Aloy, Link, and Yunobo climbed all the way up the mountainside. Unlike Aloy and Link, Yunobo proved slower. As the plan went, whenever Link whistled, Yunobo stopped stock still and the duo went to work getting rid of Rudania's sentries that hovered above the trail as they made their way up the volcano. Then, Aloy would whistle to get Yunobo to come. There were three cannons that they had to use, all of which had black Moblins around them that needed killing. Afterwards, Yunobo would jump into a cannon and be fired up at Rudania, which would roar and crawl away from them by going around the mountain. They continued on up the mountain to the second cannon, also having to repeat what they did on their way to the first one. Again, Rudania would roar and crawl away from them, and again they went onward to the third cannon clearing the way for Yunobo. But after Yunobo was fired from that cannon and hit Rudania for the third time, the Divine Beast next released steam as it roared then crawled up to the mouth of the volcano, and finally down into the volcano itself.

Aloy, Link, and Yunobo are now staring up at the rim of the volcano.

"Looks like we got it on the run," Aloy said. "So how are we gonna get inside of that Divine Beast?"

Link tells her that now they climb up there and get down upon Rudania and begins his climb, with Aloy and Yunobo close behind. The trio reach the rim of the volcano and gaze down into it, where they see Rudania simply resting atop of the boiling lava.

"That was so cool!" Yunobo exclaimed. "You really put a licking on that thing, Link, Aloy!"

"Actually you were the one who got launched at Rudania," Aloy said. "All Link did was position you and drop a bomb in to set you loose. And me, I just stood around and watched."

"Yeah, that's right," Yunobo mused thoughtfully. "Anyway, it's time to finish the job! This is our big chance!"

"Are you saying you wanna join us, Yunobo?" Aloy asked.

"Me?! Ah, no!" As he waves his hands. "I got you this far, so you two can handle the rest. If you can get down there."

"We can get down there," Aloy said, then turns to Link. "So, are you ready to do this, Link?" As a touch of unease enters her tone. "Are you ready to glide down onto Rudania?"

Link states that he is and tells Aloy to ready herself. She does so, but cannot help to feel uneasy about this. Link gives the word and he jumps, then whips out his paraglider, and Aloy is quick to follow. Together, they glide down into the volcano. The heat great enough to kill anyone not having drunk a fireproof elixir or even wear that Flamebreaker Armor.

They glide ever closer to Rudania, keen on finding a place to land, and Aloy also keen on not landing on Link. They each manage to land on the platform where the pedestal is.

"Okay!" Aloy gasped as she doubles over and places her hands on her knees. "Alright! Of all the dangerous things that I have ever done, gliding down into a volcano has to be the most dangerous one. Now then," as she straightens, "let's get this beast working so that we can get out of here sooner."

Link nods and walks over to the pedestal and touches it with the Sheikah Slate. The pedestal glows blue and the warp ring lights up nearby. A door rises before it.

HEY, LITTLE GUY! LONG TIME NO SEE!

A gruff though jovial disembodied voice is heard through their mind and ears.

I ALWAYS KNEW YOU'D COME BACK. AND YOU EVEN BROUGHT A FRIEND TO HELP YOU TOO! Y'KNOW, I NEVER STOPPED BELIEVING IN YOU! YOU'RE BOTH HERE TO TAKE CONTROL OF OL' RUDANIA BACK FROM GANON, EH? YOU'RE BOTH GONNA NEED A MAP THAT SHOWS THE GUTS OF THIS PLACE. YOU CAN GRAB THE INFO FROM THE GUIDANCE STONE OVER THERE. NOW GET A MOVE ON!

As it had been with Ruta, Aloy sees in her mind the interior of this beast. She sees the Guidance Stone in the back behind a barred door, if only for a few seconds.

That is when they are overwhelmed by the insane heat of the volcano, causing them to feel as if they are about to burst into flame. The duo are quick to take out a bottle of fireproof elixir and drink it down. They breathe a sigh of relief as they double over for a moment. Aloy is aware of her sweat having formed on her.

"Let's just hope this one lasts up until after you reach this place's central control unit!" Aloy gasped.

The duo recover their selves and go through the door and down a ramp. The door behind them suddenly shuts, plunging the interior into darkness. Aloy is quick to use her focus.

"I just hope that this darkness is temporary," Aloy said.

They make it down the stairs to where there are two burning blue flames on standing braziers along either side of them, the orange dots and lines on the walls denoting constellations, and the purple glow of Malice about the place, along with the red flecks. They are quick to notice two eyestalks up ahead.

"How about I puncture that one on the left and you can have the other?" Aloy suggested.

Link accepts and they each take out their bows and an arrow. They destroy the eyestalks to clear up the Malice, releasing two chests. Link notices another eyestalk up above and gets rid of that one too, causing another chest to fall down. From each chest, Link is able to get a Dragonbone Boko club, five ice arrows, and a torch. But he cannot take the torch.

"Here, I'll take it," Aloy said as she holds her hand out and Link gives it to her.

She walks over to one of the braziers and lights the torch. It helps somewhat and they venture further along in the darkness until they come upon the wall on the other side. It is there that they come upon a doorway with bars on it and an unlit brazier next to it. Aloy lights the brazier, causing the bars to rise so they may pass. Inside, they are confronted by a small Guardian and Link demolishes it with the stone smasher. More Malice is about the place, along with four eyestalks hanging from the ceiling. One-by-one Link dispatches them with an incombustible bow and arrows, clearing up the Malice and releasing two chests, both of which contain five arrows. The bow finally breaks after getting rid of the last eyestalk. Across the room near the wall is another chest that Link finds to contain a royal bow. It is of intricate design from golden and brown metal. There is another unlit brazier next to a barred doorway and Aloy lights it, causing the bars to lift and grant access to the Guidance Stone.

Link activates the Guidance Stone so that a glowing blue drop can fall upon the Sheikah Slate to splash momentarily. That is when Daruk speaks to them telepathically once again.

NICE JOB GETTING THE MAP OF THE DIVINE BEAST! THE TERMINALS THAT CONTROL RUDANIA ARE NOTED BY THE GLOWING POINTS ON YOUR MAP. TO TAKE BACK RUDANIA, YOU'LL NEED TO ACTIVATE ALL OF THE TERMINALS. YOU GOT THIS, LITTLE GUY, AND LITTLE GIRL!

"Little girl?" Aloy mused.

The sound of metal is heard and the interior rapidly begins to brighten as large shutters open in the ceiling so that the interior is now well-lit. Small tendrils of black mist float about the place, appearing and disappearing along with the red motes.

"Finally," Aloy sighed with relief as she tosses the torch away. "For a moment there, I thought we were going to have to complete this mission in darkness."

Outside of the room with the Guidance Stone, they look around. There is a beam above them and one of the Sheikah Terminals up on the wall next to them fixed sideways upon a section of wall that is fitted within an alcove.

"How are you going to get to that?" Aloy asked incredulously.

Link shows her the map of Rudania and presses a button to highlight one of two arrows around the Divine Beast. He next presses another button and Rudania is heard roaring and the whole room suddenly begins tipping to the right; forcing the duo to adjust their footing as the wall with that Sheikah Terminal starts becoming the floor, and the floor the duo were standing on becomes a wall. Rudania finally stops moving and lets out another brief roar. The Sheikah Terminal is now upright with a pit around it.

"And of course," Aloy quipped.

Link jumps forward and whips out his paraglider, reaching the Sheikah Terminal. After activating that terminal, Daruk is heard once again.

THERE ARE FOUR TERMINALS REMAINING! THAT'S THE WAY!

Link tilts Rudania back to the left and they are once again on the original floor. They return to the room they had first entered and investigate the area. At the back are a set of large metal doors painted black with dead ivy covering the top down to a wooden beam that bars them. Off to the left alongside the entrance the duo took to get inside of Rudania is a golden door with vertical parallel lines and a hole in its center in the shape of an eye. And further to the left is a large indentation with pulsating orange markings up on the wall within an alcove from where the beam along the ceiling runs from. Aloy looks through the eye in the golden door and sees an unlit brazier just across from her.

Link takes out the royal bow and lights an arrow on one of the braziers, and releases it upward at the dead ivy on the metal doors. The fire burns away the ivy and the wooden bar, freeing the doors so that Link next uses Magnesis to open them, revealing a Sheikah Terminal. He also notices the dead ivy up on the wall to the ceiling because he takes another arrow, lights it on one of the blue flame braziers, and releases it at the dead ivy to cause a chest to drop from the ceiling and land next to the terminal. He opens it to find an ancient gear.

He next activates the terminal. Again Daruk speaks.

THERE ARE THREE TERMINALS REMAINING! ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET MOVIN'!

"I got this one," Aloy said as she has her hunting bow out along with an arrow. She lights the arrow on one of the blue flamed braziers, then takes aim through the hole in the door and releases, lighting the brazier on the other side. The golden door rises.

They enter a room that has a large entrance to another room on their right just up ahead, but is blocked by six jets of flame side-by-side. They walk past it and reach a dead end, making them look around. Link looks up and points to dead ivy covering two wooden boards holding some square silvery metal in place. Link is quick to take out the royal bow and light an arrow using one of the flame jets, then shoots the ivy covered wooden boards. They burn away and a large silvery metal crate drops to the floor before them.

"So how are we going to use this?" Aloy pondered.

Link tells her that the interior of the last Divine Beast was a puzzle, and this one is turning out to be such as well, meaning that they are meant to be solved. Aloy looks from the crate to the jets of flame.

"Maybe," she began. "Maybe that could be used to block those flames?"

Link tells her that there is only one way to find out as he takes out the Sheikah Slate and uses Magnesis to maneouver that crate so that he places it upon a part of the jets of flames, effectively blocking them.

"Okay, we could climb over that," Aloy suggested, "but our weight upon it would make it unstable."

Link answers by having Rudania tilt so that the curved wall next to where they had entered becomes a curved floor.

"Let's hope that another terminal is behind those flames," Aloy gasped.

They are able to walk past the crate and see up on the left wall what Aloy had hoped they would find. Link has Rudania tilt back to make it the floor once again. He activates the terminal and Daruk is heard once again.

THERE ARE TWO TERMINALS REMAINING! JUST A LITTLE MORE!

The flame jets are now out and they are able to easily leave the room without needing to tilt Rudania. Back out in the main room, they look around and Link brings up the map once again to search for the two remaining Sheikah Terminals. Studying the map, Link walks over to the indentation along with Aloy.

"There's a barred room up there," Aloy said as she points up at the wall. "Get it to tilt once again."

Link does so and the alcove becomes a pit, of which they are within.

"Yep, there's one of the terminals," Aloy said as she is staring at a Sheikah Terminal that is blocked by bars. She next looks down at the indentation. "It looks like we're going to have to go sphere hunting like we did back in Kakariko Village."

Link agrees and has Rudania tilt back once again, but only long enough for them to get into proper position so that he can have the Divine Beast tilt once again so that they are soon standing before the beam, now turned into a barred ramp, and a silvery metal square at the base between two short thin curved posts.

Aloy focuses on the front as she examines it with her focus.

"Link, use Magnesis on that metal square and try to lift it."

Link does so, revealing it to be a metal box like the one he used to help him activate the previous terminal, albeit smaller. He cannot remove it as the curvature of the posts prevent that. Link releases the box so that it falls back into place. Aloy walks up to the ramp to stare at the metal bars that run the full length of the ramp.

"This ramp is hollow," she said, then turns to Link. "That means if we follow this to its source, we will find the sphere and can have it rolled down there."

Link nods and they are on their way up that ramp. Aloy sees the chest stuck on the rightside of the ramp.

"And naturally you'll want to get that later on," Aloy quipped, knowing Link sees it too.

They reach the top and go out through the door, having to hang a left since the right is a wall. They come upon a downward curvature and carefully look over to see an unlit brazier attached to the side, making it sideways.

"Now I wish I hadn't thrown that torch away," Aloy sighed.

Link pats her shoulder and gently tells her its okay as he takes out the royal bow and an arrow, which catches fire in the intense heat outside. He takes aim and shoots. A metallic clunk is heard next to that now burning brazier.

"It looks like you're going to have Rudania be a good boy and roll over," Aloy quipped.

Link smirks as he takes out the Sheikah Slate and makes Rudania tilt. The wall that was on their right when they came out turns into a platform. They watch a sphere with pulsating orange markings roll down until it reaches the turn.

The next thing Link does is walk up onto the ramp, or more accurately its side, so that he can go and get whatever is in that chest.

"Really?!" Aloy called after him. "It's probably nothing worth taking!"

She watches Link open the chest and take out an identical royal bow. "You already got-"

Only to be interrupted by something white and purplish black closing in from her side. She turns in time to see a Stalkoblin skull wreathed in Malice flying toward her. She reacts by batting it away with her arm, then takes out her spear and wacks it, destroying it. That is when a Stalizalfos skull wreathed in Malice pops up from the other side and attacks her too.

"Hey, Link!" As she smacks away the cursed Lizalfos, also destroying it. "A little help here?!"

She stabs the cursed Bokoblin as Link comes running. Once outside, he tilts Rudania once again and the platform becomes the wall once again.

"You really gotta stop doing that," Aloy reprimanded him with a gasp. "Now . . . let's chase after that sphere."

They follow the sphere down the ramp, where it stops at the metal block. Link raises the box to make the sphere falls and roll into the center, turning the orange to blue. They hear a clank.

Link tells Aloy to wait for a moment then jumps and glides down, disappearing into the room. She soon hears the disembodied Daruk.

JUST ONE MORE TERMINAL REMAINING! JUST ONE MORE!

Aloy hears Rudania roar once again and the telltale thunk, then it begins tilting once again so that the pit becomes an alcove once again. Link stands before Aloy once again.

"So where is the last Sheikah Terminal at?" Link asks.

Together, they look at the map, at the spot where the last one is.

"So it's outside upon the top of its spine," Aloy mused. "Great. That is going to be tricky for you to get at . . . I think I should remain in here until you get that terminal functioning. Then, come and holler for me."

Link nods firmly and hurries outside the way they first entered.

I better go up against the wall over there before it turns into the floor. Aloy thought as she walks over to a section of the wall and presses her back flat to it and places her hands behind her head, then waits.

A few minutes later comes the sound of Rudania and Aloy soon goes from standing with her back to the wall to lying on the floor. Daruk's voice is soon heard once again, showing Aloy that Link had managed to reach the final terminal.

THAT WAS THE LAST TERMINAL! NOW GO AHEAD AND START UP THE MAIN CONTROL UNIT! THERE SHOULD BE A NEW GLOWING MARK ON YOUR MAP. YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO MAKE YOUR WAY OVER TO THAT. STAY FOCUSED, LITTLE GUY. AND DON'T FORGET TO GO GET THAT LITTLE GIRL TOO. YOU'RE GONNA NEED HER!

Aloy snickers with bemused thoughts that soon turn serious. He definitely is seeing everything in here! But judging by what he had said, we're gonna be fighting something like that monster we fought back in the previous Divine Beast.

Rudania's roar is heard again and Aloy is soon standing once again. She walks away from the wall to listen intently for Link. Sure enough, he calls for her up from the entrance they first took to get inside.

"Coming!" Aloy called as she runs up the ramp to greet him. Link urges her to follow as he runs past the entrance and up onto the Divine Beast's back. Careful of the openings in the top.

Aloy and Link approach the main central unit, which looks just like the one in Ruta.

"Link," Aloy said, "judging by what Daruk had just said-yes, I heard him too-we had better prepare for a huge fight like the last time in the previous Divine Beast."

Link agrees with her, then places the Sheikah Slate against the control pedestal. Just like in was with Divine Beast Vah Ruta, Malice comes gushing out of the pedestal and engulfs the central control unit. Blue light rushes past them and consolidates behind them, giving form to their enemy: Fireblight Ganon.
