Moonwake:
The Hollow Bell
Choose one of three weapons, cross five distinct cathedral chambers, and shape a build from Moonfire, Ashstep, Blood Bell, and Graveglass blessings. Silence the Bell Warden and Moon Abbess, then survive the Eclipse Nave and its giant Cathedral Leviathan while combat momentum charges a screen-clearing Moonwake Burst.

In local Echo Pact, Player 2 uses the arrow keys, Enter to attack, and / to dash. Attacks, kills, relics, and perfect dashes fill Resonance; a full Burst damages nearby foes, clears hostile projectiles, and pressures every keeper’s stagger gauge.

Defeat all three cathedral keepers and reach the east gate to submit a score. Boss Rush, Echo Pact, Ascension, unfinished descents, and unverified results stay off the ranked board.

Final Bell update
The cathedral has a final hunger.
The complete five-chamber descent now continues beyond the Moon Abbess into the Eclipse Nave, where a giant bell-serpent called the Cathedral Leviathan attacks with falling chimes, void fans, ground waves, and an eight-way starless wheel. Select the balanced Crescent Blade, long-reaching Bell Spear, or rapid Ash Fans; each keeps its distinct combo rhythm and airborne technique—Moonfall, Skyhook, or Ember Dance. Drowned Sirens, charging Bell Hounds, and elite variants keep the route dangerous between keepers. After learning the route, raise the danger through three Ascension levels, challenge all three keepers back-to-back in Boss Rush, or invite a second local player into Echo Pact as an invulnerable support Nightwalker. Every lantern presents two deterministic route contracts, while four elite traits and 12 blessings—including the Graveglass blessing family—shape the build. Dedicated hand-painted phase artwork, sealed boss arenas, flawless-fight bonuses, and reactive cathedral environments remain part of every Full Descent.
