After Link has completed [[Reach Zora's Domain]] and obtained at least twenty [[Shock Arrow]]s, he meets [[Sidon|Prince Sidon]] at [[East Reservoir Lake]]. From there, Sidon will swim around the lake with Link on his back, while the [[Malice]]-controlled Vah Ruta will defend itself with giant ice cubes and spiked ice balls shot from cannons. Use [[Cryonis]] to destroy these.

Eventually, Sidon will swim in close, allowing Link to use the [[Zora Armor (Breath of the Wild)|Zora Armor]] to swim up a torrent of water and hit a glowing orb with a [[Shock Arrow]]. Once all four orbs have been hit, the Divine Beast is subdued, and Sidon brings Link to the entrance.

#Turn around and head to the door on the right which leads outside.  Follow the ramp up and enter the door on the right. Besides a [[Guardian Scout II]], there is a water spout moving a smaller water wheel, and an unmoving larger water wheel. A terminal is inside the smaller wheel, and can be accessed by freezing the spout using [[Cryonis]] with proper timing.

#Using the map to drop water onto the large water wheel, ride it up and go past the Guardian Scout to activate the switch. This creates a waterfall to use as a shortcut. From the switch, paraglide to a walkway leading to the centre of the big wheel, and use [[Stasis]] to hold the [[Ancient Orb]] in the [[Shrine Pedestal]] as it rotates, such that the gate stays open and allows you to access the terminal right-side-up.

#Swim up the waterfall, grab the chest if desired, then go through the corridor behind where the Guardian Scout was. The terminal is on the very tip of the trunk. While this area can only be reached when the trunk is lowered, it can only be activated with the trunk in a high position, so it must be raised once Link reaches the waterspout.
#In the centre of Ruta's back, there is a small hole. Jump through it, and once on the surface, destroy the eyeball before the mouth can spit out [[Cursed Bokoblin]]s.  Look down through the gap in the floor to see the terminal surrounded by flames.  In front of Link is a wall with gears and a handle.  Use Magnesis to turn the handle to open the top of Ruta's head, and use the map to move Ruta's trunk to send water through the openings and extinguish the flame, allowing the final terminal to be activated.


 
With all the terminals activated, Link can return to the lowest level and enter the door opposite the map room. This is where the main control unit lies, and Waterblight Ganon.
 
 
#Glide back down to the ledge between the two water wheels as before, this time face the larger water wheel.  Jump or walk off the paddle to the ledge ahead and take out the [[Guardian Scout I]] or [[Guardian Scout II]] (Master Mode). Just to the left you will see a pressure switch.  Stand on it to activate the waterfall to the area below.  Glide down landing in the water at the bottom of the waterfall.  Swim up the waterfall and glide over to the ledge ahead with the chest.  Open it for, depending on how far you are in the quest, a [[Knight's Halberd]] or [[Royal Halberd]]. Glide back down to the ledge just below and exit down the hallway.  You should see the trunk of the Divine Beast Vah Ruta in front of you.  Use the map and set the trunk to position 1.  As the trunk lowers, you will see a chest toward the end.  Jump out and glide over to it taking out the malice.  Open it for an [[Ancient Shaft]]. Continue to scale up the trunk by repeatedly jumping and moving back and forth.  Alternately if you are having difficulty, use the map and set the trunk to position 7.  Follow the trunk back down to the doorway, use the map to set the trunk back to position 1 and glide over to the end of the trunk.  Use the map and set the trunk to position 7.  As the trunk raises, continue forward and look over the edge where you will see the terminal.  Wait for the trunk to move up far enough to safely land on the ledge below/behind the terminal.  When the trunk stops moving, activate Terminal 4.
 
#Turn around and enjoy the view for a second.  As you are looking around you will see a chest on the left ledge in the distance covered by malice, but the eye is on the right ledge in the distance.  There are a couple of ways to do this.  You can jump off the trunk, glide along the middle, when you are close enough face right, take an mid air bow shot at the eye, pull back out the glider and land on the left platform.  Alternately jump off the trunk, glide over landing on the left platform and shoot an arrow across at the eye. Regardless, take out the malice.    Open the chest for [[Ice Arrow x10]]. Turn around and go over to the edge of the ledge.  If you are positioned just right look at the top of the head to the right and you will see an opening.  Glide over to it and jump in.  You will land on a ledge.  Take out the malice on the ceiling. Look down to see the terminal surrounded by flames.  In front of you is a wall with gears and a handle.  Use Magnesis to turn the handle in front of you to open the top of the head.  Use the map and set the trunk to position 6. This will lower the trunk, water will flow in and extinguish the flames.  Jump down and activate Terminal 5
 
Turn around and jump off the edge, either the left or right, and glide down to the lowest level.  Continue forward through the opening and down the ramp.  Head over and activate the Main Control Unit to begin the fight with [[Waterblight Ganon]].

Once you defeat Waterblight Ganon, you will receive a [[Heart Container]].  Activate the Main Control Unit to free Mipha's spirit and receive [[Mipha's Grace]].

==Illusory Realm==
{{see also|Illusory Realm}}
After activating the main control unit, Link cannot reenter Vah Ruta. However, as part of the [[EX Champion Mipha's Song]] [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|DLC]] quest, he can present three [[Ruta's Emblem]]s and be drawn into an "Illusory Realm" of memories, where he can re-experience the fight with Waterblight Ganon with limited equipment.

==Treasure Chests==

*In the same room, using the map to set the large waterwheel turning allows access to a malice-covered chest on the outside of the wheel. Kill the eyeball to allow the chest to be looted for the bundle of ten [[Fire Arrow]]s inside.

*Inside the large waterwheel, use [[stasis]] to hold a block toward the outside of the wheel, allowing access to a chest on the wheel's hub with an [[Ancient Core]]. It is advisable to avoid being crushed when the stasis expires.

*Swim up the waterfall created from pressing the switch, and paraglide from the highest point over to the ledge ahead with the chest. Open it for a [[Hylia Series]] [[Breath of the Wild Spears|spear]] - depending on the current [[World Level]], possibly a [[Knight's Halberd]] or [[Royal Halberd]].
