Hecate’s Moon Event
To take up the challenge
Event Center > Hecate’s Moon
You can challenge once by using one “Underworld Key”.
You can get one Underworld Key when you achieve 80 or 110 score of daily “Activity”. 2 keys in total per day.
Or buy the paid package. One for $9.99.
Monster Defeating
Search and Attack
When you start the challenge, monsters will appear one by one in the vicinity of you (within approximately 30km).
TIPS: Starting the challenge at the edge (corner) of the map will limit where the monsters appear and make them easier to find.
Monsters can only be attacked solo. Rallying is not allowed.
Once defeated, the next monster or NPC will appear.
The monsters and NPCs will remain on the map for only 5 minutes, and will disappear if they are not found and defeated before that time.
You can also use an item to search instantly
You can find them instantly by using the “Lunar Sacred Mirror,” an item marked with a magnifying glass.
To use the “Lunar Sacred Mirror,” simply press the button framed in red on the screen below.
You can get Lunar Sacred Mirror when you achieve 80 or 110 score of daily “Activity”. 8 pcs in total per day.
Or buy the paid package. 8 for $9.99.
Final Boss (Trial Temple)
After defeating all of them, the final boss, the “Trial Temple,” appears. (It is like a Barbarian Castle. There are troops inside, mainly of one of the troop types).
To attack or scout the Temple, the bubble must be dropped.
As of 1/29/2024, there is a glitch, sometimes attacking or scouting does not get any response and you can’t beat them. In my case, this happened once I lost and restarting the game cured it.

NPCs (Hecate) & 3 choices
When you visit the NPC (Hecate) that appears, you will be given three choices.
When you choose one of the options, you will be able to press the decision button.
The NPCs that appear are as follows
Black Moon Hecate
- Select the strength of the final boss (possibly the number of troops)
- Less on the left, more on the right
- Easy: 1,549,000
- Normal: 2,852,000
- Difficult: 4,555,000
- The number of troops seems to be slightly different depending on the choices made by other NPCs.
New Moon Hecate
- Select the type of troops for the final boss.
- Ground Troop
- Mounted Troop
- Ranged Troop
- Siege Machine
As of 1/29/2024, it is not functioning properly due to a glitch. The final boss’s troop type becomes ranged troop even though I chose ground troop, or ground troop even though I chose ranged troop.
Underworld Moon Hecate
- Select the height of the final boss’s buff
- Left: Weak, Right: Strong
- Left: 974%
- Center: 1791%
- Right: 2500%
- Buff values seem to be slightly different depending on the choices made by other NPCs
Points and Ranking
If the final boss is defeated or if the contestant fails to continue during the challenge, one challenge ends and points are determined. The ranking is determined by those points.
If the points are tied, the first player to reach the point will be ranked higher.
Tips for getting high points
There are 3 important things to do.
1. defeat the final boss who is as strong as possible
2. defeat as many high point monsters as possible
3. visit all three Hecates.
However, 2 and 3 are completely up to luck, so you can only control 1.
As for 1, you need to choose the strongest difficulty and buffs possible in the selection at the NPC (Hecate).
And if you have well-trained ground troops or mounted troops, it is recommended to choose siege machines.
(Do not attack with ranged troops. They are vulnerable to siege machines.)
As for 2, unless Goblin or Normal Boss (ex: Typhon etc) appear, you will not be able to differentiate yourself from other players. (See the point list below.)
Since the number of monsters and hecates appearing before the final boss (Trial Temple) is fixed at “19 of total”, it is not possible to make a difference in the “number”.
As for 3, it seems that basically all three hecates appear in most cases, but if you are unlucky, only two or less may appear. In this case, the items (number of troops, type of troops, buffs) that could not be selected seem to be determined at random.
Example of points earned
Example of points earned per round when defeating the final boss temple.
Even if the same difficulty/buff trial temples are defeated, it depends on “number of Goblins and Normal Boss killed” & “number of Hecate that were able to visit”.

Item exchange at the store
When you defeat a monster, you will get an item called “Radiant Night Torch”. (No double drop).
The torch is also awarded for each challenge, depending on the achievement points, whether or not the last boss can be defeated, and the difficulty level.
These can be collected and redeemed for items at the “New Moon Shop”.
The Torch will automatically disappear after the event.
Number of “Radiant Night Torch” drops by monster
As of 1/29/2024, there is a glitch; the number of drops shown on the screen before the battle is different from the actual number of drops.

Other Rewards
For each challenge, you will receive rewards based on achievement points, whether or not you can defeat the last boss, and difficulty level.
Rewards are also awarded according to the ranking order.
In-game Description
1. During the event, using the Underworld Key allows you to summon Hecate. Hecate can transform into various Boss monsters. Defeating them earns you event points and the event token – the Radiant Night Torch.
2. After defeating an incarnation of Hecate, another will spawn at a random location on the world map. There’s also a chance that Hecate’s true form will appear. When you visit Hecate’s true form, you can choose the difficulty level for the Trial Temple, the type of troops, and the strength of the buff. Hecate’s true form will appear up to 3 times. The more incarnations you defeat, the higher the probability of encountering Hecate’s true form.
3. The Boss monsters that Hecate transforms into will disappear once the countdown ends. Additionally, the drop rate and number of Radiant Night Torches from these Boss monsters are not affected by Double Items Drop Rate.
4. From the summoning of Hecate to the defeat of all her incarnations is considered one challenge round. If any Boss monster disappears midway, that round automatically concludes.
5. The Trial Temple will refresh during the final trial of challenges in a single round. The higher the difficulty chosen by the Monarch at the beginning, the better the rewards for successfully completing the trial.
6. During the event, you can use the Radiant Night Torch to redeem items in the Event Shop, Underworld Goddess Treasures. Once the event concludes, any remaining Radiant Night Torches will automatically disappear, so please use them promptly.
7. Players will be ranked based on the highest total points in a single round. Ranking rewards will be sent via mail at the end of the event. If players have the same point, the one who reached it first will rank higher.

Any idea how 910 scores are achieved?
I’m still convinced that t12 ground are significantly better than t13. This report (against difficult level Trial Temple and choosing siege troops inside). I thought they had nerfed the t13 “buff”, but it would appear not.
Ascended Scipio w/ Suchet assistant
~2.7m full march, ~1.78 t13 ground, ~80k t13, ~830k t12
Do you know what is the criteria for being in any of the 3 groups Senior, Medium, Junior? I couldn’t find any explanation of that and I am always set on Senior group but it is too high for me.
Same here
It seems to me that if you are K35 or higher, you are locked into the senior, regardless of your power or rate of achievement.
There are people with about 2M power who can get Radiant Night Torch, but is it that easy to collect it with low power?
I suspect the New Moon Hectate for troop type choice is a poorly worded one – If you select the type of troops you’ll be attacking with then the spawned temple should be the counter troop that yours will kill the best? i.e. select Ground and the temple contains Range. Select Mounted and the temple contains Ground.
Need to test it again as the event has been glitchy at best.
I don’t know if your point is in response to my article or to the in-game description, but I have already stated in my article from the beginning that there is a glitch. I agree that the in-game description is inadequate.
Tried this twice yesterday. First run I selected Ground troops and received a Ranged temple to attack. Second run I selected Mounted troops and received a Mounted temple to attack.
Thank you very much for all your help.
As the number of troops in Easy was “?”, I just wanted to let you know.
Thanks for the info!
Lv17 Typhon is 20 torch
Thanks for the info!
Suggestion for those who have difficulty beating 19 monsters.
Figure out how many you can beat and what your score is at that time.
Calculate how many attempts it will take to get the fragments, Maria Theresa.
The keys do not disappear after the event, so save them until you reach the required number and then challenge.
