The Blademasters at the Hideout during the infiltrations of the [[Divine Beast Vah Naboris (Main Quest)|Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest]] and the [[Kihiro Moh Shrine]] discovery in ''The Champions' Ballad'' [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|DLC]] can kill Link with a single strike, though those encountered in the overworld afterwards are less powerful. | The Blademasters at the Hideout during the infiltrations of the [[Divine Beast Vah Naboris (Main Quest)|Divine Beast Vah Naboris quest]] and the [[Kihiro Moh Shrine]] discovery in ''The Champions' Ballad'' [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|DLC]] can kill Link with a single strike, though those encountered in the overworld afterwards are less powerful. | ||

It's assumed that Yiga Blademasters don't die once defeated, but rather, teleport away to flee. However, shooting them with [[Ancient Arrow]]s effectively vaporizes them, implying that they indeed die if this weapon is used against them. | It's assumed that Yiga Blademasters don't die once defeated, but rather, teleport away to flee.

===The Stolen Heirloom=== | |||
A Yiga Blademaster is the main antagonist of ''[[The Stolen Heirloom]]'' [[Shrine Quest]] to unlock the [[Lakna Rokee Shrine]]. He is shown to have stolen the [[Sheikah Heirloom]] from [[Impa#Breath of the Wild|Impa's]] house, as Dorian, one of Impa's guards, is a former Yiga Clansman who defected to the [[Sheikah|Sheikah Tribe]] thanks to his wife, who was previously assassinated by the Yiga Clan when Dorian was sniffed out by the Clan. Recovering the Heirloom involves fighting and defeating said Blademaster. | |||
Given the possibility that the player hasn't gone to the Yiga Clan Hideout as part of the quest to board [[Vah Naboris]], the extorting Blademaster is likely to be the first encounter the player would have with one of these towering shrouded warriors. | |||
==Age of Calamity== | |||
The Yiga Blademasters are treated as sub-bosses in the early stages of the game that involve the [[Yiga Clan]], and have mostly the same moveset as their counterparts in ''Breath of the Wild'', only that they are more numerous. They are also considerably more resilient than in ''Breath of the Wild''. | |||
[[Sooga]] has a more expanded moveset than the Blademasters, employing more varied attacks while wielding two [[Windcleaver]]s. | |||
