Post-Game Content (DLC)

Congratulations, Champion! Defeating Calamity Ganon is just the beginning of your adventure in Hyrule. The "Expansion Pass" DLC introduces a wealth of new challenges, powerful gear, and a deeper dive into the lore of the Champions. This section will guide you through the most significant post-game content, focusing on "The Champions' Ballad" DLC.

The Champions' Ballad (DLC Pack 2)

Upon loading your save file after defeating Calamity Ganon (or at any point after obtaining all four Divine Beasts), you'll receive a mysterious message from Princess Zelda. This triggers the start of "The Champions' Ballad" questline, a substantial expansion that delves into the past of the four Champions and offers a new, formidable challenge.

Starting the Quest: The One-Hit Obliterator

Return to the Shrine of Resurrection: Fast travel back to the Shrine of Resurrection, the very first location you woke up in.
Activate the Pedestal: A new pedestal will have appeared in the Shrine. Interact with it to receive the One-Hit Obliterator.
The Trial of the One-Hit Obliterator:
- This powerful weapon reduces your health to a single quarter-heart but allows you to defeat most enemies in one hit. However, any damage you take is instant death.
- Four new enemy camps will appear on the Great Plateau, marked on your map. You must clear all enemies in each camp using only the One-Hit Obliterator.
- Strategy: Use stealth, environmental hazards (like explosive barrels), and the terrain to your advantage. Focus on isolating enemies and eliminating them quickly. Remember, one hit from anything, even a Chuchu, will defeat you.
- Upon clearing all four camps, the One-Hit Obliterator will disappear, and four new shrines will emerge on the Great Plateau.

The Champion's Trials: Honoring the Fallen

After completing the One-Hit Obliterator trial, you'll be tasked with revisiting each of the four Divine Beast regions. In each region, Kass, the Rito minstrel, will provide clues to three new challenges related to the respective Champion. Completing these challenges will unlock a new shrine and reveal a memory of the Champion.
