Visiting the Great Fairies
Once you’ve gathered the necessary materials, you’ll need to visit the Great Fairies scattered across Hyrule. These mystical beings are the key to unlocking the armor’s full potential. Remember that you’ll need to complete the “Serenade to a Great Fairy” questline to unlock all the Great Fairies for upgrades.
The Powerful Set Bonus
The real magic happens after you upgrade each piece of the Fierce Deity Armor twice. At this point, you unlock the Charge Attack Stamina Up set bonus. This bonus reduces the amount of stamina consumed when performing charge attacks, allowing you to unleash devastating spinning attacks for longer periods. Combined with the inherent attack power boost of the armor, this makes you an absolute whirlwind of destruction.
