Discover how to find the powerful Barbarian Armour in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Boost your attack power and conquer Hyrule's toughest challenges!
So, you're looking to get your hands on the Barbarian Armour in Tears of the Kingdom? Awesome choice! This set is fantastic for boosting your attack power, making you hit way harder against all those baddies you'll be running into. It's super useful whether you're just starting out or deep into the late game.
To snag this sweet gear, you'll need to head into one of the new Caves introduced in the game. Specifically, you're looking for the Crenel Hills Cave, which you can find right there in Hyrule Field. If you're having a bit of trouble pinpointing it, there's a map marker available to help you out.
Now, getting the armour isn't as simple as just walking in and grabbing it. First up, you've got a Stone Talus boss to deal with – yeah, the big rock monster is back from Breath of the Wild. If you're not sure how to take one down, there's a guide for that too!
Once you've dealt with the Stone Talus, you'll need to find a hidden path to the armour. It's tucked away pretty deep in the cave and blocked by some luminous rocks. You can't just walk up to them; they're pretty high up. Your best bet here is to use something like a Bomb Flower to blast them away. Luckily, there are a few of these handy explosives scattered around the cave, so you should be good to go.
After you've cleared the path, just climb up the wall and head into the tunnel. You'll find a treasure chest waiting for you in what looks like a little treasure room. That's where the Barbarian Armour is! Just open it up and loot away.
With the Barbarian Armour equipped, you'll get that sweet Attack Up bonus, letting you dish out some serious pain to enemies across Hyrule.
