What Are Blood Moon Battlefields?

A Blood Moon Battlefield is a game mode that allows you to replay a Story Battle under a Blood Moon. In Breath of the Wild, Blood Moons were essentially the game's way of respawning all defeated enemies and items, but in Hyrule Warriors, they are essentially remixed challenges.

Blood Moon Battlefield will feature tougher enemies and will net you better rewards compared to regular battles. Because of this, these Missions will have a higher Recommended Level. Be sure to prepare for each challenge by leveling up your character and building their weapons!

Triggering a Blood Moon
