How do I start the "The Thunder Helm" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
To start "The Thunder Helm" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to visit Gerudo Town, which is located in the Gerudo Desert in the southwestern part of Hyrule. This quest becomes available after you have completed the main quest "Divine Beast Vah Naboris," which involves freeing the Divine Beast from Calamity Ganon's control. Once you have completed this main quest, you can begin "The Thunder Helm" side quest by speaking to Riju, the leader of the Gerudo.
Riju is found in the throne room of Gerudo Town. When you talk to her, she will mention that the Thunder Helm, a powerful artifact that protects the wearer from lightning, is a treasured item of the Gerudo people. However, she will also explain that the helm is currently being used to protect the town from the constant lightning storms caused by the Divine Beast. Riju will then ask you to help the Gerudo people by completing a series of tasks to prove your worthiness to borrow the Thunder Helm.
The quest involves completing four specific side quests for the Gerudo townsfolk. These quests are designed to test your abilities and show that you are a true ally to the Gerudo. The four quests you need to complete are "The Search for Barta," "Medicinal Molduga," "The Secret Club's Secret," and "The Eighth Heroine."
To start "The Search for Barta," you need to speak to Dalia, who is found near the entrance of Gerudo Town. She will tell you that her friend Barta has gone missing in the desert. You will need to find Barta, who is located in the Kara Kara Bazaar. Once you find her, she will ask you to bring her a hydromelon. You can find hydromelons growing in the Gerudo Desert or purchase them from the Kara Kara Bazaar. After giving her the hydromelon, she will return to Gerudo Town, and the quest will be complete.
For "Medicinal Molduga," you need to speak to Malena, who is found in the Gerudo Town infirmary. She will ask you to bring her a Molduga Fin, which can be obtained by defeating a Molduga. Moldugas are large, sand-dwelling creatures found in the Gerudo Desert. To defeat a Molduga, you can use bombs to lure it out of the sand and then attack it with powerful weapons. Once you have the Molduga Fin, return to Malena to complete the quest.
"The Secret Club's Secret" requires you to gain access to the Gerudo Secret Club. To do this, you need to find the password, which is "GSCÔÖª." You can learn the password by eavesdropping on a group of Gerudo women near the club's entrance. Once you have the password, enter the club and speak to the owner, who will give you a special piece of armor. This completes the quest.
Finally, for "The Eighth Heroine," you need to speak to Bozai, who is found near the entrance of Gerudo Town. He will tell you about the legend of the Eighth Heroine and ask you to find the statue of the Eighth Heroine in the Gerudo Highlands. The statue is located in the northern part of the Gerudo Highlands, near the Gerudo Summit. Once you find the statue, return to Bozai to complete the quest.
After completing all four quests, return to Riju in the throne room. She will be impressed by your efforts and will allow you to borrow the Thunder Helm. The Thunder Helm provides immunity to lightning, making it a valuable item for exploring areas with frequent thunderstorms.
Some important tips and considerations for this quest include making sure you have enough resources, such as weapons and healing items, before attempting to defeat a Molduga. Additionally, it is helpful to have a good understanding of the Gerudo Desert's layout to easily find Barta and the Eighth Heroine statue. Common mistakes to avoid include not having the necessary items, such as hydromelons or the Molduga Fin, before starting the quests. Advanced techniques, such as using stealth to avoid enemies or using the environment to your advantage, can also be helpful.
In summary, "The Thunder Helm" side quest requires you to complete four specific tasks for the Gerudo people. By following the steps outlined above and keeping these tips in mind, you can successfully complete the quest and obtain the powerful Thunder Helm.
