The first blood moon, was absolutely terrifying 😂😂 I was heading towards the fairy fountain by kakariko for the first time. I noticed the particles and thought it was a weird indicator I was getting close to the fountain, but once the clouds started shifting I thought I triggered some sort of game over or some huge monster was going to be going after me. I also misunderstood what Zelda was saying, and thought a bunch of monsters I killed would be coming after me or the monsters would be way stronger or something like that 😂😂😅
For me, it happened immediately after the first time I spoke with Impa. I exited her house to find everything totally red, and it nearly gave me a heart attack!
@@JoelBrewton my first blood moon was when i got a horse and i had no gear and i was under the impression all of hell was after me and i wantedto do was get to a stable lmao i didnt get what was going on
My first blood moon happened when I was going to hateno from kakariko, I thought I’d gotten too close to hyrule castle too early into the game lmao, after the cutscene I was scared of running into mobs because I thought they’d just appear out of nowhere
mine was in that jungle area and i also thought that the monsters were gonna be more strong and stuff, it was scary and i stopped playing for a good month or so.
For me, I was revisiting a shrine. (It was at the plateau, and i did not enter the shrine) I saw the red moon, thinking it was the sun. I looked at it as it did it's thing, i was unsettled by it, and boom. I learned that that was NOT the sun, but rather, the blood moon
If you enter a shrine during a blood moon the game will delay the blood moon for another day, which I found is useful when doing Kilton's challenge. (The one where he asks you to kill all of the moldugas, taluses, and hinoxes)
Why would it be useful for Kilton’s challenge? They don’t all need to be defeated at the same time they just need to have been defeated at least once once. Well, that’s how it was for me.
Ganon is honestly a bro. He could have just resurrected all his enemies, but he sees link doing a challenge to try and upgrade his spirit and shit, he’s all like “yeah it’s cool. We’ll delay it”
Bro hearing the blood moon music build up for the first time and seeing those red particles for the first time was the most terrifying thing ive ever experienced
My first run in hyrule castle, I just beat the white moblins in the dining hall and decided to rest by the fire there to pass the night. 5 AM hits and I’m absolutely AMBUSHED
Its a long long way to ba sing se But the moon in the city it is so pretty And it shines so bright That you know you've got in sight The moon of ba sing se
Eventually tho I think the game will force a day time blood moon or something like that since blood moons act as a sort of delete excess data/fix the world thing
I actually did that.... or at least as much as I could. There are monsters in some areas that always respawn without a blood moon unless this has been patched. The keese swarms at night are a good example.
I tried that once, and it doesn't 100% work. you *can* kill off all monsters that actually revive during the Blood Moon, like Bokoblins, Moblins, Lynels, Moldugas, Hinoxes, Wizzrobes, Guardians etc. but some monsters are not tied to the Blood Moon and will continue to spawn if their "spawn conditions" are met. For most Keese, Chuchus and Octoroks, you only need to be in the right area to make them spawn infinitely, randomly and independendly from the Blood Moon. Regular animals that might attack you, like Wolves and Bears and Coyotes, also work like this. Some enemy types even have different categories that alter their spawn conditions. For example, Lizalfos *on land* usually have a fixed spawn location and regenerate every Blood Moon, so if you kill them and then prevent the Blood Moon from happening, they will stay dead. Lizalfoes that are underground (Ice-Breath Lizalfos jumping out of the snow, Electric Lizalfos jumping out of the sand) and the ones swimming around in the ocean however are randomly generated and just constantly respawn whenever you leave and then re-enter the area. *tl;dr* - you can theoretically permanently kill off everything that has a fixed spawn location, but everything else will still regenerate.
I constantly do 3-heart challenge runs ;) I always max out stamina and then proceed to ignore any further Spirit Orbs & Heart Containers the game tosses my way. The less icons on the screen, the better.
@@Wither_Strike Oh no lol sry lemme clarify. I didn't pay attention to how many heart containers the player had in the video, so when Liu said they had three hearts while holding the one-hit obliterator, I thought that meant they had all 3 heart containers filled and they weren't down to a quarter of a heart. I rewatched it and saw now that they just meant the player had a max health of only 3 hearts. That's my bad for not paying attention.
Honestly, the way it works in the lower Hyrule Castle should just be how Blood Moons work after the first time, have the music build up to it and keep Zelda telling you that the Blood Moon has risen once again and revive the enemies. There's no reason to disrupt gameplay with the same cutscene over and over again.
On a technical level, the Blood Moon is also used to clean up the memory. More specifically it hides the fact that the memory is cleaned during the cutscene without us noticing fps drops (since it can take a while to process). That's why some times if you explore the world with no shrine loading or teleportation for a few hours, there are Panic Blood Moons that triggers out of nowhere. That's when the console goes "Warning! Memory almost full!" and needs to unload stuff.
@@YeppohTube lol, makes sense that i got blood moons in the middle of the day since i decided to stop traveling with shrines and use a horse to cross the whole map instead
the first time I experienced a blood moon I was in Hateno. I was creeped out by the fact that non of the NPC's were acting scared or terrified. Of course I later learned that the bloodmoon is common in Hyrule and that everyone is used to it.
For some bonkers reason, my first bloodmoon was actually an overflow and happened midday. I was walking past some cows on my way up to Purah's Lab in Hateno in broad daylight when all of a sudden the sky turned red and a cutscene started and I damn near about shit my pants
When I first beat Vah Naboris, the Blood Moon was starting to rise during the cutscene where you entered the Beast, and it actually looked cool. On my second time around I was doing Vah Rudania and thought I still had one more day before it happened, but right in the middle of it it happened and had to rescue Yunobo from the Moblins at the second cannon, when I was right there at the last one.
I'm curious as to whether "panic" blood moons can happen in situations like this. panic blood moons being the last resort when the game is so overloaded that it throws a blood moon in your face so that it can start unloading assets and run properly
If you're in the middle of a miniboss fight and a blood moon happens, it doesn't reset the fight. I was fighting a molduga when the cutscene happened and its HP stayed the same.
I kinda wish the blood moon was more intimidating, I know that I’m asking for a lot but I wish the cutscene wasn’t actually a cutscene, rather an event that happens while you continue to play. I also wish that calamity Ganon was present when the blood moon hits. Maybe he could roar in front of it and fly around castle town
The game will prevent that from happening by having what was called by the community as Panic Bloodmoon, where Bloodmoon can appear any time of the day and the transition were much faster. Happened to me once, when I was traversing during midday in game.
I tried that once, and it doesn't 100% work. you can kill off all monsters that actually revive during the Blood Moon, like Bokoblins, Moblins, Lynels, Moldugas, Hinoxes, Wizzrobes, Guardians etc. but some monsters are not tied to the Blood Moon and will continue to spawn if their "spawn conditions" are met.

@@WolfLink_justlookingfordragon OH that's very interesting ! It makes for a very compelling headcanon that the monsters/animals that you CAN'T kill off indefinitely in that way are the "natural" creatures that would be there inhabiting Hyrule with or without Ganon/Demise/the curse's influence, and the others that you can wipe out and that respawn with Blood Moons are Ganon spawn that shouldn't be there naturally !
My first blood moon was on that one tower with the chest just outside the plateau. I was so terrified - I thought for a second the game was angry at my for climbing the tower lol
Blood moons seem to have a seemingly endless line of weirdness/bugs within botw. Theres a part of me that wonders how late blood moons were actually added during the whole production cycle of this game.
I previously glitched out of the shrine of resurrection so there would be no time and no blood moon. I killed every enemy in hyrule. It was glorious; I highly recommend. But there are a lot of things missing because of no time. There's no night, no fire flies, no stall monsters, etc. I know blood moons don't happen when you're in shrines. I'm going to start over and try using these tricks to skip every blood moon and clear all the enemies again, including night.
I think the blood moon can still happen even if you try to always skip it at midnight. It's a fairly well-known phenomenon in the game that sometimes a blood moon cutscene can just start out of nowhere and reset the world anyway, at any time of day. Apparently it has something to do with the game's memory becoming too full and it triggering a "panic blood moon" to reset the world and clear its memory. It happened to me once before after I'd been playing for hours and hours with no breaks.
I remember my first time through the game I got to the point where I'd pop into a shrine before midnight, and come out of it minutes later, knowing the scene had been skipped and monsters not reset. It was super effective for feeling like I was cleaning up the world map. I'm never sure how weird that makes me, but ah well. xD
suggestion for next video: kill all enemies in all of hyrule, exploiting these blood moon glitches. Then throw away all your weapons, shields as you don't need them anymore. Feed all the animals and let them multiply. Welcome to Animal Crossing Hyrule edition.
The quest "a parent's love" seemed to skip a blood moon when it forced me back to day, and now it takes forever to appear again. I had a blood moon earlier while sleeping and reloaded my save so that may be why
@@pokshimin That's weird and sounds like something the devs overlooked, because when you *actually* go to sleep when a blood moon is scheduled, you WILL get the a blood moon cutscene anyway My assumption would be that this quest is (should be) using the same "regular" sleep mechanic of the game, right?
i actually had the blood moon happen during the vah rudania attack, and while it doesnt respawn the sentries it DOES respawn the moblins that are there which i got frustrated about since i had JUST killed them
Ohh, cool to know! Thanks ;) I didn't check for the Moblins because at that point during the mission I hadn't reached them yet, and I just assumed that the Sentires not respawning automatically meant that no respawn happened at all ... maybe the Sentries are specifically exempt from ever respawning? If so, then they're not the only enemies that do this: after you've killed the Rider Bokoblins at Highland Stable, they, too, become specifically excempt from respawning because it would mess up the hurdle jumping minigame that becomes availiable after clearing the "Horseback Hoodlums" sidequest.
@@juan99moya Well yeah, but “I’m not currently within an overworld space, therefore overworld events will not occur” makes more sense than “Hey, my cooking skills were impressive enough to cause Xiao to drop the moon spirit back into the pond.”
I had a weird one the other day I was snow bowling at Pongo's lodge. I had just finished a round and finished talking to Pongo, saw the malice particles, hit the menu cause I just wanted to see how long the fast part of the blood moon theme would go/see if the cutscene would still activate on the pause menu, but then the particles disappeared and the music turned normal again. I didn't see the moon after that either...
I noticed one when I was doing the Typhlo Ruins and was outside around the edge of the water that surrounds it, the darkness effect made it look neat. It don’t remember it doing the particle effect though, and it didn’t play the cutscene.
Something very weird happened to me after exploring Hyrule Castle for the first time. I spent A LOT of time there and I think I skipped 2 Blood Moons in the process. After I left there was a regular Blood Moon right after, and then a glitch Blood Moon during daytime (I think it was 10am ou 12pm), while I was fighting a Lynel lol. Unfortunately, I was still a bit of a noob and didn't record it, so I have no proof. edit: grammar
Those are called "panic blood moons." As I understand it, the real purpose of a blood moon is to free up memory, and if the game runs dangerously low on memory it will trigger one at any time to avoid crashing, reduced performance, and other bugs. But don't quote me on that.
I had the same thing! The blood moon is a memory failsafe, and I purposely hung out at the castle for a few hours after I saw the particles appear and vanish to record one, after that I had lizalfos hitting me through walls, link freezing midair, items falling out of the world when I dropped them and other very interesting glitches as the game desperately tried to reset itself. Blood moons are fun to mess around with! In unrelated news, my switch is now completely nonfunctional! Wonder why that is, lmao.
I didn't actually know that this was a thing before I was in the one hit trial, and I was watching the blood moon because I love the cutscene and then it just didn't happen. I was like ???
@wolflink For the Divine Beasts, I had a Blood Moon happen while in the middle of Vah Medoh (my first beast) and everything did in fact regenerate. It was right before I activated the Windblight.
I had two blood moons in the same night yesterday, not sure what or how it happened.... Like, the usual music and particles came in, all normal, then after the first one neither faded out, and then got the second one, honestly it was very weird
When you teleport right before the cutscene you can avoid the blood moon for a long time (at least in my game it didn't appear for several nights, well it generally didn't appear a lot in my game)
Oh and also I’d like to add, the blood moon cutscene doesn’t happen when your inside shrines nor when you leave it. Enemies still respawn but when you enter a shrine like probably 11:55 ish the cutscene won’t happen when you leave the shrine
@@polishpatriot7953 I was pretty much at the beginning and I was at the same place as I was before only the destroyed Guardians came back so it wasn't too bad
That would probably cause some problems though, as much as blood moons are lame they're necessary to clean the games memory and restock on enemies, avoiding them alltogether would crash the game
Yes, sometimes they can happen midday or on a night they weren't going to at all, or just trigger the cutscene without one even being up, because the game needs it to
@@rainbowdoves4318 if you're quick enough you can avoid it by teleporting/getting into a shrine but it's really inconvenient and comes out of nowhere so it's best to just let the normal blood moon happeb
Blood Moon: "I'm feeling especially EVIL tonight."
Link: "I'm going to do a minigame."
Blood Moon: "Understandable, have a great night."

That must have been a panic moon in that case. That triggers because the game thinks there is something wrong.

@@iacobus4227 i've 100%ed this game twice over the course of 4 years and didn't know this. so other people definitely don't either.
@@neptunites that just says a lot about you.
@@iacobus4227 okay you can take your head out of your ass now...
@@neptunites are you offended? Awwww
1:12 it looks like a solar eclipse :)
It does! That's actually pretty cool!
Here, monsters are not safe, here....monsters will never be free
Everything is all right in ba sing say
I remember my first time through the game I got to the point where I'd pop into a shrine before midnight, and come out of it minutes later, knowing the scene had been skipped and monsters not reset. It was super effective for feeling like I was cleaning up the world map. I'm never sure how weird that makes me, but ah well. xD
suggestion for next video: kill all enemies in all of hyrule, exploiting these blood moon glitches. Then throw away all your weapons, shields as you don't need them anymore. Feed all the animals and let them multiply. Welcome to Animal Crossing Hyrule edition.
Thats gonna be really hard
Ganon just wants us to have a good fkin night
The blood moon on top of hyrule castle just looks like a sola
r eclipse to me
1:11 The day of black sun
If the moon was naturally triggered, the cutoff means it didn't change anything. If it was a panic blood moon, it still reset the cache file.
panic blood moon? what's that?
@@Voxen712 It triggers if the game thinks there's something seriously wrong, like it's about to run out of memory or a process is taking too long.
@@macoud12 oh okay, thanks
The amount of time it would've taken to get each blood moon at the appropriate locations
we must have a minute of silence
Not that much, because if the bloodmoon is delayed, it will just happen the next night
@@ZaraStocher ok
I remember that I got a blood moon on the Eventide Island in expert mode 💀 And of course I died.
The quest "a parent's love" seemed to skip a blood moon when it forced me back to day, and now it takes forever to appear again. I had a blood moon earlier while sleeping and reloaded my save so that may be why
Forced how? And I don't see how reloading shortly after a bloodmoon could prevent another bloodmoon from happening?
@@polishpatriot7953 i reloaded shortly before the blood moon, and that quest had time move straight to day as if I slept
@@pokshimin That's weird and sounds like something the devs overlooked, because when you *actually* go to sleep when a blood moon is scheduled, you WILL get the a blood moon cutscene anyway
My assumption would be that this quest is (should be) using the same "regular" sleep mechanic of the game, right?
@@pokshimin But I still can't see why that would prevent any future blood moon
@@polishpatriot7953 yeah I don't either, could be completely unrelated to that, but that's what I thought
there is no war in ba sing se
i actually had the blood moon happen during the vah rudania attack, and while it doesnt respawn the sentries it DOES respawn the moblins that are there which i got frustrated about since i had JUST killed them
Ohh, cool to know! Thanks ;) I didn't check for the Moblins because at that point during the mission I hadn't reached them yet, and I just assumed that the Sentires not respawning automatically meant that no respawn happened at all ... maybe the Sentries are specifically exempt from ever respawning?
If so, then they're not the only enemies that do this: after you've killed the Rider Bokoblins at Highland Stable, they, too, become specifically excempt from respawning because it would mess up the hurdle jumping minigame that becomes availiable after clearing the "Horseback Hoodlums" sidequest.
1:11 is that blood moon or black sun
I once somehow managed to cancel a blood moon by cooking exactly at midnight. Still not sure how that worked, to be honest.
If you enter a shrine when it's about to happen it gets cancelled
@@juan99moya Well yeah, but “I’m not currently within an overworld space, therefore overworld events will not occur” makes more sense than “Hey, my cooking skills were impressive enough to cause Xiao to drop the moon spirit back into the pond.”
@@thatguyjared8560 XD im dead thanks for that
@@thatguyjared8560 Incredible reference, applause to you.
I had a weird one the other day
I was snow bowling at Pongo's lodge. I had just finished a round and finished talking to Pongo, saw the malice particles, hit the menu cause I just wanted to see how long the fast part of the blood moon theme would go/see if the cutscene would still activate on the pause menu, but then the particles disappeared and the music turned normal again. I didn't see the moon after that either...
I noticed one when I was doing the Typhlo Ruins and was outside around the edge of the water that surrounds it, the darkness effect made it look neat. It don’t remember it doing the particle effect though, and it didn’t play the cutscene.
Something very weird happened to me after exploring Hyrule Castle for the first time. I spent A LOT of time there and I think I skipped 2 Blood Moons in the process. After I left there was a regular Blood Moon right after, and then a glitch Blood Moon during daytime (I think it was 10am ou 12pm), while I was fighting a Lynel lol.
Unfortunately, I was still a bit of a noob and didn't record it, so I have no proof.
edit: grammar
this is a very recent comment

Those are called "panic blood moons." As I understand it, the real purpose of a blood moon is to free up memory, and if the game runs dangerously low on memory it will trigger one at any time to avoid crashing, reduced performance, and other bugs. But don't quote me on that.
I had the same thing! The blood moon is a memory failsafe, and I purposely hung out at the castle for a few hours after I saw the particles appear and vanish to record one, after that I had lizalfos hitting me through walls, link freezing midair, items falling out of the world when I dropped them and other very interesting glitches as the game desperately tried to reset itself. Blood moons are fun to mess around with! In unrelated news, my switch is now completely nonfunctional! Wonder why that is, lmao.
I think with vah rudania the map is loaded a bit differently but i’m not sure
It has a whole inside volcano. In comparrison it is wayy larger than overworld deathmountain
During my first ever visit to hyrule castle, I had this happen, twice
this makes me happy that i see an avatar reference in a zelda video
Loving your videos man
I was in hyrule castle when a blood moon happened and when the cutscene just didn't that kinda caught me off gaurd
I love the Avatar reference
I was so confused at first - i actually thought there was a place called ba sing se that I havent visited yet then i was like ooooooohh
Lower castle blood moon thing has always happened I have never known for sure if it was a blood moon or just some effect thanks
Welcome to BAE SA SAING
I didn't actually know that this was a thing before I was in the one hit trial, and I was watching the blood moon because I love the cutscene and then it just didn't happen. I was like ???
I didn't know this was a thing I watched the blood moon rise and go away once and I thought I'd gone mad
the monsters won't return by it until the next night and the blood moon still appears by that
If you are doing the yiga clan quest you can effectively skip the blood moon and it will appear the next night!
I believe entering a shrine will also have the same effect.
@wolflink For the Divine Beasts, I had a Blood Moon happen while in the middle of Vah Medoh (my first beast) and everything did in fact regenerate. It was right before I activated the Windblight.
1:32 that looks like an eclipse
I had two blood moons in the same night yesterday, not sure what or how it happened....
Like, the usual music and particles came in, all normal, then after the first one neither faded out, and then got the second one, honestly it was very weird
Maybe the second one was a panic blood moon
Love the title
God, I love your videos
When you teleport right before the cutscene you can avoid the blood moon for a long time (at least in my game it didn't appear for several nights, well it generally didn't appear a lot in my game)
Dude u are growing so fast the last time I saw ur subs u had 300
1:34 as my Urbosa amibo falls on the ground...
Urbosa’s amiibo is now ready to fall
Purfect
i got a blood moon on rudania and it revived the guardian scouts if anyone’s wondering
Oh and also I’d like to add, the blood moon cutscene doesn’t happen when your inside shrines nor when you leave it. Enemies still respawn but when you enter a shrine like probably 11:55 ish the cutscene won’t happen when you leave the shrine
The reason it happens during the fight agains rudania is probably to revive the moblins near the cannons
the best way for me at least is to hop into shrines and just kill time being an idiot
Very thorough, as always!
1:11 It looks like a black hole!
There is no blood moon in Ba Sing Se.
i need to play this game again
hahaaha i laughed at the ba sing se reference. always a good one when you're trying to refer to an area with peace ahhaa good one keep it up!
Blood moons don't happen when you're in shrine either
I got a bloodmoon during the fight with Rudania
You mean, Fireblight Ganon? I don't think it's even possible. I thought that's one of instances when blood moon won't happen
@@polishpatriot7953 No, I meant that where you have to shoot Yunobo at Rudania and appearently it's possible there 🤷♀️
@@einePerson- Ok, but is it that annyoing, though?
@@polishpatriot7953 I was pretty much at the beginning and I was at the same place as I was before only the destroyed Guardians came back so it wasn't too bad
@@einePerson- the sentrys do not respawn
You can actually stop blood moons indefinitely by entering shrines on nights they are meant to happen, and wait the time out.
That would probably cause some problems though, as much as blood moons are lame they're necessary to clean the games memory and restock on enemies, avoiding them alltogether would crash the game
@@gukeoke6312 I'm pretty sure the game has a special event where it forces a blood moon in that case, no matter the time of day
Yes, sometimes they can happen midday or on a night they weren't going to at all, or just trigger the cutscene without one even being up, because the game needs it to
@@rainbowdoves4318 if you're quick enough you can avoid it by teleporting/getting into a shrine but it's really inconvenient and comes out of nowhere so it's best to just let the normal blood moon happeb
@@rainbowdoves4318 yep, they're called panic blood moons
1:34 Urbosa's Fury is ready.
This is weird because I had a blood moon while on vah ruta. It didn't revive anything but i could see the moon being red
It also wont happen in shrines
