Manipulating the blood moon in 'Breath of the Wild' is one of those weirdly satisfying glitches that feels like bending the game’s rules to your will. The blood moon usually resets enemies and loot every in-game week, but if you’re impatient (or just farming Lynels), you can force it. Here’s how: first, head to the shrine near the Lost Woods called 'Muwo Jeem.' Save your game inside, then warp to the shrine and wait by the campfire until night. If the sky turns red, you’ve triggered it! If not, reload and try again. It’s finicky, but once you get the timing down, it’s like flipping a switch for infinite monster respawns.
Some players swear by another method—keeping the game running for around 2 hours and 48 minutes of real time (the equivalent of 7 in-game days) while avoiding cutscenes or menu pauses. The game’s internal memory fills up, forcing a blood moon to clear the cache. It’s less precise but works if you’re multitasking. Either way, exploiting this feels like uncovering a secret cheat code Hyrule’s devs never intended.
