In EX The Yiga Clan’s Retreat you can unlock Sooga as a playable character. To do this, Master Kohga must get through the battle with all allies: Nobody is allowed to flee. This also includes the Yiga officer who closes a gate behind you and stays behind. His sacrifice is avoidable.
You need the expansion pass with Guardian of Remembrance. The Battle of Crenel Peak becomes accessible after the DLC missions EX Battle for Kakariko Village and EX Liberate the Ancient Lab. The recommended level is 53. Upgrade Master Kohga’s weapon beforehand in the Blacksmith so that you can quickly relieve threatened allies.
Secure the withdrawal with Master Kohga
The Yiga start already battered. Stick with the allies and eliminate the large enemies blocking their path. First you fight against Fire Moblins and other elemental opponents. When the group splits up, pay particular attention to alerts about the remaining fighters. A quick march to the next objective will not help you if an ally behind you is already defeated.
At the water’s edge, a Malice Moblin is blocking the way. Defeat him and retreat. A Yiga officer stays behind to stop the pursuers and closes the gate behind the group. Remember this place in the southeast: You have to go back there again. An energy trail further along the path gives Master Kohga access to the Sheikah Runes.
Reopen the closed gate
Continue on the eastern wooden walkway to the outpost two Ice Moblins. Appear after their victory Link mirages, including one with the Yiga officer who was left alone. Now return to the closed gate to the southeast immediately. Approach the gate and wait for the short dialogue:Master Kohga calls for it to be reopened.
Go in and defeat the strong enemies near the officer before his remaining energy is used up. Then clear away the remaining illusions and the next threats on the escape route. Continue to keep all allies alive. The rescued member at the gate is the easily overlooked prerequisite; After that you are still not allowed to lose another fighter.
Unlock the Final Battles and Sooga’s
On the further route a silver Silver Lynel blocks the path. Defeat him and help the allies who are being harassed by the other major enemies. Windblight Ganon and Thunderblight Ganon also appear in the north. You don’t have to force these two optional fights to unlock Sooga. For the first successful rescue run, follow the alternate route to the new destination.
Fireblight Ganon and Waterblight Ganon oppose you there. If all allies have been saved by then, Sooga supports the fight. Use the displayed rune counters and attack the opened weak points. Complete the entire battle. The completed hidden Memory Quest then permanently unlocks Sooga.
Complete the Three Memory Quests
Defeat all Blight Ganons: The optional encounters with Windblight Ganon and Thunderblight Ganon in the north also count for this task. If you only want to unlock Sooga initially, you can repeat this task in one go. Fireblight Ganon and Waterblight Ganon alone are not enough for them.
Landing a rune counter against a curse: Wait for the rune icon to appear and use the appropriate Sheikah Rune during the announced attack. A normal attack or the mere use of a rune outside this window does not satisfy the counterattack condition.
Save all allies from defeat: This is the task initially hidden with question marks and at the same time the prerequisite for Sooga. Check the final evaluation at the end. If you don’t succeed, the officer behind the gate has usually already been defeated before you return.
Continue playing with Sooga
After unlocking, Sooga’s training and his improvement tasks appear. In training you first defeat 300 practice opponents and then the three Yiga officers. Then go through his available tasks on the map for extra hearts, longer combos, and the special attack bar.
Purah & Robbie You can get it another way: Complete the eight story battles of Guardian of Remembrance, last EX Guardian of Remembrance. For this duo you don’t need to complete all 24 Memory Quests. The Battle-Tested Guardian is, however, via the Royal Ancient Lab unlocked. The characters from the basic game and their requirements are included all 18 basic game figures; the Walkthrough to Age of Calamity takes you back to the main battles.
