Discover how to find the Miner's Mask, Miner's Top, and Miner's Trousers in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. All pieces are in safe zones and easy to get early on!
Alright, so you're looking to snag the Miner's Armor set in Tears of the Kingdom? Smart move! This stuff glows in the dark, which is a lifesaver when you're exploring the Depths. The best part? All three pieces are in pretty chill spots, totally safe and accessible early in the game. You can find maps for them dropped by bosses, but honestly, you can just head straight to them. Let's break down where each piece is hiding.
Where to Get The Miner’s Mask
First up, the Miner's Mask. You'll want to make your way to the Tatayam Lightroot. From there, just head down into the Abandoned Kara Kara Mine. You can't miss the chest; it's sitting right in the middle of some circular ruins. Seriously, zero enemies around, so no need to stress. Once you grab the mask, there's a Zonai Device nearby you can chat with. A Construct will pop out and give you the Scaffolding quick build blueprint, which is pretty handy!
Where to Get The Miner’s Top
For the Miner's Top, your destination is the Iayusus Lightroot, which is located under the Great Plateau. Head west from there, and you'll soon stumble upon the Daphnes Canyon Mine. This place is completely unguarded, so again, no enemies to worry about. The Gloom isn't too bad here either. The chest with the Miner's Top is just sitting out in the open in the middle of the mine. Easy peasy!
Where to Get The Miner’s Trousers
Now for the Miner's Trousers. You'll need to go to the Koradat Lightroot, found under Mount Daphnesm. Keep heading west until you find the Hylia Canyon Mine. The chest is pretty close to the end of this area. You might see a few Poes floating around – they actually help you spot the chest! Just like the other locations, there are no enemies here, so just open it up and claim your prize.
How to Upgrade The Miner’s Set
Once you've got all three pieces, you'll probably want to upgrade them. To do that, you need to visit one of the Great Fairies. There, you can trade in various plants, fish, and minerals to level up the set. When it's fully upgraded, your footsteps will actually glow in the dark, making it super easy to leave a trail for yourself. You'll need to do this three times to max out each piece. Here's a look at what you'll need:
| Defense Level | Items Needed | Rupees Needed |
| 5 | x10 Brightbloom Seeds | 10 Rupees |
| 8 | x20 Brightbloom Seeds, x5 Brightcaps | 50 Rupees |
| 12 | x15 Giant Brightbloom Seeds, x10 Deep Firefly, x5 Glowing Cave Fish | 200 Rupees |
| 20 | x20 Giant Brightbloom Seeds, x10 Large Zonaite, x3 Diamond | 500 Rupees |
Just a heads-up, to get the set all the way to level 20, you'll need to find and unlock all four Great Fairies scattered across Hyrule. Happy hunting!
