How to find Luminaras in Once Human

They're easier to find than you might think...

If you’re confused about where to find Luminaras in Once Human, you’re not alone. As part of the new H37 Nutcracker Event, this mysterious enemy is on our kill list, but with one slight problem ā€” this enemy doesn’t exist in Once Human.

Well, it doesn’t exist by that name, I should say. I’ve figured it out and I’ll help you out, so here’s how to find Luminaras in Once Human.

Where to find Luminaras in Once Human

Luminaras can be found in Ashenton. They are Elite enemies that spawn in three different places, so you can knock out your task in one go if you know where to go. The reason we’re all struggling to find them is that it’s another one of those naming issues in Once Human. The enemy you’re actually looking for is called a Luna Moth in-game.

They have a lampshade for a head, and I’m sure you’ve seen them. They’re tricky, with a solid dodge and a pretty powerful homing projectile attack. Unless you’re running a current-meta Bingo sniper, they’ve probably given you some trouble.

Anyway, the quickest way to get to them without much fuss is to teleport to the Fire Throat Base Teleportation Tower (make sure you don’t accidentally teleport to the Fire Throat Rise tower instead). From here, head northwest and simply glide over the lava flows (be careful, it gets hot here).

From here you can hop on your bike and drive into Ashenton from the east (so you’re heading west). Once you enter, you’ll be pretty close to all three of the spawns, which can be found at the following coordinates:

  • (-6315,4751) look for a run-down house, the Luminara is on the top floor.
  • (-6349,4693) big red building, you should see the Luminara once you head inside.
  • (-6367,4804) broken-down buildings and lava flows in the area, be careful. The Luminara is out in the open.

Can’t find the Luminaras in Once Human

If you can’t find the Luminara, look around a bit, since they tend to be quite mobile. They may have been lured away from their spawn by a passing player, but they’ll still be close by.

If there are no enemies at all, it’s highly likely that someone already defeated all of them. In this case, you’ll want to leave the area for 5 minutes, and then return. The enemies should have spawned in and you can tick off this task and get your special Nutcrackers (they’re pretty cool!).
