Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1

Speak with the Blood Moon Scholar

Find the scholar studying moon charts at Lookout Landing. He theorizes that a Blood Moon amplification node exists in the Depths below Hyrule Castle.

2

Enter the Hyrule Castle Depths

Descend through the Hyrule Castle Chasm into the deepest Depths beneath the castle. Navigate Gloom-heavy terrain to reach the central chamber.

3

Document the Ritual Site

Find the glowing crimson formation on the chamber floor. Photograph it and collect a Gloom fragment for the scholar's analysis.

4

Survive a Blood Moon Ambush

Resting in this chamber triggers a Blood Moon. Survive the wave of respawned enemies that appear — Silver Bokoblins, a Gloom Moblin, and Gloom Spawn emerge simultaneously.

5

Report Findings to the Scholar

Return alive to Lookout Landing and report what you found. The scholar adds it to the ongoing Hyrule Castle research and rewards Link for the dangerous field work.
