Tears of the Kingdom

The Ancient Altar Ruins are found within the East Barrens of the Gerudo Desert. There are 12 different sink holes in the East Barrens that all lead down into the ruins. There are a variety of enemies within the ruins, including Gibdos, Moth Gibdos, and a number of electric based enemies.

At the southwest part of the cave there is a Shock Like. Beyond the Shock Like, Link can use Ascend to get back out of the ruins to the desert.

11 out of the 12 sink holes are accessible while underground, except for the one in the middle, within a small room. From the desert, fall down this sink hole to find a treasure chest which contains the Phantom Greaves. There is also a treasure chest here that contains a Topaz gem.

Treasure Chests

Gerudo Scimitar - Near the sink hole at the center-east part of the ruins. Use Ultrahand to pull it out of the ground.
Gerudo Shield - Near the sink hole at the center-left part of the ruins. It is partially buried in the sand.
Gerudo Bow - Near the south-east sink hole.
