How do I complete the "The Thunder Helm" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
To complete "The Thunder Helm" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you must help the Gerudo people in Gerudo Town by completing a series of smaller quests. This quest is given by Riju, the chief of the Gerudo, after you have freed the Divine Beast Vah Naboris. The Thunder Helm is a powerful piece of armor that grants immunity to lightning strikes, making it highly valuable for exploring areas with frequent thunderstorms or fighting enemies that use electric attacks.
First, you need to speak with Riju in the throne room of Gerudo Town. She will explain that the Thunder Helm is a sacred relic of the Gerudo, but it is currently being used to protect the town from the Yiga Clan. Riju will ask you to help the Gerudo people with their problems, and once you complete these tasks, she will allow you to borrow the Thunder Helm. There are four specific quests you need to complete, each given by a different Gerudo resident.
The first quest is "The Search for Barta," given by Malena near the entrance of Gerudo Town. Barta has gone missing in the desert, and you need to find her. Head to the Kara Kara Bazaar and speak with the Gerudo woman near the water. She will tell you that Barta went to the East Barrens. Travel to the East Barrens and look for a cave near the edge of the map. Inside, you will find Barta trapped by a Molduga. Defeat the Molduga by using bombs to lure it out of the sand and then attacking its weak points. Once the Molduga is defeated, speak with Barta to complete the quest.
The second quest is "The Mystery Polluter," given by Dalia in Gerudo Town. Dalia is concerned about the water supply being polluted. Investigate the water source near the town and follow the trail of trash to a group of Gerudo children playing near the water. Speak with them to learn that they have been throwing fruit into the water. Convince them to stop, and then return to Dalia to complete the quest.
The third quest is "Medicinal Molduga," given by Saula in the Gerudo barracks. Saula needs Molduga guts to create medicine. You can obtain Molduga guts by defeating Moldugas in the desert. Use the same strategy as before, luring them out with bombs and attacking their weak points. Once you have the guts, return to Saula to complete the quest.
The fourth quest is "The Secret Club's Secret," given by Rotana in Gerudo Town. Rotana is a scholar studying ancient Gerudo texts, and she needs help finding a specific book. The book is located in the Gerudo Secret Club, which is hidden behind a wall in the town. To gain access, you need to wear the Gerudo outfit and speak with the guard near the club. Inside, purchase the book from the shopkeeper and bring it back to Rotana to complete the quest.
After completing all four quests, return to Riju in the throne room. She will thank you for your help and allow you to borrow the Thunder Helm. Keep in mind that the Thunder Helm is not a permanent item, and you will need to return it to Riju after completing the quest.
Some important tips and considerations include making sure you have the Gerudo outfit to access certain areas in Gerudo Town, as well as preparing for the Molduga fights by stocking up on healing items and weapons. Additionally, be mindful of the Yiga Clan, as they may ambush you while you are completing these quests.
Common mistakes to avoid include not having the necessary items or outfits to complete the quests, such as the Gerudo outfit for accessing the Secret Club. Another mistake is underestimating the Molduga fights, which can be challenging if you are not prepared.
Advanced techniques or optimizations include using the environment to your advantage during the Molduga fights, such as hiding behind rocks to avoid its attacks. You can also use the Thunder Helm's lightning immunity to explore areas with frequent thunderstorms without worrying about being struck.
Required items and preparation include the Gerudo outfit, bombs for the Molduga fights, and healing items. It is also helpful to have a good supply of arrows and weapons for dealing with any Yiga Clan ambushes.
Alternative approaches include completing the quests in any order, as there is no specific sequence required. You can also choose to complete other side quests in Gerudo Town to gain additional rewards and experience.
Specific examples and scenarios include the Molduga fight in the East Barrens, where you need to use bombs to lure the Molduga out of the sand and then attack its weak points. Another example is the Secret Club quest, where you need to wear the Gerudo outfit and speak with the guard to gain access to the hidden area.
By following these steps and tips, you can successfully complete "The Thunder Helm" side quest and gain access to this powerful piece of armor.
