For those delving deep into the world of adventure, the Radiant Armor set in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom stands out as a top choice. Made from crushed luminous stones, this set offers a unique appearance that keeps stal enemies at bay, preventing them from launching attacks against you.
However, acquiring the Radiant Armor set in this game can be a challenge due to its steep cost. This guide will walk you through a budget-friendly way to get your hands on this coveted armor.
Where to Find the Radiant Armor Set
The Radiant Armor Set includes three pieces: the Radiant Mask, Radiant Shirt, and Radiant Trousers. You can purchase all three at the Enchanted Armor Shop located in Kakariko Village.
This shop is managed by Claree, who sells each piece for 5,000 rupees. Claree needs the funds for her grandmother’s medical treatment, which activates the Gloom-Borne Illness side quest.
Look for Lesli, Claree’s sibling, near a cooking pot on the outskirts of Kakariko Village. She’ll ask you to find Sundelion, Hylian Rice, and Fresh Milk to prepare Sunny Veggie Porridge for her grandmother’s recovery.
Sundelions can be sourced from the Sky Islands, while you can find the other ingredients at the general store in Kakariko Village or Lookout Landing. After cooking the porridge, you’ll need to return to Claree’s shop.
Upon your return, Claree will drop the price of each armor piece to 800 Rupees, allowing you to acquire the complete Radiant Armor Set for just 2,400 Rupees in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
| Armor | Original Price | Discounted Price |
| Radiant Mask | 5000 | 800 |
| Radiant Shirt | 5000 | 800 |
| Radiant Trousers | 5000 | 800 |
Radiant Armor Set Stats and Upgrades
While the Radiant Armor set doesn’t provide any bonuses when worn in its basic form, upgrading each piece to two stars offers you two notable perks.
- Avoidance of Stal enemies
- Increased damage with Bone weapons
The first benefit allows you to bypass confrontation with Stal enemies, as they will ignore you unless provoked. The second benefit boosts your damage when using Bone weapons against foes. You can enhance each item of the Radiant Armor set to four stars at Fairy Fountains.
Below is a table detailing what is needed to upgrade one piece of the set.
| Level | Defense | Required Items |
| 1 Star | 5 | 10 Luminous Stones, 1 Bokoblin Guts, 10 Rupees |
| 2 Stars | 8 | 15 Luminous Stones, 2 Moblin Guts, 50 Rupees |
| 3 Stars | 12 | 20 Luminous Stones, 3 Horriblin Guts, 10 Gibdo Bones, 200 Rupees |
| 4 Stars | 20 | 30 Luminous Stones, 3 Lynel Guts, 3 Molduga Jaw, 500 Rupees |
