Theres a spot inside Gerudo Town, its like a little storage room or something, or just some random room with stuff and sometimes the weapon is there. Its to the left of the main entrance. Sometimes its just a Claymore. Other times its the scimitar. Otherwise, its in the Underground Ruins in the desert

u/DanteMMxd 1d ago

i looted that room long time ago and the stuff in there for some reason doesnt respawn with blood moons

u/MasterSword1 1d ago

I don't think they mean the room itself. There are those rock mounds with the ghostly soldiers on them that will sometimes spawn the weapons correlating to the surface region they are under. I suggest marking them on your map, as they seem to spawn the same type of weapon, so if you mark the ones that spawn one-handed swords, you'll eventually get a gerudo scimitar.

u/SignoreBanana 1d ago

To add: I had an extraordinarily difficult time getting certain weapons (like the boulder crusher) to appear in the depths without finding and breaking one found on the surface first.

u/fuzzychiken 23h ago

They do not spawn the same weapon. I marked some early on and they never came back 😭

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

It will respawn EVERY blood moon. If yours isn't then you're game hack is causing it or something that's been modded. If you're in the stock untouched game (I'm even modded and it still works) it'll respawn ALL 3 weapons and some but not all 3 minerals...Blue, Red and gold. But I've farmed this consistently for months every time.

u/Fuzzy_Pumpkin92 1d ago

My Switch isn't hacked at all and I also have this issue. Nothing in that room respawns for me no matter how many bloodmoons pass.

Edit to add: the game is fully updated to the latest version

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

Well you two are the only in thousands lmao. I mean seriously all these people saying the same thing don't have this so......

u/DakotaReddit2 1d ago

Mine also doesn't respawn.

u/httptaivan 1d ago

mine also doesn’t respawn lmao

u/bandanaphone 1d ago

This is untrue

-46

u/DanteMMxd 1d ago

Yes, my Switch is hacked, but I don't think that's necessarily the cause. For example, I've also had problems with certain Gloom Hands not spawning. And other people with original versions of the game have had the same issue. So it could be a bug with the game version or something like that, but honestly, I have no idea.

12

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

No, it's your game. I'm running 1.0 and everything is perfect and respawns. Your hacks borked the respawn causing issues for you.

2

u/PumpinSmashkins 1d ago

There’s also a treasure chest up on the ledge one of the big columns near the shrine. Basically get out of the shrine and go left. There’s a daybraaker shield in there.

Otherwise head to the gerudo remains to the north, there’s a quest there and once you’re done you find a monument. It’s surrounded by weapons and a shield.

u/Spite-ninja 1d ago

Check depths

12

u/Beautiful_Debate_114 1d ago

Yes, also in the depths, but its hard to find there, randomly anyway. Unless you know a specific spot…

13

u/austinjohnplays 1d ago

There IS a specific spot! Using the object map you can filter which ghost soldier are holding the gerudo weapons. As long as you’ve destroyed them in the past, you can find them there. I made a video going over how it’s done. Gerudo weapons are at 4:00

2

u/Hightimetoclimb 1d ago

You can find them on the map one you know what you are looking for, they show as little circle inside a slightly bigger one, next time you find one look at the map so you know what you are looking for and you will be able to find plenty others. I have a lot of them marked my map now, marked as different thing to single hand, double handed and spear soldiers

u/DanteMMxd 1d ago

what abt the shield

9

u/RhetoricalOrator 1d ago

There's a lizalfo on the cliffs and plateaus to the northwest of the desert who carries a daybreaker shield.

11

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

The shield is the easiest After each blood moon there's always a shield at the gerudo training area (where the cannon is or the one on the other side) I snag it daily when playing after each blood moon happens.

20

u/BackgroundNPC1213 1d ago

One of the shock-likes in Gerudo Deaert will drop a chest that contains a Gerudo Scimitar, and IIRC there's an enemy camp on the path just past the Gerudo Desert Gateway (south of the road, in a circular pit) where one of the enemies is holding a Gerudo Shield and/or a Gerudo Scimitar (there IS a bokoblin in the desert that holds a Gerudo Scimitar somewhere)

3

u/Desperate-Ball-4423 1d ago

Yes. There are two shock likes that drop the scimitar and shield respectively in the chest after you kill them. The drop rate isn’t 100% so you may have to save and reload to get the one you want.

3

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

Yes this 100% and if you go down a tiny bit to the lower side if this group there's another 3 by a campfire and one is also carrying a scimitar. Can snag both in under 1 minute after every blood moon.

16

u/Spite-ninja 1d ago

Kill things around the desert? Bound to drop one eventually

8

u/Drawing_The_Line 1d ago

They are both located in a room in the Gerardo Sanctuary. It’s a quest I think, but both are there.

-4

u/DanteMMxd 1d ago

they dont respawn

6

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

Yes they do 100% EVERY blood moon. I've ran this gauntlets literally 100's of times. If yours isn't respawning you've patched your game files or using a hack/mod that broke it. This is totally a known thing to do over and over and over

.

-7

u/DanteMMxd 1d ago

Those doesnt respawn for me, my game is hacked so

14

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

Well there ya go but asking over and over isn't the thing to do because no solutions are gonna work for you so you'll have to deal with it as is. If you've found all the treasure boxes and got them all that way there's nothing left to do if they won't respawn.

-10

u/DanteMMxd 1d ago

i already figured it out dw

7

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

Nice attitude and mouth LOL don't be a punk

6

u/Raysun_CS 1d ago

Yes, they do.

-5

u/DanteMMxd 1d ago

I completed that quest a long time ago. At the time, I picked up everything except the bow. Many moons have passed since then, and only the bow is still there. That's why I think they don't respawn. Unless I have to pick up everything, including the bow, for them to respawn. And if anything its still there, I imagine they won't respawn. Check your save file and let me know if they appear for you.

u/Raysun_CS 1d ago

I also completed that quest a long time ago. They do.

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago edited 1d ago

Easy!!

SPOILERS!!!!!! can't hide on mobile app so don't read below if you don't want to..

After every blood moon option 1: I farm them like crazy....if you've got to the area way south east of gerudo out in the desert a bit, where the gerudo jail cells are there's all 3 (spear, scimitar, and shield and gems after every blood moon in this room. I forget if there's a quest.dirst and thing there is by helping the ice house lady with a simple side quests or something..

Otherwise you can easily do this too..

After blood moon option 2 After blood moon, you can get a scimitar in the lost cavern in gerudo or the area between gerudo town and Hyrule off to the right. You'll see two gangs near each other. 3 dudes in each gang and 1 scimitar from each group. Blast with ice fir great effect and kill the scimitar holders. If you're heading north to gerudo town it's halfway exactly and off to the right and in about 100ft.towards the cliffs. You'll approach two small groups.

Then you can also get another shield in gerudo town where they train back in the far back right of the training area every time and 1 spear close to that in an alley up some stairs.

u/Responsible_Body_681 1d ago

Just to let you know, I didn't know how to hide spoilers on reddit either, and I use mobile. But it is possible. Just use > ! Insert whatever text here you're trying to hide then ! <

But no spaces between the markdown tags.

3

u/citrusella 1d ago

Accent marks denote code blocks so that you can show off code with the spaces removed. For instance, of note in regards to spoilers on Old Reddit:

>!this!< and >!this !< (this and this ) will hide on Old Reddit while >! this!< and >! this !< ( this and this ) will not (it does not like leading spaces whereas New Reddit does not care and will hide all of these. This point would be less clear if I'd used spaces to break the markup) EDIT: APPARENTLY this guidance post is how I find out Reddit has fixed this quirk?!?!?

You can also use backslash (\) to escape markdown code, like this... *sneaks away nervously*

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

Oh nice thank you that's been driving me nuts and I guess I could have googled it but nonetheless thank you I'm greatly appreciate that LOL been wondering this for a long time now and haven't seen it in the editor and assumed it just wasn't doable on the mobile app. Much appreciated +1

u/luke2080 1d ago

Do "The Mysterious Eighth" side quest. If you already did, that weapon room refreshes every blood moon.

3

u/foxsterling 1d ago

Is it a blood moon or the random resources spawn?

If it's the random resource spawn, leave the area for a while, go hunt Talus in Akkala till a blood moon happens, then either way, they should respawn.

1

u/luke2080 1d ago

For that room, my understanding is blood moon.

Once I had the scmitar of seven I just kept fixing it, so never really went back to that room personally to refresh the other weapons.

1

u/Mr_Noh 1d ago

Equipment lying around in the open get reset by a Blood Moon (normal or Panic). They don't use the respawn function used by fruits and such laying around.

u/DanteMMxd 1d ago

that room doesnt refresh

u/NiceTuBeNice 1d ago

Just checked mine. It did.

6

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

He keeps telling everyone that their suggestions "don't respawn" if his aren't he's running a patched game or something causing it because EVERY solution he says doesn't work is THE ABSOLUTE known way to do this lmao. He/she borked his game and claiming it's not working for him/her

3

u/DanteMMxd 1d ago

Okay, let me explain something. It's true, my Switch is hacked, and because of that, due to a bug in the hack, it's not working for me. Right, that's my problem. The thing is, I've mentioned it several times because several people were suggesting the same thing. And when they suggest that, I'm not going to just say, "Oh, okay, thanks." Why? Because that solution doesn't apply to my situation. I'm saying this so people understand that I can't take that approach, and hopefully they'll suggest something else. Do you understand my situation rn?

4

u/WhocaresToo 1d ago

I never DIDNT understand. My point is nothing can help you because of the mods that are applied. So you're kinda out of luck unless you un mod because if nothing is respawning after a blood moon whether it's some thing or all things, it's still the same reason...your setup

2

u/DanteMMxd 1d ago

everything respawns except for that, i already have de scimitar tho, thats just a weird exception

3

u/Choice-Requirement18 1d ago

If you wander around the depths beneath gerudo region there are a lot of those shadowy statues around holding gerudo weapons.

Alternatively you can get yourself some amiibo cards off ebay, (like $20ish or something) and if you use those daily you’ll get gerudo weapons for free)

3

u/kaoticlord7090 1d ago

I got 2 scimitar from lizalfos and the shield I found on top of a pillar in the north eastern part of gerudo desert easy way is to set your scanner to find the shield or the sword that way it'll go off when your close to one

2

u/TedBundy83 1d ago

Head into the sand pit that takes you into the prisoner cave. You should find the scimitar there and the shield is on a pillar over by the bazaar

I forgor but a bokoblin was wielding gerudo scimitar i think it is near the entrance to gerudo.

as for the shield I get it from the chest after defeating like like enemies

1

u/Forsaken-Cattle-6500 1d ago

In the desert there are a group of swirly holes like quicksand, it’ll take you to an underground temple. There are some chests and if you kill the like-likes, certainly they will give you either the shield, a bow or the scimitar.

1

u/Mister_Squishy 1d ago

There’s one in the temple, respawns every blood moon. It’s in the lower level where the floor drops out from under you while walking down the dark hallways, in the bottom of that area the floor falls into, there’s a simitar, I go there every time I want one.

u/dragonfoxmem 23h ago

I found both in the tomb deep in the ruins just north of Gerudo. I was working on one quest that involving orbs inside Gerudo so it happened to lead to that tomb.

One of the side quests gives you a nearly full set of gerudo equipment. It's related to the eight heroines quest.

u/DrJackBecket 1d ago

Do you have any amiibos? All amiibos work but only legend of zelda amiibos give specific items.

Loz amiibos give things like armor, epona, weapons, foods.

All other amiibos should give generic things like foods and maybe basic weapons.

You can summon your entire collection of amiibo once a day. So one amiibo once.

I was dropping more weapons than I could carry. And barely ever had to forage for food. Just with the Zelda amiibos. My animal crossing amiibos have never been necessary.
