The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom offers players some interesting new mechanics. From the Fusion Ability which allows you to fuse items together, to the Ascend Ability which allows Link to Ascend through ceilings, the game offers some pretty cool mechanics.
One such ability that Link can obtain is the Autobuild Ability. This allows Link to automatically build fusion items that he has made or that he has schematics for. There are two types of schematics Link can use, Schema Stones and Yiga Schematics. This guide will tell you where to find Yiga Schematics.
What Are Yiga Schematics?
Yiga Schematics are described in-game as "A scrawled schematic for a contraption made of Zonai Devices and building materials. Looks like you can use Autobuild to store schematics and then build from them." What makes these stand out from Schema Stones is that they only use Zonai Devices while Yiga Schematics use building materials as well. They will allow you to create different Yiga Clan vehicles, items, and resources using Autobuild. There are 35 Yiga Schematics in all.
How To Find Yiga Schematics
In order to find Yiga Schematics, you must first find a Yiga Clan Hideout. These are located all over The Depths (34 in all). They usually look like abandoned mines but are not named. However, during the "Master Kohga of the Yiga Clan" quest, you will run into several Yiga Clan Hideouts located in the large abandoned mines in The Depths.
When you first find a Yiga Clan Hideout, you will find a door blocked by a red force field. You'll need to locate the Yiga Clan member in the area that has the same force field. This Yiga Clan member can usually be found roaming the area on some sort of Zonai Vehicle they have created. Once defeated, the force field will disappear.
Once gone, Link can easily enter the building. Inside, you will find 2 chests. One contains a Yiga Schematic and the other contains a Crystallized Charge. The Crystallized Charge allows you to upgrade your Zonai Battery.
Where Are Yiga Clan Hideouts?
YouTuber Dan Berr created a useful map depicting all Yiga Clan Hideouts in The Depths. This shows where 34 of the 35 Yiga Schematics are located. Each Yiga Clan Hideout in The Depths holds a Yiga Schematic for Link.
The final Yiga Schematic can be found in the Shrine of Resurrection. Once you reach the end of the Shrine, you'll find an area where you can drop deeper down into the Shrine. Here, you will find the Yiga Clan. After defeating them, you'll find the final Yiga Schematic.
