BotW Climbing Armor Set: Shrine Locations, Set Bonus, Upgrades
Which Breath of the Wild shrines hold the Climber's Bandanna, Climbing Gear and Climbing Boots, the Climbing Jump Stamina Up bonus and upgrades.
The Climbing set is the most useful set in a game where you can climb almost anything. All three pieces are in shrines in Necluda, not far from the Great Plateau. For every set see all armor; for the Great Fairies see armor upgrade materials.
Where do you find each piece of the Climbing set?
All three are in shrine chests:
- Climber’s Bandanna — Ree Dahee Shrine, Dueling Peaks region.
- Climbing Gear — Chaas Qeta Shrine, Hateno region.
- Climbing Boots — Tahno O’ah Shrine, Hateno region.

|---|---|---|
| Climber's Bandanna | Chest · Ree Dahee Shrine | Show on map |
| Climbing Gear | Chest · Chaas Qeta Shrine | Show on map |
| Climbing Boots | Chest · Tahno O'ah Shrine | Show on map |
What does the Climbing set bonus do?
Set bonus
Climbing Jump Stamina Up
Active when all three pieces are at ★★ or higher.
Jumping while climbing uses 50% less stamina. Each piece on its own has Climb Speed Up.
How much defense does each piece give?
| Piece | Base | ★ | ★★ | ★★★ | ★★★★ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Climber's Bandanna | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
| Climbing Gear | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
| Climbing Boots | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
3 at base and 20 at four stars.
What does it take to upgrade the Climbing set?
Upgrades are done at a Great Fairy Fountain, one star at a time, for materials only (no rupees). The table is per piece.
| ★ | Materials |
|---|---|
| ★ | Keese Wing ×3, Rushroom ×3 |
| ★★ | Electric Keese Wing ×5, Hightail Lizard ×5 |
| ★★★ | Ice Keese Wing ×5, Hot-Footed Frog ×10 |
| ★★★★ | Fire Keese Wing ×5, Swift Violet ×15 |
Every piece in this set uses these materials.
The materials are all small creatures and plants: Keese wings, Rushrooms, Hightail Lizards, Hot-Footed Frogs and Swift Violets, which grow on cliffs. Several of them are also ingredients; the recipe finder shows what else they cook into.
When should you wear the Climbing set?
Wear it for any long climb in dry weather: towers, mountains, the walls of Hyrule Castle. It does nothing against slipping in the rain; Breath of the Wild has no armor for that.
