Where to Use Fireproof Lizards

Content:

In Tears of the Kingdom, there are four distinct types of lizards, each with their own unique effect when used in elixirs. Among these lizards, the Fireproof Lizards stand out as both less common and highly beneficial. True to their name, these Fireproof Lizards grant Link the ability to resist flames, a crucial attribute when venturing into lava-surrounded areas.

In Tears of the Kingdom, Fireproof Lizards can predominantly be found in warmer, mountainous regions, as well as in caves with elevated temperatures. Therefore, players seeking to acquire Fireproof Lizards will have greater success exploring the Eldin Region.

Fireproof Lizard Locations

Fireproof Lizards are commonly found along the Goronbi River and in many of the caves within the Eldin Region. Additionally, players have the option to purchase them from Beedle and Nembis, who are Traveling Merchants located near Kakariko Village.

For those who have not yet obtained them, it is recommended to acquire the Sensor+ and the Hyrule Compendium from Robbie.

An effective method for farming Fireproof Lizards involves employing Sneaky Elixirs or donning stealth-enhancing armor to reduce the likelihood of startling the lizards. Alternatively, one can opt to shoot the Fireproof Lizards using arrows. It is important to avoid employing bows that release multiple arrows simultaneously, as striking the lizards with two arrows will result in their sudden disappearance.

Goronbi River

Fireproof Lizards can be found on the Goronbi River (1665, 1623, 0280) located between Bedrock Bistro and Goron City. As this area is on The Surface, Link does not require flame-resistant armor. Instead, it is advisable for players to don stealth-enhancing armor such as the Dark Armor Set obtained from the Lomei Labryinths or the Stealth Armor Set available in Kakariko Village.

Buy Fireproof Lizards from Traveling Merchants

Fireproof Lizards, which can be purchased for 25 Rupees, are available for players to buy from two merchants in Hyrule: Nembis and Beedle.

Nembis, who travels with his horse and pulls a wagon of merchandise, can be found along the trail from Wetland Stable to Kakariko Village at coordinates 1142, -0619, 0013. To locate him, players should take the west road out of Kakariko Village. It is worth noting that Nembis is the recommended merchant to purchase from if players are currently engaged in the "Gloom-Borne Illness" side quest. Additionally, Nembis only carries a limited stock of 3 Fireproof Lizards.

Beedle can be found at every stable (except the Gerudo Canyon Stable), but he only stocks Fireproof Lizards at the stables near Eldin:

Woodland Stable (1057, 1122, 0022)

South Akkala Stable (3125, 1687, 0201)

Where to Use Fireproof Lizards

By cooking Fireproof Lizards with a Monster Part, players can create Fireproof Elixirs. Nevertheless, a recommended alternative would be to utilize Fireproof Lizards in upgrading the Flamebreaker Set to level 2. Each Flamebreaker Armor necessitates the acquisition of x5 Fireproof Lizards, as well as x5 Moblin Fangs.

It is advisable to enhance the Flamebreaker Set by using Fireproof Lizards in order to activate the Flameproof Set Bonus (unlocked at level 2). This will protect Link from being engulfed in flames by enemies or while riding Dinraal's back.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be played on the Nintendo Switch.
