How do I start the "The Thunder Magnet" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
To start "The Thunder Magnet" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to travel to the Faron region, specifically to the Lakeside Stable located southeast of Lake Floria. This quest involves helping an NPC named Kass, who is a Rito bard, solve a riddle related to a shrine. The quest is tied to the Shae Katha Shrine, which is hidden and requires you to solve a puzzle involving lightning.
First, make sure you have the necessary equipment and preparation. Since this quest involves dealing with lightning, it is highly recommended to have either the Rubber Armor set or at least one piece of it to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning. The Rubber Armor can be found in various locations: the Rubber Helm is in the Qukah Nata Shrine, the Rubber Tights are in the Toh Yahsa Shrine, and the Rubber Armor is in the chest at the Calora Lake. If you donÔÇÖt have the Rubber Armor, you can also use food or elixirs that provide shock resistance. Additionally, bring along a few wooden or non-metallic weapons and shields, as metal equipment will attract lightning and can be dangerous during this quest.
Once you arrive at the Lakeside Stable, you will find Kass standing near the stable. Speak to him, and he will sing a riddle that hints at the solution to the shrine puzzle. The riddle goes like this: "When lightning strikes the dragonÔÇÖs mouth, the shrine will rise from the earth." This riddle is referring to the nearby area where a dragon named Farosh appears. Farosh is one of the three dragons in the game, and it frequently appears in the Faron region, especially around Lake Floria and the Floria Bridge.
To solve the riddle, you need to wait for Farosh to appear and then use the environment to your advantage. Farosh typically appears in the morning, so you can rest at the stable until morning to increase your chances of seeing it. Once Farosh appears, it will fly around the area, and you will notice that it generates updrafts and lightning strikes. The key is to position yourself near the dragonÔÇÖs mouth when it is struck by lightning. This can be tricky, as you need to be close enough to the dragon but also avoid getting hit by the lightning yourself.
One strategy is to use the updrafts created by Farosh to glide close to its mouth. Equip a wooden or non-metallic bow and arrows, as metal bows will attract lightning. When Farosh is struck by lightning, the shrine will appear near the Floria Bridge. The Shae Katha Shrine will rise from the ground, and you can then enter it to complete the shrine challenge.
A common mistake players make is using metal equipment during this quest, which can lead to being struck by lightning and losing health or equipment. Always ensure that your weapons, shields, and bows are made of wood or other non-metallic materials. Another mistake is not waiting for the right time for Farosh to appear. Patience is key, as the dragon does not appear at all times of the day. Resting until morning or evening can help increase the chances of seeing Farosh.
For advanced techniques, you can use the environment to your advantage by setting up campfires or using the stableÔÇÖs cooking pot to prepare shock-resistant elixirs or meals. This will give you an extra layer of protection against lightning strikes. Additionally, you can use the Paraglider to glide close to Farosh and position yourself perfectly for when the lightning strikes.
In summary, to start and complete "The Thunder Magnet" side quest, travel to the Lakeside Stable in the Faron region, speak to Kass, and listen to his riddle. Prepare by equipping non-metallic gear and obtaining shock resistance through armor or elixirs. Wait for Farosh to appear, use the updrafts to glide close to its mouth, and ensure you are in the right position when lightning strikes. Avoid using metal equipment and be patient as you wait for the dragon to appear. By following these steps and strategies, you will successfully complete the quest and unlock the Shae Katha Shrine.
