Breath of the Wild

«This crystal was made using lost technology. At one time it was the power source for ancient machines. This item is very valuable to researchers.»

— In-game description

Ancient Cores can drop as a random loot from certain Guardians. Guardian Stalkers, Guardian Skywatchers, and Guardian Turrets will drop this material. The Guardian Scout III and Guardian Scout IV will rarely drop this item as well. Additionally, Link can purchase Ancient Cores from the traveling merchant Teli. While Teli normally only sells an Ancient Screw, Ancient Spring, and Ancient Gear, he has a rainy day special, where Link can purchase an Ancient Core for 130 rupees.

This material can be used in creating ancient equipment at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. Ancient Cores are used in the manufacturing of the Ancient Short Sword, Ancient Shield, Ancient Bladesaw, and Ancient Spear. It is also used to purchase all items from the Ancient Set of armor, such as the Ancient Helm, Ancient Cuirass, and Ancient Greaves. When Link upgrades the Ancient Set at the Great Fairy, he will need 5 Ancient Cores per item for the ★★★ upgrade. Link can also trade an Ancient Core with Kilton at his shop, the Fang and Bone, for 40 Mon each.

Main article: Slated for Upgrades

Breath of the Wild Walkthrough – Vah Ruta Dungeon

This is a very puzzle heavy dungeon, but it also has a very difficult boss. I highly suggest coming into this dungeon prepared. You should have at least a few heart container upgrades, some food to eat, and have acquired some armor upgrades, as well as powerful weapons, as they will be needed for the dungeon boss.

Once you begin the dungeon run ahead and you’ll see some dark sludge known as Malice on the ground along with a Glowing Eye. This malice is found all throughout the dungeon and whenever there is an eye nearby, you must defeat it to clear the sludge. You can use a bomb, sword, or an arrow to accomplish this task. Defeat the Glowing Eye that is ahead so he doesn’t get in your way.

Our first objective is to get the dungeon map and it is located behind the shut gate here. First off, look into the water below and you’ll see a treasure chest. Use Magnesis to pull it out and get an Ancient Spring.

On the other side of the water, if you look just beneath the water along the wall you will see another Glowing Eye. Use a bow to defeat the eye to clear the corruption from the door. The door is still shut, but you can use Cryonis to create an ice block to lift the gate. Run forward and place the Sheikah Slate into the pedestal to get the Dungeon Map. This is a 3-dimensional dungeon map, and the five terminals that we will have to activate are all labeled accordingly. It is very easy to miss this, but right after getting the map, a text box pops up, indicating that you can manipulate certain aspects of the Divine Beast from the map screen. This means that at any point you can remotely control the very dungeon itself, changing the height that the trunk is raised to. This will be used multiple times throughout the dungeon.

5.2 First Terminal

Progress at this point

New in this section

The first Terminal can be activated right here in this first room of the dungeon. Coming out of the dungeon map room, if you look at the left wall, you’ll see a series of gears on the wall. There is a lever that is sticking out. Stand in front of it and then use Magnesis to control it. Spin it around and it will raise the nearby platform, revealing a Sheikah Slate pedestal. Run on over and place the slate in the pedestal to activate the first terminal.

5.3 Second Terminal

Progress at this point

Total Life

New in this section

Walk to the outside part of the dungeon (opposite from the entrance) and then climb the long ramp to get to the second level. Once you arrive you’ll see a massive gear and some water spouting out, causing the gear to move. Before doing anything with the puzzle, there is a nearby treasure chest for us to grab. Walk forward to the water and use Cryonis to create an ice block so that it is near the higher ledge on the left. Climb the ice block, jump to the ledge, and then run over to the treasure chest to get a silver rupee.

Now turn your attention to the water that is shooting out. You want to use Cryonis directly on top of the source of the water in order to block the water that is shooting out. However, you want to time it for when the terminal that is inside the massive gear is nearly at the bottom, so that you can run over and activate it. Do just that to active the second terminal.

5.4 Third Terminal

Progress at this point

Total Life

New in this section

On the second level of the dungeon, you’ll see a large ball and it looks like some sort of Stasis puzzle. It actually is, but we need to get higher up to complete it. Get to the other side of the water and head back to the outside portion of the dungeon. As you scale this area, there is more corruption blocking your pathway. If you look higher up, you will see the Glowing Eye that is associated with this corruption. Use an arrow or a bomb to blast it away and then progress up to the third floor.

We need to rotate the entire structure in order to solve this puzzle. It’s a bit cryptic and if you missed the one line of text, you might be really confused on what to do. If you look at the dungeon map in the inventory screen, you’ll see that you can actually manipulate the elephant’s trunk. Since it is shooting water out of its trunk, depending on how it is arranged, the water will cause some of the gears in this room to rotate, or in some cases, change the direction of rotation. Note that in addition, the buttons to actually perform the action can be a bit confusing. Pay very close attention to the on-screen instructions, and move the trunk to the fourth setting from the top.

This will cause the large gear to start moving. When the large sphere is at the top of the gear, it will move down, hitting the switch and causing the gate to open up. What you want to do is wait until the ball is on the right side, just before it’s about to fall to the outer ledge. Use Stasis on the ball and it will freeze it in time. The gear will continue to rotate, but the ball will still be pushing the switch, causing the gate to stay open.

You should be able to jump into the open gate and then place the Sheikah Skate into the pedestal to activate the third terminal. If you make it in time, the gate will stay open even after Stasis wears off.

There is also a treasure chest in this area and the same idea can be used to get it. It is being squeezed together by two platforms. As the gear is rotating, just before both platforms and the treasure chest are about shift to the inside, use Stasis on the outer platform. The bottom platform and the treasure chest will drop, so quickly run over and open the treasure chest before the top platform falls.

5.5 Fourth Terminal

Progress at this point

Total Life

New in this section

Materials:

Ancient Shaft

Drop back down to the second level and stand right between the two gears. Manipulate the map and choose the option that is third from the top. This will cause the trunk to spill water over the large gear, and it will allow you to jump on top of it. Jump onto the large moving gear and allow it to carry you over up to the higher area of the dungeon that we have to be in. There is an enemy guardian here, so be sure to to defeat so it doesn’t bother you. There is also a nearby floor switch and pressing it causes a waterfall to appear. You can now use this waterfall to quickly swim up to this higher ledge if you fall down.

Run towards the trunk of the elephant and then manipulate the map so the trunk is horizontal. Run over and you’ll find a Glowing Eye that is blocking your path. Shoot it with an arrow and then open the treasure chest that is nearby to get an Ancient Shaft.

This next part is a tad bit tricky. What you want to do is basically climb up to the ledge that is just above the treasure chest. Then, adjust the map so that the elephant’s trunk is completely vertical. As the trunk is changing direction, Link will move higher and higher, but the platform becomes less stable as it is no longer flat. At the last moment, leap off the ledge and then use your Paraglider to fly over and land on top of the elephant.

Here you will find a small square hole that you can drop down into. You’ll appear back inside the elephant, but still at a higher lever than we previously were at. If you look at the wall, you will see a gear, but it is covered in malice. There is a Glowing Eye on one of the sides, so go ahead and shoot it with an arrow or destroy it with a bomb. Then use Magnesis to turn the lever, causing the flames from the floor below to subside. Drop down and activate the fourth terminal.

5.6 Fifth Terminal

Progress at this point

Total Life

New in this section

Items:

Ice Arrow

The final terminal is located at the tip of the trunk of the elephant. You want to do almost the exact same thing that we did for the previous terminal. Extend the trunk, walk over to the treasure chest, turn the trunk vertical, and then use the Paraglider to get on top of the elephant. Also, there is a treasure chest at the very top of the level. On one side there is some corruption, and if you defeat the eye, the treasure chest on the other side can be reached to get some ]Ice Arrows.

While you are on top of the level. Extend the trunk once again so that it is horizontal. Then leap off the top of the elephant and use the Paraglider to fly over to the very edge of the trunk. As you draw near, it’s a good idea to change it so that instead of it being at its lowest point, choose the second or third lowest option, so that the platform is flatter.

The terminal is actually on the side and you still can’t quite reach it. Drop down to the side, as there is a part of the platform that sticks out, preventing you from falling over. One last time, change the formation of the elephant and choose the option third from the top. This will cause the platform to be flat enough, allowing you to place the Sheikah Slate into the pedestal and activating the fifth terminal.

You can now start the Main Control Unit, located right near the entrance of the dungeon. On the lowest floor, climb down the steps and go and activate the Main Control Unit. This will trigger the start of the boss battle with the Scourge of Divine Beast Vah Ruta: Waterblight Ganon. Before entering the battle, I highly recommend to have a ton of arrows, otherwise this can be quite a challenging fight.

During the first phase of the battle, Waterblight Ganon will wield a massive spear and will attack you with it. The most risk-reward method of battling him is to wait for him to attack and then try to time a Perfect Dodge it by hopping away at the last second, followed by a Flurry Rush where you can deliver a number of attacks in a short period of time. The much safer route is to keep your distance and use projectiles such as arrows, or even just tossing your weapons out at Waterblight Ganon.

After Waterblight Ganon has lost half his health, this will trigger the second phase of the battle. The room will flood with water and only four platforms remain. Waterblight Ganon will create a block of ice and shoot it towards you. The block can be disintegrated by using the Cryonis ability, so be sure to keep that handy, or frozen with Stasis. As the battle progresses, Waterblight Ganon will begin to shoot three ice blocks out at a time, and then five ice blocks. These can be quite damaging, so be sure to have Cryonis readily available.

After you get rid of the ice blocks, there is an opening where you can shoot Waterblight Ganon with an arrow. After successfully hitting him, Waterblight Ganon will move to a different platform. It is best to just stay put, unless he moves to the platform close enough to where you are standing. Arrows with an elemental effect, such as Ice or Electric, will often stun him long enough for you to get over and wail on him. Just repeat this process over and over until his health comes down. Occasionally Waterblight Ganon will use his spear to attack, at which point, just do your best to avoid it. If you can time a Perfect Dodge, this is another opportunity to get in a load of damage.

If you do run out of arrows, then Perfect Dodges are about your only method of dealing damage. You can also freeze one of his ice blocks with Stasis, and then hit it back at him. You can damage him with bombs, but it is hard to get close to him. You can use Cryonis to create ice blocks, but Waterblight Ganon’s ice attacks will cause the ice blocks to break. Keep hitting him until he has finally been defeated.

• Master sword
• Hylian Shield
• Ceremonial Trident
• LightScale Trident

If you’ve been playing this adventure for any length of time, it won’t be long before you start dreaming about finding Zelda: Breath of the Wild Breakable Oversons. Nearly every weapon and shield in the game has durability stats, which means they will shatter and be clumsy when you’ve smashed enough enemies. That’s why so many are leaving in search of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master Sword.

Breath of the Wild Master Sword is one of the only non-destructive weapons in the game, but you need to meet certain requirements to get your hands on it. Luckily, Zelda has a couple of high duration weapons and shields: a breath of the wild that you can get at the same time that will last a little longer than the traditional items you stink from enemies and treasure chests.

Continue reading for Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master Sword, plus information on the Hylian Shield, Ceremonial Trident, and Lightscale Trident. This weapon breath of wild high durability is an essential piece of equipment for Link, especially after you start pushing towards Hyrule Castle in the late game.

Master Sword

Zelda: Breath of Location on Wild Master’s Dream

The Master Sword is unique in that it is the only indestructible weapon in the game. Its durability decreases with use, but after a few minutes of cooldown in your inventory it’s good to go again.

Worth finding the sword as it deals double damage against Ganon and his minions.

Select a map to view full size

The main sword is hidden in the center of Korok Forest, north of the castle.

Select map to view full size (Opens in a new tab)

If you haven’t visited the Korok Seed Forest (Opens in a new tab) or Shiny (Opens in a new tab), you will have to fight your way through the lost forests on the southeast side of the Korok Forest.

From the ruin at the entrance to the forest, follow the path of the torches until they run out, then head west to find a pair of torches next to a large tree with a chest inside.

Take the torch on the ground and light it. Watch the direction of the falling embers and use them to guide you the rest of the way.

You will be asked to draw the sword from the stone, and as you do so, your heart will be convicted, but it will replenish immediately after. It’s worth noting that you’ll need, you’ll need at least 13 hearts to snatch this for free.

If you’re wondering how to get a master sword without 13 hearts, the answer is that you can’t…not easy, at least. Luckily, collecting the required amount is easy enough, obtained by filling the spirit orb shrines and defeating the divine beasts.

Hylian Shield

Zelda: Wild Hylian Shield Location Breath

Hylian Shield is not technically indestructible, but it has a very high durability of 800.

Unless you have mastered the Perfect Guard Technique, I would avoid using it against Guardians laser beams , as they can destroy almost any shield with a single burst. While the Hylian Shield might take a little longer to wear, it’s not worth it when you can sacrifice a stack of low-level shields in its place.

The shield is in Hyrule Castle blockade, but very easy to get to. You can avoid all the confrontations along the way, but stock up on arrows and various health and speed potions for the inevitable fight at the end to get it.

Select map to view full size

From the northwest side of the castle, where the green pin is, you can see the entrance to the docks, which looks like a large cave with water in it.

Paraplide onto the path next to it, but watch out for the active, but stationary, guardian at the top.

Walk past this to what looks like a plus entrance. There are three ores shimmering right outside so you can’t miss it.

The gate will block you, but you can use an ice block to lift it up.

The next obstacle is the purple Ganon Gloop. Shoot the eyeball visible in the chamber on the left to clear the hallway.

There are some tough moblins in the cages here, but you can easily avoid them if you have enough stealth and stamina by climbing over and around the cages like a yellow belly.

Follow the corridor to the right and you’ll see a very suspicious pile of bones in a chamber outside.

This is a stalnox, and yes, the door will close behind you, delaying you. Shoot in the eyes and follow the sound. He will try to throw various appendages at you, but they are easy to avoid. Take your time, keep your cool and you’ll be dead before you know it.

He’ll drop some pretty fancy gear, but the treasure you’re looking for is in the chest.

Any armor, weapons and shields you have purchased that are lost or broken will appear in Grante’s inventory in Tarry City, but they are very expensive and you will need to complete a bunch of quests to unlock his services.

So when your Hylian Shield finally bites the dust, you can pick up another one from Grant.

Ceremonial Trident

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Ceremonial Trident Location

The Ceremonial Trident is basically a fake light trident, but it can be overridden by Dento in Zora’s domain where you find it.

Select map to view full size (Opens in a new tab)

Zora’s domain is located east of Central Hyrule.

From the statue of Myth, head up the stairs on the left.

Go to the bridge leading to the west gate of Zora’s domain.

You need to jump off the right side of the bridge and slide down to the lowest level of the outer ring.

You could swim there, but it wouldn’t be as fast.

Select map to view full size

Go to the location on the map above.

Away from Zora’s domain, use the magnesia to find the trident in the water.

Use ice blocks to reach him and switch to magnesia to lift him to solid ground.

If you break or lose your trident, bring a spear and five pieces of flint to Dento-Zor and he will make you shiny new.

LightScale Trident

Zelda: Trident Location Breath With Of the Wild Lightscale

The LightScale Trident is the only other weapon that can be resolved if lost or broken at Zora’s domain.

You will have to purify the divine beast wah-ruta to get it.

Visit the throne room in Zora’s domain and you will be told to open a chest for your prize.

If you lose or break your trident, Dento will damage it using Zora’s spear, a diamond, and five pieces of flint.

You can get diamonds in Zora’s domain by bringing Ledo — the guy who knocked on the pillar near the temple — 10 glowing stones. He will give you two for the first 10 as a side quest reward, and one for every 10 after that.

And that’s about as close as you’re going to get an unbreakable weapon, so make the most of those little loopholes and enjoy!

Zelda Dragon Location and Farming: Where to find Pharosh, Dinrall and Naidra to complete Sha Katha and Tutsuwa Nima in Breath of the Wild

Explaining the locations of the Farosh, Dinrall and Naidra dragons.

Encountering Zelda Dragons Farosh, Dinrall and Naydra is one of Breath of the Wild’s most impressive sights.

These majestic beasts carve their way across Hyrule’s skyline if you know where to look, and encountering them is essential not only to complete certain Shrines, but also to obtain valuable items that can be used in upgrading, trading, and cooking.

On this page:

If you need help finding and solving other shrines, our Temple Location Maps page can help, and our Zelda: Breath of the Wild walkthrough and guide covers other aspects of the game.

These majestic creatures can be encountered flying over Hyrule on certain routes, allowing you to track them down reliably.

We have recommended spawn points for farming near the end of the article, but however you find them, the goal is to shoot them in certain places with a bow and arrow, causing them to reset the following values ​​in order from most common to rare. :

• Body (Scale)
• Legs (claw)
• Face (Fang)
• Horn (Shard of the Horn)

The easiest way to get to the above is by paragliding and switching to a bow so you can slow down time and aim at will. You have to avoid the projectiles they fire when they first spot you, so wait until they pass before firing.

If successful, the component will drop for you to assemble. You can only get one item per encounter, so you’ve reset the Dragon’s route by moving time to the next day (find a camp or create your own using Wood’s link with Flint or Firebolt).

The above components can be used in the following ways:

• Cooking (Best are Fangs adding 10:30 minutes and Horn Shard with a whopping 30 minutes)
• Armor Upgrades (such as 100% completion of «Of the Wild» Shrine)
• Trade with Kilton

seller

• Completion of certain Shrines (see below)

You can also sell them for rupees but don’t bring in too much money and are therefore recommended for the above activities instead.

Each dragon is tied to a specific Shrine, although you can completely ignore them and use them for other resources. Anyway, here are their recommended locations and how to find the next Temple.

«Fire Dragon» is easiest to find on the northern coast of the map.

Head to the East Deplian Badlands northwest of Death Mountain, where it will fly west over a giant skeleton. The nearby mountains are the perfect vantage point to glide and aim.

Once you have Dinraal’s gauge, you’ll want to find Tutsuwa Nima Shrine, located right between the Mountains of Death and Akkala’s northern stable.

Drop down into the ruins at this location and use the Scales to access the Temple. You’re not done yet — complete the Trial of Endurance to get the Shrine Orb by checking it off the list.

Zelda Breath of the Wild is now playable in VR thanks to a new update. Want to help with the base game? Our Zelda: Breath of the Wild walkthrough can help complete the divine beasts Vah Ruta, Vah Rudiana, Vah Medo and Vah Naboris and more. There’s also how to get the Master Sword, Hylian Shield, and all the Zelda Captured Memories and Big Fairy Fountain locations, while our Shrine Sites and Shrine Maps center explains where to find and solve each puzzle room, including Dragon Locations and Labyrinth Solutions. also has DLC 1 Guide and DLC 2 Guide including all Tingle, Major Mask, Ghost, Midna outfits,

The easiest way to get to the «electric» Farosh is the end of the route on the southern coast of Lake Rassala in the Faron region.

From there, Farosh will fly in from the north and take to the air with a waterfall overlooking the dragon as a perfect shooting spot.
