Divine Beast Vah Naboris: Difference between revisions

In order to stop the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, Link must enter [[Gerudo Town]] and seek counsel with [[Riju]], the Gerudo Chief, and offer to quell the Divine Beast. Interested by Link's offer, Riju informs Link that her precious heirloom, the [[Thunder Helm]], was stolen and tasks him with retrieving it from the [[Yiga Clan Hideout]].<ref>{{Cite|A voe within our walls is a great crime. But a voe who is a {{Color|BotW Blue|Champion}}... 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. You saw it on your way to our town. {{Color|BotW Blue|Divine Beast Vah Naboris}}, cloaked in a massive sandstorm, hurling lightning at any who dare approach. 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. If you truly are a Champion, perhaps you will be able to enter {{Color|BotW Blue|Naboris}} and calm its anger.|Riju|BotW}}<br>{{Cite|Lady Riju! I don't see how you can trust a complete stranger with something as important as this task. Perhaps if this person were first to prove his worth by recovering your stolen Thunder Helm...|Buliara|BotW}}<br>{{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}}<br>{{Cite|You needn't worry, Lady Riju. If he truly is a Champion, this should be an easy task for him. Our soldiers can tell you all you need to know about the thieves who stole Lady Riju's heirloom.|Buliara|BotW}}</ref> After successfully returning the Thunder Helm, Riju dons it and instructs Link to meet with her at the [[Lookout Post]] south of Gerudo Town.<ref>{{Cite|The threat {{Color|BotW Blue|Divine Beast Vah Naboris}} poses has only grown since we began searching for the heirloom. I believe that Gerudo Town itself may be in danger before too long... As chief, and as a Gerudo, I must find some way to stop that thing before it threatens my people. Will you help me? [Of course!] Heheh, who would have thought that, just before such a momentous battle...hearing a simple, confident pledge of support from you would be what puts me at ease? 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}}. The {{Color|BotW Red|lookout post}} isn't too far from town, but you should take a {{Color|BotW Blue|sand seal}} there. You can get some practice in that way. I'll be waiting for you with my favorite sand seal, Patricia.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Upon meeting with Riju at the Lookout Post, she will tell Link of her plan to the plan to take down Naboris. The first stage of her plan is to draw close to Naboris with [[Sand Seal]]s,<ref>{{Cite|What a sight. {{Color|BotW Red|Divine Beast Vah Naboris}} is pretty intimidating... If we want to get close enough to that thing, we'll need to use {{Color|BotW Blue|sand seals}}... Are you ready? [Of course!] Feeling confident? Good. Let's get going, then! First, we'll use the {{Color|BotW Blue|sand seals}} to get in really close to that thing. I'll take the lead.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> which are capable of quickly crossing vast distances of desert sand. The second portion of her plan is to use [[Bomb Arrow]]s to damage Naboris's feet, inhibiting its ability to draw power from the ground.<ref>{{Cite|I'm counting on you to {{Color|BotW Blue|shoot}} at its feet with {{Color|BotW Blue|bomb arrows}}. Naboris draws energy from the ground to keep moving. If you damage the feet, I think you can stop it. Those lightning strikes, though... Getting hit even once could prove fatal. The {{Color|BotW Blue|Thunder Helm}} can repel the lightning strikes, protecting me from harm. But it can also shield a limited area around me... You'll have to stay close if you don't want to be shocked. And listen... If you're too injured to keep fighting, promise me {{Color|BotW Red|you'll retreat here, to the lookout post}}. Don't do anything reckless under any circumstances.|Riju|BotW}}</ref> To this end, Riju gifts Link with a bundle of 20 Bomb Arrows.<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> If Link consents to the plan, Riju will guide Link out into the desert and perform a brief ritual, calling for help in their mission from the ancestors of the Gerudo.<ref>{{Cite|This is the last time I'll ask... Are you ready? [Of course!] [...] Could you give me a bit of room, just for a moment? 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}}. Ancestors of the Gerudo! Answer my call! Aid me in this task!|Riju|BotW}}</ref> Responding to her ritual, the Thunder Helm creates an electrified barrier which encompasses both Link and Riju. Offering one more plea to Urbosa, Riju begins her charge towards the Divine Beast.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, wow! I can feel their power coursing through me! Let's move! [...] {{Color|BotW Blue|Lady Urbosa}}... Please grant Link and me your protection...|Riju|BotW}}</ref>
