Quick Links
Desert Voe Armor in Breath of the Wild was one of those armor sets that were easy to miss and not as vital as its vai counterpart: the Gerudo Set. Thanks to the changes brought on by The Upheaval in Tears of the Kingdom, players have the option of getting a piece of the Voe Set before they set foot into the Gerudo Wasteland.
The Voe Headband will be the first piece of armor that players come across for this set. Finding the remaining two pieces in Tears of the Kingdom will require Link to find the Gerudo Secret Club in Gerudo Town. Unlike Breath of the Wild, he won't need a password to get in. Instead, he'll need durable weapons and the Ascent Ability.
Kara Kara Bazaar: Desert Voe Headband
While players can glide towards Gerudo Town if they're close or have enough stamina, then they can do so. However, it's recommended to visit the Kara Kara Bazaar first. Here, players can speak to a Gerudo merchant named Saula, who is selling the Desert Voe Headband for 450 Rupees.
The bazaar/shop's coordinates are: -3273, -2551, 0023.
How to Find Gerudo Town
Saula will tell Link of a store in Gerudo Town called Fashion Passion, which is where players can get the remaining two pieces of the Gerudo Set (Desert Voe Spaulder and Desert Voe Trousers). It's the same place where players could buy a second Gerudo Set in Breath of the Wild. Only this time, Gerudo Town is completely abandoned and in ruins thanks to The Upheaval.
Look on the outskirts of Kara Kara Bazaar for the Mayatat Shrine. Activate it to establish a Travel Point. Near this Shrine, there is a Sand Seal. Equip a shield that hasn't been fused with Zonai equipment, and approach the seal as quietly as possible. When Link is close enough, press A-button when prompted. Head towards the Desert Rift, but avoid the columns of sand.
Once Link surfs out into the desert, the map will become staticky and unreadable. Those struggling with navigating the desert should keep an eye on the map coordinates, which do not disappear.
Gerudo Town's coordinates are -3875, -2864, 0043.
If Link loses his sand seal, then use the coordinates on the bottom-right map as a guide. Be careful of Gibdos and other enemies. It's also easier to find Kara Kara Bazaar and Gerudo Town if players activate the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower first.
Where to Find Desert Voe Spaulder & Desert Voe Trousers
Since there are no guards this time around, walk on in. There's the Soryotanog Shrine atop the Gerudo Chief's room, so be sure to climb up there and Activate that before leaving. The next step is to find the Gerudo Secret Shop. Even if players remember where it is, Greta and Perda won't open the door for Link.
Navigating the Waterways to Gerudo Secret Club
Instead, head towards the front gate and go to the dried-up waterway. The coordinates are -3792, 2903, 0043:
Jump down into the sewers, and swim towards the breakable wall:
Players will want to equip a weapon fused with a rock or boulder and break down the wall. Go through here and smash even more walls. Clear enough rocks to reveal Rusty Claymores and some Rocks just in case Link's current weapon breaks. Equip the Rusty Claymore, switch to Fuse Ability, and fuse them together to create a Rock Hammer.
Link should take the left path at the split, and climb up the wall to another set of breakable walls. Clear this away, and eventually, players should see a room with three pillars (coordinates: -3796, -2924, 0032):
Switch to the Ascend Ability, and ascend into the ceiling above. Players will then emerge from the floor of the Gerudo Secret Shop. On one side of the shop are the Desert Voe Spaulder and Desert Voe Trousers. On the other side are the Sand Boots and the Snow Boots.
Gerudo Set Cost & Defense
The Gerudo Armor are very expensive, but players should at least have enough for the Desert Voe Headband. If players just need heat-resistant armor, then pick up the Headband first and get the remaining pieces later. The Gerudo Set parts are priced as the following:
- Desert Voe Headband: 450 Rupees
- Desert Voe Spaulder: 1300 Rupees
- Desert Voe Trousers: 650 Rupees
* Every piece of the Gerudo Set offers a base 3 Defense when bought.
Those struggling to get Rupees in Tears of the Kingdom should sell their Gems or find Blupees. The sell price of Amber has dropped from 30 Rupees to 10 Rupees from BotW to TotK, but selling a handful will be enough to net the Desert Voe Headband. Blupees seem to have gotten braver during The Upheaval, and Link can find them just about anywhere in Hyrule. Sneak up on them and hit them with a weapon to make them drop green, blue, red, or even purple Rupees.
If players are in their earlier stages of Tears of the Kingdom, then they should save their money and return to get the Desert Voe Spaulder/Trousers when they've gotten a little richer.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for Nintendo Switch.
