Once you find a book, read its contents carefully. It will provide hints, riddles, or direct descriptions of the area where the corresponding armor piece is buried or hidden. You may need to use your Sheikah Slate's scope to pinpoint the exact location based on the clues.
Tips for Completing the Quests
- Map Markers: Use your Sheikah Slate to place custom markers on your map for potential clue locations or areas mentioned in the rumors.
- Thorough Exploration: These quests often require meticulous exploration of specific regions. Don't overlook hidden corners or seemingly insificant landmarks.
- Combat Readiness: Some clue locations or the armor chests themselves may be guarded by powerful enemies. Be prepared for combat.
- DLC 1 Armor: Remember that DLC 1 also introduced EX Treasure Quests for armor like the Fairy Clothes, Phantasma, Twilight Relic, and Ancient Mask.
The DLC 2 EX Treasure Quests offer a fun and rewarding way to expand your armor collection and delve deeper into the lore of Hyrule. Happy hunting!
