Moonlighter 2 Guide
A practical guide to the shop-and-dungeon loop in Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, with item and price data kept separate from unverified launch claims.
Current verified state
A merchant guide built around real evidence
The Steam listing describes an action RPG with roguelike elements: explore dungeons, collect relics, sell loot, set your own prices, and invest in the village of Tresna. Version 1.0 left Early Access on Sep 2, 2026 and added a postgame, a Hardcore mode and four Endless Weapon Aspects. The listing still does not publish a complete item database, so that boundary stays visible here.

Game overview
What Moonlighter 2 is, in one screen
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is an action RPG with roguelike elements. You play Will, a merchant-dungeoneer rebuilding the shop in the village of Tresna after the collector Moloch takes the town. The loop is simple and deep: dive the three dimensions — Kalina, The Gallery and Aeolia — collect relics, extract with your backpack, sell loot at your own prices, and reinvest in vendors and gear. There are six realm bosses, twelve minibosses, four melee weapon classes, and the Infinite Endless Vault as the postgame.
Relic price tiers
Relics sell by rarity, from Common up to Legendary, and every relic has a Perfect Stamp price plus Cheap and Expensive thresholds that shift by biome and rarity. Price near the Perfect Stamp, watch each customer’s demand, and use the Countess’s showcases to raise the price of a whole rarity.
Open the relic price tracker →Upgrade order: yourself before the shop
Creator guides agree on the early order: Eris’s potions and health first, then your main weapon at Andrei’s Forge, then backpack slots from Sliver. Once runs are reliable, shift gold into K33P3R’s merchant progression and the Countess’s showcases.

What should I do first in version 1.0?
Use these answer-led routes for the released build: the pages connect the dungeon, shop, item, and postgame systems without presenting an untested price chart or invented room-by-room route as fact.
How do I start a run?
Follow the released-build first-session loop from dungeon risk to selling and village reinvestment.
When should I leave the dungeon?
Plan around backpack space, deeper rewards, and the published single-run rule for the Infinite Endless Vault.
Where are item prices?
Use the price tracker for versioned observations; the Steam page confirms player-set prices but not a universal table.
Which bosses are documented?
Check the boss page for named encounters and Steam completion snapshots, with unverified tactics left open.

FAQ
Common questions
Is Moonlighter 2 out of Early Access?
Yes. Version 1.0 released on September 2, 2026. The Steam release field now reads Sep 2, 2026, the Early Access tag has been removed, and the listed genres are Action, Adventure and RPG. Early Access ran from November 19, 2025.
What is the Infinite Endless Vault in Moonlighter 2?
It is the version 1.0 postgame, unlocked after completing the main story. It is an endless series of increasingly difficult thresholds, and the launch announcement states that each one must be completed in a single run, so failing to reach the required amount of gold resets your progress for that threshold. Rewards include equipment, shop upgrades, decorations and cosmetics. No gold values or threshold counts have been published.
What happens if you die in Moonlighter 2 Hardcore Mode?
The launch-day announcement says dying means losing your progress and starting the journey again from the very beginning. The earlier August 5, 2026 announcement described the same mode differently, saying you lose all your relics upon defeat. The two wordings have never been reconciled officially, so the safer assumption is the harsher one until the in-game description says otherwise.
Is Moonlighter 2 coming to Nintendo Switch 2?
No Nintendo Switch 2 version has been officially confirmed in the sources tracked here. The version 1.0 launch announcement says console versions are available without naming a single console, and the Steam listing shows Windows as the only platform.
Is Moonlighter 2 on Nintendo Switch?
The official sources tracked here do not name a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 version. Steam lists Windows as the platform. The launch announcement asserts that console versions exist but does not identify them, so this should be rechecked whenever Digital Sun or 11 bit studios publishes a platform list.
When did Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault enter Early Access?
The game entered Early Access on November 19, 2025 and left it on September 2, 2026. Digital Sun and 11 bit studios first announced that 1.0 date in an official Steam announcement dated August 5, 2026.
Is Moonlighter 2 on Steam?
Yes. Steam lists Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault as a released Windows game. The listing also includes Single-player, full controller support, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing categories.
What is the main gameplay loop in Moonlighter 2?
The Steam description connects dungeon exploration, relic collection, shop selling, player-set prices, village investment, and upgrades into one loop.
Can I see confirmed Moonlighter 2 item prices here?
The prices page is prepared for observed data, but a number is only published after it has been checked in the game and recorded with a version or test note. Steam does not provide a complete item-price table.
Is Moonlighter 2 single-player?
Steam lists Single-player as a category. It also lists full controller support and gamepad recommended, and does not list Multi-player, Online Co-op or PvP.
