Just like in Breath of the Wild, the Yiga Clan is obsessed with bringing ruin to Hyrule. In Tears of the Kingdom, they also now have a vendetta against Link for previously taking down their leader, Master Kogha. This time around, you can actually get inside the Yiga Clan’s secret hideout by pretending to be one of them.

How To Get Inside The Yiga Clan Hideout

The Yiga Clan Hideout is located in the Gerudo region. If you are trying to approach the hideout from the Gerudo Desert, you’ll need to head north to the Karusa Valley.

Once you find the valley’s entrance, you can continue up the hilluntil you reach the hideout.

An easier way to reach the Yiga Clan Hideout is available if you have the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower unlocked. Fast travel to this Skyview Tower, then headsouth to the Karusa Valley, and you can paraglide down closer to the hideout entrance.

The coordinates for the Yiga Clan Hideout entrance are -3689, -1365, 0331.

At the hideout’s entrance, you’ll see a man trying to get in. He’s turned straight away because they’ll only let in a true Yiga.

Witnessing this scene triggers the quest, “Infiltrating the Yiga Clan.”

Now, you can’t just waltz up to the door to get in. The minute the Yiga see Link, you’ll be immediately attacked.

To get inside the Yiga Clan Hideout, you’ll need a disguise. You will have to wear the full Yiga Armor set to be let into the Yiga Clan Hideout.

If you don’t have the Yiga armor yet, check out this guide to find out how to get all three pieces of the Yiga Clan armor.

When you first enter the hideout, you’ll be in a large chamber with a few different Yiga members selling items, but you’ll want to make your way through the open hallway further into the hideout.

How To Complete Yiga Clan Training

As you keep going through the hideout, you will eventually enter a large training area. The gate out of the training area is blocked by a Yiga Clan member who thinks you look a little out of line.

To move through the gate, and to get some good rewards, you will need to complete the Yiga Clan training. Talk to the Yiga Blademaster on the second floor of the training room to begin.

How To Get The Earthwake Technique and Lightning Helm

The Blademaster will explain how the training works, saying that you’ll need to spar with other Yiga members.

Each attempt costs 100 rupees. As a kind gesture, your first attempt will be free.

You’ll get rewards for doing this training, with better rewards based on how many Yiga members you defeat in a one-minute period.

Challenge

Reward

Defeat three Yiga members.

Yiga Paraglider Fabric

Defeat six Yiga members.

Earthwake Technique Scroll

Defeat nine Yiga members.

The Lightning Helm

Your first challenge shouldn’t be too difficult, just pay attention to when the Yiga members teleport above you so you can avoid their attacks.

Make sure to equip a spear weapon for your Yiga training. Target your Yiga enemies with ZL right after they teleport near you, and the range of your spear attacks will reach them easily.

The two tougher challenges are worth clearing for their rewards. The Earthwake Technique is an attack that you can do while you are unarmed and is a technique that Yiga Blademasters have used against you before.

The Lightning Helm, though a knock-off from the true version owned by Riju, is still able tofully repel lightning.

Yiga Clan Hideout Secrets and Rewards

The Yiga Clan Hideout offers a few other secrets and opportunities past the ones you get during training.

In the first chamber, after you enter from the front there will be a secret room hidden by a huge tapestry. There is a convenient Torchby the central pedestal where the Yiga Blademaster stands.

You can use this torch, light it up, then burn down the tapestry by holding the lit torch near it. This reveals a few barrels and a chest that contains an Eightfold Blade with higher stats.

On your way to the vehicle repair room, you may have noticed a chest in a locked cell. First, go to the lower level of the vehicle room, and you’ll see some cracks in the wall.

Destroy the wall, and you’ll be able to continue through an underground path. You’ll have to keep destroying rocks that are in the way, but you’ll soon reach that chest locked behind the cell.

Open it to receive a Sneaky Elixir.

As you destroy the rocks in the path, they will drop swords and smaller rocks that you can Fuse together to keep going through the path.

Before you leave the vehicle repair room, there are a couple more things you can do. Two Yiga members are repairing vehicles, and both offer to sell them to you under the table.

You can take the Gloomdredger out for a joyride for 999 rupees, and the Hoverdoom MK3 out for99 rupees.

However, you can also add the spiky machinery to your Autobuild selection. Simply take the missing part that is lying near the vehicle, and attach it to finish fixing the vehicle.

This will add the Gloomdredger or Hoverdoom MK3 to your Autobuild list, which you can favorite and rebuild whenever you want.

After clearing your training, you’ll be able to keep moving through the hideout until you eventually exit out the back. Out here, you’ll immediately notice the aptly named Yiga Clan Hideout Chasm, plus the Rostumamu Shrine nearby.

Explore these to your heart’s content.
