The Zelda: Breath of the Wild Champions’ Ballad is the second DLC released for the game. Unlike the previous DLC, this one adds to the story, adds more dungeons, and of course more equipment.
In this guide, we will be showing you how to gain access to the content of the DLC. You will obviously need to have purchased the DLC beforehand. Once you have it, you will be able to gain access to a plethora of new content.
How to start the BotW Champions Ballad DLC
The Champions Ballad DLC in Breath of the Wild brings new Shrines, Outfits, and some other important items.
There are a few tasks you need to finish first-hand so you can dive into the DLC’s content. Get ready to face off against four beasts within Hyrule, gear up, as we take you through the details.
Champions Ballad quests
If you want to start the quests, you need to first defeat four Divine Beasts in Hyrule. You also need to clear all of the story quests that are associated with them. The four divine beasts are:
- Vah Ruta
- Vah Medoh
- Vah Rudania
- Vah Naboris
Once you have completed all of the aforementioned tasks, you will be called back to the Great Plateau by Zelda and asked to return to the Shrine of Resurrection. Here you will get your first Sheikah Slate which is the indicator for the beginning of the main quest of the DLC.
Once you activate the terminal of the first Sheikah Slate, you will have to take out four camps of monsters and you will master a Divine Beast as a reward.
You will get the One Hit Obliterator as a result of this. However, your health will also be reduced to only being able to stomach 1 hit. This makes the game way more skill intensive than before.
Main quests to do in Champions Ballad
With the DLC content, you get new main quests you can complete in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. These quests will test your abilities and allow you to loot several rewarding items.
Let us provide you with the Zelda: BOTW Champions Ballad DLC main quests and its associated shrines. You can explore these shrines after defeating the enemies in that area, and there you will find new clothes, armor, and much more for your inventory.
