Quest Overview
Don a Yiga Clan disguise and infiltrate their fortified hideout deep in the Gerudo Highlands. Navigate shifting trap corridors, avoid detection by roving Yiga members, and recover the stolen Gerudo artifact from the inner vault. Getting caught triggers a combat encounter — stealth and Puffshrooms are your best tools throughout this mission.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Find the Yiga Clan Hideout Entrance
Travel to the Gerudo Highlands, northwest of Gerudo Town. The hideout entrance is concealed behind a large rock wall in a canyon — look for Yiga banners near coordinates (-3645, -2855, 0042). Use a cave entrance marked by torch-lit pillars to enter.
2
Obtain the Yiga Clan Disguise
Inside the initial cave area, defeat the lone Yiga Footsoldier guarding the entrance. Pick up the dropped Yiga Mask from a chest nearby. Equip the full Yiga set (if you have it) or just the mask to avoid detection. Alternatively, gather Mighty Bananas — you can use them to distract Yiga guards.
3
Navigate the Hideout Traps
The hideout is filled with patrolling Yiga Blademasters and pressure plate traps. Crouch-walk to reduce noise. Drop Mighty Bananas to lure guards away from their patrol routes. Key hazards include pit traps (use Ascend if you fall), laser tripwires (crouch under them), and rooms that lock when an alarm triggers.
4
Recover the Gerudo Artifact
In the deepest chamber of the hideout, find the stolen artifact on a pedestal surrounded by Yiga guards. You can either fight them all head-on (be ready for Blademasters with two-handed weapons) or use stealth and banana distractions to grab the artifact and escape. Grab the Yiga Armor pieces from chests in the treasure room adjacent to the pedestal.
5
Claim Your Reward
Return to Gerudo Town with the artifact to complete the quest. You keep the Yiga Armor Set (wearing the full set makes Yiga Clan members treat you as an ally) and the Vicious Sickle weapon. The Yiga Armor set is useful for infiltrating other Yiga camps and the Depths Yiga bases.
