Where to find the Ember Headdress, Shirt and Trousers in Eldin caves in Tears of the Kingdom, the Hot Weather Charge bonus, defense and upgrades.

Where do you find each piece of the Ember set?
All three are cave chests in Eldin (positions from the game’s placement data):
- Ember Headdress — YunoboCo HQ South Cave.
- Ember Shirt — Goronbi River Cave.
- Ember Trousers — Cephla Lake Cave, in Eldin Canyon.

What does the Ember set bonus do?
Set bonus
Hot Weather Charge
Charge attacks are faster on hot weather.
Active when all three pieces are at ★★ or higher.
With the set bonus, Charge Attacks are faster in hot weather and the final combo hit deals fire damage. Each piece has Hot Weather Attack on its own.
How much defense does each piece give?
| Piece | Base | ★ | ★★ | ★★★ | ★★★★ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ember Headdress | 2 | 4 | 6 | 9 | 16 |
| Ember Shirt | 2 | 4 | 6 | 9 | 16 |
| Ember Trousers | 2 | 4 | 6 | 9 | 16 |
2 at base and 16 at four stars — lower than most sets.
What does it take to upgrade the Ember 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ★ | Fire Fruit ×3 | 10 |
| ★★ | Fire-Breath Lizalfos Horn ×5, Summerwing Butterfly ×5 | 50 |
| ★★★ | Fire Like Stone ×5, Warm Darner ×5, Large Zonai Charge ×5 | 200 |
| ★★★★ | Gleeok Flame Horn ×5, Sizzlefin Trout ×10, Large Zonai Charge ×10 | 500 |
Every piece in this set uses these materials.
Gleeok Flame Horns come from Flame Gleeoks, see Gleeok locations. The third star takes 5 Fire Like Stones per piece, which Fire Likes always drop.
