Breath of the Wild Flamebreaker Set: Where to Buy, Bonus, Upgrades
Buy the Flamebreaker Helm, Armor and Boots at Ripped and Shredded in Goron City in Breath of the Wild: the Fireproof bonus and every upgrade.
The Flamebreaker set (often just called the fireproof set) is what you wear on Death Mountain and inside Vah Rudania. Goron City sells it. For every set see all armor; for the Great Fairies see armor upgrade materials.
Where do you find each piece of the Flamebreaker set?
All three pieces, the Flamebreaker Helm, Flamebreaker Armor and Flamebreaker Boots, are sold at Ripped and Shredded, the armor shop in Goron City (Game8).
| Piece | Where to get | Coordinates |
|---|---|---|
| Flamebreaker Helm | Shop · Goron City | — |
| Flamebreaker Armor | Shop · Goron City | — |
| Flamebreaker Boots | Shop · Goron City | — |
What does the Flamebreaker set bonus do?
Set bonus
Fireproof
Active when all three pieces are at ★★ or higher.
Zelda Dungeon: “Negates all fire damage.” Each piece on its own has Flame Guard, which stops you burning in the heat around lava.
How much defense does each piece give?
| Piece | Base | ★ | ★★ | ★★★ | ★★★★ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flamebreaker Helm | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
| Flamebreaker Armor | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
| Flamebreaker Boots | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
3 at base and 20 at four stars.
What does it take to upgrade the Flamebreaker 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 |
|---|---|
| ★ | Fireproof Lizard ×1, Moblin Horn ×2 |
| ★★ | Fireproof Lizard ×3, Moblin Fang ×4 |
| ★★★ | Smotherwing Butterfly ×3, Moblin Guts ×3 |
| ★★★★ | Smotherwing Butterfly ×5, Hinox Guts ×2 |
Every piece in this set uses these materials.
The fourth star needs 2 Hinox Guts per piece; the Hinox locations page lists every Hinox. Fireproof Lizards and Smotherwing Butterflies live around Death Mountain and also make fireproof elixirs.
When should you wear the Flamebreaker set?
Wear it on Death Mountain, around Eldin’s lava and in Vah Rudania. Once all three are at two stars, fire attacks no longer hurt you either. Outside Eldin you will rarely need it.
