The "blupee horse" in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild refers to the mythical Lord of the Mountain, a unique, mystical creature associated with the glowing blupees and found atop Satori Mountain. Unlike regular horses, this extraordinary steed cannot be registered at a stable and will eventually disappear.
What is the Lord of the Mountain?
Often mistaken for a "blupee horse" due to its association with blupees, the Lord of the Mountain is a magnificent, four-eyed, glowing blue creature that resembles a large mountain goat. It is said to be the reincarnation of a sage who watches over nature, and its presence is marked by a bright, ethereal glow emanating from Satori Mountain.
Finding the Lord of the Mountain
To encounter this elusive creature, you must head to Satori Mountain. The Lord of the Mountain only appears when the mountain glows with a vibrant blue-green light, indicating that the spirit of Satori is present.
Here's how to locate it:
- Head to Satori Mountain: This mountain is located west of Central Hyrule and can be easily spotted by its distinctive glow at night when the Lord of the Mountain is present.
- Locate the Path: Once on the mountain, look for a path and a tunnel that leads through the northern part of the mountain.
- Find the Cherry Tree and Pond: Follow the path until you discover a serene clearing featuring a cherry tree and a small pond. When the Lord of the Mountain is active, this area will be teeming with blupees, further confirming you are in the right spot.
Taming the Lord of the Mountain
Taming the Lord of the Mountain requires a significant amount of stamina and a stealthy approach.
- High Stamina is Crucial: The Lord of the Mountain is a wild and powerful creature, demanding a large portion of Link's stamina to successfully tame. It's highly recommended to have at least two full stamina wheels, or a generous supply of stamina-restoring elixirs or food.
- Stealth Approach: Just like taming any wild horse, you'll need to sneak up on the Lord of the Mountain.
- Crouch (press the left stick) as you approach.
- Utilize armor or elixirs that enhance your stealth if you have them.
- Approach from behind to minimize the chance of startling it.
- Mount and Soothe: Once close enough, press the "A" button to mount. Then, repeatedly press the "L" button (to soothe) as the creature tries to buck you off. Continue pressing "L" until it calms down and accepts you as its rider.
