Gunfire Games’ latest Souslike looter-shooter Remnant 2 has you hunting for very many resources that are essential for crafting. Blood Moon Essence is one such highly sought-after resource that you need for crafting valuable items, armor pieces, and even powerful Archetype engrams. It is a rare and elusive resource that can be quite challenging to obtain.
This guide will go over how to find Blood Moon Essence in Remnant 2 along with a farming strategy and the various usage of this resource.
Remnant 2 Bloodmoon Essence : Where to find it
Blood Moon Essence can be acquired by shooting Root Wisps on the planet Yaesha. These small, pinkish-red balls of energy fly through the forests of Yaesha and can be shot to obtain the essence. They do not attack players and can be found both within reachable areas and outside of the map boundaries.
While they don’t appear frequently, the chances of encountering them increase during Blood Moon events on Yaesha. These events are easily distinguishable by the reddish-tinted mist that covers the entire world.
Remnant 2 Blood Moon Essence: Usage
Blood Moon Essence can be utilized at the Bloodmoon Altar to purchase various items. These items come at different costs and may require different resources to obtain. The Bloodmoon Altar is not a static location and can appear randomly throughout Yaesha. Once you are near it, it will be marked as a blue icon on your map, making it easier to locate.
How to farm more Blood Moon Essence in Remnant 2
Farming Blood Moon Essence can be a challenging task, as it is limited to spawning in Yaesha and is not a guaranteed drop from enemies or quests. However, there are some locations and methods you can use to increase your chances of obtaining Blood Moon Essence:
1. Starting area of Yaesha: This region has a steady spawn of this resource, especially during the Blood Moon events. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Blood Moon in the sky, as it indicates areas with a higher spawn rate of Blood Moon Essence.
2. Destroy Purple Orbs: Shoot the Purple Orbs floating around in Yaesha during the Blood Moon events. Destroying these orbs while the event is active will provide you with Blood Moon Essence.
3. Outside Forgotten Temple: After completing the Water Harp Puzzle and encountering the Root-corrupted Wolf, you can find Blood Moon Essence outside the Forgotten Temple. This will happen after you have killed the Doe and obtained the Ravager Mask.
