Learn how to get the full Radiant Armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, including its cost, upgrades, and the side quest that lowers the price.
Hey there! So you're looking to snag the Radiant Armor set in Tears of the Kingdom, huh? It's a pretty cool set, especially once you upgrade it. It gives you the Bone Weap effect, which is awesome for dealing extra damage with bone weapons, and Disguise, making it way easier to sneak past enemies. You'll find the whole set at the armor shop in Kakariko Village.
Now, when you first get there, the price might make you do a double-take – each piece is a whopping 5,000 Rupees! But don't sweat it, there's a way to bring that cost way down. There's a side quest called 'Gloom-Borne Illness' that you can do. It's pretty quick, and if you need a hand with it, we've got a guide for that too. Once you finish the quest, the shop owner will knock the price down, and each piece will only set you back 800 Rupees, making the whole set a total of 2,400 Rupees.
You can totally buy the set right away if you've got the cash. If you do, the shop owner will actually refund you the difference after you complete the side quest, so you won't lose out.
How to Upgrade The Radiant Armor Set
To make the Radiant Armor even better, you'll need to find and unlock the Great Fairies scattered around Hyrule. Once they're available, you can upgrade your armor pieces. Upgrading costs Rupees and specific monster parts. As you upgrade the set, it gets stronger, and the abilities become more potent. When fully upgraded, you'll get the Bone Weap and Disguise effects, which are super handy for dealing with Stal or skeleton-type enemies without them noticing you. Plus, that damage bonus with bone weapons is no joke!
Here's a breakdown of what you'll need for each upgrade level. Remember, you'll need to do this for all three pieces of the armor set:
| Defense Level | Items Needed | Rupees Needed |
| 5 | x1 Bokoblin Guts, x10 Luminous Stone | 10 Rupees |
| 8 | x2 Moblin Guts, x15 Luminous Stone | 50 Rupees |
| 12 | x3 Horriblin Guts, x10 Gibdo Bones, x20 Luminous Stone | 200 Rupees |
| 20 | x3 Lynel Guts, x10 Molduga Jaw, x30 Luminous Stone | 500 Rupees |
Just a heads-up, to get each piece all the way to level 20, you'll need to have all four Great Fairies unlocked. They're pretty spread out across Hyrule, but the first one you can find is near Pico Pond in Eldin.
