To beat Divine Beast Vah Ruta in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you'll primarily focus on destroying the ice blocks it throws at you using Cryonis, and then getting close enough to attack the weak points. Here's a breakdown:
-
Phase 1 & 2: Ice Block Destruction
- While riding on Sidon's back, Vah Ruta will launch ice blocks at you.
- Equip the Cryonis rune.
- Center the ice blocks in your reticle.
- Press "L" to shatter them with Cryonis.
- Destroy all the ice blocks on one side.
-
Phase 3 & 4: Attacking the Weak Spots
- After destroying the ice blocks, Sidon will swim you close to Vah Ruta.
- Use this opportunity to shoot the waterfalls emerging from Vah Ruta with arrows. You need to hit the glowing pink orbs.
- Repeat the ice block destruction and waterfall attacking until Vah Ruta is defeated. Typically, there are four waterfalls to hit.
Remember to replenish arrows if needed!
