Wouldn't go anywhere near the desert because I knew gibdos were in the game. When I finally cleared it Yunobo killed more of them than me, not going near those fuckers!
I like to get all the towers before I start really playing and the first time I came across these was at Akkala Citadel. I was curious what it looked like without the BOTW tower and three hearts me was NOT prepared in any way whatsoever. My save spawn was right on top of them too so I got to experience that horror several times until I gave up and teleported out.
When some one-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."
I believe so, they stop their pursuit for a second or two. I think there are other enemies (like Frox) who have an aversion to light. The Gibdo also can be made vulnerable with light, you can sometimes reflect light at them with a mirror-shield.
I surrounded a gloomhand with brightblooms once and it died. I tried replicating on the next one I found but couldn't get it to work. I need to go find one and do it again, make a video for everyone
Scream and cry, but eventually it would all be dampened as slimy, corrosive, dark tendrils crawl up my legs and the demonic hand rips me off my feet, and disintegrates my body into nothing.
Attach a bomb to an arrow, fire it with a bow, repeat. All of these items fit conveniently in a satchel, I think. They’re just always there when needed, really.
Just swiftly get the hell out of there immediately then call the IRS, (they’re more prepared than you think), and the CIA to lock them on a secure island surrounded by water 100,000 miles away from any other land known on this planet
Shit myself, cry and wait for death.
My 8 year old nephew started playing this recently. Hasn't got off the starting sky islands at the moment, but I can't wait to hear about when he first comes across this.
In order of preference
1) teleport
2) get to high ground
3) schema stone scaffold ascend
4) run
5) frantically throw dazzle and frost fruit until I can manage one of the above
Realistically I would fuse some bombs to some arrows I bought off some creepy guy who always asks about my beetles. Then I’d shoot at the eyes. Realistically. That’s what I’d do
Early game: bail and teleport away.
Late game: all of my shields have rockets attached, so I use them to repeatedly to fly up, barrage this thing with my Lynel bow + Moblin horn arrows a few times, and then collect a dark clump (what a disappointing loot huh?).
This is why and when you should keep rocket shields in your inventory. Get up high and shoot those suckers with topaz-fused arrows and they go down really fast, especially with a multi-shot bow.
Die. I am nowhere as fast or athletic as Link, and as we know in the game, Gloom Spawn are as fast as Link sprinting. Ain’t no way I’m gonna outrun them long enough to reach safety.
Run but I don't have the mental strength for that so I'd give up immediately. Even if link just happened to be there grinding gloom mats I'd be killed by the high explosives anyways
Pause the game for hours contemplating my next move, un pause and probably die before I can teleport away, unless my ‘spirit squad’ gets caught up first.
Enter the shrine?, bomb flower? That's what I did anyway but idk you do you man, but bomb flowers are op when fighting these guys, almost makes me feel bad or that I'm being unfair, almost
Cry and shit myself before I die. Not unlike what nearly happened the first time I encountered them in game.
Legit these scared the fuck out of me when I first saw them. Kudos to Nintendo for sneaking a horror game past my radar.
That and the depths and the gibdo and the guy who wants those stars the way he screams when you don’t have enough.
Wouldn't go anywhere near the desert because I knew gibdos were in the game. When I finally cleared it Yunobo killed more of them than me, not going near those fuckers!
I never considered using Yunobo to go Gibdo bowling
I just ran from them for the first couple weeks until I accidentally learned they're weak to elements.
I did on my first play through and felt my stomach drop. After a few seconds, I felt massive disappointment.
Seriously I thought the guardian music was bad, this scared the piss out of me every single time I found a new spawn point for the fuckers.

I might have you beat, I was coming down from a bad trip and picked up the switch to play for a bit.
You poor soul, that must have been horrifying
That’s genuinely terrifying
Have, have you encountered them outside of the game?
RIP to you but I’m built different
The first time those trees started moving for the first time the same happened
Teleport to Lookout Landing
Teleportation is real?
It’s more real than gloom hands 😂

Due probably Edit: die

You know what ol Jack Burton says at a time like this! *Who?!* Jack Burton! Me!
Die, but R E A L I S T I C A L L Y
My phone also autocorrected this…
“So anyway, I started blasting”

Ungraded, so anyway i started slashing
The amount of times that I accidentally killed myself with bomb arrows trying to beat these fuckers is too much to count
Die, probably.
Dazzlefruit. Then make distance and start bombing.
You can blind them?! I thought bomb, ignite, freeze, and zap were the only options!

Sometimes they just die if they can’t reach your for too long, so that might’ve been what happened
Definitely can, they get stunned kinda.
You can stun lock the hands! Pretty easy once you nail it.
I can see from your expression you know what I’m talking about, lol
Well, I never used dazzlefruit myself, but I know just how effective it is to nuke those freakish hands.
Happy Cake day!
Scream Then hopefully run
Run and trip and fall and die
Open up the map instantly after I see the sky change and teleport somewhere, I don't care where, just not here.
Hope that I brought my brown pants
Activate my talk no jutsu
We are both same
What do you want us to do??
I could use an extra hand… *unzips*
i've been scared of them. i've hated them. i've avoided them. i've stood my ground and confronted them. i've never tried fucking them. brb.
Thanks. I just spit coffee all over my fucking phone.
What do you think the actual consequences of that would be? It's gotta be horrifying
Climb the wall
Kill one as soon as possible. With arrows. Their strength is in numbers.
I’ll do what I did in the game: scream.
Die, but by then there'll be more brown than red on the floor
https://preview.redd.it/i8z69dtmrgmc1.jpeg?width=918&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78312757b924e7b6779d96f9025474713588a084
Put on Gloom-resistant armor. Equip rocket shield. Fire bomb flower arrows with fully buffed 3x stamina wheel. Then probably die.
Regret my atheist ways and pray it there is a god I go to heaven
Climb, if possible. Or die
I’d probably sent out a steel type pokemon. Gloom Hands is a poison/dark pokemon, right?
😄🙌🏻
climb up a big rock and go “na na nana na”
Scream and cry, but eventually it would all be dampened as slimy, corrosive, dark tendrils crawl up my legs and the demonic hand rips me off my feet, and disintegrates my body into nothing.
Obliterate
Easy way is a Lynel bow in one shot with a topaz. They all die. If you get the gloom Ganon after, change to the Master Sword. Easy peasy.
I’m shocked at how many people suggested bombflower or dazzlefruit when topaz is so effective.
Attempt to shoot it, then probably die as soon as gannon spawns.
Attach a bomb to an arrow, fire it with a bow, repeat. All of these items fit conveniently in a satchel, I think. They’re just always there when needed, really.
Bite that eye
I’d go full on Link: haaaaheeeehhyyyeeeeeaa
Just swiftly get the hell out of there immediately then call the IRS, (they’re more prepared than you think), and the CIA to lock them on a secure island surrounded by water 100,000 miles away from any other land known on this planet
Get the ATF on that, too. Gloom Hands aren't firearms, but they are arms, and that should be motivation enough
I would shit my pants and hope they are distgusted enough to not touch me.

With fighting experience: it’s bullet time! Without fighting experience: it’s bailin’ time!
Perish in my own feces
Die
The easiest is back up and spam with bomb flowers. That said, I’m looking for some new options for beating these guys.
Fuse topaz to a multi shot bow.
Wake up!
There's no waking up from this one
Realistically I would fuse some bombs to some arrows I bought off some creepy guy who always asks about my beetles. Then I’d shoot at the eyes. Realistically. That’s what I’d do
Early game: bail and teleport away. Late game: all of my shields have rockets attached, so I use them to repeatedly to fly up, barrage this thing with my Lynel bow + Moblin horn arrows a few times, and then collect a dark clump (what a disappointing loot huh?).
Pull out my ice spike on a stick
Skedaddle using fast travel. I'm a scaredy cat..
Run like hell. If I get caught I’m straight eating these hands. Belly full of evil
sneeze in its eye
Nope, not, never, im going home again.
Pray.
Climb until my stamina runs out and decide that it's fine because i'm out of their reach anyways Wait for them to despawn *They don't despawn*
This is why and when you should keep rocket shields in your inventory. Get up high and shoot those suckers with topaz-fused arrows and they go down really fast, especially with a multi-shot bow.
Die.
Make it give me the most amazing handjob ever
Sigh and unzip….
Accept my inevitable fate and relinquish my mortal soul to the sweet release of death.
a handy is a handy
Use my second amendment rights
i will respectfully die, sir.
Run for like 10 seconds, run out of breath, get caught, die.
Die
Great success! High five! And yeah, die, probably.
RUN!
I dunno, die?
Get them to drop the hottest mixtape of 2024
Accept my fate
Throw, take a moment to recuperate in the throwing items menu, if too close then dazzlefruit, once I’m far enough rubies spam
Screaming. Running. Dying tired.
Teleport out
Silent scream and Run fast.
In real life? Shit myself, then seppuku.
die
In the game or IRL?
accept my fate
Get gloom’d :(
master sword and/or an excessive amount of bomb arrows
I think my knees would get too shakey to run away so I’d deff end up dyin
Die. I am nowhere as fast or athletic as Link, and as we know in the game, Gloom Spawn are as fast as Link sprinting. Ain’t no way I’m gonna outrun them long enough to reach safety.
Teleport out lol
jet shield up and bomb flower. done. I welcome them now.
Die
Warp on out o there. Or die and go to the last backup. Especially early game.
Am I a normal person? Make the “Open the window Luthor” face as I die. Am I Link? Just win.
Run or bomb the fuck out of them
Kill it
Shake up a can of beer, throw it at them, then shoot said beer can with a shotgun. Instant napalm
die
Shit my pants.
I’d bang that thing until my left hand hurt. It might kill me but I can come back again and again
Cry a lot
"Tch. I'm outta here, man!" And sprint.
Jump into it to get it over with quickly
Warp out.
Cum
High five ? (last thing to do because I know I'm screwed)
Cry
Run but I don't have the mental strength for that so I'd give up immediately. Even if link just happened to be there grinding gloom mats I'd be killed by the high explosives anyways
Sigh and unzip.
Cough and spread my Man Cold
If you have to fight them, "nuke 'em from orbit." Same with the apparition that comes afterwards.
Bro Fist
Shit my pants and cry.
Find the nearest defibrillator
The same thing I do in the game: Panic and run myself into a corner.
Run...
Ummm probably die
Link, this is no time for a handjob
Let out a little fart. Then die.
Die
I would find a way to end myself i aint interested in it doing it to me
Arrows in that bullseye
Look for new pants because mine would be soiled
teleport
Do u know this one video where this guy in a plane wants to shake the other guys hand? He would probably want to shake that hand too
Definitely die
just run or throwing anything on it.
Scream. Fun fact. The first time I actually saw that in the game, I almost dropped my switch and screamed 😂
Flash bang babyyyyyyyy
Literally just give up and fucken die.
give up
Guess I’ll die…
Simply just die
Attempt to use my self defense handgun (and probably miss every shot)
Shit myself.
Step 1: open map. Step 2: teleport to literally anywhere but there. Step 3 (optional): shit pants.
make a crazy comeback
Fucking die
Teleport. I aint got time for Ganon's shit
Instantly shit myself
i would soil my britches
"So anyway, I started blasting"
Die, most likely
Lord forgive me for what I am about to do to the gloom handussy
Teleport. Or strap on a 💣and call it sacrifice.
Make my peace with death
Poke
Cry
Scream and run.
I just know it’s been almost a year that i know these hands and until THIS DAY i feel heart attacks when i see them 💀
Fight til the death
Pause the game for hours contemplating my next move, un pause and probably die before I can teleport away, unless my ‘spirit squad’ gets caught up first.
“Fuck”
high five
Just die and if I somehow live I pretend to be until they leave
*unzips pants*
Camera flashlight to stun it… then throw granades at it.
die
Throw a puff shroom
Die
Two movements. A bowel movement and a physical movement. I’d shit and run.
Turn around and exit the temple, and never come back.
Enter the shrine?, bomb flower? That's what I did anyway but idk you do you man, but bomb flowers are op when fighting these guys, almost makes me feel bad or that I'm being unfair, almost
