How do I complete the "The Secret Club's Secret" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To complete "The Secret Club's Secret" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you will need to infiltrate Gerudo Town's secret club, which is hidden behind a locked door. This quest involves a mix of exploration, puzzle-solving, and resource management. Here is a detailed guide to help you successfully complete the quest.

First, you need to reach Gerudo Town, located in the Gerudo Desert in the southwestern part of Hyrule. To enter the town, you must disguise yourself as a Gerudo woman because only women are allowed inside. You can obtain the Gerudo disguise by completing the "Forbidden City Entry" side quest. This involves purchasing the Desert Voe set from the clothing shop in Kara Kara Bazaar, which includes the Gerudo Veil, Gerudo Top, and Gerudo Sirwal. Once you wear this outfit, you can enter Gerudo Town without any issues.

Once inside Gerudo Town, head to the northern part of the town where you will find a group of Gerudo women gathered around a door. They will mention a secret club and a password required to enter. To learn the password, you need to eavesdrop on their conversation. Stand close to them and listen carefully. They will mention the password, which is "GSCÔÖª" (GSC Diamond). Make sure to remember this password as it is crucial for gaining entry to the secret club.

Next, approach the door and interact with it. You will be prompted to enter the password. Input "GSCÔÖª" to unlock the door and gain access to the secret club. Inside, you will find a group of Gerudo women discussing various topics, including the location of a hidden treasure. This treasure is the Thunder Helm, a powerful piece of armor that grants immunity to lightning attacks.

To obtain the Thunder Helm, you need to complete the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" main quest and then speak to Riju, the leader of the Gerudo. She will give you the Thunder Helm as a reward for your efforts in defeating the Divine Beast and saving Gerudo Town from the threat of Calamity Ganon.

There are a few important tips and considerations to keep in mind while completing this quest. First, make sure you have enough rupees to purchase the Desert Voe set from Kara Kara Bazaar. The set costs a total of 600 rupees, so ensure you have enough funds before heading to the bazaar. Additionally, be cautious when eavesdropping on the Gerudo women. If you get too close or linger for too long, they may become suspicious and ask you to leave. Maintain a safe distance and listen carefully to avoid detection.

Common mistakes to avoid include forgetting the password or mishearing it. If you input the wrong password, the door will not open, and you will need to eavesdrop again to get the correct password. Another mistake is not having the proper disguise, which will prevent you from entering Gerudo Town in the first place. Always ensure you are wearing the full Gerudo outfit before attempting to enter the town.

Advanced techniques and optimizations include using stealth-enhancing armor or elixirs to make eavesdropping easier. The Stealth Set, which can be purchased in Kakariko Village, increases your stealth and makes it easier to approach the Gerudo women without being noticed. Additionally, using a stealth elixir can further enhance your ability to remain undetected while eavesdropping.

Required items and preparation include the Desert Voe set, which is essential for entering Gerudo Town. You will also need a sufficient amount of rupees to purchase the set. It is also helpful to have stealth-enhancing items or armor to make eavesdropping easier.

Alternative approaches include using the Sheikah Sensor to locate the secret club if you are having trouble finding it. The Sheikah Sensor can be upgraded to detect specific objects or locations, making it easier to locate the secret club's entrance. Additionally, if you have already completed the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" quest, you can skip the eavesdropping step and directly speak to Riju to obtain the Thunder Helm.

In summary, completing "The Secret Club's Secret" side quest involves disguising yourself as a Gerudo woman, eavesdropping to learn the password, and entering the secret club to obtain the Thunder Helm. By following the steps outlined above and keeping the tips and considerations in mind, you can successfully complete this quest and gain access to a powerful piece of armor.
