- If you prefer close combat, we advise you to run into the fort, deal a couple of blows, and retreat. Most of these monsters do not leave their fort. So you can restore your health and stamina by going outside the walls.

- Once all the monsters are dead, find the wooden cage and lift it with the Ultrahand to free the prisoner. Talk to the NPC Hino and return to Zora’s Domain.
- Finally, talk to Gaddison again to tell him about your win, after which you will complete The Fort at Ja’abu Ridge side quest. And as a reward for your efforts, you will receive 100 Rupees.
