Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault Greed and Glory Update
11 March 2026: Hex, Blo-Blitz, Nimbus Regalia, and the Greed Colosseum.
Greed and Glory is Moonlighter 2’s first major Early Access content update. It went live on 11 March 2026. Version 1.0 (2 September 2026) still contains every headline feature from this patch. You do not buy it. You do not opt in. If you play the full game, you already have Hex, Blo-Blitz, Nimbus Regalia, and the Greed Colosseum. This page is the historical notes so old guides make sense. How to use Hex today sits on the Builds Tier List. Blo-Blitz sits on the Weapons Tier List. The later 1.0 drop sits on Version 1.0.
Digital Sun billed it as the first of the EA content updates, with another still to come (that became Blob-Life) before 1.0. Roadmap slides from December 2025 already promised a new path, a new gun, and a post-boss challenge. Greed and Glory is that slide made real.
Hex
Hex is a dungeon perk path. Curse an enemy, deal damage on a delay, and let the curse jump to neighbors. It is a pack tool. It is also the reason Thunder stopped feeling like a finished tree: Hex plus Thunder is the pairing Digital Sun called out in the notes. Unlock is simple: Endless Vault Challenge 2 (50,000 lifetime gold). No extra quest. No biome gate. If Hex shrines are missing, you have not turned in II, or you are skipping perk rooms.
Play Hex in crowded Kalina halls before you test it on a boss. Seed the smallest body, then detonate with Thunder or, after 1.0, with Bomb Path. Single-target rooms waste the spread. The builds page ranks the combo S-tier in dense biomes and A-tier on bosses unless a real melee special is there for the last phase.
Blo-Blitz
Blo-Blitz is a dual-gun with a pressure identity: keep firing, keep moving, stack on-hit perks. It is not Blo-Beam. Beam is still the S-tier laser you get from Babyl after any Gallery run. Blitz is the Greed and Glory toy for people who already kite. The recipe is a quest after you visit Prison 2. Craft it when that quest says so; do not expect Andrei to have it on day one.
If a March 2026 video calls Blo-Blitz the best gun, check the date. Post-1.0 ranking on this wiki still puts Blo-Beam first and Blo-Blitz in A-tier as a style pick. Both are in the 1.0 armory.
Nimbus Regalia
Nimbus Regalia is the shiny armor set from this patch. You start each dungeon with one shield. When that shield breaks, you gain 20% damage for two seconds. Getting hit becomes a window. That is delightful on gauntlets and suicidal on Hardcore 1.0 if you cannot roll. Wear it when you understand Rupture and potions. Do not wear it as a beginner crutch; the shield is short and the payoff wants you to attack, not to hide.
Greed Colosseum
After a boss, an alternate door can send you into the Greed Colosseum: waves of enemies and mini-bosses that escalate across biomes. It unlocks with the fifth Endless Vault key (the V layer, 500,000 lifetime gold). It is a greed side-mode, not a replacement for Aeolia. Clear it when your kit is already a build, not when you still have the Old Broom on your back.
Twenty new combat rooms shipped in the same update, plus perk-set expansions for Nou, Anacard, and Sliver, more Andrei combos, and Witch / K33P3R tree growth. Ten shop cosmetics arrived for people who had already bought Scratch’s voucher junk. Relic and perk balance moved too; if a Perfect Stamp in an old spreadsheet disagrees with our shop prices table, this patch is one of the reasons.
Fifth key narrative
Greed and Glory continued the Vault story past the old EA cap at challenge IV. The fifth key is both a gold gate and a cutscene gate. You still do not spend the 500,000. You earn it, the Vault nods, the Colosseum and the next story beat appear. 1.0 later added VII’s 300k one-day exam on top of that spine.
How this patch sits next to 1.0
Greed and Glory is not “the old game.” It is the middle of the live game. 1.0 added Bomb Path, Endless aspects, shop 5, Hardcore, and Infinite Vault. It did not remove Hex or the Colosseum. If you boot Moonlighter 2 after 2 September 2026, you are playing EA plus Greed and Glory plus Blob-Life plus 1.0. Read this page for the March 11 kit. Read the Updates Hub for the order. Read 1.0 for the finish.
Tyke, The Curator, and the Gallery still matter for Rectifier and Blo-Beam; those unlocks predate this patch and survived it. Greed and Glory just made the armory louder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
When did Greed and Glory release?
11 March 2026, as the first major Early Access content update. It is included in the 1.0 full game.
How do I unlock Hex?
Complete Endless Vault Challenge 2 (50,000 lifetime gold). There is no extra quest. Gold is not spent to unlock the path.
Is Blo-Blitz better than Blo-Beam?
No. Blo-Beam remains the best gun for most runs. Blo-Blitz is a dual-wield pressure weapon from this update, ranked A-tier as a style choice.
When does Greed Colosseum unlock?
With the fifth Endless Vault key, tied to the 500,000 lifetime gold layer. It is a post-boss wave challenge, not a fourth biome.
Does Nimbus Regalia work on Hardcore?
It works, but the on-hit damage window is risky when death drops relics. Learn the set on normal before you take it into Hardcore.
