Where to find Yiga armor in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

By Jesse Lennox Published May 15, 2023

Link is no longer bound to his traditional green tunic anymore. Starting in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and continuing on in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you will find dozens of new outfits and armor to try out. There are aesthetic differences, of course, but also bonus stats and effects. The Yiga armor, which is obviously themed after the stealthy Yiga clan, is great for those who want to play a bit more sneakily. If you want to blend in with the deadly assassins, here’s how you can get the Yiga armor in Tears of the Kingdom.

How to get the Yiga armor

Yiga armor, like many other armor sets in Tears of the Kingdom, has three pieces to complete the set: the mask, armor, and tights. Here’s a map with all three of their locations:

The mask is actually back up on the Great Plateau from Breath of the Wild. Once you arrive, find the old man’s house near Lake Hylia, which is now fortified with a defensive wall. Get over it and interact with the door to get ambushed. Take out the two Yiga soldiers and head inside to talk to Pitar. He will reward you with the Yiga Mask.

A similar story will play out getting the Yiga armor. This time go to the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab in the far northeast of the map. Approaching the door will trigger an identical ambush. Deal with theat, then head inside and talk to Konba to get yourself the armor piece.

Finally, for the tights, you need to find the cave marked on the map above called the Yiga Clan Maritta Branch in Great Hyrule Forest. You’ll know it from the Yiga Clan symbols on either side of the entrance. Head inside and face one more pair of Yiga Clan members. The trick here is to use Ascend to travel up from the central room to find Aliza and be rewarded with the final part of the outfit.

This set has low defense, each one starting with a base defense stat of 1, but all have the Stealth Up effect, which is perfect for silent infiltrations.

Where to find iron in Monster Hunter Wilds

Ask any Monster Hunter Wilds player and they will tell you that the most important tip and trick to know is how vital it is to always upgrade your gear. There are no levels like a normal RPG, so the only way to get stronger is to forge better weapons and armor at the blacksmith. Like almost every game, you can't just make better gear for free. It costs you money and the raw materials to make it. One of the early materials you will need to get is iron. Unlike monster parts, you need to go out of your way to find deposits of iron to mine to get your hands on it. If you're at a loss for where to track down this ore, here's where you can find iron in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Where to find iron

Iron is a very common resource in the starting area of Monster Hunter Wilds, Windward Plains, but it also shows up in Scarlet Forest. You can see it as a big blue geode on the ground and a blue icon on your map. The easiest way to locate them on your map is to open your map and open the Filter Icons menu. Turn everything off except for the Mining Outcrop icons. Then, all you need to do is find an iron one on your map, set a waypoint, and have your Seikret take you there.

Where to find the cartographer in Emerald Stair in Avowed

You will probably have a good grip on all the tips and tricks needed to beat Avowed by the time you reach the second zone, Emerald Stair. However, no matter how many abilities you have or how good your gear is, finding a missing person with just a vague hint never gets any easier. We already helped Sanza find a missing cartographer in Dawntrail, but he has lost another in Emerald Stair and needs us to track them down. Like last time, the Avowed won't tell you where to go so we explored the entire region to show you exactly where to track them down.

The first cartographer quest at least gave you the general direction to find them, but this time we are only given the name of the area within Emerald Stair. The area in question is called Naku Tedek and is the isolated island on the south end of the map.

Where to find the cartographer in Dawntrail in Avowed

After the tutorial teaches you the essential tips and tricks for playing Avowed, you will be set free in the Living Lands. Almost right away you will encounter a man named Sanza who has an important side quest for you to locate a missing cartographer. While you might be eager to complete the main story, side quests are important for unlocking new abilities and exploring the world. Unlike most side quests, however, this one only gives you a vague written description of where the cartographer is instead of a marker on your map to travel to. Even though each zone in Avowed isn't massive, there is still a lot of ground to cover when looking for a single person. Here's where you can find the cartographer in Dawntrail.

The side quest only says that the cartographer should be located near some cliffs on the east side of Dawntrail, which is quite a big place to search. The area you're looking for is called Usher's Hand and is directly east of Paradis. If you go out the eastern exit and head north, you will find it no problem.
