Plenty of armor and costumes make a repeat appearance fromBreath of the Wild, ranging from the Champion’s Tunic to the Sheikah-styled Stealth Armor. You can also get your hands on the iconic headpiece worn by the shadowy imp Midna, who was first seen inThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Where To Find Midna’s Helmet
To addMidna’s Helmetto your collection of rare items, you’ll need to make your way to The Depths under Eventide Island.The island is in the far southeast corner of the map, and while it is pretty far from the mainland, there are plenty of ways to reach it.
Get To Eventide Island
If you start inHateno Village, you can follow a path down to the shore by Hateno Bay. There will be a few materials and Zonai devices already around that can be fashioned into a boat, and any devices you have on hand can help as well.From Hateno Bay, your goal will be to sail southeast across the Necluda Sea..
you’re able to evenmake a pitstop on the tiny Tenoko Island, which will have even more materials and Zonai devices for you to switch out, or to make a new boat entirely.
If you havethe Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower activated, another option is tolaunch yourself up into the Necluda Sky Archipelago to get to Eventide Island from the skies. From here, you may find the optimal spot to launch some form of Zonai Glider contraption that works for you. A single glider unfortunately won’t make it all the way to the island, buta backup glider, or a mix of gliding and using the Sage of Wind ability, should carry you the rest of the way.
Ultimately, you will need to get to the northern end of the island to find the Eventide Island Chasm.This can be found around the coordinates (4503, -3447, 0000).
Enter The Eventide Island Chasm
Jump into the chasm and you’ll find yourself diving into the darkness of the Necluda Sea Depths.If you pull out your paraglider in time, you will be able to glide to the top of the Lone Island Coliseum.
Be careful not to accidentally jump or glide into the pit, as you should take some time to scope out your surroundings.
Toss or shoot someBrightbloom Seedsaround, and you’ll notice several gloom-ridden enemies locked behind differentgates of the coliseum,with a locked chest in the center.
Go south past the coliseum, and you’ll quickly reach theNi-iraram Lightroot. Activate the Lightroot to get some extra visibility in this entire area.
Fight For Your Life
With Midna’s Helmet within reach, verify you are ready for a fight.It’s a good idea to have meals that can heal gloom, just in case you get low on hearts.Having a stock ofPuffshrooms, for smoke cover, orDazzlefruits, to briefly blind enemies, can help give you some utility in the upcoming fight as well.
Once you are ready, enter the coliseum and head toward the chest in the center.You will soon initiate five increasingly difficult rounds of Bokoblin fights before you’re able to attain your prize.
Round 5
One Red, one Blue, one Black, and one Silver Bokoblin
The first few rounds should be easy enough if you are even slightly prepared. The fourth round’s Silver Bokoblin might provide some trouble, and you should be careful as it wields anelectric-tipped sword.
The final round is by far the toughest, as you will have three blood-thirsty Bokoblins bearing down on you while the fourth stays at range to shoot bomb arrows at you! If you’re lucky enough, and careful enough with timing,the ranged Bokoblin can actually shoot those bomb arrows right into its friends.A little of that friendly fire can help you out, but when you no longer want to risk it, take out the ranged Bokoblin to focus on the melee ones.
If you have any of theSage avatars unlocked, you can activate them as allies to take some of the heat off of you in group fights.Enemies will sometimes focus attacking the avatars instead, but sometimes randomly re-focus on you as well.
After conquering all five rounds, you can open the coliseum’s chest to receive your well-earned reward.
Stats And Uses For Midna’s Helmet
Aside from being a fashionable headpiece,Midna’s Helmet increases your total defense stat by seven. Unfortunately, the helmetcan’t be upgraded, but the defense boost is still worthwhile if you haven’t worked on upgrading your other equipment yet.
More importantly,Midna’s Helmet also offers gloom resistance. When wearing this item, you will gain an additional temporary heart that will be consumed by gloom first before your actual permanent hearts are affected.
Midna’s Helmetpairs well with pieces of the Depths armor setyou canbuy from Bargainer’s Statues, which also provide gloom resistance. If you find yourself exploring the Depths, or fighting gloom-filled enemies, Midna’s Helmet could certainly be useful.
