Moon sign

Once you ascend, you have to choose a moon sign. There are signs for each of the three stat classes and they all cause individual, minor changes to gameplay. Your choice is not limited to the class you choose to play as (for example, you can be a Seal Clubber while having a Mysticality sign). In total, there are nine signs to choose from (plus a tenth that can be unlocked):

Other signs:

• Bad Moon -- Only available in Hardcore, unlocked by completing a Hardcore run without using any ten-leaf clovers. Seals familiars and Ascension rewards from prior Ascension until the king is freed. Enables adventures exclusive to this sign in various areas.

The Bad Moon sign gives you access to Hey Deze via the Doorway to Hey Deze on the Right Side of the Tracks.

Notes

• The usefulness of certain sign benefits may vary for characters following certain paths; for example the Blender is less useful if you are a Teetotaler or Oxygenarian.
• The ability to access the sign-specific areas only lasts for the current Ascension. Choosing a sign of a different stat class will close off the previous area again.
• Apparently, the cause of all the astrological signs being transformations of each other is that all the signs are the same -- the character is just facing different directions when ascending.

References

• Refers to Astrological signs, also known as Zodiac signs.

History

• Prior to May 17, 2011, the moon signs all had different effects (only the zone unlocks remained unchanged).
