Your Guide to the Fierce Deity Set in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The Fierce Deity Set is widely regarded as one of the most formidable outfits in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This legendary attire not only enhances Link’s attack power by three stages but also adds a striking visual flair that embodies the essence of fierceness.
Acquiring the Fierce Deity Set is an exciting adventure, starting with one of Hyrule’s most engaging Side Adventures: Misko’s Cave of Chests.
Understanding Misko’s Cave of Chests
Located in the arid expanses of Eldin Canyon near Foothills Stable, players will encounter two treasure-seeking brothers, Domidak and Prissen, who are mystified by the enigmas surrounding Misko’s Cave of Chests. The clever bandit who hid Misko’s treasure has crafted riddles throughout Hyrule, challenging players eager to add splendid treasures to their collections.
This Side Adventure may initially appear straightforward, but it incorporates a series of puzzles and an extensive treasure hunt that leads Link to lesser-explored areas of the game world. The effort is well worth it, as the rewards include the powerful Fierce Deity set alongside one of the game’s top-tier weapons—a delightful nod to one of the series’ most beloved adventures.
Here’s how you can tackle Misko’s Cave of Chests and secure the Fierce Deity set for your adventures in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Steps to Obtain the Fierce Deity Set
To progress through Misko’s Cave of Chests, you will need to befriend the dog located at the cave’s entrance by feeding it. Once the dog is coaxed, it will lead you to hidden treasures.
Engage in conversation with Domidak and Prissen, who will provide hints about a legendary treasure concealed beneath Cephla Lake Cave. They’ll express a desire for a dog’s keen sense of smell to aid in their search. To win over the dog, repeatedly drop food items such as apples or meats nearby until it decides to accompany you.
If, by chance, the dog remains uncooperative, don’t be discouraged. You can easily open the treasure chests within the cave yourself!
Utilize your Ultrahand power to free chests lodged within the walls or floors. Shake the controller to retrieve them, revealing either rupees or clues. As you rummage through the chests, you’ll first acquire the Ember Trousers, which enhance your attack in hot weather.
Upon retrieving this treasure, Domidak and Prissen will appear, congratulating you on your discovery. Yet, your adventure is far from over!
A message in a bottle will lead you to “don the form of the Fierce Deity” to receive your monumental reward. You’ll need to gather the full Fierce Deity armor set, which includes the Fierce Deity Mask, Fierce Deity Armor, and Fierce Deity Boots.
Pieces of this iconic armor can be found in three unique locations: one beneath the bedchamber of Akkala’s citadel, another inside the left eye of a skull, and the final piece hidden within an old stump in Hyrule Field. Now, let’s embark on the quest to locate these armor pieces.
The interactive map below outlines the precise locations of all three pieces of the Fierce Deity armor set:
Akkala Citadel Bedchamber Location
The Akkala Citadel Ruins can be found within the Akkala Highlands, specifically at the Akkala Citadel Ruins, as depicted below:
This area may present challenges if you’re under-leveled. To access the ruins, climb to the summit. Although a red hands mini-boss looms here, defeating it is not necessary for advancement.
Within the ruins’ east section, seek out a red carpet. Follow this carpet to find a hole in the wall at the southeast corner.
By crawling through the hole and dropping down, you will access the Akkala Citadel Ruins Summit Cave, where the Fierce Deity top awaits!
Finding the Skull’s Left Eye
The Skull’s left eye refers to the formation at Skull Lake in the top right corner of the map.
Keep in mind that the left eye is positioned on the right side, as if reflecting in a mirror.
Avoid descending the hole on the left-hand side, as it leads to a formidable boss battle that can cause unnecessary difficulties. Instead, climb the tall pillar on the right and drop down into Skull Lake Cave.
Once inside, emerge from the water and navigate through the tunnel. Clear the loose rocks blocking your path and eliminate any skeletons lurking in the large cavern.
Upon defeating them, scale the plateau within the cave to secure the Fierce Deity Mask from a chest!
Locating the Old Stump in Hyrule Field
The Old Stump refers to the Ancient Tree Stump situated adjacent to Mount Daphnes in Hyrule Field.
Head southwest from Lookout Landing towards the Giant’s Forest; the nearest shrine is the Susuyai Shrine.
Enter the stump to access Ancient Tree Stump Cave. After swimming to the bottom, climb out and use a fire fruit to burn the vines obscuring the southern wall.
Then, ascend using the tree roots to reach a higher ledge and ignite the second set of vines. Inside this passage, you will discover the Fierce Deity Boots!
Claim Your Reward!
Having gathered all three components of the armor set, return to Misko’s Cave of Chests located near Foothills Stable.
Equip each piece of the Fierce Deity set, and a new room will become visible upon your entry.
Celebrate your accomplishment and enjoy the rewards—you certainly have earned them!
