Link and Teba will team up.  Teba will attract the fire from the lasers allowing you to glide in and take them out with bomb arrows. Once you take out all 4, the Divine Beast Vah Medoh will lower its protective field and allow entrance.
===Manipulation===
Once Link has obtained a map of Vah Medoh, he has the ability to manipulate it in order to progress and solve various puzzles. In this dungeon, Link can either tilt the abdomen up or down around 30° either way.


===Terminals===
{{stub|section}}


'''Guidance Stone'''
===Treasure Chests===
'''Treasure Chest #1'''
On the tail of [[Vah Medoh]], directly behind Link when you first start the dungeon, is a chest that's surrounded by [[Malice]]. The eye that removes the malice is on the right side of the last hump in the tail, and can be easily targeted from the right. Open the chest for a [[Sapphire]].


Before going inside, turn around and head forward taking out the malice on the right to reveal a chest.  Open it for a [[Sapphire]].
'''Treasure Chest #2'''
Inside [[Vah Medoh]], center area, directly in front and above the entrance to the left wing, is an elevated platform with a climbable wall attached to the bottom of it. Use the upwards fan that is back by the tail entrance to float up to just before the ceiling, and then paraglide to the wall. Climb the wall to find the chest, which contains an [[Ancient Core]].  


Turn around and head inside taking out the malice on the right.
'''Treasure Chest #3'''
Inside [[Vah Medoh]], center area, there's a ledge that sits below the path to the Map [[Guidance Stone]], but above the bottom floor of the center area. On the left side, in the corner, is a chest with Malice blocking it from the sides. Float or jump down from the platform with Treasure Chest #2 to get to the chest, which contains [[Bomb Arrow]] x5


Continue forward using the updraft to glide to the center platform.  Make your way around taking out the [[Guardian Scout I]] or [[Guardian Scout II]] (Master Mode).  
'''Treasure Chest #4'''
Inside [[Vah Medoh]], on the very bottom floor of the center area, is a chest that's walled in by [[Malice]]. The eye to remove it is inside the walls, on top of the chest itself. Shoot an arrow through the openings in the wall to take out the eye. The chest contains an [[Ancient Shaft]].


Obtain the map of the Divine Beast Vah Medoh by activating the '''Guidance Stone'''.
'''Treasure Chest #5'''
Inside [[Vah Medoh]], right wing area, at the far end of the wing is a chest that is trapped by [[Malice]] up on the ceiling, with an eye and a maw next to it. Shoot the eye to free the chest, which contains [[Ice Arrow]] x10.


'''Treasure Chest #6'''
Inside [[Vah Medoh]], right wing area, just to the right of the wing entrance is a high ledge with a chest on it. Head to the far end of the wing, and then use the Divine Beast Controls to elevate the right wing. Jump and paraglide back towards the center area, and you should have enough height to land on the ledge. If you need more height, climb the slanted wall with windows in it and try your jump. The chest contains a [[Hylia Series]] bow, i.e. [[Royal Bow]].


'''Terminal 1/5'''
'''Treasure Chest #7'''
Inside [[Vah Medoh]], left wing area, right above the door to the far section of the wing is a platform with a chest. Using the Divine Beast Controls, elevate the right wing, which will cause the left wing to dip down. If you are at the wing entrance platform, you can paraglide right to the platform. If you are already in the room, climb the ramp to the left and jump/paraglide to the platform. The chest contains a [[Hylia Series]] Two-Handed Weapon, i.e. [[Royal Claymore]].


Turn around and head back to the platorm. Just as you step onto it, look down to the right and you will see a chest.  Glide over to it and open for [[Bomb Arrow x5]].
'''Treasure Chest #8'''
On the tip of [[Vah Medoh]]'s nose is a small platform with a chest. You can use one of the front fans to the left/right of Vah Medoh's head to paraglide to the side of his head, and then carefully climb and jump your way to the platform. Conversely, you can use the Divine Beast Controls to tilt one of the wings up, and then use the fans on that elevated wing to paraglide right to the platform. The chest contains a [[Giant Ancient Core]].


Turn around and head to the edge of the ledge. Look down to the left and you will see another chest cover by the malice.  Glide down, take out the malice and open the chest for an [[Ancient Shaft]]. 
===Windblight Ganon===
{{Main|Windblight Ganon}}
[[File:Windblight-ganon-2.jpg|200px|left]]


Turn around and head to the updraft.  Use it to glide up to the next level looking to the left to see a ladder that leads to a ledge with a chest.  Glide over to it, climb up, take out the malice on the ceiling and open the chest for an [[Ancient Core]].
Windblight Ganon initially fires laser beams or summons a tornado, which must be dodged. After shooting the laser beams, or if stunned with arrows, it is vulnerable to attacks at ground level from a melee weapon.


You will see a doorway just down from the ledge. Head through, down the ramp to see a small alcove to the left blocked by malice. Take out the malice revealing Terminal 1.
In the second phase, he summons drones and bounces the lasers off these, as well as summoning a pair of tornadoes at a time. Again, these should be dodged. While the drones can be destroyed with arrows, they respawn after a time. Link can shoot Windblight in the eye with arrows, using the updrafts to enter "bullet time" to make it easier. Whenever it is on the ground, Link can also use melee attacks once more.


Head back to the top of the ramp. Use the map screen and you will see you can control the position of the Divine Beast Vah Medoh.  Set it to the top position to angle the wing up shifting the room.  You can now glide over to the alcove on the left and activate '''Terminal 1'''.
Finally, once at 10% health, Windblight Ganon might resort to using a fully-charged Guardian laser. If it does do this, Link can dodge it by jumping to the side, running away, or he can attempt a Perfect Guard to deflect the beam, which will create an opening for attack.


Once Windblight Ganon is defeated, Link receives a [[Heart Container]].  Activate the Main Control Unit to free Revali's spirit and receive [[Revali's Gale]].
{{clear|left}}


'''Terminal 2/5'''
==Completion==
Upon freeing Vah Medoh of [[Calamity Ganon]]'s influence, it will fly up to the top of a natural pillar in the center of Rito Village, and it spreads its wings in order to prepare an attack on Hyrule Castle. Having completed this dungeon means in the fight against Calamity Ganon, he will lose one-eighth of his health.


Turn to face the center of the room.  Directly across you will see another set of ramps.  Glide your way over and head to the top.  Turn back around and you will see a chest across the room on a ledge. Glide over and open the chest for, depending on far you are in the quest, a [[Knight's Claymore]] or [[Royal Claymore]].
==Illusory Realm==
{{see also|Illusory Realm}}
After activating the main control unit, Link cannot reenter Vah Nedoh. However, as part of the [[EX Champion Revali's Song]] [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|DLC]] quest, he can present three [[Medoh's Emblem]]s and be drawn into an "Illusory Realm" of memories, where he can re-experience the fight with Windblight Ganon with limited equipment.


Glide down and you will see a gated doorway and windows looking into the next room.  There will be a switch crystal in the far right corner.  At the bottom of the right window, you will see a bomb shoot.  Drop a remote bomb and you will see it roll to the rock structure; detonate and clear it.  Drop another remote bomb and let it roll to the opposite side of the room.  Hit the shock crystal to open the window behind you in this room and in the next room.  The wind will push the bomb to the left side.  If you look close enough there is a cracked rock wall.  Detonate and clear it revealing a giant metal ball.

==Enemies==
Use the map and set to the bottom position to angle the wing down.  You will see the giant metal ball roll out.  Head towards the window on the left side of the gated door, use Magnesis to grab the giant metal ball, move it to the right side of the room and set it down in the track.  Use the map and set to the top position to angle the wing up.  The ball roll to the opposite side of the room activating the release and the gate will open.  Head in, up the ramp to the left and activate '''Terminal 2'''.

Phase I: Windblight Ganon uses a hurricane attack or shoots beams from his wind cannon.  He will warp around as well staying mostly in the air, but at times will be close to the ground.  His attacks will be easy to dodge, just run around them.  Focus on attacking his eye with arrows.  Bomb arrows will work better than regular arrows as it will inflict more damage.  When you hit his eye enough he will be stunned and fall.  You can also just shoot him anywhere with an ancient arrow inflicting them most damage and he will fall right away.  Run up to him and attack with melee weapons, arrows, elemental arrows or ancient arrows.  When he warps close to the ground take advantage for the easy attack.  Use the updrafts to get higher and closer when he is in the air.
 
Phase II: As Windblight Ganon gets towards half health he will take a new approach. 
He will begin to use 4 reflector missiles at you which when fired from his cannon turn into 8.  As he revs up his cannon, you can shoot it with a bomb arrow defuse it.  Continue your attack method as previous.  Windblight Ganon will use any of his attacks with no specific pattern at this point. 
 
Once you defeat Windblight Ganon, you will receive a [[Heart Container]].  Activate the '''Main Control Unit''' and receive [[Revali's Gale]].
