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

The Yiga armor is a peculiar set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Wearing pieces of this armor increases Link’s stealth, but by far its biggest appeal is that you can impersonate a Yiga Clan member (if you wear all three pieces).

You’ll likely receive hints on where to find the Yiga armor from NPCs or ancient maps scattered around Hyrule. Or simply by coming across the wrong cave at the wrong time. But if you want to skip the busy work and go straight to the treasure, we’ll explain where to find it as soon as possible — with detailed information about the treasure’s locations. Yiga armor, yiga tights, And Yiga Mask.

Yiga Armor chestpiece location

You can use the Yiga armor in a Yiga Clan hideout in the Akkala Highlands. However, to storm the place, you must enter through the depths.

I recommend going to the East Akkala Plains Chasm at the coordinates (3986, 2155, 0021). To get there, you can use the nearby Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower.

From there you need to head northeast. The Akinatanis Lightroot can help dislodge the map a bit, located northwest of where you land. Also watch out for the Obsidian Frox – get up and fight or run for it.

After activating the lightroot, resume your route to the northeast. It won’t be long before you can see another lightroot in the distance, which we’ll use as a reference.

As you head towards it, you’ll see a large area of ​​darkness, as well as a Zonai device post. Don’t forget to keep your resistance to gloom under control, or just use your paraglider for as long as you can to get back on safe ground.

This will take you to the Ui-ihcoj Lightroot. When you activate it, you can see a monolith in the distance – that is the location of the armor. Yeah, sort of. You will see it.

It can be tricky to get to the site, as the monolith is surrounded by a huge lake. However, if you take the path to the right, you can climb it until you are close enough to use your paraglider and land safely.

Then once you’re under the monolith, use ascend. Keep in mind that you are literally going to a Yiga Clan hideout.

You only have to fight two of them. Honestly, it’s not a tough fight. I focused on the smaller Yiga member first and then on the larger one. He has a two-handed weapon that can hit hard, but it’s easy to dodge. If you’re carrying arrows, keeping your distance with ranged attacks is also a good tactic.

When you’re done, re-enter the hideout and talk to Konba. After a short conversation you will get the Yiga Armor. This armor piece adds 1 defense and gives you a stealth boost.

You can use the Yiga leggings in the Yiga Clan Maritta Branch, a cave in Aldor Foothills at the coordinates (-0643, 2032, 0157), located southeast of the Snowfield Stable on the Tabantha Tundra and west of the Great Hyrule Forest. There is no direct tower for the location, but either Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower or Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower will get you close enough.

Once you’re in the cave, you’ll find two Yiga Clan members to wrestle with. If you have the chest piece first, the fight is pretty much the same.

After you disable both of them, you need to use them To take off to go to a secret room where the kidnapped tailor is waiting to be rescued.

Stand next to the table of materials in the center of the cave where the Yiga Clan enemies were when you first entered, face the entrance and aim at the ceiling.

You see a hole that leads to a kind of attic. There are also some stones with markings on the ground indicating the spot. Use Ascend anywhere around the hole and go to the tailor.

After a short conversation you get the Yiga leggings. This armor piece adds 1 defense and grants stealth to Link.

You can use the Yiga Mask in an unnamed Yiga Clan hut at the coordinates (-0800, -2255, 0087), located northwest of Lake Hylia in the Faron region. You can use the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower or the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower to get closer. If you take a closer look at the map, you can find the hut south of the Temple of Time Ruins, close to the Great Plateau. If you have come across the Great Plateau South Chasm, it is also northeast of the location.

The hideout (which isn’t exactly hidden…) is protected by two spiked fences. There are platforms everywhere where with a quick jump and the help of your paraglider you can get around at least one of the fences.

Then there are entrances open around the second gate. Just use one of them and try to avoid the spikes. They hurt.

From here you need to go ahead and knock on the door of the cabin. If you need a moment to change your armor or heal yourself, don’t interact with the door until you’re completely done.

Again two Yiga Clan members appear. Take them out and, when you’re done, enter the cabin.

You will find the third and last tailor. After a short chat you will be in possession of the Yiga mask. This armor adds 1 defense and grants stealth to Link.

That’s all for the Yiga Armor set! From now on you can mask yourself among other members of the clan when wearing the full set.
