In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, tracking down every piece of regional armor is a highly rewarding pursuit for adventurous completionists. While the main narrative naturally hands you the chest plate, completing the entire set requires exploring the hidden corners of the Lanayru province. Locating the headgear allows players to unleash Link's full swimming potential during their aquatic travels.
Journey to the Hidden Ruins of Toto Lake
The prized headpiece is not given out during standard main quests or found inside standard shrine treasure chests. Instead, players must navigate north of Zora's Domain toward the murky and ancient waters of Toto Lake. This body of water sits directly above the main palace, requiring a steep climb or a waterfall ascent to reach the coordinates.
Once you arrive at the lake, you will notice crumbling stone structures submerged within the deeper parts of the water. The target object rests completely out of sight beneath the surface toward the back wall of these ruins. Adventurers will need to utilize their specialized rune abilities to spot the metallic container resting underneath the waves.
Extracting the Sunken Treasure Chest
Locating the exact spot requires standing firmly on the nearby stone ruins to maintain a clear line of sight over the water. Activating the Magnesis rune will immediately illuminate the metal treasure chest in a bright red glow against the dark lakebed. You must target the container and pull it directly out of the deep water onto dry land.
Opening the chest immediately grants you the unique armor piece, which instantly adds a permanent spin attack to your swimming arsenal. This useful maneuver allows players to damage aquatic enemies while navigating through treacherous rivers. Additionally, pairing the gear with the rest of the set grants a massive boost to overall swimming velocity across Hyrule.
Upgrading the Aquatic Gear Components
To fully utilize the defense potential of this special gear, players should visit the Great Fairy Fountains scattered throughout the land. The initial upgrades require basic aquatic resources like the common Hyrule Bass to strengthen the fabric. Gathering these materials ensures that Link can survive tougher physical impacts when fighting high-level enemies near coastlines.
Higher tier advancements demand more elusive components, including standard Lizalfos Tails harvested from regional enemies. Investing your hard-earned rupees and gathered ingredients into this equipment drastically changes how you handle wet biomes. Ultimate completionists will find that having a fully upgraded set makes exploring the wetlands completely effortless.
