How do I unlock the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To unlock the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to follow a series of steps that involve traveling to the Gerudo Desert, completing specific tasks, and preparing for a challenging battle. This quest is one of the four main Divine Beast quests and is tied to the Gerudo region. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to unlock and complete the quest.

First, you need to make your way to the Gerudo Desert. The Gerudo region is located in the southwestern part of Hyrule. You can reach it by traveling through the Gerudo Canyon, which is accessible from the Hyrule Field area. Once you arrive in the Gerudo Desert, head to Gerudo Town, the main settlement in the region. However, before you can enter Gerudo Town, you need to disguise yourself as a Gerudo woman because only women are allowed inside. To do this, you must obtain the Gerudo outfit, which consists of the Gerudo Veil, Gerudo Top, and Gerudo Sirwal. You can purchase these items from the clothing shop in Kara Kara Bazaar, a small oasis located just outside Gerudo Town.

After entering Gerudo Town, you need to speak with Riju, the leader of the Gerudo. She is located in the palace at the top of the town. Riju will explain that the Divine Beast Vah Naboris has been causing sandstorms and terrorizing the region. She will ask for your help to calm the beast. To do this, you need to retrieve the Thunder Helm, a powerful artifact that can protect you from the lightning attacks of the Divine Beast. However, Riju will only lend you the Thunder Helm if you complete a series of tasks for the townspeople. These tasks are part of the "Forbidden City Entry" quest and involve helping various NPCs in Gerudo Town.

Once you have completed the necessary tasks and obtained the Thunder Helm, Riju will agree to help you. She will provide you with a Sand Seal, a creature that can pull you across the desert sands. You will need to ride the Sand Seal to chase down the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, which is roaming the desert. During this chase, you will need to avoid lightning strikes and other obstacles. Once you catch up to the Divine Beast, you will need to board it and begin the process of freeing it from Ganon's control.

Inside Vah Naboris, you will encounter a series of puzzles and enemies. The puzzles involve manipulating the Divine Beast's internal mechanisms to open new paths and access terminals. Each terminal you activate will restore a portion of the Divine Beast's control, bringing you closer to the final battle. One of the key mechanics in Vah Naboris is the ability to tilt the beast's body, which changes the orientation of the rooms and allows you to solve puzzles in different ways. Pay close attention to the environment and use your Sheikah Slate abilities, such as Magnesis and Stasis, to interact with objects and solve puzzles.

After activating all the terminals, you will face Thunderblight Ganon, the boss of Vah Naboris. Thunderblight Ganon is one of the most challenging bosses in the game due to its speed and lightning-based attacks. To defeat it, you need to be well-prepared. Make sure you have plenty of healing items, such as hearty meals and elixirs, and equip weapons and armor that provide resistance to electricity. The Rubber Armor set, which can be found in various shrines and quests, is particularly useful for this fight. During the battle, Thunderblight Ganon will teleport around the arena and attack with lightning-fast strikes. Use your shield to block its attacks and look for openings to counterattack. In the second phase of the battle, Thunderblight Ganon will summon metal pillars that conduct electricity. Use Magnesis to move these pillars and create a path for the electricity to harm the boss.

Once you defeat Thunderblight Ganon, you will free Vah Naboris from Ganon's control. Riju will thank you for your help, and you will gain the ability to summon Urbosa's Fury, a powerful lightning attack that can be used in combat. This ability is one of the four Champion abilities you can obtain by freeing the Divine Beasts.

In summary, unlocking the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest involves traveling to the Gerudo Desert, disguising yourself as a Gerudo woman, completing tasks for the townspeople, and preparing for a challenging battle with Thunderblight Ganon. Make sure to gather the necessary items, such as the Gerudo outfit and the Thunder Helm, and equip yourself with weapons and armor that provide resistance to electricity. Pay attention to the puzzles inside Vah Naboris and use your Sheikah Slate abilities to solve them. With proper preparation and strategy, you can successfully complete the quest and gain a powerful new ability.
