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.

      Makes sense. Probably safer than my ass exploring a cave and when I get toward the end of it having a blood moon respawn everything. I’ve made mistake and I seem to still not learn.

          Those gloom hands can fuck RIGHT off. They’re not quite as scary / devastating as early game now I’m also 100+ hrs in, but they’re a nightmare to fight. Though tbf I do suck at the combat.

          I’ll never forget my first encounter, desperately trying to escape, dying horribly because in my panic I didn’t think to just warp away.

              OMG! Thanks for this. I will definitely use it. Puffshrooms are so under utilized in my game play, but I need to change that up.

              Thank you very much for this tip! My tactics after fighting them 3 times now are generally to try not to get surrounded (easier said than done), wiggle the directional stick like crazy whenever captured (often lets you escape and land a hit without taking damage), and use something fast / distanced like a powerful spear. Looks like as usual I’ve been doing it the hard way :)

                No problem!

                It took me longer to work out than it should, after trying almost everything else on them, lol ;)

                I just chuck a couple around me as the handy boys are approaching, then go to town unmolested!

                  I will no longer fear the handy boys (great name, giving them a name suitable for a gigolo duo further reduces their scariness)
