This is Austin's 53rd video uploaded in the past 2 weeks... Seriously, I cant thank you enough for pumping out this ToTK content since launch. I'm enjoying the heck out of this game, and these videos make me love it even more
Plus if you know your route starting from the castle you can get it SUPER early. Granted I didn't watch the guide to find zonite set as I want to stumble into it. So I don't know how easy that is to get.
Yeah, the Soldier is, like, "basic" heavy armor, upgrades with slightly easier-to-obtain materials. Like BotW, it is meant to be supplanted by harder-to-get sets which have less common materials to upgrade with.
In BOTW the soldier's armor also had the same stats and was tied for the highest defensive clothing together with the ancient armor and the of the wild set. However, the last two also outclassed it by having useful bonuses much as the zonaite armor does in TOTK
Not only that if you wanted something to wear that would show links face but also have the same level of defense as those armors then amber earrings were perfect for that because fully upgraded they also gave 28 defense
Just like with the Hylian set, the major selling point of the Soldier armor is how easy it is to upgrade and, in doing so, grants such a huge boost to defense early on. Because, let's be honest, you're gonna be able to upgrade the soldier set way before the zonite set.
Just so everyone knows, you can do the Royal Passage backwards if you enter through Hyrule Castle from the Observation Room metal grate. That way you don't need the opening in the Emergency Shelter.
This is actually how I found one part by councidence. Tried testing if I could get into the castle und then went down the broken stairs from the first floor.
Came here to say this. Did it by accident in the beginning and was met with a closed off wall at the very end that would have been the Emergency Shelter, but I had all the stuff by then.
I think the Ancient set in Breath of the Wild had the same defense as the Soldier set but you got ancient weapon proficiency. Seems like Zonaite set is a straight replacement for Ancient set.
I'm pretty sure it is just a cheap reskin because the hit boxes aren't the same length as the models the hit boxes are FAR too long and the long sword has the same blade as the short sword same size same everything so that makes the wonky hitboxes even easier to notice edit the only reason why I know the size of the hit box is because I swing the sword in grass and yes it cuts grass further than the blade actually reaches so yeah try not to use the weapons in long grass otherwise you will just feel uncomfortable
the "Of the Wild" set did, and still does, have the same defense stats, and its not nearly as tedious to get in this game as the in BOTW. In fact I think its a less of an issue to get than the Zonaite armor set.
Hey austin, I just wanna say thanks for grinding this out, you've heard this a million times but as a non zelda viewer, you make these videos fun even if I dont know whats going on. Thank you :)
You can actually get access to the soldier armor before you have access to the sanctuary, in my play through I was exploring around the ruins of Castle town and what was left of the base of the castle and there is a balcony that you can see just passed the massive iron doors that'll get you access to the Royal Retreat passage or whatever it's called
Hate on the soldiers armor all you want but in my opinion it still looks the absolute best with the hylian hood like a paladin sort of thing and that's why I will never abandon the soldiers armor
If the Royal Guard set bonus is the same as it was in BotW, it does more than reduce stamina usage for charge attacks. It also reduces usage from jumping while climbing and dashing while swimming.
The Royal Guard Armour is supposed to be early game high defense armour while the Zonite armour is end game armour. The fact you got them in reverse shouldn't subtract from their intention. The Soldier armour I've used as cheap slot filler when i don't have full sets of armour.
I’ve been watching Austin since Sun and Moon and one fact about him is that he grinds out quality videos for Pokémon and Zelda and helps me with most of my play throughs. Thank you Austin. ❤
I haven’t been able to test it yet, but in botw, the royal guard set had hidden bonuses for swim dash and jump climb stamina up. That made it one of my favorite from the dlc.
@@ApotheosizD "Wearing the full set says that it only decreases usage Stamina of Link's charge attack but it also reduces the swimming dash stamina cost by 50% and climbing jump stamina cost by 50%. For some reason it does not decrease the rate of stamina usage in bullet time." - Zelda Fandom Wiki
In BOTW the royal guard armor reduced ALL the "wheel chunk stamina consumtions" despite the description not saying that. Please check if its still the same in this game. IDK if it was unintentional from nintendo or the description was broken in the translation but its definetly worth checking if its still as OP in this game as it was in BOTW. Its pretty much climber + zora armor together with higher defences and charged attack stamina bonus, it was really busted. I wonder if it also affects bullet time in this game, since it now also uses 30% of your stamina instead of depleting over time.
I did not know it was so broken playing the game again well I'm going to use that armour a lot of course I'm not using a fresh save file I am not ditching my tunic and almost 100% save
sadly, from upgrading to max, its not, and i never quite feel like the slight extra armor does all that much when the set bonus is so minor, and gloom enemies always feel like they deal a whole heart on hit due to gloom effect regardless, so, that is a major bummer, as i would so use it instead of the climbing set if that were the case
I found the soldier armor by accident right when I finished Rito Village 😄 now I’m finally going back for the royal guard outfit bc it’s my favorite lookswise besides the 3 dragon outfits & the fierce deity one
Just want to make a comment to thank you for all of the fantastic guide videos that you've put out through the years. I've used guides from your videos for pretty much all of the pokemon games on switch, as well as zelda games like botw, skyward sword hd, link's awakening, and now tears of the kingdom. I've even used some of your guides for animal crossing new horizons. You have had not only the most consistent guides, but also some of the best on the platform. Once, again thank you for all of fantastic guide videos!
I remember visiting lookout landing after getting 2 sages and was surprised by the new cave. What surprised me more was the sheer length of it. It honestly took me 30 minutes to carefully get everything.
Thank you for the awesome and helpful guides you do, I remember watching your Trial of the Sword guide as I was playing it, and it helped a ton. So good to see the same great quality and in-depth detail being brought to Tears of the Kingdom. Keep up the great work man, really appreciate the content!
Ok some extras and a fix for Austin here 1. You can get the royal guard shirt in the Hateno clothing shop for 2.2 rupees, better to get it in this way than in the shop but the more you know 2. The "of the wild set" was not the only set that rivaled the Soldiers armor for the defense. They Ancient (guardian) armor also did such, and I'm pretty sure Austin pointed this out his Zelda vid lol
I remember finding you for BOTW evern tho i saw videos of pokemon, but thats when i subbed. Come full circle and i cant thank you enough for all youve done and keeping me updated and being honest.
Hey Austin, I was wondering if you could make a video on all of the glider fabrics? I know you did amibo exclusive ones but everything online seems to be wrong or leave out some fabrics like Koltins
Can you do a video explaining the Gibdo Bone farm, I saw you mention it in the Sage Abilities video and I don't want to complete Gerudo until I'm properly stocked up.
Honestly I didn't even think the soldiers armour was in this game, I've found a few pieces of all of the armours but not a single piece of the soldier one . That's why we have you austin 😂. Keep up the good work mate
Honestly the armour was done horribly in this game makes more sense to sell soldiers armour because there was more of it than royal guards armour but now they sell royal guards armour in the shop instead of the soldiers armour at hateno
Austin, you're hands down THE GOAT 🐐 of TOTK content... your videos saved me soooo much time. Just finished the story last night and breezed thru Ganon and his goons with my maxed out Fierce Deity Armor and Lynel bows on the first try. Thanks for everything! Much appreciated 🤝🏽 Keep up the great work!
I think the best set in the game right now is probably any set that has atk up as the set bonus (the "of the wild" set is probably the best because it's 28 def on each piece) because it actually stacks with the triple atk up from food, unlike the armors that have one atk up on each individual piece.
Do we know the value of that set bonus yet? That could be pretty game changing if it does stack with attack up, similar to how this last week people realized that bone proficiency is still in the game and functions identically to how it did in BotW
@@conorb.1901 it's already been confirmed that using an atk up set and switching back to the silver lynel horn is better than bone wep proficiency because the set bonus is the same as a lv 3 atk up but without taking the same "slot" as it. So instead of ~1.8x (bone prof) and 1.5x (lv3 atk) with the 32 damage molduga jaw, now you go to 1.5x (armor set bonus) and 1.5x (lv3 atk) and 55 damage saber horn
Actually... The best overall "Set" in this game should be Diamond circlet, Tunic of Leathers and Soldier's legs. That should give you the highest defense stat in the game plus a small attack boost.
@@LilyArlatto okay, I just wanted to know the value on it. If it's equivalent to a level 3 attack boost and still stacks with it for 2.25x total damage, that's close enough that sufficiently high power weapons could beat the 2.7 multiplier from bone prof and attack up. This really is a Monolith Soft game, lol. Just stack more multipliers until you win.
@@conorb.1901 pretty sure the set bonus version of atk up is the same as having 3 pieces of atk up armor on, which is the same as level 3 attack up food
I find reward of the Soldier's armor for clearing the Emergency Shelter to be a fitting reward, especially for being a part of one of the more labyrinthian cave systems in the game. Better than simply purchasing it like BotW. It feels earned, and is really helpful during early game.
Not sure if anyone has said it yet but to clarify with Austin, you do have to complete at least one of the regional quest to get the passage to open. I came in the back way to find the wall left and did the Rito quest then came back and it was open
Also of note, if you've done the Mayoral Race quest in Hateno, the Royal Guard's uniform is actually available at CeCe's shop! Ya know. If you don't feel like searching down that particular chest. Not sure if she offers the rest of the set later on tho cause i haven't done any of the regional phenomena yet. Also btw it's definitely one regional phenomenon, i have way more than 5 hearts and it hasn't unlocked for me yet
The emergency shelter can be accessed through the castle side entrance right from the start of the game, also its sad how heavily nerfed the royal guard armour is in this game :(
@Diego Medina outclassed defensively against guardians, because for some reason most of their laser damage was fire/explosion damage. Ancient proficiency made the ancient armor far and away the best armor for combat
You want arrows? Go to a stable. See beedle. buy arrows from . Go to the next stable. See Beedle. buy arrows from him. Go to the next stable. See Beedle. Buy arrows from him. And so on and so forth.
You can actually get the soldiers armour through a cave at the bit of hyrule castle that isnt floating. It was pretty much one of the first things i did exploring at the start of the game.
soldiers armour you need 1 part of main quest to open the path to the heart, stamina swapper. on second save i went and got all shrines before any temples and its still not open. so rito it is. but you can get it if you start from hyrule castle
It's kinda funny how I found this channel looking for the soldiers armor in BOTW and now as soon an I want to find it in TOTK Austin uploads the exact video
just a heads up you can get into the cave for the soldiers armor at the very beginning of the game (as soon as you land on the ground) there's cave entrances to it in the castle (the part that remained on the ground)
I only have one temple completed. (Thw one you suggested to do last in abother video) and the shelter pathway is open. there is also an entrance in hyrule castle. i donated an apple to a cherry tree to find it.
I agree about the arrows thing 😂 I’m always swimming in arrows. It’s clearly a skill issue if you’re running out. Thanks for the vid! I couldn’t find the chest piece.
Bro. The first time I did this cave, I took three blood moon's worth of my throwaway weapons fused to rocks going back and forth for the rusty ones dropped along the way. Only came back for the black rock wall once I got the right tool for the job, Goro. Better experience for me than any of the actual dungeons for the sheer unknown depth and that indefinite spelunking feeling.
I got two parts of the Soldiers armor today and got to the end of the cave. Didn’t want to comb back through for the last piece so I was just gonna wait for Austin to upload on it, two hours later and 😂
Does the royal guard outfit still have the hidden perks? In botw the set bonus said it reduced the stamina used in charge attacks, but what the game didn't tell you is that it also reduced climb jump stamina like the climbing gear and swim dash stamina like the zora armor, so i was wondering if that carried over, i doubt it, but it's worth asking
I love the ending... "Welp, here's how to get doodoo armor. If you found this video helpful give it a thumbs up!" Austin is hilarious. The pinecone is probably going to be something I do forever now honestly... has the same energy as """Ooo, piece of candy!"
Not sure if you get the same results with the cannon or bombs, but if you break up the blue rocks manually, they sometimes drop gemstones. I ended up with a quite a few by the time I was done.
You don’t need to have the Lookout Landing entrance open to get the Soldiers armour. Just go to the bottom half of Hyrule Castle and there’s two different entrances to that are connected to that same underground tunnel system. Just move the grates open with ultrahand. One is in the Observation room where the statue used to be and the other is in a small room to the side when going down a set of stairs, a Korok used to be in said room in BotW.
I love looking for the outfits man worth it got the Champion’s Leathers, Soldier’s Gear and Royal Guard Outfits so far some of my favourites 😍 Can’t wait to find more.
To open the emergency shelter in Lookout landing I believe all you need to do is talk to the guy with a spear directly on top of it. I am not sure if you can get access before but I think you need to have done the early game part of crisis at Hyrule castle. Once Purah goes to the tower then you will have access to the bunker. But for the wall section to break open you have to have done 1/4 of regional phenomena. There is also a way to get into the cave ,directly from Hyrule castle whenever you want. Just head to the observation room staircase and open the metal grate.
I got the wall section in the shelter to open before doing any of the regional phenomena. Don't know what the trigger was, but it was very, very early on in my playthrough.
Soldier armor is still really good easy lv 3 for early game battles I had the whole set befor any of the dungeons. Was exceptionally useful in my play thru
Also the royal passage leads you directly to the guard chamber so while you are getting the soldier armor might as well get the chest peice of the royal guard at the same time.
This is Austin's 53rd video uploaded in the past 2 weeks... Seriously, I cant thank you enough for pumping out this ToTK content since launch. I'm enjoying the heck out of this game, and these videos make me love it even more
He got the game early for review purposes. He made these videos early and uploaded them privately, only to release them piecemeal.
Man is a machine
$ talks
@@Heymrk You can tell by the subscriber count in the background that these videos are recent
The grind is unbelievable
Can we all agree that Austin has helped like 80% of the community with these videos 😂😂
If not more 😂
It's because of him I know not to upgrade to 1.1.2 patch.
@@Heymrk I was too late 😢
Yup
Can you go back to past versions?
I don’t think the armor is “bad”, “outclassed” is a good way of putting it. It’s an inexpensive way to help progress through some harder fights.
Plus if you know your route starting from the castle you can get it SUPER early. Granted I didn't watch the guide to find zonite set as I want to stumble into it. So I don't know how easy that is to get.
They also look better imo
@@samreddig8819 how do you just stumble into that it's super high up in the sky you have to use a lot of charges and a hoverquad to get up there
@@arcticfluffyfoxy if Ur doing the sky shrines u would run into the zonite armour
Yeah, the Soldier is, like, "basic" heavy armor, upgrades with slightly easier-to-obtain materials. Like BotW, it is meant to be supplanted by harder-to-get sets which have less common materials to upgrade with.

I am dying to upgrade my Fierce Deity set…. 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Agreed. Zonai armor is much harder to get and to upgrade. I just found my first few Captain 4s and Soldier 3/4s and I’m 100 plus i hi ours in.
@xuezou1534 I made it a point to upgrade mine as soon as I could. The armor, when paired with a fused Deity Sword, is CRAZY good for boss fights.
Just so everyone knows, you can do the Royal Passage backwards if you enter through Hyrule Castle from the Observation Room metal grate. That way you don't need the opening in the Emergency Shelter.
This is actually how I found one part by councidence. Tried testing if I could get into the castle und then went down the broken stairs from the first floor.
I also did this. I spent a lot of time exploring the cave system
Came here to say this. Did it by accident in the beginning and was met with a closed off wall at the very end that would have been the Emergency Shelter, but I had all the stuff by then.
I did this 😂 went straight for the castle after getting paraglider and then explored until I came out into the shelter lol
There's actually 2 entrances in the castle
I think the Ancient set in Breath of the Wild had the same defense as the Soldier set but you got ancient weapon proficiency. Seems like Zonaite set is a straight replacement for Ancient set.
I'm pretty sure it is just a cheap reskin
because the hit boxes aren't the same length as the models the hit boxes are FAR too long
and the long sword has the same blade as the short sword same size same everything
so that makes the wonky hitboxes even easier to notice
edit
the only reason why I know the size of the hit box is because I swing the sword in grass and yes it cuts grass further than the blade actually reaches
so yeah try not to use the weapons in long grass otherwise you will just feel uncomfortable
@@arcticfluffyfoxy which weapon you are talking about though?
Not really, they are very different. and there are other high defense armour in this game like ancient hero aspect.
I miss the Ancient Armor. It was badass af
In botw, the ancient set, the diamond circlet and the amber earrings also had a maximum defence of 28
the "Of the Wild" set did, and still does, have the same defense stats, and its not nearly as tedious to get in this game as the in BOTW. In fact I think its a less of an issue to get than the Zonaite armor set.
Yep this is the one I've been using max upgraded now at 28 per piece with attack up set bonus.
Hey austin, I just wanna say thanks for grinding this out, you've heard this a million times but as a non zelda viewer, you make these videos fun even if I dont know whats going on. Thank you :)
😅 then why are you here? I'm not coming at you but, why?! Lol
P.s. You really should give these Zelda games a go!
You can actually get access to the soldier armor before you have access to the sanctuary, in my play through I was exploring around the ruins of Castle town and what was left of the base of the castle and there is a balcony that you can see just passed the massive iron doors that'll get you access to the Royal Retreat passage or whatever it's called
Ancient armor also has a defence of 28. And the diamond circlet now gives attack up. And has a defence of 28 maxed out.

Bro I remember looking at your guides in 2017 and now here I am in highschool back here looking at your videos 😭
In both games the armor sets that are related to historic/ancient (as in old) have had highest defense stats
Because it's just a fancy reskin with a new buff
Why have I never thought of using the cannon to break rocks thats friggin genius
Ik😂😂 how did we not think😆
It does eat your shield durability pretty fast.
13:06 the ancient set also had 28 def per piece. But of course, that set was wildly expensive.
And it was still technically outclassed by a full 60 defense flame breaker set because of flame guard.
@Diego Medina outclassed defensively against guardians, because for some reason most of their laser damage was fire/explosion damage. Ancient proficiency made the ancient armor far and away the best armor for combat
Hey Austin could you do some video of how to get every set in Zelda ?
You want arrows? Go to a stable. See beedle. buy arrows from . Go to the next stable. See Beedle. buy arrows from him. Go to the next stable. See Beedle. Buy arrows from him. And so on and so forth.
Can say the royal guards chest and pants, with a red dyed cap of the wild is my favorite outfit.
13:09 The Ancient Soldier armor set also went up that high, but like the Zoniate armor set, was also crazy expensive to upgrade.
You can actually get the soldiers armour through a cave at the bit of hyrule castle that isnt floating. It was pretty much one of the first things i did exploring at the start of the game.
soldiers armour you need 1 part of main quest to open the path to the heart, stamina swapper. on second save i went and got all shrines before any temples and its still not open. so rito it is. but you can get it if you start from hyrule castle
It’s Crazy how the person who made the best botw guides 6 years ago makes just as good guides for totk now 2023
thanks for going through all this trouble. it's good information.
It's kinda funny how I found this channel looking for the soldiers armor in BOTW and now as soon an I want to find it in TOTK Austin uploads the exact video
The charge attack stamina up is not the only boost, it also uses less stamina during climbing and during swimming and I think gliding.
i believe that glitch was only in botw
@@locomo_mh7747 Oh ok
thanks AJP having trouble figuring what to upgrade. this helps. still fun collecting it
I needed this thanks Austin
just a heads up you can get into the cave for the soldiers armor at the very beginning of the game (as soon as you land on the ground) there's cave entrances to it in the castle (the part that remained on the ground)
I got the royal guard chest piece from ceces store after completing the hateno election
Same
I only have one temple completed. (Thw one you suggested to do last in abother video) and the shelter pathway is open. there is also an entrance in hyrule castle. i donated an apple to a cherry tree to find it.
THANK YOU AUSTIN🙏🙏❤❤
I agree about the arrows thing 😂 I’m always swimming in arrows. It’s clearly a skill issue if you’re running out.
Thanks for the vid! I couldn’t find the chest piece.
Bro. The first time I did this cave, I took three blood moon's worth of my throwaway weapons fused to rocks going back and forth for the rusty ones dropped along the way. Only came back for the black rock wall once I got the right tool for the job, Goro. Better experience for me than any of the actual dungeons for the sheer unknown depth and that indefinite spelunking feeling.
I got two parts of the Soldiers armor today and got to the end of the cave. Didn’t want to comb back through for the last piece so I was just gonna wait for Austin to upload on it, two hours later and 😂
Does the royal guard outfit still have the hidden perks? In botw the set bonus said it reduced the stamina used in charge attacks, but what the game didn't tell you is that it also reduced climb jump stamina like the climbing gear and swim dash stamina like the zora armor, so i was wondering if that carried over, i doubt it, but it's worth asking
Thank yo for the help! Was struggling with the royal ca
I love the ending... "Welp, here's how to get doodoo armor. If you found this video helpful give it a thumbs up!" Austin is hilarious. The pinecone is probably going to be something I do forever now honestly... has the same energy as """Ooo, piece of candy!"
thanks for all this dude, you're truly awesome!
Not sure if you get the same results with the cannon or bombs, but if you break up the blue rocks manually, they sometimes drop gemstones. I ended up with a quite a few by the time I was done.
I appreciate this video,
I found it helpful.
Thank you AustinJohn. 💚
i think you can access this from the other side at any time, but the opening in the lookout landing is progression locked
1:09 was funny. I like how he blasted the like-like as if it was nothing
Thank you Austin. Tons of helpful videos.
I kept wondering how I was missing the other 2 pieces of the solder armor. Thanks!
They really said how can we make the cool armor useless
You are grinding! Keep it up man👏
did not get to this playlist until after i had teh vow of Yunobo. that really made the soldiers armor a breeze.
You don’t need to have the Lookout Landing entrance open to get the Soldiers armour. Just go to the bottom half of Hyrule Castle and there’s two different entrances to that are connected to that same underground tunnel system.
Just move the grates open with ultrahand.
One is in the Observation room where the statue used to be and the other is in a small room to the side when going down a set of stairs, a Korok used to be in said room in BotW.
I honestly like the Royal guard Set. Wish it had a better set bonus but I love how it looks.
I love looking for the outfits man worth it got the Champion’s Leathers, Soldier’s Gear and Royal Guard Outfits so far some of my favourites 😍 Can’t wait to find more.
To open the emergency shelter in Lookout landing I believe all you need to do is talk to the guy with a spear directly on top of it.
I am not sure if you can get access before but I think you need to have done the early game part of crisis at Hyrule castle. Once Purah goes to the tower then you will have access to the bunker.
But for the wall section to break open you have to have done 1/4 of regional phenomena.
There is also a way to get into the cave ,directly from Hyrule castle whenever you want.
Just head to the observation room staircase and open the metal grate.
I got the wall section in the shelter to open before doing any of the regional phenomena. Don't know what the trigger was, but it was very, very early on in my playthrough.
Agree with all of this... except I will still be wearing the royal guard cap because I love how it looks with the champions tunic
Thanks!
awesome, I'll be getting these next!
Soldier armor is still really good easy lv 3 for early game battles I had the whole set befor any of the dungeons. Was exceptionally useful in my play thru
Also the royal passage leads you directly to the guard chamber so while you are getting the soldier armor might as well get the chest peice of the royal guard at the same time.
