BotW Salvager Armor Set: Xenoblade Quest Shooting Star Chests
How to get the Salvager Headwear, Vest and Trousers in Breath of the Wild from the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 quest's red shooting stars, and the swim bonus.
The Salvager set is a swimming set from a collaboration with Xenoblade Chronicles 2: three red shooting stars, three red chests. For every set see all armor; for the Great Fairies see armor upgrade materials.
How do you get the Salvager set?
The side quest Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was added in version 1.3.3. Its clue: “The southern sky from the middle of the largest bridge. The eastern sky from the skull’s left eye. The southeastern sky from the peak of the tall, pierced snowy mountain.” Go to each place at night, look in that direction, and a red shooting star falls; a red chest stands where it lands.
- Salvager Headwear — stand in the middle of the Bridge of Hylia and look south. Watch out for Lizalfos on the bridge.
- Salvager Vest — travel to Zuna Kai Shrine at Skull Lake and look east.
- Salvager Trousers — climb to the top of Hebra Peak and look southeast, then glide down to the chest.

What does the set bonus do?
Set bonus
Swim Dash Stamina Up
Cannot be upgraded, so the bonus is on as soon as you wear all three pieces.
Each piece raises swim speed; the full set adds Swim Dash Stamina Up: dashing in water uses 50% less stamina — the same bonus as the Zora set. The set cannot be upgraded, so it applies as soon as all three pieces are worn.
How much defense does it give?
| Piece | Base |
|---|---|
| Salvager Headwear | 5 |
| Salvager Vest | 5 |
| Salvager Trousers | 5 |
5 per piece. It cannot be upgraded or dyed, and after you have found it Granté in Tarrey Town sells it again.
