Reward Qukah Nata Shrine

"A Song of Storms" is a Shrine Quest in Breath of the Wild.[1]

Overview

At Calora Lake in West Necluda, Link can find Kass singing about Lightning.[2] He is impressed that Link was able to make it up so high in spite of the Thunderstorm,[3] though he recognizes that such a feat is feasible for a traveler like Link.[4] Even though it is Raining, Kass's feathers are able to repel the wetness, and his bandonean is designed to withstand moisture.[5] His livelihood collecting "Ancient Songs" has prepared him for such a scenario.[6]

On that topic, Kass reveals that he knows an "Ancient Song" pertaining to the area,[7] and he asks Link if he would like to hear it.[8] When Link agrees, Kass then sings it for him.[9] The song details a lost hero calling Lightning from the sky, at which point a Monk will respond from a Giant Mound.[10] Though Kass realizes that there is a puzzle within the lyrics, he thinks it could apply to many things.[11] He bids Link farewell,[12] which initiates the Shrine Quest.

To access the Ancient Shrine, Link must attract the Thunderstorm's Lightning to the Giant Mound with a metal Weapon. When it is struck, the Mound will shatter, revealing Qukah Nata Shrine.[13] Once Link activates the Shrine, the Shrine Quest is completed.

Trivia

  • This Shrine Quest is hinted at in Kass's Journal, which can be found in a hut on Washa's Bluff.[14] In it, Kass writes that has heard of the "Ancient Song" about the Giant Mound at Calora Lake, but since the area is prone to Thunderstorms, he needs to prepare before he investigates.[15]
  • The name of this Shrine Quest is a reference to the "Song of Storms," a song from Ocarina of Time.
