— In-Game Description

Overview

The Ancient Shaft is a material found in Breath of the Wild. It can be obtained by defeating almost all types of Guardians, with the exception being the Guardian Scout I. Additionally, Link can find an Ancient Shaft by examining a decaying guardian, as well as by lifting legless guardians that are in the water, using Cryonis. Additionally, Link can purchase Ancient Shafts from the traveling merchant Teli. While Teli normally only sells an Ancient Screw, Ancient Spring, and Ancient Gear, he has a rainy day special, where Link can purchase an Ancient Shaft for 160 rupees.

Use

This material can be used in creating ancient equipment at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. Ancient Shafts are used in the manufacturing of the Ancient Spear, as well as the enhancement of the Ancient Armor, including the Ancient Greaves. Link can also trade an Ancient Shaft with Kilton in his shop, the Fang and Bone, for 20 Mon each.
