Delve into the intricate process of obtaining the Scimitar of the Seven and Daybreaker Shield in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and assess if the effort matches the rewards
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, while a true sequel to Breath of the Wild, retains certain classic elements, including the ability to craft ‘Champion Weapons.’ For the Gerudo, these weapons include the Scimitar of the Seven and the Daybreaker Shield. Crafting these armaments, however, involves a series of steps and precious materials, leading players to question their worth. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to obtain these legendary items and whether they justify the investment for players in Tears of the Kingdom.

Building the Legendary Armaments in Tears of the Kingdom demands significant effort. From clearing challenging quests to gathering rare materials, the process is intricate. Among these armaments, the Scimitar of the Seven and the Daybreaker Shield of the Gerudo stand out. Let’s delve into the steps necessary to craft them and analyze whether the pursuit is worth the outcome.
Steps to Craft the Scimitar of the Seven and Daybreaker Shield:
1. Clear The Sand Shroud & Restore Gerudo Town:
- Reach Gerudo Town by navigating through the Sand Shroud.
- Enter the Gerudo Shelter, which is off-limits for Voe (males). Find an alternative way to access it.
- Meet with Riju, the Gerudo leader, after exploring the Gerudo Shelter.
- Collaborate with Riju and other Gerudo to defend Gerudo Town from invading Gibdo.
- Resurface the Lightning Temple by activating three beacons to reveal the temple beneath the surface.
- Explore the Lightning Temple with Riju, solve puzzles, and defeat Queen Gibdo, the main boss of the area.
- Receive Riju’s Solemn Vow to aid Link in the fight against Ganondorf.
2. Save Isha From The Molduga:
- Accept the quest ‘The Missing Owner’ from Isha’s co-worker, Cara, to find Isha.
- Head westward from Gerudo Town to Toruma Dunes. Look for the smoke from Isha’s campfire.
- Defeat the Molduga attacking Isha to save her. Isha rewards Link with a Diamond.
- Return to Isha in Gerudo Town. She offers to craft the Scimitar of the Seven and Daybreaker Shield.
3. Gather Necessary Materials:
- Collect 4 Diamonds, 10 Flint, a Gerudo Scimitar, and a Gerudo Shield for crafting the Scimitar of the Seven and Daybreaker Shield.
4. Craft and Repair the Weapons:
- Deliver the materials to Isha, who crafts the Scimitar of the Seven and Daybreaker Shield.
- If broken, Isha can remake the weapons but requires the same material cost.
- Repair the weapons by using the Rock Octorok method, a game exploit allowing repair without material consumption.
Are the Scimitar of the Seven & Daybreaker Shield Worth It?
The Scimitar of the Seven boasts the Strong Fusion Special Trait, making it one of the most potent Fused Weapons in the game, especially when paired with specific components. Its worth is undeniable, offering a powerful advantage in battles against formidable foes like Lynels and Gloom Hands. However, the Daybreaker Shield, while unique in appearance, lacks additional effects and doesn’t significantly outshine other shields in terms of defense or durability.
The Scimitar of the Seven alone justifies the effort and material investment. If players seek a reliable weapon for challenging encounters, crafting the Scimitar is highly recommended. The Daybreaker Shield, while an additional bonus, might not match the Scimitar’s value for some players.
Note: The availability of duplication glitches and repair methods can impact the utility of these weapons. As of October 2023, these methods are functional.
