I think my first encounter was on the Akkala Citadel Ruins while I was randomly and lazily exploring/ clearing some shrines. Creeped me out pretty good. lol
I was getting the tower at Akkala Citadel. I was just vibing and having a great old time. Then I see the gloom hands and I'm like "wtf?" Then the music starts playing and they come towards me at the speed of light. I try to run away but they grab me and I'm just low-key screaming and trying to escape because I'm so confused and terrified because I don't understand what's happening and whenever I try to sneak around them I get jump scared.My first encounter with Gloom Hands is when I did Hestu's quest on killing those God damn tree monsters, I went into the cave next to where Hestu was at. I was thrilled to explore the cave when the moment I saw the gloom hands, I thought they were wall masters from the previous Zelda games but was terrified as hell and went to my previous save and for a bit try to avoid going down there until I found the shrine in that same cave where those God damn gloom hands were at.
What was your first encounter like?
Was just doing a flyby over Akkala Citadel Ruins and a lightning storm started…. had an idea!Mine was on top of the Akkala Citadel Ruins about 6 hours in and I immediately left and went to the Stable below.
Damn boi!Was just doing a flyby over Akkala Citadel Ruins and a lightning storm started…. had an idea!
Threw on the lightning helm, sat on top of the ruins until it spawned and spotted me, timed a lightning strike
and floated dead smack in the middle of the gloom hands…. One strike took them all out! Noice!
Craziest thing is that you are more likely to encounter Gloom Hands on surface than it ever is in the DepthI first encountered one in the depths beneath the Lost Woods and was understandably horrified and warped out. The may also have been a lot of frightened yelling involved (I really hate wall/floor masters). I avoided that area for a while but, after doing some googling and figuring out where they spawn and how to kill them, I managed to go back there.
