How to find it
The entrance is at map coordinates -4673, -1986, near West Gerudo Ruins. Look for the cave mouth at that spot; a Blupee or a ring of light often marks them.
Inside the cave
Break into the sealed rooms
Drop through the opening in the sand and light the passages with Brightbloom Seeds. Stone walls and rubble piles seal the rooms, so use Ultrahand to rearrange plates and throw Bomb Flowers at the cracked sections to blast your way through. Rock monsters wander the halls and drop gems and rare ore when beaten.
Open the Gerudo Spear chest
A chest in a side room holds a Gerudo Spear.
Defeat the Bubbulfrog
A Bubbulfrog hides on the wall of a ruin chamber. Bring it down with an arrow, then take the Bubbul Gem.
Open the Vah Naboris Divine Helm chest
The chest at the far end of the ruins, on a raised stone dais, holds the Vah Naboris Divine Helm, a Gerudo helm with shock resistance. Ascend through the ceiling to leave.
Quick facts and tips
| How to enter | Under the north-western-most giant skeleton in the desert, south of Mayamats Shrine. A small hole near the skeleton’s centre is plugged by rocks; blow it open with a Bomb Flower or Time Bomb and drop in. |
|---|---|
| Route | The whole ruin is packed with breakable sediment, so expect to burn through many weapons. Statues holding swords point the way: head west and then south from the entrance room. Fuse Bomb Flowers or rocks to weapons, or use a Cannon on Mineru or Yunobo’s power to clear the rubble faster. |
| Chests | Gerudo Spear; Vah Naboris Divine Helm (Shock Resistance) at the end of the dig, beside a lever that opens the gate out |
| Bubbulfrog | In a room with a Rare Ore Deposit just south of the entrance room, around -4685, -2062 |
| Enemies | A Shock Like in the north-west corner and rock monsters in the halls |
| Korok seeds and shrine | None |
