However, the blood moon timer still advances and blood moons are still scheduled as usual, which is why malice particles still appear before abruptly disappearing. | ||
Unfortunately, nothing ever unsets the ''LastBossGanonBeastGenerateFlag'' flag so it is not possible to get blood moons to occur naturally. The only way to get a blood moon to trigger is to advance time manually by sleeping or waiting at a campfire, as none of the blood moon inhibiting flags are checked when the player does so. Probably an oversight. | Unfortunately, nothing ever unsets the ''LastBossGanonBeastGenerateFlag'' flag so it is not possible to get blood moons to occur naturally.

This is also why towers look strange -- they are always tied to ''FldObj_DownloadTerminal_A_01'' (Sheikah download terminal) and ''DgnObj_WarpPoint_A_01'' (warp pad) objects, so the majority of the map objects that make up a Sheikah Tower end up being | This is also why towers look strange -- they are always tied to ''FldObj_DownloadTerminal_A_01'' (Sheikah download terminal) and ''DgnObj_WarpPoint_A_01'' (warp pad) objects, so the majority of the map objects that make up a Sheikah Tower end up being ''not'' spawned either.
