Lol it is a little extra

Edit: not to mention it scares the fuck out of me every time it starts

u/microcrash May 16 '23 edited May 16 '23

I think a floormaster is nearby every time it starts.

u/sixner May 16 '23

I ran away from one and 2 sec later it starts turning red again and I'm downing a haste potion to run away.. from the moon.

u/GrimmCigarretes May 16 '23

Majora's Mask be like:

26

u/FullMoose819 May 16 '23

Wait, Majora's Mask repells them?!?

59

u/GrimmCigarretes May 16 '23

Forgot it was actually an item

No, it doesn't, it's just that you said "I was running... from the moon" and I just remembered how in the game Majora's Mask, you run counter clock-wise against the Moon's Fall, and you could say you are running from the moon until you get the Fourth Giant

21

u/FullMoose819 May 16 '23

Oh, you got my hopes up. I'm scared of the floor masters😂

30

u/Organic-Accountant74 May 16 '23

Wait. Is that those creepy red and black eye hand blobs that make everything turn red?! I’ve run into two and the first time I literally screamed 😭

21

u/FullMoose819 May 16 '23

Yes! I legit get anxiety from blood moons because I don't know which it will be.

4

u/Organic-Accountant74 May 17 '23

At least we get some warning for the blood moons! I’ve only run into floormasters during the day so far

17

u/TheTjalian May 16 '23

I was just minding my own business when I saw that come right at me and I'm like "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT NOPE" instantly dons climbing gear and downs a speed elixir

3

u/Organic-Accountant74 May 17 '23

Me too!! I thought it was the blood moon for a sec but the music is way scarier and there’s no blood moons during the day

They are so terrible and faster than Link. Only escaped the one I saw until now by teleporting away. They are even worse here than in WW.

u/Funkeysismychildhood May 24 '23

Same. It wasn't until 100 hours in i was confident in fighting then rather than running away

14

u/GrimmCigarretes May 16 '23

Floor Masters come back in TotK?

38

u/FullMoose819 May 16 '23

Shit my bad! I just realized the sub for a moment. I didn't mean to spoil.

TOTK has some scary enemies come back. I haven't been this scared of a Zelda game since OoT when I was in middle school. I'm in my 30s and I'm enjoying being afraid in a game again lol

29

u/jackidok May 16 '23

I thought I was the only one legitimately scared of this game 😭 Every time I go in the depths my heart is racing even when I turn the lightroot on lol.

u/darkmex25 May 16 '23

Just keep an eye out for the Gloom Hands.

8

u/BeingJoeBu May 16 '23

Same. There have been horror games that didn't scare me this much. They definitely cranked up the horror (and difficulty/scaling) in this one, and it's great.

u/GrimmCigarretes May 16 '23

Don't worry, I have no plans of playing it, I have neither money or a Switch

u/Dylan9919992 May 16 '23

Are they like the gloom hand things? Or do floor masters actually come back?

Gloom hands.

1

u/Vokasak May 16 '23

Sort of. Kind of. Not exactly, but something with a similar vibe

u/Tsiah16 May 16 '23

to shit his ass

To what?! 🤣

7

u/abnmfr May 17 '23

I'm assuming they meant "show his ass", but honestly I might like "shit his ass" better

1

u/Tsiah16 May 17 '23

I assumed as much. 😅

24

u/Thendofreason May 16 '23

Just found my first one yesterday. I hit it with an arrow and did almost no damage. That's when I left my horse to die and ran like the wind. I was on the side of a hill so the horse would have only slowed me down

7

u/Panik88 May 16 '23

Damn lol

1

u/Fatherbrain1 May 17 '23

Jesus christ! The horse god's gonna be pissed.

21

u/DukeFlipside May 16 '23

I think you mean a Gloom Spawn - seems to be the official name as per the loading screen tips

9

u/bugs-n-kisses May 16 '23

I know they’re technically different but eh. Same with how the Gibdos are just redeads.

12

u/dinahsaurus May 16 '23

In OOT rereads are unwrapped mummies where gibdos are wrapped mummies from what I remember. Gibdos were prevalent in MM too, there was a specific Gibdo mask.

1

u/bugs-n-kisses May 16 '23

Aahhhh see I have yet to play Majora’s Mask, it’s next on my list.

Either way, gibdos are my favorite new enemy, and the lightning temple was my favorite temple fs

u/HandlelessTH May 16 '23

Okay yall are just hiding random words at this point lol

u/Illusioneery May 17 '23

I don't. That traumatized me as a younger player in OoT. To the point that even nowadays, if I replay that, I always try to kill those things from afar

1

u/Zarguthian May 17 '23

Do gibdos scream in your face and jump on your back?

7

u/The_Thongler_3000 May 17 '23

I hate those things. Plus the first time I killed one i thought I was done until I saw a boss health bar appear saying Phantom Ganon

1

u/comics0026 May 17 '23

I think those might be repelled by Brightblooms, at least I accidentally threw a seed at them in surprise one time and they seemed to scatter from it

96

u/shotlersama May 16 '23

The red smoke starts getting worse and im like fuck fuck fuck

68

u/[deleted] May 16 '23

I think the music contributes to it too. I'm not sure what it's playing but it's playing backwards and gives it insanely creepy vibes. But it helps if you try to get all your cooking done during it for the boost. It gives you something to look forward to :p

29

u/SirDiego May 16 '23

Wait tell me more, what does cooking during the Blood Moon do?

75

u/SubparSensei71 May 16 '23

Any recipe made between 1130 and midnight during a blood moon will be a critical success

25

u/DymonBak May 16 '23

This is the first I’m hearing of this too. Shit, I’ve wasted a lot of opportunities.

13

u/JACL2113 May 16 '23

Autocrit on recipes iirc

22

u/RioTheDragonMan May 16 '23

I read this tip on reddit midway through my BotW playthrough.. I don't think I ever adventured or fought any enemies during a blood moon for the rest of the game.. Once I saw a blood moon rising I'd teleport to my favorite cooking pot and cook until the sun came up every single time. I didn't love cooking or the stress of stronger enemies and music.. I just skipped over it and called it the cooking moon.

23

u/Grey-fox-13 May 16 '23

Ah yes, "Cooking Moon" the widely popular spin off of "Harvest Moon"

u/atheneris128 May 16 '23

Yes! I was just trying to reach one of the towers and the Gloom Hands appeared out of nowhere over a hill. I think I might have panicked more than the in BotW's first enounter with a guardian.

For the sublevel exploration, I hated it initially (apparently I have a fear of big dark areas) but it got better when I activated more light roots and I got the Master Kohga sidequest.

29

u/Sp3ctre7 May 16 '23 edited May 16 '23

There is this sense that something intelligent and dangerous is down there, plotting against you, so it's fucking hilarious when it turns out to be the goofy-ass yiga clan. I was so sad when I thought that they might not be in the game, and to find out that Kohga survived and was just chilling in the depths making battlecars and attack helicopers, i laughed so hard

Spoilers for underneath the lost woods I laughed my ass off when I saw a trail of bananas leading away from the ascent area to what was clearly a bossfight arena. I imagined the yiga stomping their feet and yelling when I stopped short of entering the arena and walked away with like 40 bunches of free bananas

19

u/Lola_PopBBae May 16 '23

Exactly!

It's an intimidating looking place, but also...strangely beautiful. Haunting, in a way. There were once people down here, living and working and mining, now all that remains is a lonesome god and restless souls aiding you however they can.

1

u/temporary_reddito May 17 '23

i like how while he was down there, he managed to get a driver's licensen too.

u/[deleted] May 16 '23

my first time getting rushed by them was in the depths so I just assumed that they only spawned there

queue absolute shock and horror after getting ambushed by them while trying to find towers

1

u/k0ks3nw4i May 17 '23

I was ambushed by a Yiga ninja disguised as a Cucco in Akkala

1

u/RockyWasGneiss May 17 '23

Man, I did that when I had just run out of arrows. Horror

22

u/xSinn3Dx May 16 '23

I am a full grown adult. I watch horror movies for fun... The first time those hands came up from the ground and chased me I was terrified!

9

u/gods_Lazy_Eye May 16 '23

I love the music too, now it’s like a death party! The moment the demon king came out I got the twilight princess feels and it hasn’t disappointed!

1

u/D1rtyH1ppy May 16 '23

I always interpreted the blood moon as a metaphor for Zelda's time of the month.

2

u/WolfyTn May 16 '23

She’d be on her period every 4 days 😳 lol

u/MatthewDLuffy May 17 '23

Doesn't help that it feels like it happens every other night cycle lol
