Stand Up Song For The Champions

[Barbra Lidder]

TheEX Champion Daruk's Song is one of DLC Main Quests in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. After completing the first set of trials on the Great Plateau, you can start this quest near the Golow River across from the Goron City, in the Eldin Region.

Take note that in order to access this mission, you'll have to have the DLC purchased and installed, but you'll also need to have completed each of the Divine Beasts and defeated the Blight Ganons inside.

As with the other regions, Kass mentions speaking with the Goron people - Yunobo and Bludo. If you head back to chat with them at Goron City, you can learn more about Daruk, and find his training journal in Yunobo's house.

The first trial mentions stopping a titan made of molten stone. If you look at the obelisks, you can find a map point that features a pool of lava just South of a giant skeleton. This is the Eldin Great Skeleton, putting the map point at Lake Darman on the north shore.

As it rises from the fires, it will cause gusts of wind to rise up around him. Use these to your advantage to fly up above him and loose ice arrows to cool down his body and hit the ore vein to stun him.

Insert a Round Remote Bomb and hit the switch to pan the cannon. As it passes over the target, explode your bomb to send the ball hurtling into the target - knocking it down and revealing a new target further back.

Note that along with the new slowly moving target - there's a chest high up on the right side, and below it, a fenced in receptacle. Aim the cannon at the chest to break the platform its on and send it crashing down below - and use Magnesis to pull the chest over that holds a Diamond.

Now, return to the cannon and carefully aim the moving target. Try a test fire, and you'll find that the ball hits the wall around the second highest pair of blue lights - you'll want the target to be around at that height while the cannon is moving over that area to hit the target.

Once gate to the Monk has been lowered, but one more remains. To the right of the Monk, you'll find another device - and an apparatus you can use with motion controls to orient a target on rails with fences on both sides. For this first target, just rotate the apparatus so the target is clearly facing you with no fences to block your shot.

Once the next target opens behind the apparatus - it get trickier. Go back to the apparatus and slowly reorient it so that it forms a hole that you can see across to the target on the wall. This makes the gap fairly small - so timing is critical here, but the hole is wide enough to a timed shot to sail through and open the gate to the Monk. Now you can get Rudania's Emblem, one of three to meet your next challenge.

Once you dive down to a lower rock, the portals will start going down the side of the volcano East towards the Akkala Region. Drop and glide to catch yourself and go through the lowering portals and under a rocky arch to find the final portal over a large lava lake.

In order to survive, you'll need to be holding onto a safe part of the block when passing through the flames. Jump on the block and stick to the right side as the flames shoot from the left side. As soon as you pass the first flame wall, start climbing and jumping to the opposite side (Ravio's Hood works well here if you got it). Finally, hop up to stand on top of the block as it passes through flame jets on both sides.

The conveyor line ends here with the block falling into the abyss - best to hop off now. Moving along the platform you'll find a new conveyor line with more blocks to grab onto. This time, there will a be a line of spikes along the top, so hold onto the side and then climb up on the other side.

As you pass through the next area, three Guardian Scouts will appear on several small platforms. You need to take them out so they don't knock you off - so either perfect parry their blasts or use a bow to get rid of them and drop down before you reach the spikes.

In the final area, you'll find a conveyor line going in a large circle below the Monk, with several waterfalls along the way. As you jump on, the first section will have a continually falling chest in front of flame jets. Use Cryonis to make platforms you can jump to and get to more sturdy ground, then make a new ice platform to catch the chest holding a Great Flameblade.

Hop from the highest platform over the flame wall, and look for the next waterfall under the Monk. Create new Cryonis platforms out of the waterfall to jump down to, and make stairs out of the ice to get to the Monk. Speak with him to get another Rudania's Emblems.

This is Darb Pond, found South of Death Mountain and the Bridge of Eldin. Here you will find some of the Gorons from Gut Check Rock who talk about one of Daruk's challenges involving standing on Lava itself - where the blue portal is.

Since you can't tread lava to save your life - you'll need to find an alternative. Look along the Western banks of the pond to find a giant metal crate, and use Magnesis to carefully guide it to the ring.

In the Rinu Honika Shrine - Block the Blaze - you'll be in for more fiery treats. The floor is literally lava here, and up ahead, flame jets shoot on on either side. You can crouch under these, but move quick or the heat will get to you.

Up ahead are more flame jets you can't sneak under - but the pillar on the left has a crumbling base. Throw a Remote Bomb down and detonate to send the pillar down a notch and the bottom flame down below. At the next set of flame jets, there's a large metal block at the base of the pillar you can pull out to get rid of one, and use the block as a shield to strafe the other flames with the block in front of them.

In the next hall, you'll find another metal block and a horde of flames jets coming down from above. Place one of the blocks on the left side of the platform the flames are hitting, and angle the other box to fall off and jam up the upper right side to give you passage through the fire.

In the next area, you'll find a long platform with flames all around - and an apparatus controller. More motion controls! Flip the contraption upside-down until you see two E-shaped sections on each end, and angle them so that they face and block the flame jets on both sides. Once you see the fires quenched - let go of the apparatus and cross to the Monk. Speak to him, and you'll gain the last of Rudania's Emblems. Head to the Divine Beast itself for your last challenge.

As you approach the Divine Beast, instead of being teleported away, you will have the chance to enter an illusory realm - one where you must face the terror that lurks within the Divine Beast - but things will be different than from your last encounter.

You only have one weapon and very few arrows, which means your hits need to really count. Refrain from using your bows just yet, and focus on melee attacks for now - the Boulder Breaker should get you through the fight without breaking.

At first, like your last fight with Fireblight Ganoon, he'll alternate between overhead and sweeping attacks - if you can dodge these at the right time, your flurry attacks will deal huge damage. Continue this pattern until this monster enacts his second phase.

Just like your first fight with Fireblight Ganon, he'll take to the sky in a shield and begin absorbing the air to explode - use a remote bomb here to stun him and lay into him with your Boulder Breaker.

It might be tempting to hit him with arrows when he floats around - but you want to save those strictly for when he summons a fire orb to throw at you and explode, or perhaps when he tries to hit you with his laser blast eye attack.

Returning to reality, Kass will meet you and come up with a song for the Champion Daruk. His song will invoke memories from long ago - and unlock a new potential. Daruk's Protection will now recharge at a much faster rate!

My first time on here, so hello everyone :)

I quit my job as an Activities Co-ordinator at a dementia nursing home last week because the residents are treated with hardly any dignity or equality. No-one reports anything seen or heard, the management are too busy to notice whats happening and if anything does get reported, they always manage to wriggle out of it somehow. I was powerless to change things there....believe me, I've tried. Its not the residents that are instutionalised there, it's the staff. They dont listen and dont care. So I quit in protest, making sure the manager knew exactly what my issues were. I feel glad, but frustrated too. Anyone any idea how I can forge a career in dignity awareness? Standing by your morals isnt very financially rewarding sadly, so I need to work, but cant go back to a mundane job, knowing people out there need help. Thanks folks :) xx

Hi Carla, I understand what your going through, it's happening in my work place aswel .... I also work in a nursing home as a care assistant. I became a dignity champion a few years back, and I try my hardest to put things into place, but when staff are making things hard for me when they don't listen and encourage me .. I'm glad that I'm not the only one feeling that way. You should of stuck it out until you found another job, and not give up to easily.

Well done! I have worked in a few care homes and am very disillusioned . The staff are great where I am now but completely overwhelmed with the volume of work and the manger just blames us for not being able to do an impossible job.

I really don't know the answer except to work for a charity like alzheimer's support or age uk. Trouble is it doesn't do anything to help all the residents of care homes. I thought dignity Champions would give me a way to push forward rights for clients, but seems to be just a talking shop.

I am stuck in a pattern of telling manager how I feel and then having to leave and get another job.

all the powers that be care about is filling in charts to pretend a good job is being done when there is only just time to meet physical needs and the emotional, social and psychological needs are completely neglected.

I really respect what you have done. I hope someone has some hope for our residents and people like us too.
