— Breath of the Wild In-Game Description

Giant Ancient Core is a rare material found in Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

Appearances

Breath of the Wild

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.

Shrine Treasure Chests

Giant Ancient Cores can also be found in Chests in the following Shrines:

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.
