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 associated with the Rito tribe and 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 Castle or use the Tabantha Tower as a fast travel point if youÔÇÖve already activated it. Once in Rito Village, speak to the elder, Kaneli, who will inform you about the Divine Beast Vah Medoh and its current state of corruption. He will direct you to Teba, a Rito warrior who is planning to take down the Divine Beast.
Teba can be found at the Flight Range, located northeast of Rito Village. To reach the Flight Range, you can either glide from the village or use a horse. Once there, speak to Teba, who will explain his plan to shoot down Vah MedohÔÇÖs cannons. YouÔÇÖll need to assist him by using a bow to destroy the cannons while riding on his back. This part of the quest requires good aim and timing, as the cannons will fire at you. Make sure you have a decent bow and plenty of arrows. The Great Eagle Bow, which you can obtain later, is particularly useful here, but any bow with decent range will work.
After destroying the cannons, Teba will drop you off on Vah Medoh. Once inside, youÔÇÖll need to navigate the Divine BeastÔÇÖs interior, which is filled with puzzles and enemies. The main mechanic of Vah Medoh involves tilting the entire beast to move platforms and access different areas. You can control the tilt by interacting with the map terminal inside the Divine Beast. This mechanic is crucial for solving puzzles and reaching the terminals needed to regain control of Vah Medoh.
There are five terminals in total that you need to activate. Each terminal is located in a different part of the Divine Beast, and some are hidden behind puzzles that require you to tilt Vah Medoh to create pathways or reveal hidden areas. For example, one terminal is located behind a gate that can only be opened by tilting the Divine Beast to allow a rolling ball to hit a switch. Another terminal requires you to tilt the beast to create a slope, allowing you to glide to a platform that is otherwise inaccessible.
Combat is also a significant part of the Divine Beast quest. YouÔÇÖll encounter various enemies, including Guardians and corrupted parts of the Divine Beast. Make sure you have a good supply of weapons, shields, and healing items. Cooking meals that provide extra hearts, stamina, or defense can be very helpful. Additionally, having armor with high defense or specific resistances can make the combat encounters easier.
Once all five terminals are activated, youÔÇÖll face the boss of Vah Medoh, Windblight Ganon. This boss is a ranged attacker, using a bow and energy blasts to attack from a distance. The key to defeating Windblight Ganon is to use your own bow to target its eye, which will stun it and allow you to deal significant damage. You can also use the updrafts created by its attacks to glide into the air and perform slow-motion arrow shots, which are very effective. Make sure to dodge its attacks and use cover when necessary.
After defeating Windblight Ganon, youÔÇÖll regain control of Vah Medoh, and it will become a powerful ally in the fight against Calamity Ganon. YouÔÇÖll also receive RevaliÔÇÖs Gale, a special ability that allows you to create an updraft, making it easier to reach high places and traverse the world.
In summary, activating Divine Beast Vah Medoh involves preparation, combat, puzzle-solving, and a challenging boss fight. Make sure to stock up on arrows, weapons, and healing items before starting the quest. Use the tilt mechanic to solve puzzles and access terminals, and be prepared for a tough fight against Windblight Ganon. With the right strategy and preparation, youÔÇÖll be able to conquer Vah Medoh and gain a powerful new ability to aid you in your journey.
