Eastern Court is the liberation fight for the Lunar Judgment chain east of the city of Demeniss. The boss is the Full Moon Reaper, one of three Lunar Reapers aligned with the full moon. The Eastern Court is one of the three liberation targets that together reopen the Demenissian suburbs after they fall under the Grand General's order.
Stack HP recovery cooking items. The Reaper fight is a long endurance trade; burst damage checks do not clear it cleanly.
Visit an anvil and grindstone first. The short-duration refinement buffs matter for the opening minute of the fight where the Reaper does the most damage.
Parry, do not trade. The Reaper is defence-oriented and punishes any extended combo. Parrying a heavy swing opens the largest punish window in the fight.
Watch for the lunar flurry. The Full Moon Reaper's signature combo is a fast light-heavy chain that ends with a wide sweep. Dodge the sweep rather than blocking; blocking the sweep drains stamina too fast to recover before the next opener.
Fast travel to the nearest Abyss Nexus on the road east of Demeniss city, then approach the court on foot or by mount.
Clear the court defenders up to the boss arena. Approaching from the back wall is quieter and avoids the patrol groups stacked at the front gate.
Engage the Full Moon Reaper. Focus on parrying the light-heavy chain and counter-punishing the post-sweep recovery window.
After the Reaper falls, finish the liberation tick on the court and speak with the resident contact to close the Eastern Court faction quest.
Defeating the Full Moon Reaper and liberating the Eastern Court leaves Circling Moon inside the court for pickup. Returning to the court after the liberation cutscene is required; the weapon does not drop directly into the inventory.
Full Moon Slash is pre-installed. Circling Moon is the source weapon for the Full Moon Slash abyss gear, which fires an electrical slash on light attack. The gear slots into any melee weapon afterward, and it sees the most use when paired with the Crescent Moon Slash (ice) and Half Moon Slash (fire) gears from the other two Lunar Reapers. All three on the same weapon fire every element at once on the same attack button.
Southern Court (New Moon Reaper -> Diverging Moon -> Crescent Moon Slash, ice)
Western Court (Half Moon Reaper -> Grasping Moon -> Half Moon Slash, fire)
Lunar Judgment (parent chain)
