On this page of our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom guide you can find a walkthrough for the Regional Phenomena story quest. This mission leads to unlocking further quests at Rito Village, Goron City, Zora's Domain, and Gerudo Town.
How to unlock the main quest?
The mission unlocks once you complete The Closed Door and To The Kingdom of Hyrule. After leaving Great Sky Island, travel to Lookout Landing and talk to Purah.
Purah will send you to Captain Hoza. After returning to Purah, you'll unlock the Paraglider, first Skyview Tower and a new mission. Your task is to visit all 4 markers on Surface map and investigate strange phenomena.
Rito Village
We recommend starting with Rito Village, in the north-western part of the map. The Hebra region is a winter zone - don't forget to get some warm clothing, or prepare a lot of cold resistance-boosting food.
At your destination, you'll unlock a story quest - Tulin of Rito Village. The task here is investigating the snowstorm caused by a mysterious ship floating in the clouds. Once you complete Wind Temple and the mission, you'll unlock Vow of Tulin. This item allows you to summon a companion and use Tulin's ability, Gust of Wind.
Goron City
Goron City is located in the northeastern part of the map, in the Eldin region. The city itself is located in a mountaineous area, which can be quickly scaled thanks to railway tracks.
At your destination, you'll unlock a story quest - Yunobo of Goron City. Together with Yunobo, you'll explore Death Mountain and descend to the Depths in search of Princess Zelda. The Fire Temple is characteristic for its high temperatures - before embarking on the quest, procure some heat-mitigating clothes and prepare food that increases the resistance to hot temperatures.
After completing the temple, you'll receive Vow of Yunobo, an item that allows you to summon a companion and use his ability - Charge Attack.
Zora's Domain
You will find Zora's Domain in the eastern part of the map. Upon arriving in the city, you will unlock The Sludge Covered Statue main quest.
Visiting the water town will unlock the Sidon of Zora main quest. Together with Sidon, you will go on a journey to Ancient Zora Waterworks, acquire the Zora Armor, and set out for another flying island to the Water Temple.
When you complete the quest, you unlock Vow of Sidon, Sage of Water. Sidon's ability will allow you to apply a protective water barrier to yourself.
Gerudo Town
Gerudo is located in the southwest part of the map. The journey through the desert will be hindered by a sandstorm. In the walkthrough for Riju of Gerudo Town, we explained in detail how to get to the town and Kara Kara Bazaar.
Together with Riju, you will defend Gerudo Town and solve the mystery of the 4 pillars in the Gerudo desert. After defeating Queen Gibdo and exploring the Lightning Temple, you will need to charge 4 batteries. After the second fight with Queen Gibdo, you will receive Vow of Riju, Sage of Lightning. Thanks to this ability, you will be able to attack several enemies at once.
