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 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 you arrive, speak to Teba, who will explain his plan to shoot down Vah MedohÔÇÖs cannons. This will require you to use a bow while gliding, so make sure you have a decent bow and plenty of arrows. Teba will provide you with some arrows, but itÔÇÖs a good idea to stock up on more before starting the mission.

The next step involves a combat sequence where you and Teba will attack Vah MedohÔÇÖs cannons. YouÔÇÖll need to glide from the Flight Range towards the Divine Beast, using updrafts to gain altitude. As you approach Vah Medoh, youÔÇÖll notice several cannons firing at you. Your goal is to destroy these cannons by shooting them with arrows. Aim carefully, as the cannons are moving targets, and youÔÇÖll need to account for the wind and your own movement. Teba will assist by drawing the cannonsÔÇÖ fire, but youÔÇÖll still need to be quick and accurate.

Once all the cannons are destroyed, Teba will create an updraft that allows you to land on Vah Medoh. At this point, youÔÇÖll need to enter the Divine Beast and begin the process of activating it. Inside Vah Medoh, youÔÇÖll encounter a series of puzzles and enemies. The main objective is to activate five terminals, which will allow you to regain control of the Divine Beast. Each terminal is protected by a puzzle or a guardian, so youÔÇÖll need to use your wits and combat skills to progress.

One of the key mechanics in Vah Medoh is the ability to tilt the Divine Beast by interacting with a control panel. This will change the orientation of the entire structure, allowing you to access new areas and solve puzzles. For example, tilting Vah Medoh can create new pathways or reveal hidden terminals. Pay close attention to your surroundings and experiment with the tilting mechanism to find the best way to reach each terminal.

As you progress through Vah Medoh, youÔÇÖll encounter several guardians, including flying and stationary types. These enemies can be tough, so make sure you have strong weapons and shields. Using elemental arrows, such as fire or ice arrows, can be particularly effective against these enemies. Additionally, using the environment to your advantage, such as hiding behind cover or using the tilting mechanism to knock enemies off balance, can make these encounters easier.

Once youÔÇÖve activated all five terminals, youÔÇÖll face the boss of Vah Medoh, Windblight Ganon. This boss is a fast and agile enemy that uses wind-based attacks and a powerful laser. To defeat Windblight Ganon, youÔÇÖll need to use a combination of ranged and melee attacks. When the boss is flying, use your bow to shoot it down, aiming for its eye to deal maximum damage. When itÔÇÖs on the ground, use your strongest melee weapons to attack. Be sure to dodge its attacks and use your shield to block the laser.

After defeating Windblight Ganon, youÔÇÖll regain control of Vah Medoh and receive the ability RevaliÔÇÖs Gale, which allows you to create an updraft to gain altitude. This ability is incredibly useful for exploration and combat, so make sure to use it wisely. With Vah Medoh activated, youÔÇÖll also weaken Calamity Ganon, bringing you one step closer to saving Hyrule.

In summary, activating Divine Beast Vah Medoh involves preparation, combat, puzzle-solving, and a challenging boss fight. Make sure to stock up on arrows and strong weapons before starting the mission, and pay close attention to the tilting mechanism inside the Divine Beast. Use your environment and abilities to your advantage, and donÔÇÖt be afraid to experiment with different strategies. With careful planning and execution, youÔÇÖll be able to activate Vah Medoh and gain a powerful new ability to aid you in your journey.
