"'''Divine Beast Vah Naboris'''" is a [[Main Quest]] in {{BotW}}.

Once [[Link]] has disguised himself as a woman and gained entry to [[Gerudo Town]] by completing the "[[Forbidden City Entry]]" [[Main Quest]], he can start this Quest by finding Lady [[Riju]], a young Gerudo child who is chief of the Gerudo.<ref name="riju">{{Cite|You stand before {{Color|BotW Blue|Lady Riju}}, chief of the Gerudo! Declare your business, but come no closer!|Buliara|BotW}}</ref> The young Gerudo Chief can be found in the palace in Gerudo Town, sitting upon the throne beside her personal guard, [[Buliara]]. When Link approaches them, Buliara will stop Link and demand him to explain his business here.<ref name="riju"/> Riju will quickly tell Buliara to hold on, noticing that Link is more than a common traveler and asks for his name.<ref>{{Cite|Hold on, Buliara... This one appears to be more than a common traveler. There you—what is your name?|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Link tells Riju his name and that he can calm the [[Divine Beast Vah Naboris (Dungeon)|Divine Beast Vah Naboris]], which has been recently threatening the people in [[Gerudo (Region)|Gerudo]] with its lightning.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|BotW Blue|Divine Beast Vah Naboris}}, cloaked in a massive sandstorm, hurling lightning at any who dare approach.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Riju questions if Link is powerful enough to subdue a [[Divine Beast]].<ref>{{Cite|You think you have what it takes to subdue something so powerful as a Divine Beast?|Riju|BotW}}</ref> She then mentions that [[Champion]]s like Lady [[Urbosa]] are the only ones who have ever been capable of controlling the Divine Beasts, but they died in the [[Great Calamity]] 100 years ago.<ref>{{Cite|The only ones who could ever control them were the Champions like Lady Urbosa. And all of the Champions died in the {{Color|BotW Red|Calamity}} 100 years ago.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Riju then recalls her mother speaking of a fallen swordsman that was placed into a deep sleep by the [[Princess Zelda|Princess of Hyrule]] when the Calamity happened.<ref>{{Cite|Hmm... Buliara, a memory just jumped into my head—something my mother spoke of. When the Calamity happened, the princess of Hyrule placed a fallen swordsman into a deep sleep.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> She also recalls that the swordsman's name was Link, hesitantly wondering if the Link before her is that same swordsman.<ref>{{Cite|That swordsman, much like our new friend here, was named Link...though it always seemed more legend than fact.|Riju|BotW}}</ref>

If Link is not carrying the [[Master Sword|legendary sword]], Buliara will point out that Link is not carrying the sword from those same legends.<ref>{{Cite|But, Lady Riju!Do those same stories not also say that the Hylian Champion carried a {{Color|BotW Red|legendary sword}}? I see no such weapon in this person's care.|Buliara|BotW}}</ref> Riju agrees that he does not appear to be carrying the sword that seals the darkness,<ref>{{Cite|They do indeed... If I recall correctly, it was called the {{Color|BotW Red|sword that seals the darkness}}.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> stating that Princess Zelda hid it in a [[Lost Woods|forest]].<ref>{{Cite|The Princess of Hyrule supposedely hid it away in {{Color|BotW Blue|a forest somewhere}}.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> She then notices the [[Sheikah Slate|Sheikah device]] on Link's hip,<ref>{{Cite|What of the device on this one's hip? It appears to be a precious relic of the Sheikah.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> pointing out that the [[Sheikah]] would not give something so valuable to just anybody.<ref>{{Cite|I can't imagine they would give something so valuable to a simple drifter—can you?|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Buliara mentions that she does not recall hearing of a [[Hylian]] woman among the Champions before quickly realizing that Link is actually a man.<ref>{{Cite|...I don't remember ever hearing of a Hylian vai among the Champions. Wait a moment... You're a voe!|Buliara|BotW}}</ref> Riju states that it is a great crime for a man to enter Gerudo Town, but Riju dismisses this with the Sheikah Slate being enough proof for her that Link is a Champion.<ref>{{Cite|A voe within our walls is a great crime. But a voe who is a {{Color|BotW Blue|Champion}}...|Riju|BotW}}</ref> She tells Link that they would never mistreat a friend of Lady Urbosa and that they are allies if he is here to help subdue Naboris.<ref>{{Cite|Well, we'd never mistreat a friend of {{Color|BotW Blue|Lady Urbosa}}. And if you're here to help us with {{Color|BotW Blue|Naboris}}, then we are allies.|Riju|BotW}}</ref>

Riju informs Link that they have yet to find a way to appease Naboris.<ref>{{Cite|We have to do something to stop it, but we have yet to find any way to appease the {{Color|BotW Blue|Divine Beast}} on our own.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> She reasons that if Link truly is a Champion, then he may be able to enter Naboris and calm its anger.<ref>{{Cite|If you truly are a Champion, perhaps you will be able to enter {{Color|BotW Blue|Naboris}} and calm its anger|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Buliara urges Riju not to trust a stranger with such an important task,<ref>{{Cite|Lady Riju! I don't see how you can trust a complete stranger with something as important as this task.|Buliara|BotW}}</ref> suggesting that he prove himself worthy by recovering the stolen [[Thunder Helm]].<ref>{{Cite|Perhaps if this person were first to prove his worth by recovering your stolen Thunder Helm...|Buliara|BotW}}</ref> Riju agrees with this suggestion and proceeds to explain that the Thunder Helm is the only thing in [[Hyrule]] that can withstand the lightning from Naboris.<ref>{{Cite|Ah, yes... An interesting suggestion. You see, there is only one thing in all of Hyrule that can withstand the {{Color|BotW Blue|lightning}} from {{Color|BotW  Blue|Naboris}}. The {{Color|BotW Red|Thunder Helm}}, a family heirloom and relic of the Gerudo. But as Buliara says, it was stolen from us.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Buliara assures Lady Riju that recovering the stolen Thunder Helm should be an easy task for Link if he is truly a Champion.<ref>{{Cite|You needn't worry, Lady Riju. If he truly is a Champion, this should be an easy task for him.|Buliara|BotW}}</ref> Buliara tells Link that Captain [[Teake]] in the barracks nearby can tell him about the thieves who stole the Thunder Helm.<ref>{{Cite|Our soldiers can tell you all you need to know about the thieves who stole Lady Riju's heirloom. Head through this arch. It will lead you to the barracks. Then, seek our {{Color|BotW Blue|Captain Teake}}, and ask for a full report.|Buliara|BotW}}</ref> Before he leaves for the barracks, Riju says that Link's arrival must be a sign that Lady Urbosa is looking out for them.<ref>{{Cite|I take heart in having such a rare visitor as yourself. {{Color|BotW Blue|Lady Urbosa}} must be looking out for us.|Riju|BotW}}</ref>

Teake will inform Link that the thieves are known as the [[Yiga]] Clan and that their [[Yiga Clan Hideout|hideout]] is in [[Karusa Valley]].<ref>{{Cite|We know the Yiga Clan hideout is in {{Color|BotW Red|Karusa Valley}}, but we can't find a way to get in...|Teake|BotW}}</ref> To reach this secret base, Link must pass through Karusa Valley while being attacked by several [[Yiga Footsoldier]]s. Once inside, Link must sneak past a few rooms full of [[Yiga Blademaster]]s. Should Link get caught, he will be knocked out immediately and will have to start over from the beginning. Once Link successfully reaches the end of the Yiga Clan Hideout, he will face the leader of the Yiga Clan, [[Master Kohga]]. After defeating this [[Boss]], Link will open a [[Treasure Chest]] containing Riju's Thunder Helm.

Once Link returns to Riju with the Thunder Helm, she will tell him to meet her at the lookout post south of town to prepare for the attack on Naboris.<ref>{{Cite|I'll head out now. Let's meet up at the {{Color|BotW Red|lookout post}} {{Color|BotW Blue|south of town}}.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Before leaving, she mentions that the only way to get close to Naboris is by riding a [[Sand Seal]].<ref>{{Cite|There's only one way to get close to {{Color|BotW Blue|Naboris}}, and that's with the help of a {{Color|BotW Blue|sand seal}}.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> When Link arrives to the outpost, Riju will be there waiting for him, equipped with the Thunder Helm, and begins telling Link the plan to take down Naboris. She tells Link that Naboris draws energy from the ground, so they must damage its feet.<ref>{{Cite|Naboris draws energy from the ground to keep moving. If you damage the feet, I think you can stop it.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> She also instructs Link to stay close to her to avoid getting shocked by Naboris and gives him some [[Bomb Arrow]]s.<ref>{{Cite|You'll have to stay close if you don't want to be shocked.|Riju|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Here are some Gerudo {{Color|BotW Blue|bomb arrows}}. There aren't many, so be sure to put them to good use.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Before they begin, Riju holds her arms skyward and declares that she will calm Naboris.<ref>{{Cite|My name is Riju, descendant of the royal line and leader of the Gerudo people! With the power of the heirloom passed down in my family, I shall calm the {{Color|BotW Blue|Divine Beast Vah Naboris}}.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> She then gathers power by asking her ancestors to aid her and specifically asks Lady Urbosa for her protection.<ref>{{Cite|Ancestors of the Gerudo! Answer my call! Aid me in this task! Oh, wow! I can feel their power coursing through me! {{Color|BotW Blue|Lady Urbosa}}... Please grant Link and me your protection...|Riju|BotW}}</ref>

Link and Riju then ride Sand Seals into the sandstorm toward Naboris. Link must shoot the each of the Divine Beast's feet with Bomb Arrows in order to weaken it. Naboris will periodically charge its lightning attack, aiming to strike Link with lightning. Link must ride his Sand Seal close to Riju so that Riju's Thunder Helm absorbs the lightning and leaves Link unharmed. Once Link has shot all four of the mechanical beast's legs, it will temporarily power down and stop walking. During this time, the body of Naboris will lower enough for Link to reach its entrance.

Once inside the [[Divine Beast Vah Naboris (Dungeon)|Dungeon]], it will resume moving and Link will hear Urbosa speaking to him.{{Fact}} After downloading the Dungeon's [[Map]], finding all five terminals and activating the main control unit, Link must fight the Boss, [[Thunderblight Ganon]]. After defeating this malicious scourge, Urbosa's soul will appear and thank Link for his valor and skill.<ref>{{Cite|Thanks to your valor and skill, my soul is free and Naboris is ours once again. Which means that finally...we can complete what we started years ago.|Urbosa|BotW}}</ref> Urbosa rewards Link with her special ability, [[Urbosa's Fury]].<ref>{{Cite|Please accept this gift, which has come to be known as Urbosa's Fury|Urbosa|BotW}}</ref> Upon returning to Riju to deliver the news, she is relieved that Naboris is no longer a threat.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|BotW Blue|Naboris}} is no longer a threat to the town... I'm still worried about the larger threat to Hyrule, but at least my people won't be troubled by {{Color|BotW Blue|Naboris}} anymore.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> As thanks for Link's help, Riju offers Link priceless pieces of equipment that were once worn by Urbosa.<ref>{{Cite|I want to offer you these as thanks for your help. I trust you'll accept them. These pieces of equipment are priceless treasures of the Gerudo people. They were once worn by {{Color|BotW Blue|Lady Urbosa}}.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Before Riju is done speaking, she mentions that it is right for Link to have them because he and Urbosa were once friends and the Quest will be complete.<ref>{{Cite|Since you and {{Color|BotW Blue|Lady Urbosa}} were friends, it's only right that you have them.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Link will find two Treasure Chests behind Riju's throne. The one on the left contains the [[Scimitar of the Seven]] and the one on the right contains the [[Daybreaker]] [[Shield]]. Should the Scimitar of the Seven break, Link can bring it to Buliara to repair it in exchange for one [[Diamond]], five [[Flint]] and a [[Gerudo Scimitar]].<ref>{{Cite|To make a {{Color|BotW Red|Scimitar of the Seven}}, I'll need {{Color|BotW Blue|one diamond}}, {{Color|BotW Blue|five flint}}, and a {{Color|BotW Blue|Gerudo scimitar}}.|Buliara|BotW}}</ref>
