TOTK - Passive Abilities Weapons.png

The Gloom Toll Passive Ability contain Gloom that reduces your maximum hearts for every successful hit you land on an enemy. This effect is present in all weapons dropped by a Phantom Ganon.

To maximize Gloom weapons, use them outside the Depths. Your maximum hearts will automatically regenerate from the Gloom effects as long as you are on the Surface or the Sky. Using them inside the Depths will continually deplete your max hearts that won't regenerate.

You can also fuse the weapon to another weapon to take advantage of its high damage and avoid getting the effects of Gloom Toll.

There are specific locations for this weapon to spawn. Say, the phantom ganon at Mekar Island drops the Gloom spear whereas the phantom ganon at sahasra slope drops the gloom sword. And it is a set drop.
