mission 3 and the World Boss.
  2. A Church return is not a reset. Gear and Boons found during the active run form your current build. Abandoning to change your starting Loadout means the next run begins at Mission 1.
  3. Check the objective before abandoning. A missing enemy or co-op pickup can be a progression issue rather than a puzzle. See the stuck-objective checklist before sacrificing an attempt.

THE CONFIRMED CORE

Fight through a fallen city.
Return stronger.

Crimson Moon is a gothic action-adventure RPG from ProbablyMonsters. You play as a Nephilim, a human-angel hybrid, fighting demons, undead, vampires and Hellgrowth in the fallen city of Gildenarch. Official materials confirm replayable missions, build experimentation, a Church home base, a War Table, a Blacksmith, and solo or two-player online co-op.

Co-op

Play together, platform by platform.

Crimson Moon co-opCrimson Moon supports solo play and two-player online co-op. Dynamic difficulty and enemy composition are designed to adapt missions for the party.↗Crimson Moon crossplayThe official 1.0.2 notes document crossplay friend requests between Xbox and other platforms and a fix for requests not being received. This confirms crossplay functionality, not a tested matrix of every platform pair.↗

Builds

Gear, boons and difficulty choices.

Crimson Moon buildsThere are no traditional character classes. A Nephilim build combines four armor pieces, two trinkets, a one-handed weapon and shield, a two-handed weapon, Weapon Arts, Boons and a chosen Angel. Purified gear starts at Common and Gajov can raise its minimum quality permanently.↗Crimson Moon Difficulty Settings: How They WorkDifficulty is chosen for a run, higher tiers unlock with progression, and harder settings offer greater rewards. Co-op players have reported display and progression mismatches, so verify each player’s result screen.↗

Equipment

Weapons, armor and Nephilim power.

Crimson Moon weaponsWeapons are part of the build system; official launch materials confirm one-handed weapons with a shield and a separate two-handed weapon slot. The full roster and stats remain live-game data.↗Crimson Moon Armor: Purification & Permanent RarityPurification unlocks armor at Common, not its found rarity. Learn what is permanent, what to compare and when to check Gajov upgrades.↗Do Boons Stack in Crimson Moon? Yes — Stacking RulesYes—developer guidance says duplicate Boons are intended to stack. Hotfix 1.0.2 also fixed named Boon and Weapon Art issues; check the live tooltip after every pickup.↗Crimson Moon Nephilim powersNephilim powers include supernatural abilities and temporary upgrades; official materials also confirm that each hunt includes choosing an Angel to accompany the build.↗

Missions & Base

Runs, the Church and the War Table.

Crimson Moon missionsA full run contains three missions followed by a World Boss. Returning to Sanctus Clypeus between those missions does not end the run, so the Loadout Station stays unavailable until the run is completed or you die.↗Crimson Moon ChurchThe between-run sanctuary is Sanctus Clypeus, the Divine Shield. Official materials identify Gallant, Mereda, Lotte and Gajov as key allies supporting quests, Boons, supplies and gear.↗Crimson Moon War TableThe War Table at Sanctus Clypeus is used to plan the next hunt. Sanctus Clypeus is the hub where players recover, prepare equipment, upgrade and choose the next assignment.↗Crimson Moon Blacksmith: Gajov Upgrade RulesGajov raises an item's permanent minimum quality. Check what the upgrade changes, how future drops differ and what to record if progress looks missing.↗
