Riju will meet you at a lookout post near the city. She will recommend that you ride a sand seal there since you will have to use a sand seal to approach the Divine Beast. If you would like to practice, you can either rent a sand seal at Gerudo Town or sneak up on the wild ones outside the gates like you would a horse.

Once you have arrived at the post, climb up the ladder and Riju will point out the feet of Vah Naboris. She will also give you 20 Bomb Arrows that you will need to use to shoot the feet, like we did with Vah Medoh.

While you are riding your sand seal with Riju, her Thunder Helm will create a wide circular green area around her. This is the area in which you will be protected from the lightning strikes of Vah Naboris. Strive to stay inside this circle as frequently as possible, but do not dash too much because Riju will simply dash in response.

Once you are far enough into the desert, you will see a brief cutscene of Vah Naboris winding up for a lightning strike. Stay close to Riju at all costs. Once the strike has been weathered, begin aiming at the feet of Vah Naboris.

Each foot of Vah Naboris will need two Bomb Arrows to deactivate. Aiming on a sand seal and trying to stay close to Riju at the same time can be a stressful task, so if you have one, try using a bow that shoots multiple arrows at once to make aiming easier.

Once all four feet have been shot, Vah Naboris will topple to the ground, giving Link access. Vah Naboris will register as a fast travel point while you are working through it and you will be greeted by Urbosa’s voice, who will direct you to the Guidance Stone.
