How to Start the EX Treasure Phantasma Quest
To begin the EX Treasure Phantasma quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you must first purchase the Master Trials DLC pack. After completing this, the quest will start automatically.
If starting a new game, you must progress the story until you receive the paraglider. After doing that, trigger a loading screen by entering any shrine (or something similar). Return to Hyrule, and the quest should start.
EX Treasure Phantasma Guide
Find Misko’s EX Journal in the Outpost Ruins
To find the location of the Phantasma, you’ll need to travel to the Outpost Ruins in search of Misko’s EX Journal, which has the information we seek. You can find the Outpost Ruins just east of the Great Plateau.
Inside the ruins, search for Misko’s EX Journal tucked away on a shelf in a broken building on the south side of the area. Reading it will reveal a clue pointing toward the location of the gear:
“Armor worn by fierce phantoms, feared even by heroes, is hidden in the ruins of Hyrule Field. Find these pieces at a battleground where brave souls tested their skill… at ceremonial grounds where royal guards are honored… and at the ruins where the soldiers of Hyrule gathers.“
Phantom Helmet – Collesium Ruins
The Phantom Helmet, which is the first piece of the Phantasma set, can be found at the Colosseum Ruins, southwest of Hyrule Field.
Once you arrive at the colosseum, you’ll spot a Lynel inside! Unfortunately, the chest will be in here on the ground level. Sneak inside and turn right, heading along the wall, to find the chest. Use Magnesis to detect the hidden EX Chest on the northwestern side of the colosseum, pull it free, and open it to claim the Phantom Helmet.
Collecting this helmet begins your journey to assemble the full Phantasma outfit, which unlocks a set bonus when all pieces are worn together.
Phantom Armor – Sacred Ground Ruins
For the second piece of the Phantasma set, the Phantom Armor, head to the Sacred Ground Ruins, which are located south of Hyrule Castle Town Ruins.
Once you arrive at the ruins, head to the middle ring of water on the southeast side to find the EX Chest. Use Magnesis to pull the chest free from the rubble and open it to claim the Phantom Armor.
With this piece collected, you’ll be one step closer to completing the Phantom’s full outfit.
Phantom Greaves – Hyrule Garrison Ruins
For the final piece of the Phantasma set, head to the Hyrule Garrison Ruins, located east of Mount Daphnes and north of Windvane Meadow.
On the southeastern edge of the ruins, you’ll spot a rusted Guardian. Use Magnesis to pull the chest free from the dirt. Inside, you’ll find the Phantom Greaves.
Once all three pieces—Phantom Helmet, Phantom Armor, and Phantom Greaves—are collected, you’ll have the complete outfit. Wearing the full set grants the Attack Up set bonus.
