Every Risk Of Rain 2 Lunar Item and its associated benefits, as well as how to obtain them
During a run in Risk Of Rain 2, players will accumulate a wide variety of items in their inventory. Among these are Lunar Items, identifiable by the blue aura that surrounds them. These items provide substantial buffs, but come at the cost of significant nerfs. For instance, the Eulogy Zero increases the chance of regular items spawning as Lunar Items without affecting the player's overall build.
Players will encounter numerous pieces of gear in Risk Of Rain 2 that cannot be equipped, but instead offer buffs when kept in the inventory. The Lunar Items are some of the most powerful in this roguelike game. This guide provides everything you need to know about these special items, including how to obtain them, their benefits, and where to find them.
How to Obtain All Lunar Items
Lunar Items can only be acquired by spending Lunar Coins and are represented by a distinctive blue aura. There are two ways to obtain Lunar Coins. First, players can open Lunar Pods, which always contain a Lunar Item and cost one Lunar Coin. Alternatively, Lunar Coins can be purchased at the Bazaar Between Time, a more common method of acquisition.
Opening a Lunar Pod requires one Lunar Coin and guarantees a Lunar Item. At the Bazaar Between Time, players can exchange two Lunar Coins for Lunar Buds, which provide information about the item before purchase, but always yield a Lunar Item.
