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

Navigating the sandstorm in the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest is one of the more challenging parts of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This quest begins when you approach the Gerudo Desert and attempt to reach the Divine Beast, which is surrounded by a massive sandstorm that obscures your vision and makes navigation nearly impossible. To successfully navigate the sandstorm, you need to follow a series of steps and prepare adequately.

First, you must complete the quest "Forbidden City Entry" to gain access to Gerudo Town. This involves disguising yourself as a Gerudo woman by obtaining the Gerudo outfit, which includes the Gerudo Veil, Gerudo Top, and Gerudo Sirwal. These can be purchased from the clothing shop in Kara Kara Bazaar. Once you have the outfit, you can enter Gerudo Town and speak to Riju, the Gerudo chief, who will give you the quest to calm Vah Naboris.

To navigate the sandstorm, you will need to use a Sand Seal, a creature that allows you to traverse the desert quickly. You can rent a Sand Seal from the Sand Seal rental shop in Gerudo Town. Additionally, you will need a shield to attach the Sand Seal to, as this is how you will move across the sand. Make sure you have a sturdy shield, as the journey can be rough.

Once you have your Sand Seal and shield, head to the edge of the desert where the sandstorm begins. The sandstorm will severely limit your visibility, making it difficult to see landmarks or navigate. To overcome this, you need to follow the glowing green lights that appear in the sandstorm. These lights are created by the Gerudo warriors who are guiding you through the storm. They will lead you to the Divine Beast.

As you follow the lights, be mindful of the Yiga Clan members who will ambush you during the journey. These enemies can appear suddenly and attack you, so stay alert. Use your bow and arrows to take them out from a distance, or use your melee weapons if they get too close. It is also a good idea to have some healing items and elixirs ready in case you take damage.

One common mistake players make is trying to rush through the sandstorm without paying attention to the lights. This can lead to getting lost or running into enemies unprepared. Take your time and follow the lights carefully. Another mistake is not having enough stamina to keep up with the Sand Seal. Make sure you have enough stamina or stamina-restoring items to keep moving.

An advanced technique is to use the map to mark your path. Even though the sandstorm obscures your vision, you can still see the map. Mark the locations of the lights and use them as waypoints to guide you. This can help you stay on track even if you lose sight of the lights temporarily.

Preparation is key for this quest. Make sure you have a good supply of arrows, weapons, and healing items. It is also helpful to have some cold-resistant elixirs or clothing, as the desert can get cold at night. The Gerudo outfit will protect you from the heat during the day, but you will need additional protection for the cold nights.

An alternative approach is to use the Master Cycle Zero if you have it. This vehicle can traverse the desert quickly and does not require a Sand Seal. However, this is only available if you have completed the "EX The Champions' Ballad" DLC.

In summary, navigating the sandstorm in the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest requires careful preparation and attention to detail. Follow the glowing green lights, stay alert for Yiga Clan ambushes, and make sure you have the necessary items and stamina to complete the journey. By following these steps, you will successfully reach the Divine Beast and continue your quest to defeat Calamity Ganon.
