Giant Ancient Core is a rare material found in Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
Breath of the Wild
"A giant energy crystal made using lost ancient technology. Cores this large are an extremely rare find. A researcher would probably know how to use this."
Giant Ancient Cores can be obtained by defeating Guardian Stalkers, Skywatchers, and Turrets in battle, but the drop chance is fairly low. There are two Overworld treasure chests that contain a Giant Ancient Core, one within the Forgotten Temple, and one at the northwest portion of the Lomei Labyrinth Island. There is also one on top of the beak of Divine Beast Vah Medoh.
Shrine Treasure Chests
Giant Ancient Cores can also be found in Chests in the following Shrines:
- Shora Hah Shrine
- Mirro Shaz Shrine
- Kah Okeo Shrine
- Dah Hesho Shrine
- Kuhn Sidajj Shrine
- Maag Halan Shrine
- Ritaag Zumo Shrine
- Sato Koda Shrine
- Ruvo Korbah Shrine
Use
This Giant Ancient Core can be used in creating ancient equipment at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. It is a required item in order to manufacture the Ancient Bow. When Link upgrades the Ancient Set at a Great Fairy Fountain, he will need two Giant Ancient Cores per piece for the ★★★★ upgrade. Link can also trade a Giant Ancient Core with Kilton at his shop, the Fang and Bone, for 100 Mon each.
