So, you want to unleash the raw power of the Fierce Deity? The coveted Fierce Deity Armor in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a game-changer, offering significant attack boosts and a menacing aesthetic. There are a couple ways to get the armor. If you’re lucky enough to have the Majora’s Mask Link amiibo, scanning it with the amiibo Rune gives you a chance to receive a chest containing a piece of the set. However, there’s another method, and that’s our focus: venturing into the depths of Hyrule and claiming it through sheer grit and exploration! You can find each individual piece of armor in a series of caves across Hyrule.
Hunting Down the Fierce Deity Armor: A Step-by-Step Guide
Forget random drops; let’s talk about acquiring the armor the old-fashioned way: exploration and puzzle-solving. Here’s a breakdown of where to find each piece:
1. Fierce Deity Mask: Akkala Citadel Ruins Summit Cave
Head to the Akkala Citadel Ruins, perched high in the Ulri Mountain region. Specifically, you’re looking for the Akkala Citadel Ruins Summit Cave. The coordinates for the entrance are around (3295, 1492, 0394). Inside the cave, you’ll find a partially submerged area. Look for an ornate carriage with a treasure chest inside – coordinates for the chest are approximately (3299, 1492, 0395). Open it, and the Fierce Deity Mask is yours! Don’t forget to grab the Bubbulfrog, located to the right of the treasure, hidden behind some crates.
2. Fierce Deity Armor: Skull Lake Cave
Make your way to Skull Lake in the Akkala region, easily recognizable by its striking resemblance to a skull. The entrance to the Skull Lake Cave is located in the eye socket of the skull, coordinates around (3327, 3427, 0238). Dive into the lake and find the cave entrance underwater. Inside, you’ll navigate a short but challenging area, ultimately leading to a chest containing the Fierce Deity Armor.
3. Fierce Deity Boots: Ancient Tree Stump Cave
Travel to the Central Hyrule Field area, southwest of Hyrule Field Chasm. This area hosts a large tree with a hollowed-out trunk. The entrance to the Ancient Tree Stump Cave is located inside the tree stump. You can find the entrance around coordinates (-1070, -0548, 0063). Navigate your way through the tree to get your treasure. You will find the Fierce Deity Boots inside a chest in this cave.
Unleashing the Full Potential: Upgrading and Utilizing the Fierce Deity Set
Once you’ve collected all three pieces, the real fun begins! Each piece of the Fierce Deity Armor provides an Attack Up bonus, significantly boosting your damage output. Furthermore, upgrading the armor at a Great Fairy Fountain unlocks even greater power.
Upgrading the Armor:
Each piece can be upgraded four times, increasing its defense and bolstering the Attack Up effect. Here’s what you’ll need:
- First Upgrade: 3 Lynel Hoof, 1 Lynel Horn
- Second Upgrade: 5 Lynel Hoof, 3 Lynel Horn, 1 Gleeok Horn
- Third Upgrade: 5 Lynel Guts, 3 Gleeok Horn
- Fourth Upgrade: 3 White-Maned Lynel Saber Horn, 5 Gleeok Guts
The Set Bonus:
After upgrading all three pieces to at least two-star quality, equipping the full set grants a Charge Attack Stamina Up bonus. This dramatically reduces stamina consumption when performing charged attacks, allowing you to unleash devastating moves for longer.
The Mighty Fierce Deity Sword
But wait, there’s more! With all three pieces of the Fierce Deity Armor equipped, a secret awaits. Return to the Skull Lake Cave, the same one where you found the Fierce Deity Armor. If you’re wearing the full armor set, a previously locked door inside the cave will now be open. Venture into the newly accessible area, and you’ll find a chest containing the legendary Fierce Deity Sword (location: 2617, 1418, 0135).
This powerful two-handed weapon boasts a base attack power of 38, surpassing even the initial power of the Master Sword. While it’s not unbreakable, and can be enhanced with fusion, it’s a formidable weapon in its own right. Once it’s broken, you can purchase it again for Poes from a Bargainer Statue.
