In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there is a wide assortment of armour sets to collect. While some are new, others are hauntingly familiar, including the iconic Phantom Armour set.

Here, we’ll be breaking down everything you need to do to get all pieces of the Phantom Armour in the game, including the Phantom Helm, Phantom Armour chest piece and the Phantom Greaves.

You can’t have a full set of armour without a helmet! To get the Phantom Helm in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’re going to need to head over to Puffer Beach in the Faron Region.

Once there, you’ll notice a cave opening directly above you with several luminous rock deposits.

On the beach below, you will see some fallen rocks. These are your key to getting into the cave.

Use your Ultrahand to raise one of the fallen rocks as high as possible and let it fall. Once it is back on the beach, use your Rewind rune to lift it back up. As it does, use your Ascend to get on top of the rock.

Once on top of the rock, once the Rewind reaches its end, use Ascend once more to get inside the Puffer Beach Overhead Cave.

Inside the cave, after a little bit of exploring, you will find a chest with the Phantom Helm inside.

Next, you’re going to need the Phantom Armour itself.

To get the Phantom Armour in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, head on over to the end of Tamio River. Once there, you will find a small opening leading down to the Tamio River Downstream Cave.

This cave is a little more dangerous than the last, with Gloom Hands emerging to steal your hearts away.

After some brief exploration, you’ll come to a heavy destructible wall. The easiest way to get through here is to use your Bomb Arrows to destroy it quickly. Just be sure you’re stocked up on Bomb Flowers beforehand.

Once the wall is destroyed, head into the opening to grab the chest with the Phantom Armour inside.

Finally, the last piece of the Phantom Armour set you will need is the Phantom Greaves.

To get the Phantom Greaves in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, head on over to the East Barrens of the Gerudo Region.

In the Gerudo Desert, you will find a series of sifting sinkholes. Jump into one and it will lead you to the Ancient Altar Ruins.

Once inside, you simply need to open the chest to pick up the Phantom Greaves.

With that piece, you will now have the completed Phantom Armour set. Now go out there and slay some monsters with that sweet raised attack stat!
