How to get Vow of Mineru, Sage of Spirit in Tears of the Kingdom
To acquire Mineru’s, aka the Sage of Spirit’s Vow, in Zelda TOTK, you’ll need to complete the main quest titled “Guidance of Ages Past.” This quest follows the Secret of the Ring Ruins main quest, but you can directly start with Mineru’s quest if you prefer. Here’s how to initiate the quest and obtain Mineru’s vow:
- Begin by launching Link from the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower (coordinates: 0604, -2124, 0098) and use your paraglider to reach the Thunderhead Isles.
- Locate the Joku-u Shrine on Dragonhead Island and clear the blocked entrance to proceed to the adjacent room and find the large door.
- Note that opening the door requires Link to have at least ten Heart Containers.
- Once the door is open, approach the object on the altar and interact with it to start the Guidance of Ages Past main quest.
How to complete the Guidance of Ages Past quest
Here is the step-by-step on how to complete the “Guidance of Ages Past” quest:
- Use Ultrahand to attach the object to the glider outside and follow the light beam’s direction.
- This will lead you to the entrance of the underground Spirit Temple, where Mineru, the Sage of Spirit, resides. Carry the object, which is actually the head of Mineru’s Robot Mech, all the way inside.
- Place the head in the designated slot using Ultrahand to activate the construct and talk to Mineru.
- In order to complete the quest, you need to find and gather the remaining body parts of the mech and assemble a new body for Mineru.
- Finally, defeat the Seized Construct, the Spirit Temple boss, to finish the quest and obtain the Vow of Mineru, Sage of Spirit.
How to use Vow of Mineru, Sage of Spirit in Tears of the Kingdom
The Vow of Mineru is a powerful ability in TotK that grants you the ability to summon and ride Mineru’s Construct (aka the Zonai Mech). While summoned, the construct will act as your companion during exploration and aid you in combat even when you’re not riding it.
Here are some tips to make the most of the Vow of Mineru, Sage of Spirit:
Summoning and Dismissing Mineru’s Construct
Like any other companion in TotK, Mineru’s Construct can also be summoned and dismissed whenever you want:
- Open your inventory and go to the Key Items section.
- Find the Vow of Mineru and select the option to Summon or Dismiss.
Riding and Controlling Mineru’s Construct
Once summoned, Link can ride the construct and utilize its arms for attacking and guarding during combat. Keep in mind:
- The mech is Zonai-powered and will consume batteries as you move, but it will replenish when you stop.
- While riding, firing arrows becomes challenging, so be cautious when aiming.
- Remember that the mech does not make Link invulnerable; he can still take damage from enemy attacks and Gloom. Utilize the Guard button and dodge strategically during combat.
Attaching Objects to Mineru’s Construct
You can attach various objects, such as weapons and Zonai devices, to different parts of the construct, enhancing its combat and movement capabilities. For example, you can:
- Attach a rocket to its back for flying.
- Add a fan to increase its sprinting speed.
- Equip a cannon to its arms for ranged attacks.
