TotK Royal Guard Armor Set: Hyrule Castle Chests and Set Bonus
Where to find the Royal Guard Cap, Uniform and Boots in Hyrule Castle in Tears of the Kingdom, the Charge Atk. Stamina Up bonus, defense and upgrades.
The Royal Guard set is a Hyrule Castle set: all three pieces are chests inside the castle, and the bonus is the same charged-attack one as the Barbarian set. For every set see all armor.
Where do you find each piece of the Royal Guard set?
All three are chests in Hyrule Castle (positions from the game’s placement data):
- Royal Guard Cap — Princess Zelda’s Room.
- Royal Guard Uniform — above the Guards’ Chamber: Ascend through the ceiling with cobwebs. Put a wooden slab under that spot with Ultrahand first, because the floor there is covered in Gloom.
- Royal Guard Boots — the King’s Study.
How to get into the castle, and its other chests, are in the Hyrule Castle guide.

|---|---|---|

| Royal Guard Uniform | Chest · Guards' Chamber | Show on map |

Every piece in this set uses these materials.
The top star needs guts from two big monsters, see Moldugas and Gleeoks.
