How To Get Royal Guard’s Claymore In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Royal Guard's Claymore, also known as Lynels' bane, is one of the best two-handed weapon in Zelda: TotK.

In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Royal Guard’s Claymore is a two-handed sword that significantly damages the enemies. Of course, many of these weapons will break away, so you need them all to make it through your journey.

Like always, some weapons are just straight-up better than others. That is also the case with the Royal Guard’s Claymore due to its amazing passive ability. This guide will help you find Royal Guard’s Claymore in Zelda: TotK.

Royal Guard’s Claymore Location

You need to head to the Hyrule Castle Sanctum to get your hands on this powerful weapon. The map below will help you reach the Royal Guard’s Claymore location in the game.

The easiest method to get to this location is to launch yourself from Skyview Tower. The Lookout Landing Skyview Tower is next to the Hyrule Castle, so you can use it to paraglide to the Claymore location.

TIP

Make sure that you have increased your stamina wheel to two and have Tulin’s Gust ability to make the journey.

Once you enter the Sanctum, the main area of Hyrule Castle, you will see a couple of stairs. On the side of the stairs is a chest with the Purple Rupee inside. To get to the Claymore, you have to climb up the stairs on the right and then take a left. You will see the ruined Horse Statue.

To get the Sword, you need to get to the back end of the statue, right where the Horse’s back legs are, and you will find the Royal Guard’s Claymore in a chest.

Royal Guard’s Claymore Stats

Royal Guard’s Claymore in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has a fantastic base attack of 32. This Two-handed sword also comes with a passive ability of Breaking Point. The best thing about this sword is its damage output will double as it is about to break.

That means this sword will deal the highest damage right before breaking. This ability is extremely useful in defeating Lynels. Once you stun a Lynel and mount it, hitting it with your weapon doesn’t affect its durability or break it.
