How do I access the Divine Beast Vah Medoh in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To access the Divine Beast Vah Medoh in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you must first complete the main quest "Divine Beast Vah Medoh," which is part of the larger story involving the four Divine Beasts. Vah Medoh is the Divine Beast associated with the Rito tribe, located in the Hebra region of Hyrule. Here is a detailed guide on how to access and complete this quest.

First, you need to travel to Rito Village, which is located in the Tabantha region. To reach Rito Village, head northwest from Hyrule Castle, passing through the Tabantha Bridge Stable. The village is situated on a large rock formation and is easily recognizable by its tall, spiraling structures. Once you arrive, speak to the Rito elder, Kaneli, who is located at the top of the village. He will inform you about the Divine Beast Vah Medoh and the troubles it is causing for the Rito people. This conversation will trigger the quest "Divine Beast Vah Medoh."

Next, you need to find Teba, a Rito warrior who is willing to help you take down Vah Medoh. Teba can be found at the Flight Range, which is located northeast of Rito Village. To reach the Flight Range, you can either glide from the village or use a horse to travel there. Once you arrive, speak to Teba, who will explain the plan to take down Vah Medoh. He will provide you with a set of bomb arrows and ask you to help him shoot down the cannons on the Divine Beast.

The next step involves a combat sequence where you and Teba will attack Vah Medoh from the air. You will need to use your bow and arrows to shoot the cannons on the Divine Beast. It is important to aim carefully and make use of the bomb arrows provided by Teba. The cannons will fire back at you, so you need to be quick and precise. Once all the cannons are destroyed, Vah Medoh will lower its altitude, allowing you to board it.

Before boarding Vah Medoh, it is recommended to prepare adequately. Make sure you have a good supply of arrows, especially bomb arrows, as they are very effective against the cannons. Additionally, bring along some healing items, such as hearty meals or elixirs, to restore your health during the battle. Wearing armor that provides cold resistance is also advisable, as the Hebra region is very cold.

Once you board Vah Medoh, you will need to navigate its interior and solve a series of puzzles to gain control of the Divine Beast. The puzzles involve manipulating the tilt of the Divine Beast to access different areas and activate terminals. Each terminal you activate will restore a part of Vah Medoh's functionality. Pay close attention to the map of the Divine Beast, as it will help you understand the layout and the positions of the terminals.

After activating all the terminals, you will face Windblight Ganon, the boss of Vah Medoh. Windblight Ganon is a fast and agile enemy that uses wind-based attacks. It is important to keep moving and avoid its attacks. Use your bow to shoot its eye, which is its weak point. When it is stunned, attack it with your melee weapons. Repeat this process until Windblight Ganon is defeated.

Once Windblight Ganon is defeated, you will regain control of Vah Medoh, and it will become an ally in the fight against Calamity Ganon. You will also receive Revali's Gale, a powerful ability that allows you to create an upward draft, making it easier to reach high places. This ability is very useful for exploration and combat.

In summary, accessing Divine Beast Vah Medoh involves traveling to Rito Village, speaking to the elder, finding Teba, and participating in an aerial battle to disable the Divine Beast's cannons. After boarding Vah Medoh, you will need to solve puzzles and defeat Windblight Ganon to gain control of the Divine Beast. Proper preparation, including having a good supply of arrows and healing items, is crucial for success. By following these steps, you will be able to complete the quest and gain a powerful ally in your journey to defeat Calamity Ganon.
