The SECRET Mechanics of Blood Moon in TOTK

listen the Blood Moon is really important in your  game and I'm gonna teach you why you can use the   blood moon to your advantage and all the tips  and tricks surrounding the blood moon it's a very   chaotic thing it's a Blood Moon also check out  the room I made the room blood moon theme for the   video let's get into it let's talk about some of  the basics of Blood Moons a blood moon is a game   mechanic that resets the game World respawning  enemies and the environment and that occurs at 12   am in Game Time midnight while actively playing in  the Overworld this will take place after 2 hours   48 minutes and 15 seconds or you can round it up  to three hours of real world play time or 7 Days   in game for those that don't know in the world  of Tears of the Kingdom time flows differently as   one minute in real life is equivalent to one hour  in game this natural blood moon is triggered by a   timer in the game code that counts uninterrupted  play time what I mean by uninterrupted play time   is that you just have to have the game on without  any menus Maps cutscenes sleeping or weapon hot   swapping basically you want to keep the game  running the entire time the mechanic of the   blood moon is not only for respawning enemies  but also allows the game to fix itself before   potential crashes and I'll get more into the whole  entire game crashing kind of thing with the blood   moon later on in the video one of the big myths  that people have when it comes to getting a blood   moon to progress is by simply going to a campfire  and sleeping there non-stop over and over again   that actually does not progress the time in this  example if I'm going to speed this up you can see   that I am resetting at a campfire over and over  again and I do it like over seven times so that   kind of throws away the myth that hey if I just  keep sleeping over and over or resting until a   new day it's gonna happen no it doesn't happen  unless it is already programmed to happen the   next day now here's an example where I have a  blood moon that I know is gonna happen because   I saved earlier in the day before it happened  so if I go ahead and sleep right before that   blood moon then you can see that okay the blood  moon is now going to trigger versus me just Spam   ending sleep so keep that in mind that you cannot  just rush into a Blood Moon by sleeping over and   over again it has to be set for that day just like  the time I mentioned so there's a trick that you   can avoid the blood moon and make it progress to  the next day and you're gonna be able to do this   when it comes very close to time so in my game  currently there is a Blood Moon that's happening   as you can see by the sky and you can see the  time is progressing very close to midnight you   can first avoid it by going to the depths by going  to the depths that's going to stop the blood moon   from triggering and when you teleport back I do  it really close to time and I come back exactly   at midnight you can see that look the blood moon  did not occur nothing happened we didn't get any   cutscene another trick that you can do is by  waiting close to time then hopping right inside   of a shrine and then coming out of the shrine  and then you will not see the blood moon now I   also wanted to experiment with this in a cave so  as time was getting very close I did walk into a   cave but you can see that the blood moon does  trigger as I'm running into this cave you can   see the whole ground and the stuff go red and it  begins now I previously went into a cave earlier   in other footage and I noticed that the earlier  you are in a cave the blood moon can be avoided   but I would like you all to test this exact  section out of when you show up in a cave versus   being close to a cave when the blood Moon's about  to happen it's a little tricky but I think caves   can also do this based on my various footage here  about the caves what if you just wanted to wait   naturally for a blood moon to happen well there's  also a trick for that now I did mention that the   blood moon takes about three hours in order for  it to occur but let's say you wanted to go out   or someone came over or you have a barbecue well  you can use the shrine to your advantage for this   example so all you have to do is just go inside of  a shrine and just stand there literally leave your   game on AFK now in order to have a proper AFK in  your game without your switch going on sleep press   the home button go into your system settings and  then go down to sleep mode you're going to want   to make sure that the auto sleep option is said  to never that way your game can run consistently   if you leave your character long enough in the  shrine just waiting you can walk out of the shrine   and then teleport over to a campfire or go to a  cooking pot and you can advance the day and if   enough time has passed just like we mentioned for  a blood moon to occur it should happen right after   you go to sleep or Advance the time forward hey  real quick if you're enjoying the these kinds of   videos make sure to hit that subscribe button it's  real quick just hit it so let's talk about one   of the big benefits of the blood moon and this is  going to be known as critical cooking but exactly   how do you critical cook well when a blood moon is  destined to happen and you know it's gonna happen   wait for 11 30. literally 11 30 p.m at night via  the game is going to be when you're going to be   able to cook critical food so what I like to do  is if I see the blood moon rising a little bit   earlier than that I immediately will go towards  a cooking spot and we'll start to cook food by   cooking food right before a blood moon that is  going to give you a lot more benefits meaning the   time on the Buffs will go up the amount of Hearts  you'll get per meal will go up a lot of things are   going to be interesting that you would get via  doing this at 11 30 then going and doing this   beforehand so save your big cooking before a blood  moon now here's something very interesting about   cooking and the blood moon and how you can keep  cooking because obviously the more you cook you're   going to be pausing the screen and time's gonna  move a little slower but eventually at a certain   point time will slowly move forward till the blood  moon is going to kick in so what you want to do is   you want to start cooking from 11 30 and you  want to stop close to about 11 50 or around 11   55. right after that you're going to want to enter  a shrine by entering the shrine like we mentioned   before the blood moon will skip now because of  the skip you can walk back out and the blood moon   has delayed to the next day so what you want to  do is you're going to repeat your cooking again   and again until you feel you've cooked enough  food to let the blood moon run so basically   it's a critical cooking chain if you would like  to call it and it's going to be beneficial to   stocking up all your overpowered food did you  know that there are actually two cutscenes for   the blood moon in tears of the Kingdom one with  Zelda always announcing about the blood moon and   one without her and after a certain point it gets  really annoying to keep hearing Zelda talk about   the blood moon because I already understand what  it's about so in order to get rid of her you're   going to have to beat all four temples or Dungeons  and continue the main story questline that'll lead   you into Hyrule Castle I'm not gonna spoil what  exactly happens but just do that follow them in   questline and you know that the blood moon  is going to disappear after a certain point   that's why I have cut scenes in my game where  I don't have Zelda now there is something that   does cause a fake simulated blood moon to occur  in the game and that's going to be whenever you   encounter gloomance as you can see here is where  I approach a spot where glue hand shows up and   as soon as Gloom hands appears I'm gonna turn to  the sky and you can see that oh all of a sudden   the sky is getting red and moving really fast but  you can notice that there's not really a moon it's   more like a little layering over the Sun so you  can see that sun over there now in order for you   to get rid of this fake blood moon it's not gonna  respawn anything it's not gonna cause anything to   happen you just have to beat Gloom hands simply  to get rid of this and something I like to do is   you can either use aoes Elemental attacks or you  can simply use a strong powerful bow and I'm using   my bow with a 40 attachment give dough bones to  take it out pretty quick and then right after that   you're going to have Phantom Ganon show up so the  the fake blood moon is still going to be happening   above you just go ahead beat up fake Ganon bite  you could either Dodge or just I'm going for head   shots here non-stop with my bow and after that  Phantom Ganon disappears you're going to be able   to have the sky clear up so this is just for you  not to be confused with the real blood moon in   case you were wondering so if you want to trigger  a Blood Moon whenever you you want basically to   reset something you can come over here to any cave  that has a rock wall formation the one I'm exactly   standing in is going to be located right over  here at the tanagar canyon West Cave so you can   see exactly where I am on the map it's south of  Dorito Village and it's across Hyrule Ridge right   over here and to make things easier I dropped the  Traveler's medal in here so that I can always come   here anytime I want and what I'm gonna do is I'm  gonna go ahead and save right over here I always   like to save right before I pull this trick off  and what you want to have is a multi-shot bow very   easy to get off any Lino it doesn't matter what  you kill and what you're going to want also is   an opal the fun part is we're gonna just hop off  like this go into your little arrow time and then   boom and you're just gonna basically lag out your  game and this is going to cause the entire system that is bad okay so I'm just gonna go ahead and  then reload the save I just made and now the   system is like Whoa We Gotta reset all the  memory here things have gone in absolutely   chaotic and when we load back in you could see  the blood moon is now triggering there you go   just like that you have reset the entire game  everything is respawned weapons have respawned   so if you don't want to lose any durability on  your bow or lose any materials like the Opals   then this is going to be what you need to do now  there are a ton of mini bosses in the game that   you'll find throughout the entire map you'll find  gliox linos flux constructs and even rematches of   tempo bosses in the depths but in this example I  just wanted to show you what a mini boss is going   to be like when a Blood Moon occurs so I'm  heading towards this glioc right now and I'm   just gonna go ahead and beat it up and knock  it out and destroy it okay so this boss dead terrifying it is when a Blood Moon happens as it  shows up all right blood Moon's in the sky 11 35   let's wait for the cutscene at 12 and see what  happens here we go oh my gosh that is terrifying   the boss boss right in front of you and these are  not just for gliox they happen for lionels they   happen for high knocks they happen for maldugas  anything you can find flux constructs in the sky   and all the monsters in the depths also respawn  this is gonna happen with every single mini boss   in the game one of my favorite places to go after  a blood moon resets for mini bosses actually is   going to be the floating Colosseum underneath in  the depths this is pretty much the spot where I   get to keep fighting the entire linos over and  over again and if you didn't know this is where   you're going to be getting Majora's Mask in the  game so I have a lot of fun just coming in here   and going ahead and just beating up Lionel's it's  it's it's a lot of fun it's a good way to farm a   lot of materials for these lionels so yeah make  sure you go ahead and drop a travel Medallion   here now we can always come down to the spot now  in this section of the video I want to go over   some examples of different things in the game that  is going to happen before a blood moon and things   that happen after the blood moon let's start with  pristine weapon statues or the ghost soldiers down   in the depths now in this location underneath  the depths I'm going to head over to this nice   big Stone structure here that's going to have  three ghost statues on it now what I'm going to   be doing is I'm going to grab their weapons and  just throw them off a Blood Moon passes then I'm   gonna come back here and see after the blood moon  that all the soldiers are here again with weapons   so this is what you need to do when you want to  recycle weapons on go Soldiers by the way we have   an entire video explaining the crazy system of  all the pristine weapons down here there's way   better weapons than these ones so you're going to  want to check out that video for information on   this now let's talk about pose now I also wanted  to test out pose and see if they would respond   during a blood moon so I went down to the one  underneath Hyrule Castle area in the apps over   there and right by this light root there were a  bunch of pose so I went to collect every single   one of them now I waited and right after the  blood moon occurred I went back to that Poe   area and I noticed there weren't as many pose  as there were before which makes me think this   is based on the tick system so the further you  are away from pose they have a chance to respawn   one percent chance over every second so that's the  reason why it's not based on the blood moon if you   notice anything different feel free to comment  down below that's what I got from my testing I   also wanted to test out ore deposits to see if  blood moon actually does reset these so I went   over to this cave before the blood moon happened  and started to break a bunch of ore deposit after   breaking all the ore deposits I walked away  from the cave a Blood Moon happened and then   I Revisited the entire cave on the Outside The  Ore deposit was still there when it went inside   all the ore deposits were actually not there at  all they were it was just gone just the way I   broke them so it looks like blood moons don't  respawn or deposit so so keep that in mind for   the surface next I decided to test out an enemy  camp I'm going to be heading over to Lookout   Landing and I want to just make it known ahead of  time that I did clean out this entire Camp there   are no more enemies in this area so as I arrive at  Lookout Landing you can see that it is completely   empty now what I want to do here is just destroy  a bunch of items because in a way this is going to   be showing what's going to happen when I blow up  all the items break everything uh see what happens   does it respond what responds with the enemy camp  resets so I go ahead and break every single thing   here explosions crates you name it and right  before this next clip I want to let you know   that I moved away and come back over time so this  is what happened okay so I just wanted to say all   the items in this current area where I am in the  Hyrule Field Skyview Tower have reappeared but   that's because the game has a one second tick time  that brought them back so this has nothing to do   with the blood moon these are here right before  the blood moon just the spiky ball didn't appear   yet so that's gonna have to to come very soon  so I'm just gonna wait here until the blood moon   happens at 12 o'clock and we'll get to see what  exactly happens the big silver basketball Goblin   should appear right in front of me let's wait okay  I'm waiting but it's thunderstorming so I just had   to turn this on so I don't die also real quick I  should probably move this so this doesn't blow up   and kill me there we go okay now let's wait for  the bottle okay hey it's me again 11 35 no time   has passed for you because of editing right here's  the blood moon it's happening and I'm gonna stand   right over here and just as we predict we should  get a silver boss showing up I don't know if that   steel ball counts as a weapon or an object so I'm  curious if that's gonna show up as soon as the   blood moon happens all right here we go blood moon  cutscene and I'm just gonna fast forward past it   okay and everyone's here and the question oh that  does count as a weapon oh my gosh okay there we   go we know that uh the steel balls are counted  as weapons so that is your example of weapons   respawning that is actually something really  good to know that is a weapon very good info   all right well you saw all the enemies and steel  balls including regular weapons all respawn so I   want to do another experiment before the blood  moon and chop a bunch of trees and grab their   apples and what we're gonna do is basically  chop a bunch of trees so I'm just going to   kind of clear out as many trees as I can and  then we're gonna wait for the blood moon to   happen quick update I have chopped every single  tree and picked up as many apples as I can from   here I'll just be standing here waiting to see  what happens and it's 11 40. it's rising above   and we're gonna see if anything respawns in  this area we we did rocks but now we're doing   plant life and fruits here it comes if you pay  attention and look all the trees I cut are still   cut but there are some trees that are showing up  here but they look a little little sus because I   remember coming here before and killing off  some of these trees and they should get off   the ground and attack me yes because they  are enemies and it looks like the enemies   have only respawned so you get apples that do  respond technically this is technical okay so   there's your answer and that does answer the  question now you know that it only works on   the trees that are enemies so before the blood  moon also buy the apple trees on Satori Mountain   there's also this Ox by this little puddle of  water here and I just went ahead and killed it   after a Blood Moon happened and I came back to  this location I was able to see this nice Ox   again and I went ahead and shot it killed it  and got myself some nice meat so yes animals   also respawn with the blood moon and you can get  yourself some nice cooking materials and some good   food from them get that prime meat now you're an  expert at the blood moon but are you an expert   at this check out this video over here and click  on it seriously it you'll learn something from it
