TotK Charged Armor Set: Locations, Set Bonus, Upgrades
Where to find the Charged Headdress, Shirt and Trousers in the ruins of Faron in Tears of the Kingdom, the Stormy Weather Charge bonus and upgrades.
The Charged set is one of three weather sets (with Ember and Frostbite): it only does something while it storms, and then it makes your attacks electric. The three pieces sit in ruins in Faron, close together. See all armor for every set and upgrade materials for the others.
Where do you find each piece of the Charged set?
All three are chests in ruins in Faron:
- Charged Headdress — a ruin at the Dracozu River blocked by vines. Cut the vines with a weapon to get in.
- Charged Shirt — a ruin in Dracozu Lake.
- Charged Trousers — a ruin in Damel Forest blocked by rubble. Break the rubble to get in.

| Charged Shirt | Chest · Dracozu Lake | Show on map |
| Charged Trousers | Chest · Damel Forest | Show on map |
What does the Charged set bonus do?
Set bonus
Stormy Weather Charge
Charge attacks are faster on stormy weather.
Active when all three pieces are at ★★ or higher.
With the set bonus, charge attacks are faster during storms and the final hit of a combo deals electric damage. Each piece on its own has Stormy Weather Attack, which also only works in storms.
How much defense does each piece give?
| Piece | Base | ★ | ★★ | ★★★ | ★★★★ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charged Headdress | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
| Charged Shirt | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
| Charged Trousers | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
3 at base and 20 at four stars.
What does it take to upgrade the Charged set?
Upgrades are done at a Great Fairy Fountain, one star at a time, for rupees plus materials. The table is per piece; the whole set needs three times as much.
| ★ | Materials | Rupees |
|---|---|---|
| ★ | Shock Fruit ×3 | 10 |
| ★★ | Electric Lizalfos Horn ×5, Thunderwing Butterfly ×3 | 50 |
| ★★★ | Shock Like Stone ×5, Electric Darner ×5, Large Zonai Charge ×3 | 200 |
| ★★★★ | Gleeok Thunder Horn ×5, Voltfin Trout ×10, Large Zonai Charge ×5 | 500 |
Every piece in this set uses these materials.
The fourth star needs Gleeok Thunder Horns, which only the Thunder Gleeoks drop; see Gleeok locations. Voltfin Trout is also a cooking ingredient for electro (shock resistance) dishes. The third star takes 5 Shock Like Stones per piece, which Shock Likes always drop.
When should you wear the Charged set?
It is a specialist set. Faron rains often, so it pays off most there and in thunderstorms anywhere. In clear weather it only gives defense, so keep the Barbarian set for general fighting. Mind that metal weapons draw lightning in thunderstorms whatever you wear.
