How do I start the Divine Beast Vah Rudania quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
To start the Divine Beast Vah Rudania quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to head to the Eldin region, specifically to Goron City. This Divine Beast is located on Death Mountain, and the quest involves helping the Gorons deal with the corrupted Divine Beast that has been causing problems for them. Here is a detailed guide on how to start and complete this quest.
First, you need to make your way to Goron City. This is located in the Eldin region, which is northeast of Hyrule Castle. The area is extremely hot, so you will need to prepare accordingly. You can either purchase the Flamebreaker Armor set from the armor shop in Goron City or cook food that provides heat resistance. The Flamebreaker Armor is highly recommended as it provides full heat resistance when worn, allowing you to explore the area without taking damage from the heat. If you choose to cook, ingredients like Fireproof Lizards, Chillshrooms, and Cool Safflina can be used to create heat-resistant elixirs and meals.
Once you arrive in Goron City, you will need to speak with Bludo, the boss of the Gorons. He is located in the northern part of the city, near the entrance to the mine. Bludo will explain that Vah Rudania has been causing trouble by attacking the city and that he needs your help to deal with it. He will also mention that Yunobo, a young Goron, has been trying to help but has been unsuccessful so far.
Bludo will give you the quest "Divine Beast Vah Rudania," and your first task will be to find Yunobo. Yunobo is located at the Southern Mine, which is south of Goron City. To reach the Southern Mine, you will need to follow the path leading out of Goron City and head south. Along the way, you may encounter enemies like Fire Keese and Fire Chuchus, so be prepared for combat.
When you find Yunobo, he will explain that he has been trying to use a cannon to shoot Vah Rudania but has been unable to do so because the cannon is not working. Your next task will be to help Yunobo repair the cannon. To do this, you will need to defeat the enemies guarding the cannon and then use Magnesis to move a metal cube into place to repair the cannon's mechanism.
Once the cannon is repaired, you will need to use it to shoot Vah Rudania. Yunobo will help you by loading the cannon, and you will need to aim and fire it at the Divine Beast. This will cause Vah Rudania to retreat, allowing you to board it.
Boarding Vah Rudania involves climbing Death Mountain and using the cannon to create a path. You will need to use the cannon to destroy rocks blocking your way and to create updrafts that you can use with your Paraglider to reach higher areas. This part of the quest requires careful timing and precision, so take your time and plan your moves carefully.
Once you board Vah Rudania, you will need to navigate its interior and solve a series of puzzles to gain control of the Divine Beast. The puzzles involve manipulating the Beast's orientation and using its unique mechanics to access different areas. You will also need to defeat Fireblight Ganon, the boss inside Vah Rudania. This boss is weak to ice-based attacks, so weapons like the Ice Rod or ice arrows are highly effective.
After defeating Fireblight Ganon, you will gain control of Vah Rudania and receive Daruk's Protection, a powerful ability that creates a protective barrier around you, deflecting attacks and reducing damage.
In summary, starting the Divine Beast Vah Rudania quest involves preparing for the heat of the Eldin region, speaking with Bludo in Goron City, finding and helping Yunobo, repairing and using the cannon, boarding Vah Rudania, solving its puzzles, and defeating Fireblight Ganon. Proper preparation, careful planning, and effective use of your abilities and resources are key to successfully completing this quest.
