Breath of the Wild First Divine Beast

[PalaeoJoe]

What Divine Beast did you go to first?

The order of the Divine Beasts in the poll is the order I did them in. As well as your first Divine Beast, what order did you do them in?

ive only just got inside it....

I was wandering around and wound up at Vah Ruta first. I ended up doing it, Vah Rudania, Vah Naboris, and Vah Medoh in that order.

 

[Spirit]

Vah Ruta first for me.

When the first few story beats were over and i had the option of which of the four beasts to take down first i made it a mission to find the Zora since theyre my favourite race. I was also worried that the beast would be akin to a pain in the arse water temple so wanted it out of the way.

After that i did Medoh, Naboris and Rudania.

I regret doing Rudania last because i hated the Goron section of this game. I should have done it second.

I think that Vah Ruto will be the first Divine Beast for a significant chunk of the populace because it, heh, casts a wide net.

Seriously though there are Zora all over the place that ask for your help and direct you to meet with Prince Prettyshark. I don't remember any of the other DB quests doing this. I also imagine that it's intentional because Mipha's Grace is a great early game ability to have.

Vah Medoh> Vah Naboris > Vah Ruta > Vah Rudania. Even though the first beast I went to was Vah Ruta but I didn't have enough arrows when I faced Waterblight Ganon so I left. I returned later and only had to finish him off and got one more chest.

I ran into Sidon first, but triggered the Vah Naboris quest first, but did Vah Medoh first. I did Vah Ruta after that. I have the travel gate to Vah Rudania activated but my remaining two could go either way; all I have to do is get inside Naboris with Riju. I'm just an ass and left her waiting for like a week lol.

I will answer you after I beat one. I am about 120 hours in and still not even touched a single one of the game's 5 main dungeons.

The game subtly guides you in the order Ruto>Rudania>Naboris>Medoh, so that's the order I did them in.

It's quite obvious that the game guides you to Ruto first. But how does it guide you to the other ones in this order? Please explain.

 

[Nicolai]

I completely missed the cues to go to Vah Ruta first, cuz I was so enamored by the giant flying one you could see from miles away. Vah Medoh for me. In a similar vain, my second was Vah Rudania, cuz, well, you guess it: That's the other one you can see from really far away.

If anything, an implied order would be the divine beast bosses in alphabetical order since that's how they're listed in the compendium.

Medoh is meant to be done first since it's easy af

Right? I wish I did this one first. I did Ruta first but if I were to do it over I'd choose Medoh.

There are subtle mentions of the next location in each city, but the most notable thing is the fact that you'll find a member of the next race in or around each city... there's a Goron in Zora's Domain, a Gerudo in Goron City, and a Rito in Kara Kara Bazaar, just outside Gerudo Town.
There's also the Tarrey Town quest... you'd likely have already visited Zora's Domain by that point, and you're then asked to find a Goron, a Gerudo, and a Rito in that order, before going back for a Zora.
