How do I unlock the Divine Beast Vah Medoh quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
To unlock the Divine Beast Vah Medoh quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to follow a series of steps that involve traveling to the Rito Village, speaking with key NPCs, and completing a preparatory quest. Vah Medoh is the Divine Beast associated with the Rito tribe, and it is located in the Hebra region of Hyrule. The quest is called "Divine Beast Vah Medoh," and it is one of the four main Divine Beast quests that are central to the game's story. Below is a detailed explanation of how to unlock and complete this quest.
First, you need to make your way to Rito Village, which is located in the Tabantha region. The village is situated on a series of rock pillars, and you can reach it by traveling northwest from Hyrule Castle or by following the road from the Tabantha Bridge Stable. Once you arrive in Rito Village, head to the top of the village where you will find the Rito Chieftain, Kaneli, and the Rito warrior, Teba. Speak with Kaneli to learn about the Divine Beast Vah Medoh, which is flying ominously in the skies above the village. Kaneli will explain that Vah Medoh has been corrupted by Ganon and is causing trouble for the Rito people. He will then direct you to Teba, who is preparing to take down the Divine Beast.
Teba is located near the village's flight range, which is a training area for Rito warriors. Speak with Teba, and he will explain his plan to shoot down Vah Medoh using a special bow and arrows. However, he needs your help to distract the Divine Beast's defenses while he takes his shots. This initiates the preparatory quest called "Reach Teba at the Flight Range." To complete this quest, you will need to follow Teba to the flight range and assist him in his mission.
Before heading to the flight range, it is a good idea to prepare for the upcoming battle. Make sure you have a decent supply of arrows, as you will need to use your bow to take down the cannons on Vah Medoh. Additionally, bring some cold-resistant gear or elixirs, as the Hebra region is very cold, and you will take damage from the freezing temperatures without proper protection. The Rito Village shop sells the Snowquill Set, which provides cold resistance, or you can cook elixirs using ingredients like Spicy Peppers or Sunshrooms.
Once you are ready, follow Teba to the flight range. You will need to glide from the village to the flight range, so make sure you have enough stamina or stamina-restoring items. At the flight range, Teba will explain the plan in more detail. You will need to use your paraglider to fly close to Vah Medoh while Teba shoots at it. During this phase, you will encounter several cannons on the Divine Beast that will fire at you. Use your bow to shoot the cannons and disable them, allowing Teba to take his shots. This requires good aim and timing, so practice your archery skills if needed.
After successfully disabling the cannons and allowing Teba to shoot Vah Medoh, the Divine Beast will be grounded, and you will gain access to its interior. This is where the main part of the quest begins. Inside Vah Medoh, you will need to solve a series of puzzles and navigate the Divine Beast's complex layout. The puzzles involve manipulating the tilt of the Divine Beast using the control terminals, which will open new pathways and reveal hidden chests. Pay close attention to the map of Vah Medoh, as it will help you navigate and locate the terminals.
One of the key puzzles involves using the tilt mechanism to create a path to the main control unit. You will need to tilt the Divine Beast in such a way that the wind currents align, allowing you to glide to the control unit. This requires careful observation and experimentation, so take your time to understand how the tilt affects the environment. Additionally, you will encounter several enemies inside Vah Medoh, including Guardian Scouts. Make sure you have strong weapons and shields to deal with these threats.
Once you have activated all the terminals and reached the main control unit, you will face the boss of Vah Medoh, Windblight Ganon. This boss is a fast and agile enemy that uses wind-based attacks and a powerful bow. To defeat Windblight Ganon, you will need to use your own bow to shoot its eye, which is its weak point. When the boss is stunned, attack it with your melee weapons. Be prepared to dodge its attacks and use your shield to block incoming projectiles. After defeating Windblight Ganon, you will regain control of Vah Medoh and receive the ability Revali's Gale, which allows you to create an upward draft to reach high places.
In summary, unlocking and completing the Divine Beast Vah Medoh quest involves traveling to Rito Village, speaking with Kaneli and Teba, preparing for the cold environment, assisting Teba in shooting down Vah Medoh, solving puzzles inside the Divine Beast, and defeating Windblight Ganon. Proper preparation, including having cold-resistant gear, arrows, and strong weapons, is essential for success. Pay attention to the puzzles and use the map to navigate Vah Medoh effectively. With careful planning and execution, you will be able to complete this quest and gain a powerful ability to aid you in your journey.
