How to Get The Mystic Armor in Tears of The Kingdom

Learn how to obtain the full Mystic Armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Discover the Bubbul Gem costs and the unique rupee-shedding ability.

The Mystic Armor set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom consists of three pieces: the Mystic Headpiece, Mystic Trousers, and Mystic Robe. This armor grants the unique ability to lose Rupees instead of Hearts when taking damage, making it a valuable asset for tough battles if you have a substantial wallet. The only method to acquire the Mystic Armor set is by completing the side adventure "The Hunt For Bubbul Gems," which begins near Pico Pond in Eldin. After completing this adventure, you must locate Koltin after sunset. A good place to find him is outside Lookout Landing around 10 pm. He will trade the full set, along with other items, for Bubbul Gems.

Here is the breakdown of Bubbul Gems needed for each piece of the Mystic Armor set:

You cannot purchase the set directly. Instead, you must buy each item as it becomes available from Koltin. The Mystic Robe is the first item offered, followed by the Mystic Trousers. The Mystic Headpiece is the final piece Koltin will give you, requiring a total of 46 Bubbul Gems to complete the set.

When using the Mystic Armor, Rupees are consumed with each hit taken. This set is not recommended for players focused on saving money, as stronger enemies inflict more damage and thus cost more Rupees. For instance:

• Stalkoblin: 10 Rupees per hit
• Electric Wizzrobe: 50 Rupees per hit
• Lizalfos: 90 Rupees per hit
• Black Bokoblin: 230 Rupees per hit
• Thunder Gleeok: 290 Rupees per hit
• Black Lizalfos: 310 Rupees per hit

Even wearing a single piece of the Mystic Armor activates the Rupee-shedding effect. If you run out of Rupees, you will begin to take actual damage. This ability cannot be turned off, so it is advisable not to wear the armor during general exploration if you are trying to conserve money, as encounters with strong enemies can quickly deplete your funds.

Currently, the Mystic Armor cannot be upgraded and has a base defense of 3. This is likely due to the significant advantage it provides by absorbing damage with Rupees. It also does not possess any secondary buffs.
