The three commonly sought Misko treasure locations lead to Climbing Gear in North Hyrule Plain Cave, Barbarian Armor in Crenel Hills Cave, and Rubber Armor in Whistling Hill Cave. They are not the whole of Misko’s treasure content: separate questlines lead to the Fierce Deity and Awakening sets, among other finds. This guide covers those main routes without claiming to catalogue every Misko-associated item.
The three Misko armor locations
These are the three cave rewards most often meant by “Misko’s treasures.” Their benefits differ, so choose based on what you want to do in Hyrule.
| Reward | Location | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Climbing Gear (Climbing Armor) | North Hyrule Plain Cave, southeast of New Serenne Stable and Sinakawak Shrine | Increases climbing speed |
| Barbarian Armor (“Powerful Outfit”) | Crenel Hills Cave, in a hidden area behind the Stone Talus encounter | Raises attack |
| Rubber Armor (“Shock Resistant Outfit”) | Whistling Hill Cave, south of Lookout Landing | Provides shock resistance |
The cited guides give slightly different coordinate values for the Climbing Gear route: Nintendo Life identifies a nearby chest at -1230, 0771, 0100, while GameSkinny lists the cave around -1188, 0644, 0072. These may refer to different points, such as the chest and entrance, so use the named cave and in-game map rather than treating either number as a single definitive coordinate. See Nintendo Life’s armor locations guide and GameSkinny’s armor guide.
Fierce Deity: a separate treasure hunt
The Fierce Deity route begins at Cephla Lake Cave near Foothill Stable. Speak with the treasure hunters there, then use their dog to help identify the correct chest. Finding the Ember Trousers leads into the Fierce Deity side quest.

#1 Best Overall
- Fierce Deity Armor: Akkala Citadel Ruins.
- Fierce Deity Boots: Ancient Tree Stump Cave.
- Fierce Deity Mask: Skull Lake Cave.
After collecting all three pieces, return to Cephla Lake Cave to receive the Fierce Deity Sword. The route and reward locations are described in Nintendo Life’s armor locations guide.
Awakening set: three linked quests
Misko’s Treasure of Awakening is a three-part side-quest line that starts at Goronbi River Cave in Eldin Canyon. Its rewards are the Tunic of Awakening, Trousers of Awakening, and Mask of Awakening. The available source confirms the starting area and set rewards, but does not establish a complete route sequence here; consult the in-game quest clues for the steps to each piece. Game8’s Misko treasure locations overview lists the rewards and locations.
Rank #2
Other Misko-associated treasure
Misko’s treasure is broader than the three cave armors and the two set routes above. Game8’s overview also lists three manuscript quests: the Twins Manuscript for Tingle’s Shirt, the Pirate Manuscript for Tingle’s Tights, and the Heroines Manuscript for Tingle’s Hood. It also mentions a Cave of Chests sequence associated with the Ember Trousers and Fierce Deity gear. Treat these as additional leads rather than a complete walkthrough: the available information does not establish every route or mechanism, and there may be other Misko-associated discoveries.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Which treasure should you pursue first?
- Choose the Climbing Gear if faster climbing is the most useful improvement for your exploration.
- Go for the Barbarian Armor if you want its attack-raising benefit.
- Seek the Rubber Armor for shock resistance.
- Start the Fierce Deity or Awakening route if you want a multi-location set hunt rather than a single cave reward.
The available descriptions establish what these rewards do, but do not support a numerical ranking of their armor value.
