The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Walkthrough – Main Quest: Divine Beast Vah Medoh Dungeon
In earlier Zelda outings this is able to’ve been named a dungeon or temple, although that is nonetheless fairly totally different to these ideas in earlier games. There’s nonetheless the essential dungeon format happening right here: a collection of puzzles to finish and an over-arching theme to the type of the dungeon. For Vah Medoh, that is wind. Think of this because the wind dungeon, in most interesting Zelda custom.
Rather than keys and locked doorways (as in earlier Zelda games), your aim right here is less complicated. You must activate 5 totally different terminals scattered round Divine Vah Medoh. The dungeon format is sort of open, so the problem is in attending to or activating these terminals quite than opening locked doorways and such.
Once you get entry to the map you’ll additionally have the ability to make Vah Medoh transfer its wings, and doing this tilts and twists the entire dungeon, transferring objects round. This is totally very important for finishing the Divine Beast Vah Medoh dungeon – in order the voice of the Rito champion tells you, you’ll first must seize a map from the map room. So.. let’s get that map.
Inside Divine Beast Vah Medoh: Getting a Map
Once the cutscene has performed out and you’ve got management of Link correctly as soon as once more, you’ll be aboard Divine Beast Vah Medoh. Turn round and look behind you in direction of Vah Medoh’s tail. There’s a chest again right here, and a few Ganon corruption gunk. This stuff can be encountered incessantly, so get used to it. This is a pleasant simple begin to the dungeon – simply stroll again there, use the brief ramp to leap over the corruption, then seize the chest.
Once you’ve opened the chest, look to the appropriate of it. There’s a Ganon’s corruption eye factor (what are these items?!), and if you happen to shoot it with an arrow the corruption that was beforehand in your approach will disappear.
Turn again and head via the doorway correct. Into the stomach of the (divine) beast! There’s Ganon’s corruption forward, however if you happen to look to the appropriate hand aspect of it there’s a watch you possibly can shoot to eliminate it, similar to with the chest.
Walk forwards – there’s an updraft right here, as you discovered heaps on the way in which right here. Ride the updraft together with your paraglider, and when you find yourself on the center space with steel blocks remember if it’s worthwhile to you should use your Magenesis rune energy to tug them into a greater place.
Run and soar throughout, kill the lone guardian, then obtain the map on the terminal. Now for the truly troublesome half… we have to activate 5 terminals. The terminals are scattered all through Vah Medoh, and so your path to activate them is thru finishing numerous puzzles and making use of the brand new management you may have over the Divine Beast Vah Medoh by way of the map display screen.
Inside Divine Beast Vah Medoh: Terminal 1
If you head out of the map obtain room and hook proper you’ll discover a ledge you possibly can drop down onto – on this ledge there’s a chest you will get. Drop down as soon as extra and there’s a chest lined in Ganon corruption. The eye within the center is a tough bow shot to make, however you can too get it by tossing a bomb into the center and detonating.
Take the updraft again to the primary corridor, with the steel blocks you possibly can transfer with Magnesis. They’re all properly and good, but it surely’s the stone ones we wish to transfer… and we are able to. You can both use stasis to freeze and hit these blocks or tilt Vah Medoh on the map display screen to make them transfer – both works.
With that famous, use that to move to the opening in direction of the appropriate wing of Divine Beast Vah Medoh. One of the stone blocks might be moved proper to that opening to supply a platform.
In this room there’s some purple corruption gunk on the ceiling that’ll spit out enemies on the far finish, so run down there and take that out with a well-placed arrow first.
Now hit the swap in the course of the room. That swap will open a window, sending wind gushing in. There are followers on the ceiling… we all know what to do, proper? Very Wind Waker.
One of the fan switches is already within the air’s path, so depart that for now. The different must be pushed there. Hit it with Stasis, then with a bomb arrow – it’s best to have a few of these left. It might take two goes, however you’ll get it into place. A small gate will open.
In the trail of the air behind the followers is a big battering ram, and up the way in which from it’s a swap. By decreasing the barrier we are able to now use these two collectively.
Once once more it’s stasis or tilt – both tilt Divine Beast Vah Medoh a technique then the opposite to make the ram draw again and slam the swap or freeze the ram with stasis and slam it a bunch with a heavy weapon. I truly discovered stasis a bit simpler/faster.
Behind the door that opens is your first terminal. Onto the subsequent!
Inside Divine Beast Vah Medoh: Terminal 2
Head again to the primary room. Use both stasis or hen tilting to place one of many blocks as such which you could soar onto the grill on the different aspect of the room.
Climb it, open the chest on the prime, then shoot the attention to take away the Ganon corruption stopping entry to the left wing of the beast.
Head into the left wing of Vah Medoh. Take out the attention behind the corruption with a cautious shot so you possibly can work in peace.
Hit the swap in the appropriate nook of the room, then head up the ramp and round till you’re above the present of wind. Jump and paraglide throughout to the second terminal. That one was simple!
Inside Divine Beast Vah Medoh: Terminal 3
In the identical room as the place you bought the second terminal, head to the far nook the place the swap is. Hit the swap after which drop a bomb via the little gap. It’ll roll down (you possibly can tilt the wings by way of the map display screen to hurry up the ball by way of gravity) after which hit an cracked-looking blockage. Detonate.
Repeat this once more, this time winding the bomb across the path by utilizing wing tilting (tilt the wing down, then have the open window blow the bomb throughout the room.
The bomb will find yourself at one other wall you possibly can blow to smithereens, so do this. You free a big steel ball.
Tilt the wings all the way down to free the ball of its cage after which seize it via the window(!) with Magnesis.
Place it on the tracks the bomb was on – you possibly can see the swap the opposite aspect of the room, proper? Tilt the wings and watch the ball roll and hit it arduous.
The door will open. Head proper in and seize terminal three.
Inside Divine Beast Vah Medoh: Terminal 4
Leave this room – go again to the primary corridor and drop all the way down to the decrease flooring. Take the one path that isn’t lined in ganon’s corruption out to the skin and underside of Divine Beast Vah Medoh’s wings. That’s… fairly the drop. Don’t fall.
There’s a small basket proper in entrance of you – look and spot it’s on the identical sort of railing as all of the stuff you’ve been transferring with the wings or with stasis.
From a distance (sure, it’s a tricky shot) hit the attention on the corruption to clear it away, then get within the basket and tilt the wings so the basket will carry you to the opposite aspect.
Head up the steps right here… and there’s a terminal proper there! Terminal 4 is down. One to go.
Inside Divine Beast Vah Medoh: Terminal 5
Terminal 5 is on the opposite aspect of the underside of Divine Beast Vah Medoh from Terminal 4, besides the place Terminal 4 had a beautiful, easy basket to hold you throughout this terminal isn’t so form – it’s simply hanging out, and the one solution to get there may be some precarious gliding.
Remember a tilt of the wings will make the platform a bit decrease – for me this made it simpler to achieve.
Download Terminal 5, then put together your self. Glide again to security (once more, tilting the wings in order that your vacation spot is decrease is helpful if you happen to’re nervous) after which set the hen’s wings flat once more.
It’s time to take again this Divine Beast. From right here on the underside of the hen you’ll have the ability to glide onto the highest of its wings on an up-draft. Here you’ll discover the primary terminal. Activate it.
Boss: Windblight Ganon
Windblight Ganon flies, and also you’re atop the wings of a flying beast which is all… properly, it’s all very applicable. This boss warps across the battlefield and has a robust slate of each up-close and long-distance assaults.
You do have one slight benefit, nonetheless – keep in mind how you bought onto Divine Beast Vah Medoh within the first place? Fans with updrafts are scattered round Vah Medoh’s wings, and if you happen to get in a single you possibly can soar and deploy your paraglider to get excessive within the air.
Once you’re floating, get a bead on Windblight Ganon and intention for its eye, making use of the slow-motion firing-while-mid-air bonus that you simply get when pulling you bow out mid-glide. Keep doing this. If you’ve received leftover bomb arrows out of your assault on Vah Medoh earlier, now could be the time to make use of them.
When Vah Medoh switches phases it’s best to actually pull out the massive weapons. The drone-like enemies it deploys to assist itself could make issues actually hazardous, and so they actively work to stop you from utilizing the updrafts. Focus in your strongest instruments, and if you happen to knock Vah Medoh down waste no time in getting in there with a sword.
Don’t overlook to make use of meals and elixirs to buff your self too, particularly within the second section.
When the combat is completed there’ll be one other beautiful cutscene and also you’ll get Revali’s Gale, a brand new capacity that permits you to carry out three super-high jumps. When you’ve performed three, the flexibility will take a while to recharge.
