Yes. Make sure you take the Caelid entrance because of that door. Careful though, there are a lot of stonediggers and Radahn soldiers in the caverns, so be ready to fight.

The moonveil drops from the magma wyrm boss in the gael tunnel. in order to get to the boss fight you need to enter the tunnel from its back entrance, otherwise you will run into a locked door
