TotK Gerudo Scimitar: Attack, Durability and Locations

Gerudo Scimitar is a one-handed weapon in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The game describes it this way: “A decaying scimitar from the Gerudo region, it is designed for maximizing force. Attaching a material greatly enhances the material’s power but doesn’t add as much durability.” This page gives its numbers and maps every place the game puts one.

The decayed Gerudo Scimitar is the one found on the surface; the intact one, with its own Compendium number, is covered in pristine weapons.

Where do you get Gerudo Scimitar?

The game’s world data places it in 12 spots: 4 in treasure chests, 3 carried by monsters, and 5 lying in the world. The most are near Palu Wasteland in Gerudo (3).

The same spots summed by nearest landmark, largest group first. “Show on map” moves the map above to one of them.

• Carried by a monster: beat the monster and it drops the weapon. Most often Black Lizalfos (2) and Black Bokoblin (1).
• Treasure chest: a chest can be opened only once.
• Lying in the world: placed in the scenery, free to pick up.

How good is Gerudo Scimitar?

Decayed it has attack 8 and durability 10; intact, 17 and 14. The effect the game gives it: Attaching a material greatly enhances the material’s power but doesn’t add as much durability. The number is before Fuse; what a fused material adds is in the Fuse guide, and how durability runs down in weapon durability.
