Where to Get the Archaic Armor Set in Tears of the Kingdom
There are two primary armor pieces in the Archaic Armor set, the Shirt and the Pants. The pants are some of the first items you can find while exploring the Great Sky Island in Tears of the Kingdom, so you should be able to grab those relatively fast.
The Archaic pants will appear at the end of the cave when you first begin playing Tears of the Kingdom inside the Room of Awakening.
The Archaic Tunic is a bit tougher to find in Tears of the Kingdom. You’ll need to progress through the first of the Great Sky Island until you reach the southern area of this region. There’s a cave you can explore called the Pondside Cave, and there will be a chest to the left of the exit. Head inside this room, and you’ll find the shirt, completing the Archaic Armor set.
However, there is a final Archaic armor piece on the Great Sky Island. You can find it after you’ve completed the Gutanbac Shrine, the final Shrine you need to finish for The Closed Door quest. Here, you’ll unlock the Ascend ability.
With the Ascend Ability, walk out of the Gutanbac Shrine, there is a small platform leading to another platform. Use the Ascend Ability to jump up, and you’ll end at the hollowed-out bottom of a tree. On the right side of this tree is the Archaic Warm Greaves, which will give you Cold Resistance.
