The Moonlight Village, also known as the Moonlight Yokai Village, the Haunted Village or the Night Market, is a special event dungeon available from October 17, 2012 to October 30, 2012. The Grand Chase knights are hungry and have been lured into a ghostly village by the smell of some delicious food, where they will have to unmask the Moonlight Village's secret and escape the soul consuming Gumiho.
As with all event dungeons, the Moonlight Village requires a special ticket, in this case Moonlight Pearls, in order to gain entry. If a player does not have any Pearls upon completion of the dungeon, they will automatically be kicked out of the room.
Like the Monster Train 301, it has a Hell Mode, and it is the only dungeon so far to have three different boss routes, two of which leads to the default boss, and one which leads to the secret boss. The path leading to the secret boss is in a hidden route in the third room which can only be accessed in Hard Mode or Hell Mode, and requires the successful protection of Jeremiah in order to fight her.

Trivia
Chronologically speaking, this dungeon happens in a futuristic timeline far beyond that of any Hero Dungeon thus far, as Rin, Asin, and even Lime appear in this dungeon. It could otherwise be non-canon.
