The Howling Tempests sends you across a burning field to rescue Hylian Captains from monster packs, then up against a Hinox and finally Grimgera, Archfiend of Tempests. Winning it adds three new warriors to your roster: Calamo, Typhan and the Mysterious Construct. Along the way you also unlock Fuse attacks, which spend monster parts to strengthen your blows.
Table of Contents
Before you start
Level 17 is the recommended minimum. You start as the Mysterious Construct with Calamo at your side; Calamo becomes playable after the first Boss Bokoblin, and Typhan becomes available partway through. Bring a Flame Emitter if you have one, because the boss is weak to fire, and keep some monster parts on hand so you can try Fuse attacks as soon as they open.
Clearing the outposts
Free the first Hylian Captain
Advance through the monsters and help the Hylian Captain against the first Moblin, playing as the Mysterious Construct. Early in this stretch the game introduces Fuse attacks. These consume monster parts to enhance your attacks and can break a weak-point gauge quickly, but each use costs materials, so save them for tough enemies.
Capture the second outpost and recruit Calamo
Push on to the first Boss Bokoblin, with the soldier Typhan fighting nearby. Once it falls you can resupply at his camp, and you are told you can now play as Calamo. His fruits infuse his attacks with elements and status effects, so he does not need certain Zonai devices. Your new objective is to rescue the Hylian Captains who are struggling against the monster packs.
Help both marked Captains and unlock Typhan
Support the Hylian Captains as they are overwhelmed, including a second Boss Bokoblin along the way. Once both have been rescued and you return to the camp, you can play as Typhan, a Hylian soldier who fights with sword and shield. You are then asked to help him defeat the enemy reinforcements, which leads to a Hinox. Beat it to draw out Grimgera.
Grimgera boss fight
Grimgera, the winged Archfiend of Tempests, protects his weak point with an ice shield. Anti-air skills, shield-breaker skills and fire attacks drain his weak-point gauge fastest, and a Flame Emitter on a strong attack is a good way to melt the ice.
Rotate your three fighters: Calamo for elemental attacks, Typhan for heavy hits and the Mysterious Construct for melee damage and Sync Strikes. When the gauge breaks, trigger a Weak-Point Smash straight away. A Fan device may help you deflect some of his ranged attacks. Once he is grounded, anti-air attacks stop paying off, so stay on fire and shield-breaker attacks until he falls.
Korok Seeds
Korok Seed 1: glowing spot by the tree
Early in the battle, before Typhan appears, a glowing spot sits at the foot of a large tree beside the dirt path. Interact with it and the Korok pops out.
Korok Seed 2: Korok balloon
After you clear the second group of Hylian Captains’ attackers, a Korok balloon floats over the road. Shoot or strike it to pop it and collect the seed.
Korok Seed 3: crate past the gate
Right after the message that you can play as Typhan, go through the camp gate ahead of you. A Korok is hiding in the crate directly in front of you; break the crate to get the seed.
Treasure chests
There are four chests. Hearty Truffle x7 sits by a burning tree in the central field. Zonaite Steel (Two-Handed) x1 lies on the path beside a stream bank while you rescue the first Hylian Captain. Once the map expands, Zonaite Steel (One-Handed) x1 waits in the northeast among a pack of Blue Bokoblins. The last chest, another Zonaite Steel (One-Handed), is in front of a burning tree behind a large tree in the big central field.
Aside quests
The aside quest list covers the requests each warrior offers, including the ones for Calamo and Typhan.
Rewards and what unlocks next
Beating Grimgera completes the battle (Stage Bonus 350 on the results screen) and adds three new warriors to your roster. The weapon reward is a Zonaite Longsword, and the results also give a Zonaite Steel (One-Handed). If you have matching save data from related games, you can also redeem the Save Data Link rewards. Both Shadows in the Snow and Lanayru Defiled open once this battle is cleared, and you can play them in either order.
