The first time I "encountered" one of these, I didn't even see it. It was near / under the Morok shrine (that mini floating island near the Floret Sandbar). Just as I was halfway done climbing the roots, the sky went red (during daytime), eerie music started, and I was like "Huh, seems like the Panic Blood Moon is still a thing...." and just continued climbing. It didn't occur to me at all to look down so I missed that enemy completely. When I jumped down after activating the terminal (not doing the shrine yet) the music was normal again and I wondered what that "Dark Clump" is doing on the ground. I figured it must have been a Panic Blood Moon meteor or something? An item that fell from the blood red sky?

...so of course the next time I heard that music, I just stopped and looked upwards, determined to find that "meteor", and almost had a heart attack when a malice-infested "Death Hand" grabbed Link from offscreen <__< ... oh the joy of playing games blind and drawing dumb conclusions ...

It took me almost a full playthrough before I dared to fight those things, and yes, I too used the "carpet bomb with multishot bow" approach.... and then almost had a heart attack again once I saw the name above the health bar of the "follow-up" enemy, lol. The "second phase" is still easier IMHO.

That monster scared me so much I immediately switched to map and beamed to some shrine whenever I encountered that abomination. Was pretty proud when I didn't run away and (barely) made it to high ground.

♦ Rules ♦


1. Stay Civil

This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.


2. Mark Spoilers

It is okay to post about "related games" (such as Age of Calamity and Breath of the Wild) but please use the spoiler "censor" and do not put spoilers directly into the title, as the censor doesn't work this way. Posts about other Zelda games might be suited better in general Zelda communities, like the ones listed at the bottom of the sidebar.


3. Offtopic Posts

Anything not related to BotW, like politics, religion, non-Zelda games etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.


4. No Advertisements

It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.


5. Provide Sources

If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)


6. Suggestions are Welcome!

Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)
