Quick Links
The version of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom contains several different climates. In order to fully explore it, Link must find ways to handle these extreme temperatures however he can. There are few areas that have extremely hot temperatures, though Link can use that to his advantage.
When worn, the Ember armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom allows Link to deal fire attacks while in hot temperatures. While this armor can be used in hot temperatures, it does not shield Link from receiving damage and he will have to wear other armor or eat food to beat the heat. This guide will help players find all three pieces of the Ember armor set.
How to Get the Ember Headdress in Tears of the Kingdom
The Ember Headdress can be found in the YunoboCo HQ South Cave north of Goron City and southeast of YunoboCo HQ. Players will need to wear at least one piece from the Flamebreaker armor set to walk throughout the cave without receiving damage from the extreme heat.
After defeating two Horriblins, players should throw a Bomb Flower or use a rock hammer to destroy the rock wall. There will be an unfinished vehicle waiting that requires the player to attach the other two wheels with Ultrahand.
After finishing the vehicle, players should bring it into the main room and place it in the lava to drive it to the other side. The treasure chest containing the Ember Headdress will be there.
How to Get the Ember Shirt in Tears of the Kingdom
The Ember Shirt is located inside the Goronbi River Cave southwest of Goron City, and where the Goronbi River and Golow River meet. The entrance to the cave is near and below the YunoboCo Mineral Market.
Players should be sure to take out the enemies nearby because they will have to fight a Horriblin upon entering. They'll also need to wear at least one piece from the Flamebreaker armor set to safely explore this cave.
The cave will feature a flowing river of lava with rock platforms traveling down it. Players should use Ultrahand to grab one and attach another platform to it to create a small bridge. They can then use this to go to the right and up the lava river.
After using the makeshift bridge to cross the lava, players will need to fight a Like Like that shoots fireballs. Once this has been defeated, they can use the makeshift bridge as a raft to travel down the river to the right of the Like Like.
Players should hop off on the right side past the low cave and climb the wall into the raised opening to find the treasure chest containing the Ember Shirt. Opening the chest will also reveal a hidden room with a riddle transcribed on a stone, which relates to one of the pieces in the Link's Awakening armor set.
How to Get the Ember Trousers in Tears of the Kingdom
The Ember Trousers are located in the Cephla Lake Cave on the west side of Cephla Lake, and north of Kisinona Shrine and the Foothill Stable. If possible, players should fast travel to the shrine and go behind it to find a small camp with a roaring fire below. It's here that they will find the cave entrance.
This is a one-room cave filled with treasure chests. Most of them contain just one Rupee, so it is possible to spend time opening all of them until finding the armor piece.
However, the real treasure chest with the Ember Trousers is the chest lodged in the ground towards the center-left of the cave. Players should use Ultrahand to grab and dislodge the chest to get the reward, which will then provide a clue on how to get the Fierce Deity Sword.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
