Any night after [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] has completed [[The Isolated Plateau]] and left the [[Great Plateau]] for the first time, the moon may turn red around 22:00 (10:00 PM) on the in-game clock. At around 23:30 (11:30 PM), [[Malice]] speckles the air. When the time then hits midnight, the sky will turn red, and a cutscene will play with monsters appearing in a puff of smoke - the first time, Zelda's voice will explain: | Any night after [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] has completed [[The Isolated Plateau]] and left the [[Great Plateau]] for the first time, the moon may turn red around 22:00 (10:00 PM) on the in-game clock.

Blood moons regularly occur every 2 hours and 48 minutes of gameplay (every unskipped 7 days in-game). A blood moon can be delayed by entering a shrine or [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]] before the cutscene triggers, but the game will continue to trigger a blood moon every night thereafter until one can finally occur. If delayed too long, a so-called '''Panic Blood Moon''' may happen, where the system's free memory will fall below 10%, triggering a blood moon regardless of the in-game time to reset the game world and thus free system memory. If there's enough overload, there are instances where the Blood Moon may occur even in the middle of the day.<ref group="BM" name="Regular/Panic">https://redd.it/awiedd</ref> | Blood moons regularly occur every 2 hours and 48 minutes of gameplay (every unskipped 7 days in-game).

In the first place, the Blood Moon will not happen before Link leaves the [[Great Plateau]], so the game won't regenerate any monsters killed before that. Subsequently, there are several further exceptions to the Blood Moon depending on the location and task at hand:<ref group="BM" name="Exceptions">From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCyFJohMD6g</ref> | |||

*The blood moon may appear during the [[EX The Champions' Ballad#One-Hit Obliterator Trial|One-Hit Obliterator Trial]] in the Great Plateau, but it won't trigger a cut scene and will turn into a regular moon inconsequentially, meaning no malice wisps, no reddening of the sky and no storm clouds. | *The blood moon may appear during the [[EX The Champions' Ballad#One-Hit Obliterator Trial|One-Hit Obliterator Trial]] in the Great Plateau, but it won't trigger a cut scene and will turn into a regular moon inconsequentially, meaning no malice wisps, no reddening of the sky and no storm clouds. | ||

During the [[All Hyrule, United]] Scenario, the Blood Moon appears shortly after the Divine Beasts fire their lasers at Calamity Ganon to increase the latter's power and revive the slain monsters and stays until the end and it carries over to [[The Future of Hyrule]] Scenario until Calamity Ganon is defeated. | During the [[All Hyrule, United]] Scenario, the Blood Moon appears shortly after the Divine Beasts fire their lasers at Calamity Ganon to increase the latter's power and revive the slain monsters and stays until the end and it carries over to [[The Future of Hyrule]] Scenario until Calamity Ganon is defeated. | ||
