How do I activate the Divine Beast Vah Medoh in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To activate the Divine Beast Vah Medoh in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you must first complete the quest "Divine Beast Vah Medoh," which is part of the main story. This Divine Beast is located in the Hebra region, specifically in the skies above Rito Village. The process involves several steps, including preparation, combat, puzzle-solving, and a boss fight. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide to help you through the process.

First, you need to reach Rito Village, which is located in the Tabantha region. To get there, you can follow the road northwest from Hyrule Field, passing through the Tabantha Bridge Stable. Once you arrive in Rito Village, speak to the elder, Kaneli, who will inform you about the Divine Beast Vah Medoh and the troubles it is causing. He will direct you to Teba, a Rito warrior who is planning to take down the Divine Beast.

Teba is located at the Flight Range, which is northeast of Rito Village. You can reach the Flight Range by gliding from the village or by using a horse. Once you find Teba, he will explain his plan to shoot down Vah Medoh using a special bow. However, he needs your help to distract the Divine BeastÔÇÖs cannons while he takes his shots. This is where the first combat challenge begins.

Before engaging in combat, itÔÇÖs important to prepare. Make sure you have a good supply of arrows, especially Bomb Arrows, as they are effective against the cannons. You should also have a strong bow, such as the Falcon Bow or the Great Eagle Bow, which can be obtained from the Rito Village. Additionally, stock up on healing items like Hearty meals or Elixirs to keep your health up during the fight.

Once youÔÇÖre ready, Teba will take you to the launch point near the Divine Beast. You will need to glide towards Vah Medoh while avoiding its laser attacks. Use your bow to shoot the cannons on the Divine BeastÔÇÖs wings. Aim for the glowing blue targets to disable them. This requires precision and timing, so take your time and aim carefully. If you run out of arrows, you can land on the Divine BeastÔÇÖs wings to collect more from the defeated cannons.

After disabling all the cannons, Teba will successfully shoot down Vah Medoh, and you will be able to board it. Once inside, you will need to solve a series of puzzles to gain control of the Divine Beast. The puzzles involve manipulating the tilt of the Divine Beast to access different areas and activate terminals. Pay attention to the map provided by the Sheikah Slate, as it will show you the locations of the terminals and the current tilt of the Divine Beast.

One of the key mechanics in Vah Medoh is the ability to tilt the Divine Beast by interacting with the control units. This allows you to change the orientation of the Divine Beast, making certain areas accessible. For example, tilting the Divine Beast can create pathways or reveal hidden chests. Use this mechanic to your advantage to navigate the interior and reach the terminals.

As you progress, you will encounter enemies such as Guardians and Sentries. Use your weapons and abilities to defeat them. The Master Sword or any strong weapon will be effective against these enemies. Be mindful of your weapon durability and switch to a different weapon if necessary.

Once you activate all the terminals, you will face the boss of Vah Medoh, Windblight Ganon. This boss uses wind-based attacks and can be challenging if youÔÇÖre not prepared. Use your bow to shoot its eye when itÔÇÖs exposed, and dodge its attacks by using the environment to your advantage. The Great Eagle Bow is particularly effective in this fight due to its long range and quick firing rate.

After defeating Windblight Ganon, you will gain control of Vah Medoh and receive the ability RevaliÔÇÖs Gale, which allows you to create an upward draft to reach high places. This ability is incredibly useful for exploration and combat, so make sure to use it wisely.

In summary, activating Divine Beast Vah Medoh involves preparation, combat, puzzle-solving, and a boss fight. Make sure to stock up on arrows and healing items, use the tilt mechanic to solve puzzles, and be prepared for a challenging boss fight. With the right strategy and preparation, you can successfully activate Vah Medoh and gain a powerful ability to aid you in your journey.
