Updated by Wyatt Grondin on November 17th, 2023:Better coordinates that match the exact mouth of the caves have been added, as well as better pictures of the maps, and a video clip showcasing the benefits granted by wearing the full set.
Where To Find The Climbing Gear
You’ll find the chest piece section of your Climbing Gear ina cave called North Hyrule Plain Cave at coordinates -1187, 0639, 0071.you may have this spot mapped out for your in advance if you come across an NPC named Meeshy, as she’ll tell you the legend ofMisko and his treasure. You do not need to start this quest to get the armor, though, as going into the cave at any time will allow you to open the treasure chest containing the piece of armor.
Along with the basic cave enemies and a couple of ponds filled with water, the cave is full of climbable surfaces you’ll have to traverse until you’re able to reach the middle.Do not leave the cave; what you’re looking for is a waterfall holding a secret passage behind it.There will be spiked pieces of wood sticking out of the walls and glowing purple mushrooms to help guide you to the correct spot.
Open the treasure chest behind the waterfall to earn theClimbing Gear.This piece of armor will make you climb up faster, meaning you can get a further distance while wasting less stamina. This also means players with a bit less patience don’t have to spam the jump button as often when climbing a tall surface. Overall this minor buff will drastically improve your climbing even without the rest of the set.
Where To Find The Climber’s Bandana
You’ll be heading a good distance away from North Hyrule for this next piece; it’s in the same region asthe Zora’s Domain,and near the area you’ll first help Prince Sidon. You’ll findPloymus Mountain Cave at coordinates 3663, 0539, 0272.
Prepare for this one well. On paper, all you have to do isclimb to the top of the cave.This will be a lot harder than it sounds becausethe cave walls are wet.Link is going to slide down these walls a lot, even if you know how to deal with damp climbing surfaces.
If you already have theFroggy Armor, this cave may not be an issue for you in the slightest. If you don’t,you’ll have to rely on Sticky Elixirs.The Sticky Elixir is a potion that, when drunk, claims will allow you to climb up walls in the rain without issue. These Elixirs are crafted bycooking a Sticky Lizard of Frog in a pot with monster parts.The one shown in the picture had a high rating and a long time limit, but Link still occasionally slipped down a bit.The Elixirs are not perfect, so be sure to stop on platforms when you can.The Elixirs are still your best bet as Link will slide far less often and lose far less stamina, but that said,also use Ascend when under other platforms, just not when it lets you back outside.
As stated, once you reach the very top, you will reach a treasure chest containing the Climber’s Bandana. Just like the main gear, just having this piece increases your climbing speed by a surprising amount, and having both together will make many surfaces a breeze.
The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - How To Get The Scimitar Of The Seven
Follow this guide to acquire the legendary Gerudo arms, the Scimitar of the Seven and Daybreaker, in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Where To Find The Climbing Boots
Your leggings will be found in a cave calledUpland Zorana Byroad at coordinates 2702, 0481, 0204.Get ready to tread water.
There are a bunch of vines covering the entrance to this cave. Normally, you may take out vines by setting them on fire, but like in Ploymus Mountain Cave,this cave is dripping wet and you cannot set anything on fire.Take a slashing weapon and cut through the vines instead.
Your first obstacle is taking on a group of Horriblins, but this will be easier than most times you’ll face them.Horriblins instantly drown in deeper water, so they headshot with them an arrow, and they will fall into the water below, which kills them.Once you are done, walk deeper into the cave.
The only other monster type for this cave isthe Rock-Like, a Like-Like covered in protective rocks.You cannot damage them until their armor is broken, which can be done byusing Rewind on a boulder they shoot at you or by throwing a Bombflower at them.There are a couple of Rock-Likes throughout the cave, so deal with them as you need to.
As you travel further into the cave, you’ll find more vines to cut down. One such set will be in the water, too deep for Link to swim. As stated earlier,the dampness of the cave means you may’t shoot a fire arrow to burn the vines.The intended method is touse Ultrahand on the boulder in the water and move it close to make a platform,but as you can see,you can also use ice to freeze a platform and cut the vines while standing on that instead.
Eventually, you’ll reach a spot that does not look like a split path,so keep an eye out for both Misko’s spiked wood signs and this submerged boulder.
They both will show there’s a path just to the left of where you entered; inthe picture, Link first went to the other side, which leads to the rest of the cave.For the Boots, you’ll want to go down this secret path instead.
You’re looking for these ruins, and then you’ll want to head tothe back.
Use Ultrahand on this dam gate to lower the water.
Then goto the back right of the room to head to the passage under these stairs.
This will complete your armor set.
