Hidden deep within the Gerudo Desert, the Vah Naboris Divine Helm grants more than just shock resistance-it carries the legacy of Urbosa herself. Here’s where to find the legendary headgear and what makes it worth adding to your collection in Tears of the Kingdom.
When equipped, the Vah Naboris Divine Helm will provide you with shock resistance and a base defense of two. The Vah Naboris Divine Helm can be upgraded via any of the Great Fairy locations using gems, Zonaite, and dazzlefruit. You can technically get it via the use of amiibo, but you can also find it in-game in Hyrule. Here’s how.
Where to find the Vah Naboris Divine Helm in Tears of the Kingdom
Vah Naboris Divine Helm can be found deep inside the West Gerudo Underground Ruins, reached by breaking through rubble and following the statues pointing toward the correct exit until the chest is revealed. The helm grants shock resistance and can be upgraded at Great Fairy locations to boost its defense. For quick access, fast travel near the Mayamats Shrine and navigate the ruins from there.
The Vah Naboris Divine Helm can be found at the end of a rock maze in the West Gerudo Underground Ruins at the coordinates (-4673, -2090, 0000).
Glide south from the Mayamats Shrine until you reach a large ribcage protruding from the ground. Break the rubble on the floor to enter the West Gerudo Underground Ruins. When inside, break the rock walls in the direction that the Gerudo statues are pointing. Continue to break the rock walls until you find another Gerudo statue pointing in a different direction. At the end of the maze, you’ll find the chest containing the Vah Naboris Divine Helm.
West Gerudo Underground Ruins entrance
The entrance to the West Gerudo Underground Ruins lies in the desert southwest of Gerudo Town, marked by a partially buried doorway surrounded by ancient stone pillars. You’ll need to clear sand and rocks blocking the path before heading inside. Once you enter, prepare for strong enemies and puzzles that test your use of lightning-based gear. Exploring deeper leads to a chest containing the Vah Naboris Divine Helm, which grants shock resistance and matches well with the Desert Voe armor set.
The easiest way to reach the West Gerudo Underground Ruins is to glide south from the Mayamats Shrine in the Gerudo Highlands region until you reach the large rib cage closest to you. Head under the ribs to find a Shock Like and rubble on the floor (-4673, -1976, 0022). Destroy the rubble and drop into the hole to enter the West Gerudo Underground Ruins.
West Gerudo Underground Ruins maze solution
Head to the West Gerudo Underground Ruins through the sandy pit south of Gerudo Town. Once inside, follow the right-hand path through the maze-like corridors, using brightbloom seeds to light the way. Keep moving toward the central chamber with the large statue, then drop into the hole behind it to find a chest containing the Vah Naboris Divine Helm. Equipping it grants shock resistance, making it especially useful against electric enemies in the desert region.
After you enter the West Gerudo Underground Ruins and enter the first room, start off by breaking the center of the rock wall on your right until you reach a Gerudo statue. Turn to your left and break the rocks until you reach a fenced wall. Turn to your right and break the rocks to reveal a long corridor with another rock wall at the end of it. Break through the rubble to find the chest room, and open it to retrieve the Vah Naboris Divine Helm.
Vah Naboris Divine Helm upgrade cost
The Vah Naboris Divine Helm upgrade costs 2,000 rupees and requires Shock Resistance as the key enhancement.
The Vah Naboris Divine Helm will provide you with shock resistance effect, which will reduce the amount of electric damage you receive. Upgrading the Vah Naboris Divine Helm will increase the armor’s defense.

Best way to reach West Gerudo Underground Ruins fast travel point
The closest fast travel point to the West Gerudo Underground Ruins entrance is Kudanisar Shrine at coordinates (-4681, -1959, 0029).
Reaching Kudanisar Shrine
Travel southwest from Gerudo Town through the West Barrens, enduring sandstorms by climbing rock columns or using updrafts from sand tornadoes for visibility. Alternatively, launch from Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower and glide southwest toward the massive skeletal ribcage north of the West Barrens-the ruins lie directly beneath it.
Accessing the Ruins
Once at the ribcage (-4673, -2090, 0000), locate the cracked ground covered by breakable rocks; fuse Bomb Flowers to a weapon or arrow to clear the entrance and drop inside. From Kudanisar Shrine, head slightly west to reach this spot quickly on foot or by sand seal if available.
Fastest route to West Gerudo Underground Ruins from a tower
Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower offers the fastest route to West Gerudo Underground Ruins from a tower.
Launch and Glide Path
Launch from Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower (at -0447, -3415, 0405) to scan the Gerudo region map, then glide southwest toward the massive skeletal ribcage marking the ruins (-4673, -2090, 0000). This avoids sandstorm navigation issues entirely, landing you near the West Barrens in under two minutes with stamina food or elixirs if needed.
Alternative: Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower
From Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower (-4667, -3477, 0481), glide west over Kara Kara Bazaar, using sand tornado updrafts for extra distance through the shroud. Head directly for Kudanisar Shrine (-4681, -1959, 0029) or the ribcage; it’s slightly longer but viable if you’re already in the canyon area.
