The Vah Medoh Divine Helm can be found inside the North Biron Snowshelf Cave in the Hebra region at the coordinates (-3960, 3267, 0140).

Inside, you’ll need to blow up the breakable rocks to release water into the main chamber to reveal the chest’s secret room.

To solve the North Biron Snowshelf puzzle, you’ll need to fill the cave with water by blowing up the breakable rocks on the walls. Glide up the air stream in the middle of the cave to spot nine breakable rocks on the wall. If we mark the rock above the bird statue as one and count off in a clockwise motion, you’ll need to break rocks three, six, and nine to reveal the room containing the chest. Head inside the room and open the chest to retrieve the Vah Medoh Divine Helm.
