How to get the Froggy Armor set in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Climb in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is hard enough if you don’t have enough stamina and haven’t picked up the Climbing Gear set yet. But when it rains, it becomes almost impossible. Fortunately, there’s an armor set to help you out – the Froggy armor set.

Wearing it gives you one slip resistance, like drinking one sticky elixir do. Getting all three pieces requires a lot of reporting and (frog) leg work.

Us Tears of the Kingdom Froggy Armor set guide tells you when you earn each piece of Froggy Armor, the benefits of wearing it and how to upgrade. Frog hood, Froggy sleeveAnd Froggy leggings.

While you wander Tears of the Kingdom‘s Hyrule and visiting stables, you will see people reading newspapers and talking about the Lucky Clover Gazette taking over (what used to be) Rito Stable.

When you get there, you can pick up a new rush that leads to 12 side missions and adventures. Start by talking to Traysi (and Penn) to get the “Potential Princess Sightings!” they adventure that will make you visit (almost) all the stables in Hyrule.

Complete steps in the “Potential Princess Sightings!” side adventure will earn you rupees, a new fabric for your paraglider and two parts of the Froggy set. If you complete all 12, you get the last piece.


Froggy sleeve

You receive the Froggy sleeve when you’re done four Lucky Clover Gazette Side Adventures.


Froggy leggings

You receive the Froggy leggings when you’re done nine Lucky Clover Gazette Side Adventures.


Froggy Helmet

After completing all 12 “Potential Princess Sightings!” side adventures, go back to the Lucky Clover Gazette and talk to Traysi. She will reward you with the Frog hood.


Froggy Armor set effect, upgrade cost and set bonus

If you wear a piece of the Froggy Armor set, you will get the Slip resistance effect – the same effect you get when you drink a sticky elixir. Wearing multiple parts of the set increases the power of the effect. Slip resistance actually increases the distance you can climb in the rain before sliding back down.

You can upgrade the Froggy Armor set at a Great Fairy. The first round of improvements will cost you 3 sticky lizards (and 10 rupees) per item, and the second needs 5 sticky lizards And 5 Horriblin Horns (and 50 rupees) each. Fortunately, the sticky lizards can be found in almost every cave and the Horriblins are hard to miss when they’re in a cave (you can start at Passeri Greenbelt Cave just west of Lookout Landing).

Once you’ve upgraded the whole set to level two and worn all three pieces, you’ll get the Slip resistant set bonus, meaning no more worrying about slipping while climbing in the rain.
