how to use paraglider botw

Paragliding is an essential tool in Breath of the Wild, allowing you to traverse the vast landscape with ease. To get started, you must complete the “Divine Beast Vah Medoh” quest, which will reward you with the Paraglider. Once you have the Paraglider, you can use it by jumping off a high place and pressing the “A” button. You can control your flight by tilting the left analog stick, and you can use the “X” button to gain altitude.

Getting the Paraglider

To obtain the Paraglider in Breath of the Wild, you must complete the “Divine Beast Vah Medoh” quest. This quest is available after you have completed the “Seek Out Impa” quest and spoken to the Old Man on the Great Plateau.

To start the “Divine Beast Vah Medoh” quest, travel to the Flight Range, which is located in the Tabantha Frontier region. Once you arrive at the Flight Range, speak to Kass, the Rito musician. He will tell you about the Paraglider and how to obtain it.

To get the Paraglider, you must first complete the “Test of Strength” challenge. This challenge requires you to defeat a powerful Guardian Scout. Once you have defeated the Guardian Scout, Kass will reward you with the Paraglider.

With the Paraglider in hand, you can now explore the vast landscape of Hyrule from the skies. Paragliding is a great way to travel long distances quickly and easily. It is also a lot of fun!

Here are some tips for getting started with paragliding⁚

• Find a high place to jump off from. The higher you jump from, the farther you will be able to glide.
• Tilt the left analog stick to control your flight. You can tilt the stick forward to gain altitude, and tilt it back to lose altitude.
• Use the “X” button to gain altitude. You can use this button to boost yourself up into the air, or to stay in the air longer.
• Be careful not to fly too close to the ground. If you fly too close to the ground, you will crash and take damage.

With a little practice, you will be able to master the Paraglider and soar through the skies of Hyrule.

Using the Paraglider

The Paraglider is a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of purposes in Breath of the Wild. Here are some of the most common uses⁚

• Travel⁚ The Paraglider is a great way to travel long distances quickly and easily. It is much faster than running or riding a horse, and it allows you to reach places that would be difficult or impossible to reach on foot.
• Exploration⁚ The Paraglider allows you to explore the vast landscape of Hyrule from a new perspective. You can soar over mountains, forests, and rivers, and get a bird’s-eye view of the world below.
• Combat⁚ The Paraglider can also be used in combat. You can use it to gain a height advantage over your enemies, or to escape from a dangerous situation. You can also use the Paraglider to drop bombs on your enemies from above.
• Puzzles⁚ The Paraglider can be used to solve some of the puzzles in Breath of the Wild. For example, you can use the Paraglider to reach high ledges or to cross gaps.

To use the Paraglider, simply jump off a high place and press the “A” button. You can control your flight by tilting the left analog stick. Tilting the stick forward will cause you to gain altitude, and tilting the stick back will cause you to lose altitude. You can also use the “X” button to gain altitude.

Upgrading the Paraglider

The Paraglider can be upgraded twice in Breath of the Wild. Each upgrade increases the Paraglider’s durability and glide speed. To upgrade the Paraglider, you must talk to Robbie at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab.

First Upgrade⁚

The first upgrade increases the Paraglider’s durability from 30 to 60. This means that the Paraglider will be able to withstand more damage before it breaks. To get the first upgrade, you must give Robbie 10 Ancient Screws and 5 Ancient Shafts.

Second Upgrade⁚

The second upgrade increases the Paraglider’s glide speed from 1.2 to 1.5. This means that the Paraglider will glide faster and farther. To get the second upgrade, you must give Robbie 10 Giant Ancient Cores and 5 Ancient Shafts.

I highly recommend upgrading the Paraglider as soon as possible. The increased durability and glide speed make the Paraglider much more useful and enjoyable to use.

Here are some tips for upgrading the Paraglider⁚

• Collect Ancient Screws and Ancient Shafts. These items can be found in Ancient Chests and Guardians.
• Collect Giant Ancient Cores. These items can be found in large Guardians and in chests in Hyrule Castle.
• Talk to Robbie at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. He will upgrade the Paraglider for you if you have the necessary materials.

With the Paraglider fully upgraded, you will be able to soar through the skies of Hyrule with ease and confidence.

Advanced Paragliding Techniques

Once you have mastered the basics of paragliding, you can start to learn some more advanced techniques. These techniques can help you to travel faster, reach higher altitudes, and perform more precise maneuvers.

Thermaling⁚

Thermaling is a technique that allows you to gain altitude by flying in updrafts. Updrafts are columns of warm air that rise from the ground. To thermal, you need to find an updraft and then fly in circles within the updraft. As you circle, you will gain altitude.

Sidewind Flying⁚

Sidewind flying is a technique that allows you to fly in a direction that is perpendicular to the wind. To sidewind fly, you need to fly at a 45-degree angle to the wind. As you fly, you will be pushed sideways by the wind. This technique can be used to travel faster or to reach higher altitudes.
Spot Landing⁚

Spot landing is a technique that allows you to land in a specific location. To spot land, you need to fly towards your desired landing spot and then use the “X” button to slow down. As you slow down, you will descend more quickly. You can use this technique to land on small platforms or in other difficult-to-reach areas.

Advanced Paragliding Tips⁚

• Use the “ZL” button to look around while you are paragliding. This can help you to spot updrafts and other landmarks.
• Use the “R” button to sprint while you are paragliding. This can help you to gain speed and altitude.
• Use the “X” button to slow down while you are paragliding. This can help you to land safely or to perform more precise maneuvers.

With practice, you will be able to master these advanced paragliding techniques and become a skilled paraglider.
