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

To start the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to head to the Gerudo Desert region, specifically Gerudo Town. This quest is one of the four main Divine Beast quests and is tied to the Gerudo people and their champion, Urbosa. The quest involves freeing Vah Naboris from Ganon's control, which requires solving puzzles, defeating enemies, and navigating the Divine Beast's interior. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to start and complete this quest.

First, you need to reach Gerudo Town, which is located in the southwestern part of Hyrule. To enter Gerudo Town, you must disguise yourself as a woman because the town only allows women to enter. You can obtain the Gerudo outfit by completing the side quest "Forbidden City Entry." This quest is given by a man named Benja, who is standing outside the town. He will ask you to find a way to enter the town. To do this, you need to purchase the Gerudo Vai outfit from the clothing shop in Kara Kara Bazaar, which is located just outside Gerudo Town. The outfit consists of the Gerudo Veil, Gerudo Top, and Gerudo Sirwal. Once you have the outfit, you can enter Gerudo Town.

Once inside Gerudo Town, head to the palace and speak with Riju, the leader of the Gerudo. She will explain that Vah Naboris has been causing trouble in the desert, and she needs your help to stop it. Riju will give you the quest "Divine Beast Vah Naboris," which involves calming the Divine Beast. To do this, you need to board Vah Naboris and defeat the Blight Ganon inside.

Before you can board Vah Naboris, you need to complete a few tasks. First, Riju will ask you to retrieve the Thunder Helm, which is essential for protecting yourself from the lightning attacks of Vah Naboris. The Thunder Helm is being held by the Yiga Clan, a group of enemies who are causing trouble in the region. To retrieve the Thunder Helm, you need to infiltrate the Yiga Clan Hideout, which is located in the Karusa Valley. This involves sneaking past Yiga Clan members and avoiding detection. If you are detected, you will have to fight multiple Yiga Clan members, which can be challenging. ItÔÇÖs recommended to use stealth and avoid direct confrontation if possible.

Once you retrieve the Thunder Helm, return to Riju, and she will lend it to you. With the Thunder Helm equipped, you can now approach Vah Naboris without being struck by lightning. Riju will then accompany you to the Divine Beast, and you will need to use her sand seal, Patricia, to chase down Vah Naboris. During this chase, you will need to shoot the glowing orbs on Vah Naboris's legs to immobilize it. This requires precise aiming and timing, as Vah Naboris moves quickly and the sandstorm can make visibility difficult. ItÔÇÖs recommended to use a bow with a long range and high accuracy, such as the Golden Bow or the Phrenic Bow.

After immobilizing Vah Naboris, you can board the Divine Beast. Inside, you will need to solve a series of puzzles to activate the terminals and gain control of Vah Naboris. The puzzles involve manipulating the Divine Beast's body to create pathways and access different areas. For example, you may need to tilt Vah Naboris to move objects or create ramps. Pay attention to the map and the layout of the Divine Beast to navigate effectively.

Once all the terminals are activated, you will face Thunderblight Ganon, the boss of Vah Naboris. Thunderblight Ganon is one of the most challenging bosses in the game, as it moves quickly and uses lightning-based attacks. ItÔÇÖs important to have good armor and weapons, as well as plenty of healing items. The Thunder Helm will protect you from lightning attacks, but you still need to be cautious. Use shields to block its attacks and look for openings to strike. During the second phase of the fight, Thunderblight Ganon will summon metal pillars and electrify them. Use Magnesis to move the pillars and create a path to attack the boss.

After defeating Thunderblight Ganon, you will regain control of Vah Naboris, and Urbosa will grant you her power, Urbosa's Fury. This ability allows you to unleash a powerful lightning attack that can stun enemies and deal massive damage. With Vah Naboris under your control, you can now use it to help in the final battle against Calamity Ganon.

In summary, starting the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest involves entering Gerudo Town, obtaining the Gerudo Vai outfit, speaking with Riju, retrieving the Thunder Helm, and chasing down Vah Naboris. Once inside, you will need to solve puzzles and defeat Thunderblight Ganon to gain control of the Divine Beast. Preparation is key, so make sure to have good weapons, armor, and healing items before attempting this quest. With careful planning and execution, you can successfully complete the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest and gain a powerful ally in your fight against Calamity Ganon.
