What are some of your routines when a blood moon hits?
I was working on upgrading my barbarian set, so I fought some lynels and got a few fairies from some stable wells. I’m assuming some people have a bigger checklist for blood moons and I’m looking to grow mine.
I try to cook a couple things. Anything you cook from 11:30-Midnight on a bloodmoon has a guaranteed critical success!
You can mark the rare ore deposits on your map and go back to them after a blood moon if you need the money, or the gems for other reasons.
I have also marked the locations of Rock Octoroks on my map, and I go back to them to refresh my weapons. I’m at the point where I have a bunch of Silver Lynel weapons with different abilities, and I make sure I don’t break them. I go back to the Rock Octoroks once in a while to refresh them.
You can even refresh Demon King Bows and champion weapons this way, except it requires extra steps. Normally the octoroks won’t refresh special weapons, but this trick makes it work: have the young Goron in Tarrey Town take off their fused item, so you have a plain champion weapon, then fuse that weapon (or a DK bow) to some other weapon and let a Rock Octorok eat it. Not only will it refresh the base weapon, it will refresh the fused champion weapon as well. Then you go back to the Goron kid a second time to pop off the special weapon and you reattach whatever fused item you want on it. Saves you from having to spend Diamonds and such to remake broken champion weapons. The Scimitar of the Seven is 138 damage with a fused Silver Lynel horn!
I’ve thought about the fusing trick some and I got a question. When the champion weapon is fused and about to break and you take it to Tarrey Town to break it down, does that fused monster part (silver lynels horn) need to get repaired somehow? Or is it auto repaired when it gets removed from the weapon?
The monster parts never break unless the weapon breaks. For a long time, even before I knew about Scimitar of the Seven, or even Rock Octoroks, I was having the Goron kid break gems off of magical rods before they break, and same with Silver Lynel horns. The parts stack in your inventory, so they are indistinguishable from each other to the game. You can use the same 3-5 Lynel horns the entire game. That’s what I’ve been doing.
If you’re really hard up for money, you can go around killing Wizrobes just for popping off the gems.
