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 Field, passing through the Tabantha Bridge Stable. Once you arrive in Rito Village, speak to the elder, Kaneli, who will inform you about the Divine Beast Vah Medoh and its threat to the village. He will direct you to Teba, a Rito warrior who is preparing to take on 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 meet Teba, he will explain his plan to shoot down the cannons on Vah Medoh to create an opening for you to board the Divine Beast. However, he needs your help to distract the cannons while he takes them out.

Before you proceed, itÔÇÖs important to prepare adequately. Make sure you have a good supply of arrows, especially Bomb Arrows, as they are effective against the cannons. You should also have a strong bow, such as the Falcon Bow or the Great Eagle Bow, which can be obtained from the Rito Village. Additionally, stock up on healing items like Hearty meals or Elixirs, as the cannons can deal significant damage.

Once youÔÇÖre ready, Teba will take you to the launch point near the Flight Range. From there, you will use a paraglider to approach Vah Medoh while Teba distracts the cannons. Your goal is to shoot the cannons with Bomb Arrows to disable them. Aim carefully, as the cannons will fire at you, and you need to avoid their attacks while taking them out. Once all the cannons are destroyed, Teba will create an opening for you to board Vah Medoh.

Upon entering the Divine Beast, you will need to solve a series of puzzles to activate the terminals and gain control of Vah Medoh. The puzzles involve manipulating the BeastÔÇÖs tilting mechanism to access different areas. For example, you may need to tilt the Beast to create a path or to align platforms so you can reach a terminal. Pay attention to the map of Vah Medoh, which shows the layout and the location of the terminals.

One of the key puzzles involves using the tilt mechanism to redirect a laser beam to a specific target. You will need to adjust the angle of the Beast to align the laser with the target. Another puzzle requires you to use the tilt mechanism to create a path for a rolling ball to hit a switch. These puzzles can be challenging, but taking your time to observe the environment and experiment with the tilt mechanism will help you solve them.

After activating all the terminals, you will face the boss of Vah Medoh, Windblight Ganon. This boss is a fast and agile enemy that uses wind-based attacks. It will summon tornadoes and fire energy blasts at you. To defeat Windblight Ganon, you need to use your bow to shoot its eye, which is its weak point. When the eye is exposed, shoot it with arrows to stun the boss, then attack it with your melee weapons. Repeat this process until Windblight Ganon is defeated.

Once you defeat Windblight Ganon, you will gain control of Vah Medoh and receive the ability RevaliÔÇÖs Gale, which allows you to create an upward draft to reach high places. This ability is incredibly useful for exploration and combat, as it gives you a significant mobility advantage.

In summary, activating Divine Beast Vah Medoh involves preparation, combat, puzzle-solving, and a boss fight. Make sure to stock up on arrows and healing items, use the tilt mechanism to solve puzzles, and aim for Windblight GanonÔÇÖs eye to defeat it. With careful planning and execution, you can successfully activate Vah Medoh and gain a powerful ability to aid you in your journey.
