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

To unlock the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to follow a series of steps that involve traveling to the Gerudo Desert, completing specific tasks, and preparing for a challenging battle. Vah Naboris is one of the four Divine Beasts and is associated with the Gerudo region. The quest to unlock it is called "Divine Beast Vah Naboris," and it begins in Gerudo Town. Here is a detailed guide on how to unlock and complete this quest.

First, you need to reach Gerudo Town, which is located in the southwestern part of Hyrule, in the Gerudo Desert. 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 purchasing it 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, wear it and enter Gerudo Town.

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 that she needs your help to stop it. Riju will give you the quest "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" and ask you to meet her at the lookout post outside the town. Before leaving, make sure to stock up on supplies, such as food, arrows, and weapons, as the upcoming battle will be challenging.

At the lookout post, Riju will explain that you need to calm Vah Naboris by using the Thunder Helm, a powerful artifact that can protect you from lightning. However, the Thunder Helm is currently being used to protect the town from the Divine Beast's attacks. To obtain the Thunder Helm, you must complete a series of side quests for the townspeople. These quests include tasks like finding a missing person, solving a puzzle, and defeating a group of enemies. Completing these quests will earn you the trust of the Gerudo and allow you to borrow the Thunder Helm.

Once you have the Thunder Helm, Riju will accompany you to the Divine Beast. You will need to ride a sand seal, a creature that can pull you across the desert at high speed. Riju will provide you with a sand seal, and you will need to follow her to Vah Naboris. Along the way, you will encounter Yiga Clan members, who will try to stop you. Be prepared to fight them off using your weapons and abilities.

When you reach Vah Naboris, you will need to use the Thunder Helm to protect yourself from the Divine Beast's lightning attacks. Riju will use her powers to create a protective barrier, allowing you to approach the Divine Beast. Once you are close enough, you will need to board Vah Naboris and begin the process of freeing it from Ganon's control. This involves solving puzzles, defeating enemies, and navigating the interior of the Divine Beast.

Inside Vah Naboris, you will encounter various puzzles that require you to manipulate the Divine Beast's mechanisms. These puzzles involve rotating parts of the Divine Beast, activating switches, and using your abilities to progress. One of the key mechanics in Vah Naboris is the ability to tilt the Divine Beast, which changes the orientation of the rooms and allows you to access new areas. Pay close attention to the environment and use your Sheikah Slate abilities, such as Magnesis and Stasis, to solve the puzzles.

After navigating the interior of Vah Naboris, you will face Thunderblight Ganon, the boss of the Divine Beast. Thunderblight Ganon is a fast and agile enemy that uses lightning-based attacks. To defeat Thunderblight Ganon, you will need to use your shield to block its attacks and counter with your own. The boss has a second phase where it becomes even faster and more aggressive, so be prepared to dodge and attack quickly. Using weapons with high damage output and wearing armor that provides lightning resistance can help you in this battle.

Once you defeat Thunderblight Ganon, you will free Vah Naboris from Ganon's control. The Divine Beast will become an ally and provide you with a powerful ability called Urbosa's Fury, which allows you to summon a powerful lightning strike. You will also receive a Heart Container as a reward for completing the quest.

In summary, unlocking the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest involves traveling to Gerudo Town, obtaining the Gerudo outfit, completing side quests to earn the Thunder Helm, and riding a sand seal to reach the Divine Beast. Inside Vah Naboris, you will need to solve puzzles and defeat Thunderblight Ganon to free the Divine Beast. Preparation is key, so make sure to stock up on supplies and wear appropriate armor for the battle. By following these steps, you will successfully unlock and complete the Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest.
