TotK Jewelry and Monster Masks: Prices, Effects, Where to Get
Tears of the Kingdom jewelry from the Gerudo Town shop: prices, effects, upgrade materials, plus the five monster masks, where to get them and whether they work.
This page covers two kinds of headgear in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that belong to no armor set: the six jewelry pieces sold in Gerudo Town, and the five monster masks Kilton made and Koltin hands out. Jewelry costs rupees; masks cost Bubbul Gems. For every armor piece see all armor.
Where do you buy jewelry, and what does it cost?
All six pieces are sold by Cara at Starlight Memories, the jewelry shop in Gerudo Town (Show on map). It takes rupees only; you do not need to bring gems. The game also places Cara in the Gerudo Shelter (Show on map); if you find her there, she sells the same six pieces at the same prices.
| Jewelry | Price (rupees) | Effect | Defense (base → 4 stars) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amber Earrings | 400 | None (defense only) | 4 → 28 |
| Opal Earrings | 700 | Swim Speed Up | 3 → 20 |
| Topaz Earrings | 1,200 | Shock Resistance | 3 → 18 |
| Ruby Circlet | 1,300 | Cold Resistance | 3 → 20 |
| Sapphire Circlet | 1,400 | Heat Resistance | 3 → 20 |
| Diamond Circlet | 2,400 | Attack Up | 4 → 28 |
All six together cost 7,400 rupees. If you are short, see how to farm rupees.
What does each piece do?
Each description credits the gem’s power for the effect:
- Diamond Circlet: “It’s decorated with a diamond, which harnesses the power of light to increase attack power.” Among headgear with Attack Up, its 28 defense at four stars is the highest (the Barbarian Helm and Fierce Deity Mask reach 20). It has no set bonus.
- Ruby Circlet and Sapphire Circlet: Cold Resistance and Heat Resistance, for when you want the protection without changing your whole outfit. For how temperature works see temperature and weather.
- Topaz Earrings: Shock Resistance. They top out at 18 defense, a little below the others.
- Opal Earrings: Swim Speed Up, the same effect as the Zora Helm.
- Amber Earrings: no special effect; amber “harnesses the power of the land to increase defense when equipped.” At four stars they match the Diamond Circlet’s 28 for the lowest price, a good pick when all you want is defense.
Jewelry is never part of a set, so wearing it gives up the head piece of any set bonus. For what to wear for each job, see best armor.
How do you upgrade jewelry, and what does it take?
All six go to four stars at a Great Fairy Fountain, for 10, 50, 200 and 500 rupees per star (760 in all) on top of the materials.
| Jewelry | ★1 | ★2 | ★3 | ★4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond Circlet | Diamond ×2, Flint ×3 | Diamond ×3, Flint ×5 | Diamond ×5, Star Fragment ×1 | Diamond ×8, Star Fragment ×2 |
| Ruby Circlet | Ruby ×2, Flint ×3 | Ruby ×4, Flint ×5 | Ruby ×6, Star Fragment ×1 | Ruby ×10, Star Fragment ×2 |
| Sapphire Circlet | Sapphire ×2, Flint ×3 | Sapphire ×4, Flint ×5 | Sapphire ×6, Star Fragment ×1 | Sapphire ×10, Star Fragment ×2 |
| Topaz Earrings | Topaz ×2, Flint ×3 | Topaz ×4, Flint ×5 | Topaz ×6, Star Fragment ×1 | Topaz ×10, Star Fragment ×2 |
| Opal Earrings | Opal ×6, Flint ×5 | Opal ×12, Flint ×10 | Opal ×18, Flint ×15 | Opal ×30, Flint ×25 |
| Amber Earrings | Amber ×10, Flint ×5 | Amber ×20, Flint ×10 | Amber ×35, Flint ×15 | Amber ×60, Flint ×25 |
Totals to four stars: the Diamond Circlet needs 18 Diamonds, 8 Flint and 3 Star Fragments; the Ruby Circlet, Sapphire Circlet and Topaz Earrings each need 22 of their gem, 8 Flint and 3 Star Fragments; the Opal Earrings need 66 Opals and 55 Flint; the Amber Earrings need 125 Amber and 55 Flint. Amber and Opal go fast, so see gem farming; for Star Fragments see Star Fragment farming. The armor upgrade calculator adds up several pieces at once.
Where do you get the monster masks?
Kilton made all five masks, and in Tears of the Kingdom his brother Koltin trades them for Bubbul Gems. You hand him the first gem during The Hunt for Bubbul Gems! and get the Bokoblin Mask; after that, during The Search for Koltin, each gem counts toward the next reward:
| Mask | Gems for this reward | Running total | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bokoblin Mask | 1 | 1 | “It’s almost charming in a cute, monstrous kind of way… Equip it to blend in with Bokoblins.” |
| Moblin Mask | 2 | 3 | “It’s designed to replicate the distinct, long, Moblin nose and hanging tongue.” |
| Lizalfos Mask | 3 | 14 | “It’s designed to replicate even those goggling eyeballs of the Lizalfos.” |
| Horriblin Mask | 4 | 29 | “The big nose and smiley mouth look just like those of the real monster…” |
| Lynel Mask | 4 | 37 | “It’s so well crafted, it can deceive a real Lynel.” |
Materials and the Mystic set sit between the masks; the full reward list and where all 147 Bubbulfrogs live are on Bubbul Gems.
Every mask has 3 defense and cannot be upgraded or dyed. After The Mayoral Election in Hateno Village, Cece sells any mask you have owned before for 4,000 rupees each; see the Hateno mayoral election.
Can you blend in with monsters while wearing a mask?
Yes, but only with that one kind of monster. In the Bokoblin Mask, a Bokoblin that spots you comes over to look but does not attack. Link also takes on a monster’s idle stance, and reportedly makes monster noises as he walks.
Things to know:
- Only its own kind is fooled. In the Bokoblin Mask, a Lizalfos or Moblin nearby will still attack you.
- Lynels see through it. The Lynel Mask’s description ends with “don’t linger too long. Those beasts are smart.” A Lynel holds off at first, then recognizes you and attacks anyway.
- Attacking reportedly breaks the disguise. If the masks work as they did in Breath of the Wild, the monsters fight back once you hit them; putting a mask on after they have already spotted you is also said not to fool them.
