Unveiling the Gerudo Secret: A Comprehensive Guide to the Hidden Club in Tears of the Kingdom
The Gerudo Secret Club in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a coveted location for acquiring unique armor sets. It’s not immediately obvious how to access this hidden establishment, leading many players on a quest for its whereabouts. Instead of trying to find a hidden door or smashing a wall, the secret lies in a clever use of your abilities and knowing where to look. You will want to go to the center of some stone pillars at coordinates -3791, -2919, 0032 in Gerudo Town. Use your Ascend ability to rise through the ceiling. This will place you directly inside the club. Once inside, smash the crate blocking the door to come back through that door any time. This is much easier than searching for the old, outdated way that is detailed on the wall outside the secret entrance.
How to Find and Access the Gerudo Secret Club
The Gerudo Secret Club is not openly advertised, and its entrance is cleverly concealed. Unlike the previous method involving a hidden door through Fashion Passion in Breath of the Wild, the location is entirely different in Tears of the Kingdom. The entrance is a puzzle that requires the use of Link’s Ascend ability.
Locating the Secret Entrance
- Head to Gerudo Town: This is the heart of Gerudo culture and the location of the secret club. It’s situated in the southwest portion of Hyrule, deep within the Gerudo Desert.
- Navigate to the Pillars: Find the area with stone pillars at the coordinates -3791, -2919, 0032.
- Utilize Ascend: Stand in the middle of the pillars, and use Link’s Ascend ability to rise up through the ceiling. This will lead you directly into the Gerudo Secret Club.
Gaining Consistent Access
Once you’ve entered for the first time, you’ll likely notice that a crate is blocking what would have been the original entrance behind the Fashion Passion shop. Smash this crate and you will now be able to use this door to enter in and out of the secret club whenever you want.
What to Expect Inside the Gerudo Secret Club
Upon successfully entering, you’ll discover a shop that offers some unique items that are otherwise hard to get. The club specializes in:
- Armor Sets: The most popular reason to visit, the club offers two unique sets of armor – the Desert Voe Set and the Radiant Set. The Desert Voe set can be purchased here or from Rhondson in Tarrey Town.
- Secret Shopping: It’s a great place to expand your armor collection, provided you have the rupees and luminous stones to spend.
