How To Get Ancient Blades Tears Of The Kingdom
Firstly, let’s cover where these Ancient Blades can be found. There are three main ways to acquire them, each varying in difficulty and requirements.
Highland Stable Cave
This is perhaps the easiest of the three methods. You can find an Ancient Blade hidden in a chest within the Highland Stable Cave. Here is a map marker with its location if you haven’t been there yet:
Navigate through the cave’s interior, making sure to explore every nook and cranny. The chest is relatively well-hidden, right at the bottom between crates, so keen observation skills are a must.
The Depths Spirit Temple
To access this method, you must first complete the Depths Spirit Temple. Once accomplished, speak to the mining construct that resides within.
This ancient, sentient machine will provide you with an Ancient Blade as a reward for your accomplishment.
The Depths Spirit Temple is challenging but highly rewarding, offering multiple benefits for its completion.
The Mining Construct Exchange
If you have a surplus of Zonaite, a form of currency of the ancient Zonai civilization, you can utilize it to acquire more Ancient Blades.
After completing the Depths Spirit Temple, you can continue interacting with the aforementioned mining construct. By offering 50 Zonaite each time, the construct will provide you with an Ancient Blade.
While this method is a bit costly, it’s a reliable way to amass a considerable number of Ancient Blades, provided you have the resources.
Each Ancient Blade possesses a fusion power of 50, making them a significant upgrade for your arrows. When infused, your arrows become a formidable weapon, capable of dealing substantial damage to even the toughest of enemies.
However, if you end up killing your enemy with the Ancient Blade infused arrow, it will not drop any form of loot so keep that in mind.
Finding and utilizing Ancient Blades is an exciting and beneficial task for any player venturing through Tears of the Kingdom. So gear up, start exploring, and make the ancient power of these blades your own.
