A Rift in the Gerudo Desert Walkthrough

Head to the Left Entrance of Gerudo Palace

Travel to Gerudo Town, and head towards the entrance of Gerudo Palace that is guarded by two sentries. You will notice another entrance just left of the main one. Go inside that entrance, and talk to the guard on the left.

A short cutscene will play out, and you will be able to begin the Wild Sanstorms Side Quest after the cutscene ends.

Wild Sandstorms Walkthrough

Defeat the Lanmola

	Objectives
1	Travel to the Waypoint East of the Oasis and North of Suthorn Beach. From there, head northwest to see sand bubbling on the surface. Send out Monster Echoes before Lanmola emerges from the sand. It is recommended that you equip the Gerudo Sandals Accessory when battling Lanmola, as the accessory prevents Zelda from sinking into quicksands.
2	Lanmola can be pulled by the tip of its tail using Bind, so make sure that you use Bind whenever Lanmola tries to dive back in the sand. Once pulled, it becomes immobilized and vulnerable to your attacks.
3	Use combatative Monster Echoes such as Darknut Lv. 3 or Lynel to give yourself the advantage in dealing powerful attacks against Lanmola.
4	In addition to your Monster Echoes, you can also equip the Swordfigher Form to help out your echoes in dealing damage to Lanmola. Try using the form when it's immobilized for guaranteed hits.
5	After you've grabbed the rupees and heart container that Lanmola drops upon its defeat, head back to Gerudo Palace and talk to the guard on the left. A cutscene will play out, and you will receive a Gold Sash Accessory from Lady Facette.
