Mastering Disguise: Obtaining the Bokoblin Mask in Tears of the Kingdom
So, you’re after the Bokoblin Mask in Tears of the Kingdom? A wise choice, adventurer! This crafty piece of headgear allows you to blend (somewhat) seamlessly into Bokoblin camps, offering a temporary respite from their aggressive advances and a unique perspective on their… well, unique society. Forget about brute force for a moment. With this mask, you will have the opportunity for stealth and intrigue.
The path to acquiring this coveted mask involves assisting Kolton, Kilton’s brother. You’ll need to embark on The Hunt for Bubbul Gems! Side Adventure which is triggered by finding Kolton who will reward you for collecting Bubbul Gems. The Bokoblin Mask is the very first reward Kolton gives you. You obtain the mask from Kolton after giving him one Bubbul Gem.
Embarking on The Hunt for Bubbul Gems!
Finding Kolton
The adventure begins near Woodland Stable in Eldin. Look for Kilton and Kolton outside a cave north of Pico Pond. Kilton will give you directions to his brother’s shop. Kolton’s glowing balloon cart is visible on a nearby hill at coordinates 3662, 2064, 0168.
The Bubbul Gem Exchange
Bubbul Gems are dropped by Bubbulfrogs, those shimmering blue amphibians found within caves. If you need one immediately, enter the cave behind Kolton and Kilton. Eliminate the Bubbulfrog and claim your gem. Return to Kolton and offer him the Bubbul Gem. As a reward, you’ll be given the Bokoblin Mask!
Understanding the Bokoblin Mask
The Bokoblin Mask is part of a collection of monster masks in Tears of the Kingdom. While wearing the Bokoblin Mask, Bokoblins will see you as one of their own, decreasing the chances that they’ll attack you. While you’re wearing the mask, they may even approach you with curiosity. Lynels will eventually notice you, though. This provides opportunities to infiltrate Bokoblin encampments, observe their behavior, and even plan strategic attacks. It’s important to remember that the disguise isn’t perfect. Aggressive actions or prolonged proximity may still trigger an attack.
FAQs: Delving Deeper into Masks and Monsters
1. Where can I find more Bubbul Gems?
Bubbulfrogs inhabit nearly every cave in Hyrule. Explore thoroughly, and listen for their distinctive croaking. The game’s map will also mark completed caves with a check mark, which can help you keep track of your progress. Make sure to explore caves that don’t have a checkmark if you need Bubbul Gems.
2. What other masks can I obtain in Tears of the Kingdom?
Besides the Bokoblin Mask, you can acquire the Horriblin Mask and the Moblin Mask from Kolton by giving him Bubbul Gems. You can also find Majora’s Mask in the Floating Coliseum in The Depths after defeating waves of Lynels.
3. How do I get the Horriblin Mask?
After finding Kolton, Kilton’s brother, and completing his first quest, you will have the opportunity to unlock the Horriblin Mask. You need to have given him a total of 28 Bubbul Gems to unlock the Horriblin Mask. This can be a time-consuming quest.
4. Where is Kilton in Tears of the Kingdom?
Kilton can be found at the northernmost part of Tarrey Town at coordinates 3961, 1642, 0128. He will provide directions to Kolton’s shop. He has valuable information, so you should find him and talk to him.
5. What does Majora’s Mask do in Tears of the Kingdom?
While wearing Majora’s Mask, most standard enemies in the world will not attack Link and will instead approach him with curiosity. This includes Bokoblins, Lizalfos, Moblins, and even Lynels, though the latter will quickly realize you are an imposter.
6. Where can I find Majora’s Mask in Tears of the Kingdom?
You can find Majora’s Mask in the Floating Coliseum at coordinates -1551, -1263, -0499, located immediately to the northeast of the Mu-ustust Lightroot. You will need to defeat waves of Lynels to unlock the chest that contains the mask.
7. Does the Majora’s Mask fool Lynels?
The Majora’s Mask does have an affect on Lynels. Even a White-Maned Lynel went back on patrol after noticing the player with the mask and walking past a certain distance away. Without the mask, the White-Maned ones normally pull their bow out and shoot. However, they will quickly realize you are an imposter and become aggressive towards you.
8. Who is Kilton?
In Breath of the Wild, Kilton ran the Fang and Bone shop, a place where Link could buy unique gear made out of monster parts in exchange for a special currency called Mon. In Tears of the Kingdom, Kilton comes back, but this time it is his brother Kolton who’ll be running a special shop of his own. They’re both eccentric and interesting characters.
9. What is the Zonaite Armor, and why is it considered good?
The Zonaite Armor is one of the best sets in the game, primarily due to its energy recharge bonus for Zonai devices. This allows for extended use of powerful contraptions, making exploration and combat significantly easier.
10. What is the Fierce Deity Armor, and why is it considered good?
The Fierce Deity Armor is another top-tier set, providing a substantial attack boost that is essential for quickly dispatching enemies, especially in challenging encounters.

The Glide Armor is an extremely useful set that enhances your gliding and skydiving abilities. It allows for quicker descent and increased mobility while in the air.
12. Are there any downsides to wearing monster masks?
While monster masks offer significant advantages, they do have limitations. Enemies may still become suspicious if you get too close or act aggressively. Also, they don’t work on all enemy types.
13. Is it possible for Zelda to turn back into a Hylian after becoming a dragon?
While Mineru does tell Zelda that the act of draconification is irreversible, she’s able to become human again after Link defeats Ganondorf. It would appear that defeating Ganon breaks the spell and transforms Zelda back into a Hylian.
14. What happens if I challenge Ganondorf without the Sages?
If you go to Ganondorf without the Sages, you will have to beat all the monster waves on your own. Right after the last wave, you have to beat all five dungeon bosses and puppet Ganon. If you die at any point, you have to start back before the first monster wave.
15. How do I get the Yiga Armor set?
To get the final piece of this set, you need to head to the Akkala Ancient Tech lab to get the Yiga Armor chest piece in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This can be found in the northeast section of Deep Akkala. The lab is east of Death Mountain, northeast of Akkala Highlands, and north of East Akkala Stable.
