Is there a way to trigger the blood moon? I've been sitting at this spot for a riddle for a while that has to do with the blood moon. I have advanced the time with the campfire for about 3 full cycles of the moon already and nothing. Went out in the rain (since campfires don't work in the rain ugh) came back, advanced the time again, nothing.

It's nice watching the moon come up yet this is getting a bit pointless. And now my meteor rod is in critical condition from relighting the fire over and over doh! They do break. I've had 5 or 6 blood moons so far during my play time, now it won't happen when I'm waiting for one. And I thought the wait for a specific time of the day ones were annoying. (They're actually very cool, yet some way to advance time by the hour would be welcome)

I didn't get a blood moon either and I made at least ten days pass. At a different point in the game I got a blood moon on two consecutive nights though.

I think the probability for a blood moon raises if there's at least one blood moon chest opened (treasure chests that get restocked upon a blood moon respawn of monsters). Raid an easy camp and do other stuff in the mean time. The riddle can be solved for the entire duration of the blood moon night, so that gives you about six hours (six minutes in real time) to return to the spot of the riddle. Blood moon is very apparent by 23:00, the night lasts until 5:00.

Makes sense you have to kill some enemies first that can respawn. 6 minutes is not a lot to return from just one region away (without fast travel anyway). There's plenty more to dicover. I just made my way all the way back to mount Agaat as I had to leave that one the first time passing through. It's off limits lol, you can't go that way.
I decended into the desert again, explored the west end, then made it into Gerudo town when sleep caught up with me. Had to quit at 2am already, weak.
