Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Find Misko's Cave and Read the Journal
Travel to the Crenel Hills area east of Hyrule Field. Look for a small cave entrance near coordinates (0457, -0105, 0022). Inside, find Misko's journal on a stone pedestal. The journal contains a cryptic riddle: "Where the waterfall splits the ancient rock, strike the wall that weeps." This points to a cave behind a waterfall in the Necluda region.
2
Locate the Waterfall Cave in Necluda
Head to the waterfall east of Dueling Peaks, near the path to Hateno Village. Look for a waterfall along the Squabble River. Swim or glide behind the waterfall to find a hidden cave entrance. The cave is partially blocked by cracked rocks.
3
Break Through the Bombable Wall
Inside the cave, follow the tunnel until you reach a wall with visible cracks. Attach a Rock or Bomb Flower to an arrow and shoot the cracked wall to break through. Alternatively, Fuse a rock to a weapon and strike the wall. Behind the wall is a hidden chamber with a treasure chest.
4
Claim the Barbarian Armor
Open the chest to receive the Barbarian Armor (chest piece). This provides +1 Attack Up when equipped. Collecting all three pieces of the Barbarian set (Armor, Leg Wraps, and Helm from Misko's Treasure II and III) activates the set bonus "Charge Attack Stamina Up," reducing stamina consumed by charged attacks. The Barbarian set is one of the best early-game attack-boosting armor sets.
