How to Unlock Sooga

# Objective
1
Use the Battle Log
Make sure to keep an eye on the other Yiga Blademasters as enemies will continuously spawn in succeeding areas. It is recommended to use the Battle Log to detect the positions of struggling allies. There are some allies that will deviate from the route and face Moblins that might defeat them so constantly look at the map. A helpful tip is to only focus on the bold red dot enemies.
2
Proceed with Defeating Enemies
After progressing the quest, there will be a Yiga Blademaster that will close the gate behind him, trapping him in a different area. Do not mind this first and proceed forward with defeating enemies to protect your allies. Defeat the succeeding enemies as fast as you can to stop the trapped Blademaster from taking too much damage.
3

Go Back to the Gate
Once the objective “Defeat the Hollows (3)” appears go back to the area where the Blademaster closed the gate. This will trigger dialogue for Master Kohga to tell him to unlock it.
4
Assist the Blademaster
Proceed past the gate to where the Hollow in the south east area of the map is marked. Assist the Blademaster by defeating the enemies to protect him. Do not worry about leaving your other allies first as some of them will respawn in this area later on.
5
Defeat Thunder and Wind Blight Ganons First
Once you defeat the remaining hollows, the quest will prompt you to defeat the Fire Blight and Water Blight Ganons marked yellow on the map. Do not head to either of those areas. Make sure to head to the areas marked with bold red circles to defeat the Thunder Blight and Wind Blight first. After which Sooga will become playable and now you can proceed with finishing the last objectives of defeating the Fire Blight Ganon and Water Blight Ganon.
