The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is filled with varied weather conditions that require you to equip appropriate gear to traverse them. The Death Mountain location in Tears of the Kingdom has many fire areas, requiring you to brew up a fire-resistant elixir or find yourself fire-resistant gear.
Lucky for you, the Flamebreaker armor set provides you immunity in fire areas, and it can be easily purchased from an armor shop in Goron City. While it is easy to grab this armor set from the armor shop, it's not a cheap set to purchase and may require you to stock up on some serious rupees.
Updated by Chad Thesen on July 7, 2023: This guide has been updated to now include a whole new section at its end, dedicated to the process of upgrading this armour. There is also now a table included that will state how many Ruppes the upgrade process will cost players, as well as what materials they will need to have with them.
Flamebreaker Armor Set Shop Location
The armor shop you'll be looking for is located in Goron City west of Death Mountain in the northeastern region of the map. If you have already explored this area, you might have found the Marakuguc Shrine that you can use to fast travel to Goron City. However, if you've not explored this area, you can refer to the image above to for the exact location of the city.
Once you reach Goron City, you'll notice that this small town has many shops, but the armor shop can be found in the western part of the town. The shop is easy to find, as you can spot an NPC sitting outside the shop, munching on a snack.
As you enter the shop, you'll find the Flamebreaker set waiting for you to purchase, however, it comes with a big price tag. The cost of each piece of the armor set is as follows:
- Flambreaker Boots costs 1,200 rupees
- Flamebreaker Armor costs 700 rupees
- Flamebreaker Helm costs 1,400 rupees
If you're early into the game, it can be challenging to acquire 3,400 rupees, but if you're somewhere in the mid-game, saving up 3,400 rupees can be easy. However, if you're running short on currency, you can also go out for hunting to acquire money.
Flamebreaker Armor Set Perk
If you have saved up the required amount of rupees and bought the Flamebreaker armor set, you can wear all pieces to achieve complete immunity to fire and heat. However, if you choose to mix armors, you can still gain significant resistance to fire and heat by just wearing one piece of the Flamebreaker armor set.
Once again, if you are early in the game, and exploring fire and heat regions, it is recommended to hunt for fire-proof lizards and prepare fireproof elixirs. However, you should prioritize purchasing the Flamebreaker armor set as quickly as possible since it is the best flame resistant item in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Upgrading The Flamebreaker Armor
If you head on over to the great Fairy Fountain, you will be able to upgrade your Flamebreaker Armor. You will need to have a certain amount of rupees and other required materials to do so. Below you can find a table detailing these requirements.
