How to get the Biggoron's Sword

Most of Link's weapons and outfits you can find in Tears of the Kingdom are hidden away in the depths, and that includes the Biggoron's Sword. Be ready for a tough fight to claim this sword, because you have a mini-boss waiting for you.

Step 1: Travel to Skull Lake in the Akkala region.

Step 2: Go down the Skull Lake Chasm and light up the area with a Brightbloom Seed.

Step 3: You will instantly be swarmed by a mob of enemies.

Step 4: Taking out all the smaller enemies will wake up the Stalnox.

Step 5: Take down the massive Stalnox with whatever weapons you have available by shooting its eye and smacking it around.

Step 6: Crack open the chest at the end of the arena and claim the Biggoron's Sword.

The Biggoron's Sword is a two-handed sword with 36 damage that you can Fuse with other items to make it even more powerful. If you like big, strong weapons, this one is great to keep around.
