@Alex it scared the sh!t out of me the first time. The scream, the screen turning red, and that haunting music. Followed by my sword doing nothing to its health.
@Chocobirdy bro same. I was so confused at what I was looking at because everything's already harder to see down there. Before I knew it I was swarmed 😫
The first time I encountered those damn things, I was battling one of those giant bubble frogs in a mountain cave when the music suddenly took a bizarre turn. I'd never heard the theme before in my previous encounters with them, but I shrugged it off as a misconception. I was so wrong. The moment I'd slain the frog and hopped down from the platform, I saw it. Obviously I was horrified, so I ran away and tried to climb the middle platform, but I was already waist deep in gloom, and you can tell how it went from there. I put up somewhat of a fight, but they overtook me easily and drained my fragile four hearts to nothing. So, now I just steer clear of any and all caves until I know how to deal with the Gloom Hands. Funny thing is, I figured they would be slow and useless like the Malice Heads in the Divine Beasts, but no! They're fast as fuck and thrice as lethal as Guardians.
You have no reason to fear caves, not only do they spawn on the surface once in a blue moon, but most caves are too cramped for them to spawn. Besides, if they do spawn, just teleport away if you need to.
The first time I saw this thing, I'll be honest. I straight up freaked out and ran but couldn't escape and I was on my way to hateno village. I don't know if they spawn in specific places like the talus or hinox, but just know that you don't have to fear caves like someone else said, you just need to be ready to teleport the ever-loving Heck out of the place you're in. I honestly doubt anyone was prepared the first time they saw these things.
My first encounter with this horrifying demon was during a blood moon and despawned afterward. it made me think they only spawn during that time but I wasn't prepared for the scare of my life when one appeared right under my feet inside a cave.
@@Mrbluefire95 the weapon is kinda good? It's just the question of whether or not you want to sacrifice your life for power. Or if you're gonna save the Demon King's Bow until you have max hearts
I didnt even see them the first time I encountered them 😂. I was on a floating platform with a shrine on it, I heard the scream, then the backwards music + red sky, it went away quick. I looked down at the time to see if it was some kind of Blood Moon or TotKs version of it. Then I came across them in a cave and it all made sense lol.
First time I encountered that thing I was lucky enough to be near a small forest, so I just booked it and climbed on one of those big trees. Thankfully they couldn't reach on top so they just stared up at me for a dozen of seconds before vanishing. I was so confused cuz at first I thought it was a red moon but then I noticed it was the afternoon lmao. I miss the Guardians.
First ones I encountered were in the depths on my way to Korok Forest. Literally had no idea these were even a thing and seeing them spawn out of the darkness terrified me to no end
I like how most people first reaction upon seeing that eldritch horror is to run Me? My dumbass thought they'd be easy to kill and ended up dead on the spot
First time I encountered it was in a cave come over scared shit out of me that I had to teleport away from the cave, not going in there until I’m ready.
I had nearly the same reaction. I don't know what those demonic hands straight from hell are, and I honestly don't want to know! My first encounter was downright horrifying. I was just running past a lake and suddenly the sky turned red and this haunting music started playing. I started to frantically look around for the cause since the blood moon scene wasn't playing - and the music was different (and it was 8pm) - and that's when I saw it. I first saw a red hand emerge from the water, heard it scream as that single hand made eye contact with me, then saw the thing, in its entirety, come flying out of the water straight at me. It through me straight into a panic attack in real life! Lmao I was diagnosed with panic disorder years ago, and have Diokophobia (the irrational and extreme fear of being chased). Lol Never running blind through the depths again! Ran into a Frox while trying to reach the next lightroot. Lol
First moment of me is walking in hyrule castle then suddenly saw the red goo start moving and coming toward me so fast that i cant outrun it. Terrified, I managed to run away. The second time at maze, i have tulin with me and bombing the whole goo then the boss healthbar show. I swear to god zelda games always give the creep out of me
I was trying to reach Morok shrine the first time I noticed these. At first I stopped trying to reach the shrine and just out of curiosity looked at the puddle of gloom. Then the one-eyed hands appear, and the shriek that follows was enough to have me sprinting in the opposite direction. The fucking music an' all really just adds to the feeling of absolute terror. Somehow I outran it because it couldn't get up the hill, and I might have panic-jumped/glided away far out the area. I got super lucky. I dread my next encounter when I won't have so many escape options.
The only thing i hate about people seeing gloom hands is that They always think they can run away from it. Like *DO YOU NOT SEE THAT PUDDLE OF SMUG GOING MOCK 10 AFTER YOU*
This was the exact same place I encountered them the first time too. I walked past the puddle of ooze from a small distance but they'd seen me, i figured I just walked too close so I tried to get out of their range but when music wouldn't fade and the sky got redder, and they started *following* me... I have never noped so fast out of there, that freaked me the HELL out
I remember trying to take their picture and adding it to the compendium. Then I realize I couldn’t (similar to the malice eyes). Then I knew something was wrong
The best part is that they don’t even give you a sign in advance that they’re there. The only warning you get is a sudden jumpscare gloom puddle, by which point it’s probably already spotted you and it’s too late. You can’t spot them from afar, the only way you can know one is there is by waltzing onto its doorstep If it weren’t for maps on the internet telling me the locations of their spawns, I would be running into these things everywhere without realising and/or eternally paranoid that they could just pop up whenever they felt like it
I believe the only way to get away from those things is to just rocket shield into the air and glide away. You could also kill them but that just leads to a worse (or better) situation depending on your combat skills.
I was scanning amiibo at the end of one of the labyrinths (the old hebra one from botw), and these fuckers snook up on me. I killed them, but I died in the second phase to *HIM*
Funny enough, if you managed to get a picture of phantom ganon and the sensor+, set phantom ganon on the sensor and it will warn you if there is a gloom hand spawn point nearby.
I got lucky my first time encountering this thing: I saw it spawn a few meters away from me. I knew what it was, since I'd seen a video about it, so I just noped out.
If you do wanna try to kill it, hit it’s center with bomb flower arrows until all the hands die Though you might end up regretting killing it, that’s how I felt when I killed one. First victorious and then I remembered what comes after 😭
I think I was in this exact spot when I first saw this thing, though approaching from slightly further to the right. I literally wasn't able to comprehend what I was looking at for a solid 4 seconds until the hands screamed at me and immediately activated my fight or flight response as they crawled toward me at high speed. Even the gloom pool itself is freaky, the way it spreads across the floor like a virus. you just like don't want that shit to touch u lol. Such a cool enemy.
The first time I saw these was super creepy, I was exploring a Mountain who knows where and I saw them far away and said "wth is that" so I approached it only to face a terrifying death, specially with that creepy music that plays when it sees you, Its like the one of the blood moon
Dude the first time I was luckily at the top of a hill and could panic shield surf away, the second time round it was in a cave and I managed to kill it after dumping 60+ arrows into those ugly hands. But I wasn’t ready for what came after lol.
I got lucky, my first encounter with these things, I was on a horse. It was a slow horse so it turned into a horror movie chase scene, but I got away ungrabbed.
Exactly the one that killed me the first time, but I was coming from the other side so I had more than enough time to see them. Didn't help, got grabbed and got the life sucked out of me as I laid there paralysed!
That's The only enemy I hate most in Tears Of The Kingdom is the moving malice Gloom hands, last week when I was on my way to the shrine and when I first saw one I'm like 'What the fuck is that thing chasing me then I've noticed the skys turn red just like the blood moon.
I only encountered this once. You think the Guardians from the previous game were scary, you ain’t seen nothing til you see this. This thing was almost as scary as that giant baby fetus from Resident Evil 8.
The first time i saw these were when i was headed to a shrine. I was on my horse an im like "Oh hey im getting my first blood moon :0"... I was so wrong
Admittedly I’ve been spoiled on a good few things in this game. I’ve seen the ending cutscenes beforehand, I’ve seen what happens to the Master Sword and so on. I did not know these things existed. I think the last time I was this terrified was while encountering the Warden in Minecraft. Both the Warden and Gloom Hands are legit terrifying in their own ways.
If you have a shit load of hearts and some good weapons, fighting these things even with melee isn’t so bad and the Phantom Ganon phase is actually pretty fun!
Fighting those things at the beginning of the game is hard at first and not recommend, but if ever have to bomb and blind fruit arrow are on way to help you
Does the hands spawn randomly??? My first encounter with them was at the underground looking for the final sage (not the scripted time inside REDACTED🌳) and looking at this comments they had encountered the hands at different locations so it kind of feel they spawn randomly and that’s scary man 😅
I got lucky mines got stuck behind a wall it couldn't reach me but i didn't know they could move thats weird i stared to run when the sky was turning red
I hate these so much. I just tamed a horse and was riding in some fields when the music started and the screen went red. Looked behind and saw a bunch of these chasing me. Absolutely shit myself
![Gamers React to : Gloom Hands [The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom]](/img/n.gif)
I miss the Guardians. At least I could hide from their shots. This thing is too fast!
They can't move vertically so the best way to escape is to climb
@Alex it scared the sh!t out of me the first time. The scream, the screen turning red, and that haunting music. Followed by my sword doing nothing to its health.
@@Tintelinus no the best way to escape is to teleport away
Same with lynels, dude I hated them but they were WAY easier than those dragon things 😭
@@Tintelinusthey can climb
At least you came across them in hyrule field. I found my first in an unfamiliar cave
Man I came across my first one in the Chasms! Shit was not cool
dude that’s gotta be so scary lol. my first encounter was near the wyvern like enemies’ nest
same😭😭
@Chocobirdy bro same. I was so confused at what I was looking at because everything's already harder to see down there. Before I knew it I was swarmed 😫

Try standing on something out of reach and they will give up and die.
Bro got ptsd from the demonic hands 😭

@@strangercool5685The music didn’t make it any better when I first saw it 😂
Bruh this was my reaction when I first saw these demonic hands 😂😂😂
My first encounter was wondering why the sky is turning red, then right behind me those glowing hands jump scared me and took me down to oblivion
In the real world, you're gonna catch these hands.
*In Soviet Hyrule, these hands are gonna catch you*
My first encounter with this horrifying demon was during a blood moon and despawned afterward. it made me think they only spawn during that time but I wasn't prepared for the scare of my life when one appeared right under my feet inside a cave.
My exact reaction to my first time seeing it. Except it was not like that at all and I shit myself
I beat this thing today. Would you believe me if I told you this creepy thing has 2 phases
Yup I thought I had outsmarted it. How foolish of me
Honestly the thing is way too hard to kill for the reward it gives lol
@@Mrbluefire95 the weapon is kinda good? It's just the question of whether or not you want to sacrifice your life for power.
Or if you're gonna save the Demon King's Bow until you have max hearts
Yeah after you beat them once it’s ez
@@fluffydemon1 Tbh, just go for the Master Sword early and attach something to it. Shit melts.
*they literally make you forget that you can teleport*
(Hands see Link and screech!)
Me: RUN!!! FUCKING RUN!!!
I didnt even see them the first time I encountered them 😂. I was on a floating platform with a shrine on it, I heard the scream, then the backwards music + red sky, it went away quick. I looked down at the time to see if it was some kind of Blood Moon or TotKs version of it. Then I came across them in a cave and it all made sense lol.
Ok I take it bad it’s a lot more scary than guardians at least you can see them coming.
THAT OMORI SOUND EFFECT IS TOO PERFECT
Something sound effect was fitting
First time I encountered that thing I was lucky enough to be near a small forest, so I just booked it and climbed on one of those big trees. Thankfully they couldn't reach on top so they just stared up at me for a dozen of seconds before vanishing.
I was so confused cuz at first I thought it was a red moon but then I noticed it was the afternoon lmao. I miss the Guardians.
I just had my first encounter with these, bruh my heart is racing
pure nightmare fuel until you realize you can spam them with bomb arrows
As long as you're not in grass, you don't even have to use up your arrows to make Gloom Hands catch these Hylian hands.
Oh but that's when the REAL fun comes out
(me who has 5 arrows)😊 that's my dying inside face
Not when you have no bombs or arrows 😭
@@d.n.3652 If that's the case, just fuse a cannon to your weapons and aim your shot with R.
I love how this is one of the few enemies that are completely hidden until you are up close
pov : me taking you to my basement
First ones I encountered were in the depths on my way to Korok Forest. Literally had no idea these were even a thing and seeing them spawn out of the darkness terrified me to no end
bro the first time i encountered them was on the great platue like wtf first area turned into final area
Exact same thing happened to me. I got the shrine, wanted to explore and these fking things attacked me lol
My reaction was the same as yours when I first encountered these demonic hands in the great plateau but I teleported tf out of there when they spawned
Came across them for the first time today at the zora region sky tower. Sprinted away yelling 'absolutely not!!'
I like how most people first reaction upon seeing that eldritch horror is to run
Me? My dumbass thought they'd be easy to kill and ended up dead on the spot
you went up against the successor of the floormaster and the infinite hands (the dead hand things from OoT)
I like how everyone who first encounters them her tries climbing that plateau with no stamina and falls into the hands of death.
I love how all of the reactions to this thing is always this one particular shrine on my map I have been marking and avoiding there spawn locations
First time I encountered it was in a cave come over scared shit out of me that I had to teleport away from the cave, not going in there until I’m ready.
Dead hand + ganon
Ganon hand
I had nearly the same reaction. I don't know what those demonic hands straight from hell are, and I honestly don't want to know!

Never running blind through the depths again! Ran into a Frox while trying to reach the next lightroot. Lol
They can come out of water?!! 😱 I thought you could jump in a river to stop them chasing you!
@@PunsandPixels I don't know if it was a bug since I haven't seen it spawn there again, but it did scare me for life. Lol
In my case I literally ran into silver Lynel while trying to get to the lightroots 😂
@@NetBattler There's a lynel down there?! Lmao

It’s called Death
These things are pure Nightmare Fuel
The only thing i hate about people seeing gloom hands is that
They always think they can run away from it. Like *DO YOU NOT SEE THAT PUDDLE OF SMUG GOING MOCK 10 AFTER YOU*
Nah dude my time seeing it was at the shrine on the great plateau. I actually screamed after seeing my arrow do no damage to them lol.
Fun fact if you end up dead in the center of them they can softlock you to death and it’s basically a true combo loop that’s inescapable
So basically if you get grabbed and the other hands surrounds you're basically good as dead unless you do a fast travel.
This was the exact same place I encountered them the first time too. I walked past the puddle of ooze from a small distance but they'd seen me, i figured I just walked too close so I tried to get out of their range but when music wouldn't fade and the sky got redder, and they started *following* me...

You can also climb walls to get out of their reach, but you need lots of stamina because you're jumping the whole way up
Note for new players:
If you ever encounter them and wish not to die, just open your Map and fast travel.
Come back prepared for them.
I was scanning amiibo at the end of one of the labyrinths (the old hebra one from botw), and these fuckers snook up on me.
I killed them, but I died in the second phase to *HIM*
I actually miss the Guardians. These things are *FAR* worse!
I was hoping dead hand would return but this is close enough
this is the exact same place where I first discovered gloom hands
I miss my guardians 😢
I had a dream about those gloom hands few days ago and I couldn't run away.
I encountered that thing too at that exact same spot, scared the F*ck out of me
I miss when the “oh shit” enemy (the guardian) was just a piano jingle to start. NOW ITS A FUCKING RITUAL
Funny enough, if you managed to get a picture of phantom ganon and the sensor+, set phantom ganon on the sensor and it will warn you if there is a gloom hand spawn point nearby.
This is why i always carry a lynel bow and bomb fruit
Because when i see these things i can unleash explosion hell on them
first time i encountered them i had just killed a bubbul frog in a cave and they appeared and i instantly shat my pants and ascended tf out of there
I got lucky my first time encountering this thing: I saw it spawn a few meters away from me. I knew what it was, since I'd seen a video about it, so I just noped out.

dudes be like "i have my whole life ahead of me" no you don't, the hands are coming 🤣
When I saw this the first time, gave me flashbacks of Ocarina of Time.
Dead Hand.

I got lucky, my first encounter with these things, I was on a horse. It was a slow horse so it turned into a horror movie chase scene, but I got away ungrabbed.
I was shocked seeing them, I was at 1/4 heart left, and after I climbed the platform, they all disappeared.
Do not fear! Bomb arrows are their weakness! You can use fire arrows too, but they’re less effective
lol'd at your commentary. These things ruined my day when I first found them.
Exactly the one that killed me the first time, but I was coming from the other side so I had more than enough time to see them.
Didn't help, got grabbed and got the life sucked out of me as I laid there paralysed!
I first saw one behind me already chasing me when I visited the great plateau and died in like 3 seconds because I was still in the very early game
with me the gloom hands spawned in the same place! at least i think. it looks similar.
We need more reaction videos like this
Not the Omori Something sound effect
That's The only enemy I hate most in Tears Of The Kingdom is the moving malice Gloom hands, last week when I was on my way to the shrine and when I first saw one I'm like 'What the fuck is that thing chasing me then I've noticed the skys turn red just like the blood moon.

Your title and reaction is hilarious
Yeah I found these in a cave for the first time. My exact reaction 😂
omg guys they added something to zelda
Does the hands spawn randomly??? My first encounter with them was at the underground looking for the final sage (not the scripted time inside REDACTED🌳) and looking at this comments they had encountered the hands at different locations so it kind of feel they spawn randomly and that’s scary man 😅
They spanked you. Also use the gemstones on gloom hands it’s op
lmfao if you couldn’t fight the glooms then you definitely cant fight ganon
they're a set encounter in some shrines lol, some early ones even
I got lucky mines got stuck behind a wall it couldn't reach me but i didn't know they could move thats weird i stared to run when the sky was turning red
So... they just made Floormasters but WORSE!?
Hey.
I love scottish peoples reactions
Yup. Exactly how I reacted
I hate those gloom spawns. I spent hours farming for bomb flowers to kill one
Why don’t you duplicate bomb flowers?
I hate these so much. I just tamed a horse and was riding in some fields when the music started and the screen went red. Looked behind and saw a bunch of these chasing me. Absolutely shit myself
Is that the fucking omori something sound effect
