The East Barrens is a location found in Breath of the Wild.

Overview

The East Barrens are located at the southeast end of the Gerudo Desert. As the barrens are in the desert, it shares the extreme weather patterns, where it gets very cold at night and is very hot during the daytime. Depending on the time of day, Link will need to wear armor or use an elixir that gives Heat Resistance or Cold Resistance. Most of the area is completely empty, with limited enemies and just some Hydromelons and Voltfruit growing.

The Barrens consist of a series of small pillars that stick out from underground. At the northwest part of the area, there is a larger stone structure that has a stump on top of it. Step on it and a yellow circle will appear in the distance to the southeast. It's a bit too far to reach, even with maximum stamina. If Link has a Sand Seal, he can use it to quickly navigate to the other archway. Alternatively, Link can just run across the sand with the Sand Boots. Alternatively, Link can use the upgraded Stealth Set at nighttime, which gives him a speed boost, allowing him to reach the circle in time.

At the far north of the area there are three enemy skull bases with some Blue Lizalfos in the area. The base to the east has a treasure chest buried in the sand which contains five Bomb Arrows. The base to the south has a block puzzle with the missing block piece near the ceiling.
