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

The Frostbite armor is a set with excellent features for your trips through cold environments The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Wearing pieces of this armor infuses Link’s attacks with ice damage when in low temperature environments. If you’re exploring Rito Village and its whereabouts, this set is a great option to make the most of the cold weather.

You’ll likely receive hints on where to find the Frostbite Armor from NPCs or ancient maps scattered around Hyrule. But just like with the Ember Armor, if you want to skip the extra steps and go straight to the treasure, we’ll walk you through where to find it as soon as possible – with detailed information on where to find the treasure. Freezing shirt, frostbite pants, And Freezing headdress.

You can use the Freezing shirt in the Brightcap cave at the coordinates (-3002, 1641, 0201), east of Rito Village. From the Lucky Clover Gazette, follow the main road leading to Tabantha Hills until you are in the same vertical position as the Tama Pond to the north (look at the map for reference). The entrance is slightly to the south and just in front of it are two characters talking.

We kick off with a simple enough cave. Shortly after you enter you are greeted by a Horriblin. To remind is your best friend here, in case the enemy throws a stone at you. But as usual, an arrow to the head works just fine to stun them and drop them to the ground.

Then we continue the smackdown with a Like Like. You can run through it and ignore it if you want, or wait for it to reveal its tongue so you can attack and stun it.

There really isn’t much more than that in terms of combat. Keep making your way through the cave and you’ll eventually be a few steps away from the treasure.

As a final obstacle, there are vines covering the chest area. If you have a fire fruit, it will burn them out and clear the path for you. If not, you can just jump the wall on either side and climb to the other end.

Once you have access to the chest, go ahead and grab the Freezing shirt inside. The armor adds 2 defense and grants cold-weather attacks in low-temperature environments.

If you’re curious about the two characters chatting just outside the cave, they’ll ask for 10 brightcaps. You can easily pick these up in the cave if you don’t already have that many with you. The reward is a Spicy Tomato Mushroom Stew, which offers five and a half minutes of cold resistance. This completes the “Cave Mushrooms that Grow” side quest.

You can use the Frostbite pants in the Hebra Headspring cave at the coordinates (-2897, 2511, 0393)found at the northern end of Hebra Headspring, a river bank northeast of Hebra Plunge, south of the Hebra Mountains.

If you follow the river, you will end up in a cave. In terms of enemies, you only have to worry about two Ice Keeses, which you can take out with melee attacks when they get close, or use your arrows from afar.

The problem here is getting to the other side of the cave where the treasure room is. I recommend jumping to the vertical structures, as Link can hold the sections close to the top that don’t have ice.

Then jump and paraglide to the other side. Next, I threw a white chuchu jelly into the water to create an ice platform (an ice fruit will do the job just fine too), right under the wall leading to the treasure room.

From there I waited a while as the water stream slowly moved the ice platform towards Link. Then I used To remind to jump on it and get close to the wall without touching the water (which will hurt Link because of the low temperature). Keep in mind that the ice platform won’t last forever, so as soon as you get close to the wall, jump and grab.

Although the ice segment of the wall isn’t suitable for Link to grab onto properly, he can grab onto it for a few seconds. This gave me enough time to jump to the treasure room.

Once you get there, opening the chest will net you the net Frostbite pants. This armor piece has 2 defense and grants cold-weather attacks in low-temperature environments.

Frostbite Armor Headpiece Location

You can use the Freezing shirt in the Lake Kilsie cave at the coordinates (-3930, 2859, -0015), on the north side of Lake Kilsie. The location is west of the Hebra Mountains and northwest of Rito Village.

It’s quite tricky to get here – you have to go down to the ground floor to get to the entrance. I recommend lifting yourself up with the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower and then using your paraglider to reach the highest height possible.

Then once you get close to the cave site, simply skydive from wherever you are, and as you get close, slowly approach the lake with your paraglider.

A Horriblin will greet you almost immediately, which is annoying. Don’t forget to use To remind and any ranged attacks you have.

Now the inside of the cave has a breach in the ground that is constantly releasing air. This is great for lifting yourself up using your paraglider.

The room you want to go to is on the right side of the cave, seen above. There are ice stalactites blocking the entrance, but you can remove them by combining a fire fruit with an arrow. Or if you have a bomb flower, you can get rid of them and take out the next obstacle with one shot.

Next is a rock wall. If you haven’t used a bombflower before, feel free to use any stone-fused weapon to crush it (there are some stones around in case you need a new one).

Once in the treasure room, open the chest to reveal the Freezing headdress and complete the set. This armor grants 2 defense, as well as cold-weather attacks in low-temperature environments. That’s all for the Frostbite Armor set!
