After infiltrating the Yiga Clan hideout and retrieving the stolen Thunder Helm, we find ourselves at the final step of our Divine Beast journey – freeing the mechanical desert camel Vah Naboris. By now, the routine is familiar: after fulfilling certain prerequisites, meet up with an escort from the tribe in question – in thisContinue reading “Aboard the Mechanical Desert Camel”

InContinue reading “Hinox and Talus and Bears, oh my!”
