Hey there, fellow adventurer! Have you been scouring Hyrule for those elusive Divine Beast helms in Tears of the Kingdom? I know I have, and let me tell you, they're not just cosmetic treasures—they pack some serious defensive perks that can make your journey through the Regional Phenomena a whole lot smoother. Remember how in Breath of the Wild you could only get these helms by scanning those Four Champions amiibo? Well, surprise! In TotK, you can still do that, but you can also find them hidden in secret caves across the land. Trust me, hunting them down is worth every minute, especially since they amplify your Sage abilities. So, want to know where to find each one? Let's dive in.
❄️ Vah Medoh Divine Helm – Cold Resistance
First up, the Vah Medoh Divine Helm. This beauty grants you Cold Resistance, which is a lifesaver in the frozen peaks of Hebra. I remember trekking through North Biron Snowshelf and wishing I had it sooner. You'll want to head to the North Biron Snowshelf Cave at coordinates (-3962, 3274, 0240). The easiest way to get there is to fast travel to Rospro Pass Skyview Tower and glide north. But be warned: the area is freezing, and there's a Frost Gleeok lurking nearby. Unless you're ready for a tough fight, sneak past it.
Once inside the cave, you'll face a puzzle that requires melting ice and breaking rocks at a distance. I highly recommend bringing a Zonai Flame Emitter to melt the large ice block blocking the entrance. You'll also need Bomb Flowers or a weapon fused with a rock-breaking item. There are a few Bomb Flowers inside, but they're just enough for the puzzle.
If you have the Revali amiibo, you can also scan it once a day for a chance to get this helm from a chest. But where's the fun in that when you can explore?
⚡ Vah Naboris Divine Helm – Shock Resistance
Next, the Vah Naboris Divine Helm, which gives you Shock Resistance. This one is a game-changer in the Gerudo region, especially when dealing with lightning strikes. I can't tell you how many times I got zapped before finding this. Head to the West Gerudo Underground Ruins. Fast travel to Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower, then glide southwest to the entrance at coordinates (-4673, -1976, 0023).
You'll spot a Shock Like and a small hole beneath a large ribcage—that's your way in. Bring Bomb Flowers to break rocks, or just use a fused weapon. Inside, you'll find plenty of two-handed weapons and rocks to help you solve the puzzle.
The Urbosa amiibo also works if you want to try your luck that way.
🔥 Vah Rudania Divine Helm – Flame Guard
Now, the Vah Rudania Divine Helm provides Flame Guard, protecting you from intense heat and fire damage (but not desert heat, so don't confuse it). This one is the easiest to get, in my opinion. Head to Death Caldera, specifically between two small lizard-shaped lakes. Fast travel to Sibajitak Shrine.
You'll find a breakable stone wall at coordinates (2200, 3079, 0405). Destroy it to enter Lizard's Burrow cave. From there, just break a few stones and you'll reach the chest. No complicated puzzles here—just a quick smash-and-grab.
Daruk amiibo fans can also scan for a chance at this helm.
🌊 Vah Ruta Divine Helm – Swim Speed Up
Finally, the Vah Ruta Divine Helm offers a Swim Speed Up bonus that stacks with other swim speed items. This one's a bit tricky. It's found in the Cave Under Zora's Domain. Fast travel to Mogawak Shrine inside Zora's Domain. If you haven't unlocked it, glide down from Upland Zorana Skyview Tower.
From the shrine, climb the ladder to the bridge, go past the first large waterfall, then jump off and glide backward through the waterfall to land inside the cave entrance at coordinates (3244, 0376, 0078).
Inside, you'll solve a puzzle to get the helm. The Mipha amiibo also gives you a shot at it.
