How To Complete The Mothman Equinox Event In Fallout 76

The Mothman Equinox in Fallout 76 is a seasonal event that features the devout Cult of the Mothman around the Appalachia region. You will go on a journey to commence a ritual that summons the Wise Mothman. To complete it, you will need to collect, slaughter, and protect objectives, which will give you plenty of rewards in the process. This event can be done every hour as soon as your in-game clock hits XX:00.

The Mothman Equinox event in Fallout 76 can be done solo, but it is recommended to do it with others for the full benefit. For example, you will need to protect three different areas and emote around 30 times. Therefore, being able to prioritize what you can do on your own within your limits is necessary. Finally, the event is a great way to get collectible items and increases your XP since the Wise Mothman grants a nice XP buff.

How To Start The Mothman Equinox Event

All Timed Mission Events

This year's seasonal Mothman update in Fallout 76 is from May 14th, 2024, until May 21st, 2024. Once the update goes live, head to Point Pleasant with your best Fallout 76 build on the Ohio River shores in the Appalachia region's Forest. This is also the home of the Mothman Museum, The Enlightened faction, and the Cult of the Mothman. Head to the Mothman Museum and talk to Interpreter Clarence to get your first tasks and start the challenge.

It is important to note that the Mothman Equinox missions in Fallout 76 will be timed and must be done in the correct order. It begins with a game-wide announcement and will happen all around the town. The event status can be shown in the upper-right corner to tell you how much time you have left.

Destroy the vines of containment around each Pyre located around Point Pleasant.

Kill the Cultist Prophets that will spawn around the town, and consider using Fallout's Gauss Minigun.

Destroy the Totems of Warding. You can do this all from the highest rooftop of the town.

Collect blood from slain Albino Ragstag Blood, which will start to spawn, and deposit it into designated Blood Troughs.

Light the three Pyres that were contained before.

Defend them from continuous spawning enemies that come in three waves. YouTuber MrWestTek suggests solo players should prioritize just two Pyres since it is difficult to do on your own.

Finally, return to the Mothman Museum roof, emote 30 times, and the Wise Mothman will appear in your overall event performance.

All Mothman Equinox Rewards

The rewards from Fallout 76's Mothman Equinox event depend on how well you've protected the Pyres. Successfully defending all three will give you the best and most rewards. You will also receive a Mothman Equinox Plan that offers you signature cosmetic items from this year and years past in one or two pieces at a time. Additionally, if you speak to the Wise Mothman once he appears, he will give you an XP buff that you can use for the next hour.
