00:00Welcome to MojoPlays, and today we're looking back at the hardest items, armor sets, and weapons to earn in The Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom.
00:25But before we dive in, we publish new content all week long.
00:29So be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.
00:34Zant's Helmet
00:36In the depths are several coliseums that provide combat challenges, most of which don't pose too big a threat.
00:43In the Eldon Canyon depths sits the Scorching Coliseum, which is a little trickier than most others.
00:49Being under a volcano means you have to deal with the possible danger of burning,
00:54so you have to use proper armor or meals instead of those that give a defensive or offensive boost you may want.
01:00You face five fights of gloom-covered moblins, two red, two blue, two black, one silver, and then a group of four, one of each variant.
01:09The difficulty depends on how early you find this place, and getting through it earns you Zant's Helmet,
01:15highly useful since it grants Link the unfreezable effect when worn.
01:26Zonite Armor Set
01:28This armor set reduces how much of your battery you use when operating Zonite devices.
01:33Since it's so useful for one of the most defining features of the game, each piece is well hidden.
01:39You'll find them all on Sky Islands, but reaching them can be tricky due to how far apart they're placed from other islands that are more easily reached.
01:47The Shen Guards are on the Akala Sky Mine, inside the giant sphere Link must launch himself towards.
01:53The Waste Guard is found on the Zonite Forge Island, near the West Nikluda Sky Archipelago.
01:58It's in a secret area, and requires some careful flying, using fans, and diving through a laser field to even get near.
02:06Finally, the helm is on Lightcast Island, near the West Hebra Sky Archipelago.
02:11It's the hardest of the three to reach, since it's so high up in the sky, and requires solving a mirror puzzle to get its reward.
02:25Fierce Deity Sword
02:26The Fierce Deity Sword is one of the best two-handed weapons in the game, but you'll have to work for it.
02:32You begin the hunt by speaking with Domodak and Prisin in front of the Cephala Lake Cave in the Elden region.
02:38Their short quest earns you a note from the legendary bandit Misko, which lists three riddles that each lead you to a piece of the Fierce Deity armor set.
02:47The armor is inside the Akala Citadel Ruins Summit Cave, found near a Thunderglioc and Gloomspawn.
02:54The mask is down the Skull Lake Cave, guarded by a host of Stal enemies.
02:59Finally, the boots are in the ancient Tree Stump Cave in Hyrule Field.
03:03Only after having gotten the set can Link return to the Cephala Lake Cave, dressed like the Fierce Deity, and claim his prize.
03:11Elemental Lizalfos Tales
03:20This may seem like an odd pick, but for those of us who are completionists, Elemental Lizalfos Tales are a chore to grind for.
03:29Lizalfos will drop horns, talons, and tails, which can be used in meals and armor upgrades.
03:35Tails are much less likely to drop than the other two, but for some reason, Nintendo made it so multiple armor sets require them at certain levels for upgrading.
03:46And not just one at a time. Sometimes, each piece in a three piece set will require ten.
03:54Hunting for fire, ice, and electric tails has become the bane of existence for many players, myself included.
04:01The drop rate is just so low, making these the most painfully tedious materials to farm.
04:07Tunic of Memories
04:10Once you have the ability to get the Tunic of Memories, Link's Champion Tunic from Breath of the Wild, getting it isn't hard.
04:16It's just reaching that point that's a bit of a pain.
04:20You can buy it from one of the Bargainer Statues in the Depths for 400 Po-Souls.
04:25Except, in order for them to offer it, you must first have found all seven of them.
04:30That's not a high number, but the Depths can often be a daunting place to explore.
04:35Navigation is difficult due to the layout, dim lighting, and tendency for everything to be covered in gloom.
04:42Plus, the Bargainer Statues also tend to blend in with their surroundings.
04:54Evil Spirit Armor Set
04:56The three Lome Labyrinths provided decent challenges in Breath of the Wild, perhaps even more so in the sequel.
05:03Found by the Akala Ancient Tech Lab in the Gerudo Wasteland and the far north of the Hebra region, Link navigates gloom-covered corridors to make it to the center.
05:13Once he does, it activates a counterpart in the sky.
05:16In these, he must float through the mazes in search of several switches, and he then has to dive all the way to the depths and face the Flux Construct 3 that awaits him.
05:27Each of these three challenges earns him a piece of the Evil Armor Set.
05:30While not too hard on their own, most players likely won't finish them until much later in the game due to how spread out they are.
05:38Monster Medals
05:45Monster Medals
05:46There are six types of overworld mini-bosses that, when Link defeats all of them at least once, will get him a medal from Graylins at Lookout Landing.
05:55The medals don't do anything or grant any benefit, just act as completionist rewards.
06:01We're lumping them all together, but some are obviously easier than others.
06:05The easiest to get is for Muldugas, since there are only four in the game and they're all found in Gerudo Desert.
06:11The others are much more tedious.
06:14There are 87 Stone Taluses and 69 Hinoxes.
06:19While those fights are pretty easy, that's still a lot of monsters to track down.
06:25That's not to mention the 40 Froxes, 35 Flux Constructs, and 14 Gleox, the last of which make for pretty tough challenges.
06:34Scimitar of the Seven and Daybreaker
06:37After completing the story quests of the main four sages, certain NPCs can craft a weapon of one of the champions from Breath of the Wild.
06:45For each one, they're created using a specific weapon as a base, three diamonds, and five pieces of flint, or wood in the case of Revali's bow.
06:55Diamonds aren't exactly easy to come by, nor are the specific weapons.
06:59However, Urbosa's armaments, Scimitar of the Seven and Daybreaker, edge out the others in terms of difficulty for two reasons.
07:06They're two items instead of one, so you're required to track down both a Gerudo Scimitar and Shield.
07:13And it's the only case that's preceded by a side quest, where Link must save the Blacksmith from a Mulduga.
07:19Personally, the Scimitar is also the one I go back for most frequently after it breaks, since it can reach some of the highest damage numbers when fused with the right materials.
07:29But that just means more diamond farming.
07:33Froggy Armor Set
07:39One of the most worthwhile quests you can follow in Tears of the Kingdom is potential princess sightings.
07:45Pen is one of the best side characters, each individual quest is fun, and there are some great rewards to earn along the way.
07:53That doesn't change the fact that it's incredibly long and requires a lot of dedication.
07:58Link teams up with the Rita Reporter to track down twelve different stories, each found at a different stable across Hyrule.
08:06Most of the time, you'll get paid for your work, but you get a piece of the Froggy Armor Set after you complete the fourth, ninth, and final quests.
08:14It's worth doing for multiple reasons, including the slip resistance the set gives you while climbing wet walls, or slip proof after it's upgraded twice.
08:24Linking to the Shirt
08:37Dispelling Darkness Metal
08:39As I said earlier, exploring the depths can be a daunting task.
08:43Interacting with light routes can make it easier, since they literally light up the space around them.
08:48Still, the depths are the same size as the surface, and some of the areas can get pretty tricky to navigate.
08:55If you interact with every light route, of which there are 120, you do get a reward.
09:01Well, a metal that doesn't do anything, but a reward nonetheless.
09:05Since the depths mirror the surface, you can use shrines you've already found as a map to reach light routes.
09:12Still, 120 obviously isn't a small number.
09:21Hestu's Gift
09:22The most time-consuming item in Tears of the Kingdom is, without a doubt, Hestu's Gift.
09:35Nintendo made getting this a little better than it was in Breath of the Wild.
09:40Link will often come across stranded, traveling Koroks in need of reaching their friends.
09:45You can fuse together whatever items are lying around to get them there, and these types of Koroks always lead to two seeds instead of one.
09:53Still, there are a ton more just hiding around the overworld.
10:02Collecting them expands your inventory, while all of them gets you a shiny gold piece of crap from Hestu.
10:08With 1,000 seeds in total, it's probably the most frequent hurdle stopping players from reaching that 100%.
10:17Dusk Bow
10:22Most of the legendary weapons in Tears of the Kingdom, those that reference past games in the series,
10:36are found in the depths after discovering maps on Sky Islands.
10:41Setting your sensor to notify you if you're near a treasure chest is also a good way to go about finding them.
10:46One of the ones that isn't found this way is the Dusk Bow, an homage to Zelda's bow in Twilight Princess.
11:04You can find the weapon in Hyrule Castle, but it isn't inside a chest, nor is it in a place most might think to look.
11:11It's in a destroyed section at the top of the tallest tower, either requiring you to skydive or climb to it.
11:18Honestly, it's one of the last legendary weapons I got, because I had no idea it was there.
11:24Robby's Fabric
11:36Robby's Fabric
11:37Hey!
11:38Ah!
11:39There are a few paraglider fabrics that take a lot of effort to unlock.
11:43In the case of Robby, the eccentric scientist in Hateno Village, it's more tedious than actually hard, but still takes an absurd amount of time.
11:58In order to get this, you have to completely fill out the Hyrule Compendium.
12:09That means pictures of every monster, material, animal, and piece of equipment found across the game.
12:15Of course, you can pay him for pictures to shorten the time, but each one costs 100 rupees.
12:21There are still a few pictures you can't get this way of elite enemies, silver monsters and bosses, which he'll sell at 500 rupees each only after you've completed the story.
12:33All's Well
12:46There are plenty of wells to be found in Hyrule.
12:54Fifty-eight to be exact.
12:56And after Link meets the NPC, Pharah, who's hiding in a random well, she'll head to Lookout Landing and give him the task of tracking the rest of them down.
13:06If you don't just feel like looking up a map, you can set your sensor to search for wells, which are usually found near stables and ruins.
13:14This is another one that doesn't necessarily test your skills, instead being difficult because of the time commitment.
13:30Pharah will give Link 10 rupees for each new well he discovers, but finding them all earns him the All's Well item, a little snow globe with a well inside of it.
13:40Dusk Claymore
13:57Here we have another weapon that references Twilight Princess.
14:01If Link heads to the Typhlo Ruins near the Great Hyrule Forest, he'll meet K'Zool, a researcher investigating the area.
14:08He'll point Link towards four stone slabs, each with a riddle on it.
14:12In order to fully solve them, you'll need to first beat the four main dungeons so that Link can gain abilities from the Sages, which is a big reason why the Dusk Claymore earns its spot.
14:24The riddles aren't too tricky, but do take some investigating on your part of the entire area.
14:43Completing each one gets you some valuable gems, but doing all of them leads to the powerful Two-Handed Sword, a reference to Ganondorf's appearance in Twilight Princess.
14:54Majora's Mask
15:01Majora's Mask
15:03Most of the combat encounters in the underground Coliseums aren't too bad.
15:08By far the hardest of these is the Floating Coliseum, found directly beneath the Coliseum Ruins on the surface.
15:21Here, Link must face five Lynels in a row, progressing in difficulty from the basic red-colored version up to the armored silver one.
15:30An extra layer of difficulty comes from the fact that they're also covered in gloom, taking away Link's hearts with each hit, unless he has the proper meals to counteract the status effect.
15:48It's worth the effort, though, as it gets you Majora's Mask, which makes it harder for most enemies to notice and attack you while wearing it.
15:55Armor of Awakening Set
16:11Clearly, there's a lot of armor to track down in Tears of the Kingdom, but the Armor of Awakening is harder to find than most others.
16:19It requires following a series of riddles left by the great bandit Misko.
16:24The first riddle is found in Gorombi River Cave, in the Elden region.
16:28This leads you to a spot in the Tabantha Frontier, guarded by a Flame Gliok, which houses the Tunic of Awakening and the next riddle.
16:44Then it's off to the Coliseum Ruins and a Thunder Gliok this time.
16:48After defeating it and solving the puzzle left by Misko, you'll get the Trousers and the final riddle.
16:54This leads you to the Thundra Plateau, where you must combine several logs and stick them to the southern pillar so that the shadow reaches the northern one.
17:02Doing so opens the cave to the mask, letting you resemble the hero of 2019's Link's Awakening.
17:09Addison's Fabric
17:16A new NPC in Tears of the Kingdom is Addison.
17:27Biggest fan of Hudson and always in need of help putting up signs.
17:32Doing these little puzzles is usually fun and gets you some minor rewards.
17:36But doing 81 of them, which is how many there are in the game, is a pretty big ask.
17:42While some are easy to find on the side of the road, others are off the beaten path.
17:59And it isn't as if they get marked off on your map or have a way to search for them with your Pura Pad.
18:05But if you're feeling up to it, completing them all will make Addison so happy, he'll give you his own special fabric for your paraglider.
18:14Colton's Fabric
18:20Colton is even stranger than his brother Kilton, which is saying quite a lot.
18:31With dreams of transforming into a Bloopy, he enlists Link to track down and kill all Bubble Frogs and collect the gems they leave behind.
18:40Bubble Frogs can only be found in caves, of which there are 147.
18:46Boy, that is a lot of spelunking.
18:50You can light up caves at cherry blossom trees, though doing so will still light up caves you've already been to.
19:06You can also set your Pura Pad to sense Bubble Frogs, but even that might go off far away from the actual entrances in a lot of cases.
19:15But if you want to grant Colton's wish and gain his fabric, you better get to exploring.
19:22Ancient Heroes Aspect
19:33Given that it's a sequel, it's unsurprising that Tears of the Kingdom features more shrines than Breath of the Wild.
19:43There are 152 across the surface and sky.
19:48Some of them are simply a Rauru's blessing, challenging you with reaching them by obstacles, strong enemies, or transporting a giant crystal to the proper spot.
19:58However, 152 is still a pretty big number.
20:03And the ones that take away Link's gear and weapons can be a particular pain.
20:14However, if you put in the work and conquer all of them, you'll earn the Ancient Heroes Aspect.
20:19Not only does it make Link resemble Vazoni Warrior who fought Calamity Ganon 10,000 years before Breath of the Wild,
20:26but it has some of the highest possible defense in the game.
20:38Have you 100%ed Tears of the Kingdom yet?
20:41Are there any tough items we left off?
20:43Share your thoughts in the comments, and we'll see you next time.
20:46We'll see you next time.
