When {{Term|BotW|Link}} arrives at {{Term|BotW|Goron City}}, he will find {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} cursing {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania}} in frustration.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|Drat! That blasted {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}}!}}|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He explains that the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast|link|display=Divine Beast's}} rampage have worsened the eruptions from {{Term|BotW|Death Mountain|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|With {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} runnin' wild recently, Death Mountain's eruptions have gotten real bad.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> There is a legend that, 100 years ago, it used to protect the {{Plural|BotW|Goron}}, but {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} states that times have changed since then.<ref>{{Cite|Do ya see {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} stompin' around up there on the mountain?

In his anger, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} accidentally throws out his back,<ref name="Back">{{Cite|{{Big|Arrgh...}} Youch... Owwwowow...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> though he dismisses it when {{Term|BotW|Link}} asks if he is alright.<ref>{{Cite|[Are you OK?] Hmph, it's just some back pain...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref>
 
At this point in the conversation, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} realizes he does not know who {{Term|BotW|Link}} is.<ref>{{Cite|Wait. Who are you?|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} reveals that he is a traveler, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} is honored that he came so far to pay his respects to him.<ref>{{Cite|[I'm a traveler.] I see... So, then, you came all this way to pay your respects to me? I like you already, brother!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He then properly introduces himself to {{Term|BotW|Link}}.<ref name="Bludo"/> {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} was planning to drive away {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania|display=Vah Rudania}} again, but he is unable while his back hurts.<ref>{{Cite|I was plannin' to drive off {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} like I always do, but then this blasted pain in my back flared up outta nowhere...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He quietly wonders where {{Term|BotW|Yunobo|link}} went,<ref>{{Cite|{{Small|That blasted {{Color|BotW Red|Yunobo}}... When will he return?}}|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> explaining that he is a young {{Term|BotW|Goron}} who helps him with the task.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|BotW Red|Yunobo}} is a young Goron who helps me drive off {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}}.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> However, he has not returned after setting out to the {{Term|BotW|Abandoned North Mine|link}} to retrieve {{Term|BotW|Bludo}}'s painkillers.<ref>{{Cite|He went to grab some painkillers for my back from the {{Color|BotW Red|Abandoned North Mine}}, but he hasn't come back yet...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Believing that {{Term|BotW|Yunobo}} is slacking off,<ref>{{Cite|{{Small|Slacker...

If ya happen to see {{Color|BotW Red|Yunobo}}, will ya let him know I'm lookin' for him?|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> With this, the "{{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Main Quest|link}} will begin.


When Link arrives at Goron City, he meets Bludo there, who explains to him the Divine Beast Vah Rudania and how it has been terrorizing the Goron populace.<ref>{{Cite|With {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} runnin' wild recently, Death Mountain's eruptions have gotten real bad. Do ya see {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} stompin' around up there on the mountain? They say that 100 years ago, it actually used to protect our people from harm... but that was then, and this is now! Now all it does is mess up our mining operations! We're all suffering because it's stoppin' us from doin' business!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Their conversation is then interrupted when Bludo's back suddenly throws out.<ref>{{Cite|Hmph, it's just some back pain...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Bludo was planning to drive away Vah Rudania again, but is unable while his back hurts.<ref>{{Cite|I was plann' to drive off {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} like I always do, but then this blasted pain in my back flared up outta nowhere...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He says that Yunobo went to the [[Abandoned North Mine]] to retrieve painkillers. However, to Bludo's annoyance, Yunobo has yet to return.<ref>{{Cite|He went to grab some painkillers for my back from the {{Color|BotW Red|Abandoned North Mine}}, but he hasn't come back yet... <small>Slacker... I bet he's off somewhere wastin' time...</small>|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He asks Link to send Yunobo back if he finds him.
After {{Term|BotW|Link}} rescues {{Term|BotW|Yunobo}} and returns to {{Term|BotW|Goron City}}, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} reveals that {{Term|BotW|Yunobo}} told what happened.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|Ah! It's the tiny traveler!}} Yunobo told me all about how you helped him, brother.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Since {{Plural|BotW|Hylian|link}} need rewards, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} gives {{Term|BotW|Link}} three {{Plural|BotW|Fireproof Elixir|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Here's a reward for ya. Hylians like you need this sorta thing, right?|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Now that he has taken his painkillers, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} is ready to meet up with {{Term|BotW|Yunobo}} to face {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania}}.<ref>{{Cite|OK then. Well, I took my painkillers, so I guess it's time to meet up with Yunobo.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> While he does not wish to disrespect the legacy of {{Term|BotW|Daruk|link}}, he is eager to send the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast}} back again.<ref>{{Cite|I mean no disrespect to {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}}'s legacy, but if I'm not there to give that {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} a good walloping...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> At {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s confusion, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} is shocked to hear that he does not know who {{Term|BotW|Daruk}} is.<ref>{{Cite|[Daruk?] Are ya really tellin' me that ya don't know about {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}}? The Goron {{Color|BotW Blue|Champion}}?!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He points out the {{Term|BotW|Goron Stone Memorial|link}}, explaining that it depicts {{Term|BotW|Daruk}}.<ref>{{Cite|See that statue up there? That's {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}}!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Seeing the statue triggers the "{{Term|BotW|Daruk's Mettle|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Recovered Memory|link}}.


After Link returns from saving Yunobo, he meets with Bludo again at Goron City. Bludo is surprised to hear that Link does not know who the Goron [[Champion]] [[Daruk]] is, and points to a stone statue of him overlooking the City.<ref>{{Cite|Are ya really tellin' me that ya don't know about {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}}? The Goron {{Color|BotW Blue|Champion}}?! See that statue up there? That's {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}}!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> This invokes a [[Memory]] of Daruk in Link. Although Bludo is confused, he adds that Yunobo is a descendant of Daruk, and is thus able to use his ability.<ref>{{Cite|...What's gotten into you? Hylians sure are strange. Anyway, {{Color|BotW Blue|Yunobo}} is actually a descendant of the great {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}}. That's why that slacker can even use {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk's Protection}}!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Just as Bludo is about to leave to meet up with Yunobo, his back breaks again despite taking the painkillers.<ref>{{Cite|All right, that's enough outta me. Time to go drive off Rudania! Arrrgh... Youch... Owwwowow... <small>Oh, yeah. Just peachy. Dumb traveler. OF COURSE I'm not OK.</small>|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> With no other choice, he is forced to cancel and tells Link to inform Yunobo at the [[Bridge of Eldin]].<ref>{{Cite|Owww... Arghhh... I'm afraid I won't be goin' anywhere today. I hate to put you on the spot, but... can ya please go tell Yunobo that I'm gonna have to cancel for today? He should be at the {{Color|BotW Red|Eldin Bridge}}.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref>
Although {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} is confused by {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s reaction, he adds that Yunobo is a descendant of Daruk, and is thus able to use his ability.<ref>{{Cite|...What's gotten into you? Hylians sure are strange. Anyway, {{Color|BotW Blue|Yunobo}} is actually a descendant of the great {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}}. That's why that slacker can even use {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk's Protection}}!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} reveals that {{Term|BotW|Yunobo}} uses it to stay safe while they fire him at {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania}}, as it is the only way to scare it off.<ref>{{Cite|He uses it to protect himself when we fire him at {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}}. That's the only way we can chase that blasted beast away. We have no choice because normal cannonballs are no good against him.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Just as {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} is about to leave to meet up with {{Term|BotW|Yunobo}},<ref>{{Cite|All right, that's enough outta me. Time to go drive off Rudania!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> his back flares up again.<ref name="Back"/> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} asks if he is alright, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} grumpily replies that he is not.<ref>{{Cite|[Are you OK?] {{Small|Oh, yeah. Just peachy. Dumb traveler. OF COURSE I'm not OK.}}|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> With no other choice, he is forced to cancel his plans.<ref>{{Cite|Owww... Arghhh... I'm afraid I won't be goin' anywhere today.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} to find {{Term|BotW|Yunobo}} at the {{Term|BotW|Bridge of Eldin|link}} and inform him of the news.<ref>{{Cite|I hate to put you on the spot, but... can ya please go tell Yunobo that I'm gonna have to cancel for today? He should be at the {{Color|BotW Red|Eldin Bridge}}.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref>


Later, after Link has returned control of Vah Rudania to Daruk's spirit, he meets with Yunobo at Goron City who tells him that Bludo wants to see him, and should not be kept waiting.<ref>{{Cite|Oh! That's right! I talked to {{Color|BotW Blue|Boss}} about you, and he said to bring you to him! An order from {{Color|BotW Blue|Boss}} can't be refused. Move it, goro!|Yunobo|BotW}}</ref> Bludo thanks Link for all he has done, but also teases him that he should have let him fight Vah Rudania now that his back is healed.<ref>{{Cite|Hm? Hey! It's you! Yunobo told me everything. You really are somethin' else, brother. Ya know that? I can't believe you conquered {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}}... Color me impressed. But good grief...did ya have to do it when my back pain went away? I was all ready and rarin' to go at {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} myself! Now you've gone and made it look like I was just fibbin' about my back pain this whole time! Imagine that! ME! GWA HA HA HA!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Bludo then entrusts Link with the [[Boulder Breaker]], a sword that Daruk once used, which he keeps in a [[Treasure Chest]] inside his house.<ref>{{Cite|...Oh, right! I've still gotta thank you, brother! There's some {{Color|BotW Blue|treasure}} in my house. Grab it. Keep it. It's yours. It's a sharp blade that Daruk himself once wielded. I'm sure you'll be able to make good use out of it!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> If Link does not already have the [[Master Sword]], Bludo will also add that Link should go find it.<ref>{{Cite|However... Well, as a {{Color|BotW Blue|Hylian}}, you probably already know this, but... Apparently, 100 years ago, the {{Color|BotW Blue|Hylian Champion}} had a legendary {{Color|BotW Red|blade}}—{{Color|BotW Red|the sword that seals the darkness}}. They say the {{Color|BotW Red|sword}} sleeps in a {{Color|BotW Red|forest}} somewhere... Waiting... I bet you'd like to find it, eh? You should go lookin'!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref>
Ater {{Term|BotW|Link}} has freed {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania}}, he meets with {{Term|BotW|Yunobo}} in {{Term|BotW|Goron City}}, who tells him that Bludo wants to see him and should not be kept waiting.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|Oh! That's right!}} I talked to {{Color|BotW Blue|Boss}} about you, and he said to bring you to him! An order from {{Color|BotW Blue|Boss}} can't be refused. Move it, goro!|Yunobo|BotW}}</ref> At the {{Term|BotW|Boss's House}}, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} thanks {{Term|BotW|Link}} for all he has done and admits that he is impressed.<ref>{{Cite|Hm? Hey! It's you! Yunobo told me everything. You really are somethin' else, brother. Ya know that? I can't believe you conquered {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}}... Color me impressed.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> However, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} is teases {{Term|BotW|Link}} about the fact that he did so just when his back pain went away,<ref>{{Cite|But good grief...did ya have to do it when my back pain went away? I was all ready and rarin' to go at {{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} myself!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> as now it looks like he was faking it to avoid the battle.<ref>{{Cite|Now you've gone and made it look like I was just fibbin' about my back pain this whole time! Imagine that! ME! {{Big|GWA HA HA HA!}}|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He is also relieved that the experience has helped {{Term|BotW|Yunobo}} mature, crediting {{Term|BotW|Link}} with the achievement.<ref>{{Cite|Oh! And I'm also happy to see Yunobo finally got his act together. I know that's your doing, as well.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Finally, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} points out {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania}} on top of {{Term|BotW|Death Mountain}},<ref>{{Cite|But enough back patting and other such nonsense. Take a look at this!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> which has now returned to its peaceful self.<ref>{{Cite|The {{Color|BotW Blue|Divine Beast Vah Rudania}} has calmed down and returned to his peaceful ways.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Now, the {{Term|BotW|Goron Group Mining Company}} will be able to return to mining near the volcano.<ref>{{Cite|Now we can get back to diggin' for {{Color|BotW Blue|ore}} around {{Color|BotW Blue|Death Mountain}}.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref>
 
Suddenly, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} remembers that he still needs to reward {{Term|BotW|Link}}.<ref>{{Cite|...Oh, right! I've still gotta thank you, brother!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He allows {{Term|BotW|Link}} to keep the contents of the {{Term|BotW|Treasure Chest|link}} in his {{Term|BotW|Boss's House|display=House}},<ref>{{Cite|There's some {{Color|BotW Blue|treasure}} in my house. Grab it. Keep it. It's yours.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> which he claims is a blade once used by {{Term|BotW|Daruk}}.<ref>{{Cite|It's a sharp blade that Daruk himself once wielded. I'm sure you'll be able to make good use out of it!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Inside the {{Term|BotW|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} will find the {{Term|BotW|Boulder Breaker|link}}. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} does not already have the {{Term|BotW|Master Sword|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} will recount the legend that states it is sleeping in a forest.<ref>{{Cite|However... Well, as a {{Color|BotW Blue|Hylian}}, you probably already know this, but... Apparently, 100 years ago, the {{Color|BotW Blue|Hylian Champion}} had a legendary {{Color|BotW Red|blade}}—{{Color|BotW Red|the sword that seals the darkness}}. They say the {{Color|BotW Red|sword}} sleeps in a {{Color|BotW Red|forest}} somewhere... Waiting...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He suggests that {{Term|BotW|Link}} try to search for the {{Term|BotW|Master Sword|display=Sword}}.<ref>{{Cite|I bet you'd like to find it, eh? You should go lookin'!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref>
 
When {{Term|BotW|Link}} speaks to {{Term|BotW|Bludo}}, he will remark that it is scorching out.<ref>{{Cite|It's another scorcher today.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Link}} will be able to ask him about the {{Term|BotW|Master Sword}}, {{Term|BotW|Boulder Breaker}}, or {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania}}. {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} explains that the {{Term|BotW|Master Sword}}, known as the {{Term|BotW|Sword that Seals the Darkness}}, once belonged to the {{Term|BotW|Hylian}} {{Term|BotW|Champions}}.<ref>{{Cite|[Legendary sword?] They say a long time ago the {{Color|BotW Blue|Hylian Champion}} had a legendary sword—{{Color|BotW Red|the sword that seals the darkness}}.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> That {{Term|BotW|Master Sword|display=Sword}} was supposedly stronger than the {{Term|BotW|Boulder Breaker}}.<ref>{{Cite|It was apparently much stronger than even the {{Color|BotW Blue|Boulder Breaker}}!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} has the {{Term|BotW|Master Sword}}, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} will notice the sharp blade he carries and wonders where he got it.<ref>{{Cite|But hey, you've got a pretty sharp blade yourself... I wonder where ya got it!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref>
 
If {{Term|BotW|Link}} asks about the {{Term|BotW|Boulder Breaker}}, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} explains that he should seek out {{Term|BotW|Rohan|link}} if he ever loses it.<ref>{{Cite|If you ever lose the {{Color|BotW Blue|Boulder Breaker}}, just go talk to Rohan the blacksmith. He'll be happy to help ya out.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He repeats that it once belonged to {{Term|BotW|Daruk}},<ref>{{Cite|The {{Color|BotW Blue|Boulder Breaker}} once belonged to Yunobo's ancestor... In other words, it was Daruk's.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> sharing a rumor that {{Term|BotW|Daruk}} used to fan himself with it.<ref>{{Cite|There's even a rumor that Daruk...used it to fan himself sometimes.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> Finally, if {{Term|BotW|Link}} asks about {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Rudania}}'s location, {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} tells him it is still where he left it.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|BotW Blue|Rudania}} is right where ya left him!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He is grateful that {{Term|BotW|Link}} defeated the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast}}, as that meant he did not have to do it himself.<ref>{{Cite|You saved me the trouble of defeatin' him myself, heh! Thanks, brother.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref>
 
If {{TCB}} [[DLC]] Pack is downloaded, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can ask {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} about {{Term|BotW|Daruk}} during the "{{Term|BotW|EX Champion Daruk's Song|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Main Quest}}.<ref>{{Cite|Ya wanna know about {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}}? Huh.

I told him about all kinds of things. For example...|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> such as the power of the {{Term|BotW|Boulder Breaker}}.<ref>{{Cite|About the {{Color|BotW Blue|Boulder Breaker}}, {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}}'s weapon of choice. I told him how heavy it is and how its power is unmatched.|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> He describes how {{Term|BotW|Daruk}} carved out the valley at {{Term|BotW|Gortram Cliff|link}} in a single using the {{Term|BotW|Boulder Breaker}},<ref>{{Cite|You know the valley at {{Color|BotW Blue|Gortram Cliff}}, southwest of {{Color|BotW Blue|Gorko Tunnel}}? It was made by {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}} with his {{Color|BotW Blue|Boulder Breaker}} in one night!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> all so that the {{Plural|BotW|Goron}} could reach their {{Term|BotW|Rock Roast|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Why?! Why do ya think? To make it easier for us Gorons to get all that tasty rock roast!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref> In addition, he told the bard {{Term|Series|Champion Daruk's Song|link|display=another story}} that he seemed to like, but {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} himself does not think it represents {{Term|BotW|Daruk}} well.<ref>{{Cite|That Rito fella seemed to like the other story I told him better, though. ...I'm not a big fan of that one. The heroic and exciting stories of {{Color|BotW Blue|Daruk}} capture him much better!|Bludo|BotW}}</ref>
 
{{Term|BotW|Link}} can also ask {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} where {{Term|BotW|Yunobo}} is. {{Term|BotW|Bludo}} responds that, as he usually does, he is staring into the distance on top of the entrance gate to {{Term|BotW|Goron City}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|BotW Blue|Yunobo}}?

Biography

Breath of the Wild

Bludo is the Boss of the Gorons in the Eldin Region and the founder of the Goron Group Mining Company.[6][7] He lives in Goron City in the Boss's House. Bludo has a number of Cannons around Eldin that only he is able to operate.[8][9] Whenever the Divine Beast Vah Rudania starts terrorizing the Gorons, he and his partner, Yunobo, leave to drive it away. Working in tandem, Bludo operates the Cannons while Yunobo acts as the cannonball using Daruk's Protection.[10] Despite their many attempts, though, Vah Rudania always returns.[11]

When Link arrives at Goron City, he will find Bludo cursing Divine Beast Vah Rudania in frustration.[12] He explains that the Divine Beast's rampage have worsened the eruptions from Death Mountain.[13] There is a legend that, 100 years ago, it used to protect the Gorons, but Bludo states that times have changed since then.[14] Rudania has disrupted the Goron Group Mining Company's operations, leading to suffering for all of the Gorons. In his anger, Bludo accidentally throws out his back,[15] though he dismisses it when Link asks if he is alright.[16]

At this point in the conversation, Bludo realizes he does not know who Link is.[17] When Link reveals that he is a traveler, Bludo is honored that he came so far to pay his respects to him.[18] He then properly introduces himself to Link.[6] Bludo was planning to drive away Vah Rudania again, but he is unable while his back hurts.[19] He quietly wonders where Yunobo went,[20] explaining that he is a young Goron who helps him with the task.[21] However, he has not returned after setting out to the Abandoned North Mine to retrieve Bludo's painkillers.[22] Believing that Yunobo is slacking off,[23] Bludo asks Link to tell Yunobo to return if he sees him.[24] With this, the "Divine Beast Vah Rudania" Main Quest will begin.

After Link rescues Yunobo and returns to Goron City, Bludo reveals that Yunobo told what happened.[25] Since Hylians need rewards, Bludo gives Link three Fireproof Elixirs.[26] Now that he has taken his painkillers, Bludo is ready to meet up with Yunobo to face Divine Beast Vah Rudania.[27] While he does not wish to disrespect the legacy of Daruk, he is eager to send the Divine Beast back again.[28] At Link's confusion, Bludo is shocked to hear that he does not know who Daruk is.[29] He points out the Goron Stone Memorial, explaining that it depicts Daruk.[30] Seeing the statue triggers the "Daruk's Mettle" Recovered Memory.

Although Bludo is confused by Link's reaction, he adds that Yunobo is a descendant of Daruk, and is thus able to use his ability.[31] Bludo reveals that Yunobo uses it to stay safe while they fire him at Divine Beast Vah Rudania, as it is the only way to scare it off.[32] Just as Bludo is about to leave to meet up with Yunobo,[33] his back flares up again.[15] When Link asks if he is alright, Bludo grumpily replies that he is not.[34] With no other choice, he is forced to cancel his plans.[35] He asks Link to find Yunobo at the Bridge of Eldin and inform him of the news.[36]

Ater Link has freed Divine Beast Vah Rudania, he meets with Yunobo in Goron City, who tells him that Bludo wants to see him and should not be kept waiting.[37] At the Boss's House, Bludo thanks Link for all he has done and admits that he is impressed.[38] However, Bludo is teases Link about the fact that he did so just when his back pain went away,[39] as now it looks like he was faking it to avoid the battle.[40] He is also relieved that the experience has helped Yunobo mature, crediting Link with the achievement.[41] Finally, Bludo points out Divine Beast Vah Rudania on top of Death Mountain,[42] which has now returned to its peaceful self.[43] Now, the Goron Group Mining Company will be able to return to mining near the volcano.[44]

Suddenly, Bludo remembers that he still needs to reward Link.[45] He allows Link to keep the contents of the Treasure Chest in his House,[46] which he claims is a blade once used by Daruk.[47] Inside the Chest, Link will find the Boulder Breaker. If Link does not already have the Master Sword, Bludo will recount the legend that states it is sleeping in a forest.[48] He suggests that Link try to search for the Sword.[49]

When Link speaks to Bludo, he will remark that it is scorching out.[50] Link will be able to ask him about the Master Sword, Boulder Breaker, or Divine Beast Vah Rudania. Bludo explains that the Master Sword, known as the Sword that Seals the Darkness, once belonged to the Hylian Champion.[51] That Sword was supposedly stronger than the Boulder Breaker.[52] If Link has the Master Sword, Bludo will notice the sharp blade he carries and wonders where he got it.[53]

If Link asks about the Boulder Breaker, Bludo explains that he should seek out Rohan if he ever loses it.[54] He repeats that it once belonged to Daruk,[55] sharing a rumor that Daruk used to fan himself with it.[56] Finally, if Link asks about Divine Beast Vah Rudania's location, Bludo tells him it is still where he left it.[57] He is grateful that Link defeated the Divine Beast, as that meant he did not have to do it himself.[58]

If The Champions' Ballad DLC Pack is downloaded, Link can ask Bludo about Daruk during the "EX Champion Daruk's Song" Main Quest.[59] Not too long ago, he told a Rito bard many things about Daruk,[60] such as the power of the Boulder Breaker.[61] He describes how Daruk carved out the valley at Gortram Cliff in a single using the Boulder Breaker,[62] all so that the Gorons could reach their Rock Roast.[63] In addition, he told the bard another story that he seemed to like, but Bludo himself does not think it represents Daruk well.[64]

Link can also ask Bludo where Yunobo is. Bludo responds that, as he usually does, he is staring into the distance on top of the entrance gate to Goron City.[65] At night, he reasons that Yunobo has likely gone to sleep in his Bed.[66] He notes that Yunobo is acting more confident than he used to,[67] and he wonders if he is starting to realize what it means to be descended from Daruk.[68]

He threatens Slergo and Offrak as well as telling Bludo he has no power, as YunoboCo is in charge. When Link explains to Yunobo that Princess Zelda has gone missing, Slergo and Offrak briefly spectulate whether she is the "lady with the blonde hair" after Bludo states it is hard to miss Zelda with her pretty blonde locks before Yunobo tells them to "shut their yap is they know what's good for them."
