A quick tip for gloom hands: they cannot climb or swim, so if you're not very strong and/or you don't want to fight them, you can simply stay in high place, like a tree, or in a pond/lake/river (it's not necessary for you to swim, you can just stay in a point without moving, so you don't run out of stamina), just make sure they can't catch you, and after a while they will be bored of trying catching you so they will just despawn. It's like if they die because they drop a dark clump but you haven't defeated phantom ganon so they won't drop his weapons. In the video you can see an example of this at min. 7:01. Like it happened next in the video, if you get enough close to them again, they will try again to cacth you and won't despawn immediately

[@codymadison9993]

You can also drop a steering stick and hop on it and the hands with stop attacking. Then launch of slow motion arrownthem.

9:55 flux constructs and all constructs for that matter do not get revived by the blood moon, they rely and their own cycle to respawn (about three or four in game days) because they aren’t monsters, that’s also why you can’t fool them with majora’s mask or any other mask

[@TheJadeFist]

I didn't realize the game was using the blood moon as a sort memory cache clear, it makes sense though. Glad to find out you can exploit that fact, but they really should have given the player a normal way of triggering it. Waiting around for world bosses to respawn is kinda annoying. Gleoks guts are needed in a fairly high number to max out at least one fashion set, and don't drop most of the time. or for various other farming reasons it would have been nice for the player to have that option to reset without waiting in real time.

[@MLennholm]

Tip: If you want an infinite supply of fire fruit, just revisit In-Isa Shrine (Fuse ability shrine) every blood moon.

[@tphillips37]

I completely forgot about this! There's a couple places I go to on the road to Kariko Village where I can snipe the Aerocuda's carrying Bokoblins that are armed with backpacks of fire fruits.

[@IceTsunami1]

Same

[@wolfiemuse]

This would be better then the BOTW system. I remember it taking far too long

[@AlbedoAtoned]

For cooking, note that blood moons don''t increase the value of the meals you cook. If you cook 5 raw meat before and during a blood moon and each end up healing a different amount, they will still sell for the same amount. This is because the game looks only at the value of the parts x how many parts were in the meal. And I've said this elsewhere before, but I will say it here again, that if you need to heal a lot of hearts, you'll be way better off just cooking 1 hearty item at a time for a full heal plus extra hearts. Save meat for cooking then selling. Blood moons also aren't the only way to guarantee a cooking critical. You can also guarantee it by adding a golden apple to the dish. This is useful if the dish you are cooking doesn't need all 5 ingredient slots, or if you just don't want to wait. However, for certain meals such as sunny meals I pretty much always use blood moons to keep the gloom healing at it's highest. You don't have to defeat Gloom hands in most situations in order to end the "fake blood moon" If you are somewhere they can't reach, then after a short while they will give up and disappear, usually leaving dark clumps behind. There are some places where this isn't applicable however, such as the labyrinths. If they don't disappear, then you'll either need to fight them (and Phantom Ganon), find a way to elude them, or just teleport away. Ore work like other resources, they respawn based on RNG while you are somewhere else and you can get them to respawn multiple times per blood moon. While you can delay a blood moon, you can't do so indefinitely. Eventually the game will force one to prevent a crash. These panic blood moons can occur during normal gameplay but don't seem to be as common as in BOTW from what I have seen. But continuously delaying the normal blood moon will eventually guarantee it.

[@jacobafterdark5258]

The blood moon definetly respawns ore deposits, there’s a spot with 2 rare ore that I like to go to on death mountain and it respawns every blood moon.

[@TheEsparoba3]

they respawn individually from blood moons, just like other materials such as plants, I think it's somewhat the same mechanic as in BOTW, where they will respawn if you're far enough away and either sleep trough the night or just spend enough time away from them. granted I didn't specifically test this, but it's how they worked in botw, even shops like beedle used to work like this in botw (now beedle restocks just after resting/sleeping)

[@michaellane5381]

I think resources spawn in Blood moon ONLY if you are gone from the area and that Philly's tests are not going to show that properly. Different from monsters/weapons but still tied to the system.

How do you keep track of when a blood moon is about to come? Surely you don't stand around a cooking pot just waiting, and as far as I know there's no counter or calendar that tells you how many days have passed since the last one. Are you just remembering?

[@kerrykellett8717]

Caves do not stop the blood moon. They always seem to happen right as I've cleared out a bunch of enemies. Then they all respawn while I'm low on heath and wepons

[@zomfragger]

There is one more mechanic I discovered which is that blood moons can be delayed or increased based on the number of monsters you killed, materials gathered, or number of open chests. When so many monsters are killed, chests opened or materials gathered the blood moon will trigger to respawn fresh enemies, new chests, and fresh materials. Covertly if you avoid enemies keep chest opening and gathering to a minimum the blood will be delayed since you haven't crossed the line for it to spawn. In my early game I was able to delay my second blood moon until the third dungeon. After that because I wanted better weapons and armor I got the game to trigger a blood moon every 15 to 30 minutes because I went on a monster genocide run. Abusing travel medallions and the sky islands.

[@ghb323]

So in conclusion: 1) Blood moons occur roughly every 3 irl hours of unpaused gameplay. 2) Critical cooking between 11:30 and midnight. 3) Blood moons respawn weapons (including spike balls), enemies, and animals. All other resources use tick respawn. 4) Blood moons can be delayed by unloading the surface map (via depths or shrines) at midnight. 5) Blood moons can be forced by causing a bunch of lag or otherwise overloading the RAM. Bonus) cutscene changes once story advances past a certain point.

1:40 well… is this accurate? technically, if a blood moon is always programmed to happen at around 3h of play time, and the game always should know WHEN it’s supposed to happen; then by passing enough time at the campfire, you CAN get a blood moon. It might just take a while. It’s not like running up to the campfire, clicking A, going through that menu, cutscene, then back into gameplay etc doesn’t take ANY in-game time. It has to take some small, but determinable amount. Otherwise, spamming a campfire would NEVER get you a blood moon. If it doesn’t pass any time at all, then when you’ve been playing close to long enough for a blood moon but decide to start sleeping over and over, that would never ever trigger a blood moon under any circumstances since the in game clock wasn’t running at all. So it must be running some small but non zero amount. Either doing the campfire will eventually get you a blood moon no matter what (but might take over 3h of campfire spamming), or it won’t do it ever 9:09 . I don’t know how there could be an in between unless the game doesn’t actually program a specific time in advance for a blood moon to happen, which, by the 3 hour thing, leads me to believe is not true and that it does plan it in advance. So… this one seems like a gray area to me. Edited for clarity

0:50 so a second IRL is a minute in game. Cool

[@the-classic-gamer]

in BOTW I can skip the blood moon by cooking on the same frame as the cutscene triggers. this will not delay the blood moon the next day as the shrines do. this is much worse and does a partial reset. all enemies, bosses, and weapons don't respawn but some stuff does respawn mostly food items. find out it also takes longer for the blood to trigger because the timer goes to the negatives and takes about 7-8 IRL hours to trigger the next. doing the cooking glitch 2 times in a row takes 2-3 IRL days because of the lack of enemies and bosses to decrease/increase the timer faster. I never tried 3 times of fear of temporarily soft-locking my game for a week because there would be no bosses to kill. I don't know if the cooking glitch still works in TOTK because I haven't been able to do the glitch yet and see if it has the same effects as BOTW but seeing that the blood moon is tied to memory management where in BOTW it was not. doing this may force a blood moon I just don't know it will depend on what gets reset doing this glitch

[@SillygirlyMegan]

Ore deposits do respawn though because in my game there is this cave I always go to for rare ore deposits and when I mine them they do respawn, so I’m guessing the ore deposits respawning depends on how long you’ve played the game as long as you’re not still in the cave

Two questions: 1. Why do you have to AFK in a shrine and not just anywhere in the world? 2. Why is it that I can leave my game on for 6 hours idling without a blood moon, but the moment I rest at a bonfire a blood moon spawns?

Great video

As far as I can tell, from having unintentionally stopped Blood Moons multiple times, the cave's ability to stop the blood moon also depends on how deep below sea level it goes.

[@o2bubble549]

is it me, or are the floors moving at 11.50 to 11.59

[@verendus_7916]

For forcing a blood moon, you dont need to load the save. It just lags out and starts a blood moon automatically.

[@yalkn2073]

Caves dont delay Blood Moons, I got blood mooned in a cave multiple times. But a blood moon can fail to trigger if you save n load

[@brynngragg6462]

Inadvertently dodged a blood moon cut scene by being in building mode in Tarrey Town. I seen the blood moon but since I was readjusting my house, the cut scene never happened.

In BotW, you can cut the trees and collect all the wood and fruits, then save and reload. The trees will be back, but not the fruit. The fruit still needs to refresh by whatever method of going away works in BotW to refresh resources, but hey, infinite wood!

If you let gloom hand Despawn, can you fight them again?

[@PhillyBeatzU]

yea

[@Littledog0808]

@PhillyBeatzU good. I want to get Hylian Shield early when I get the game? But also want to fight the Phantom Ganons when I have more health

[@RickRaptor105]

I managed to accidentally delay a blood moon in a cave in Eldin because I fell into lava right as the cutscene was about to happen

[@ghb323]

2:46 Also saving at the very last second before 12AM prevents the blood moon.

[@naomigable6698]

Thank you you sharing how to get the blood moon

[@ryan55124]

Man screw the blood moon, as soon as it hits 11:30 pm I head into a shrine or into the deep

[@blacknexus1852]

Go to that shrine on satori mountain with all those trees, pull out a 5x shot bow, shoot a bunch of opal arrows in bullet time. Instant blood moon.
