How To Get To Yiga Clan Hideout
Ride the Sand Seal From Gerudo Town
Take the Sand Seal in Gerudo Town and go through the valley as shown in the above image. Since your walking speed slows down on the sand, you should travel with the Sand Seal.
Go On Foot From the Halfway
If you proceed to some extent, you will not be able to pass on the Sand Seal. From there, you need to follow the path through the valley to reach Yiga Clan Hideout on foot.
Complete The Nearby Sho Dantu Shrine
Get off the Sand Seal and there is a shrine pedestal a little off the road. If you place a Luminous Stone on this pedestal, the Sho Dantu Shrine will appear. There aren't many warp locations near the Yiga Clan Hideout, make it a priority to activate this shrine.
Continue While Defeating The Yiga Clan That Appears
Proceed while defeating the Yiga Clan that appears along the way. You'll have to deal with three of them at once in front of the hideout. Even if you ignore them, they will still chase you, so it's best to defeat them one by one.
Yiga Clan Hideout Strategy Guide
Burn the Banners To Find the Entrance
Proceed across the Karusa Valley until you reach a room with a bonfire in the middle. At first glance, it looks like an empty room, but there are six banners around it that can be burned, one of which hides the entrance to the hideout. Use a nearby Torch to burn the banners.
There are treasure chests in two of these rooms. The rest of them only have Keese appearing, so you can ignore them.
Proceed Without Being Spotted By The Yiga Blademaster
Once inside, you'll find the Yiga Blademasters roaming around. Yiga Clan will attack you in large numbers as they found you, that might cause you to die. After entering the hideout, try to avoid being spotted by the Yiga Blademaster.
You Cannot Save Game Inside The Hideout
You will no longer be able to save game once inside the Yiga Clan Hideout. If the game is over in the middle, you will have to start over from the entrance, so proceed carefully.
Recognize Where the Enemies Are With Champion's Tunic
Enemies' Life Gauge will now be visible when equipped with the Champion's Tunic, obtainable from the Main Quest Captured Memories. You are able to recognize Yiga Blademaster's movements even through the walls, making it easier to attack them.
Use Mighty Bananas To Lure The Yiga Blademasters Blocking Passageways
Yiga Blademasters love Mighty Bananas and have a habit of advancing towards bananas they found. You can lure the Yiga Blademaster by placing bananas which you picked up along the way or shot from the boards with your bow.
Stasis+ Is Also Available
Using Mighty Bananas is a good way, but you can also use Stasis + to stop the enemies from moving. It is more reliable than using bananas, so you can use it depending on where you are.
There Is Also A Strategy Using Sneakstrike
Sneakstrike, which can be activated by slowly approaching an enemy from behind, can take down the Yiga Blademaster in one shot with any weapon. Since they might drop items such as ores and bananas, it is also an option to defeat them one by one and explore the area. But be aware that if an enemy finds you, it will almost be a game over.
Climb the Ladder To the Second Floor
Use the ladder you found after passing the first room to go upstairs. At the top of the ladder, there are tons of Mighty Bananas and treasure chests.
Burn the Banners To Find the Hidden Room
Burning the middle one of the three banners on the second floor reveals the path to the hidden room. There are two treasure chests with a total of 600 Rupees in the hidden room, make sure to stop by. The easiest way is using a Fire Arrow, but you can also light the Torch with a nearby bonfire.
There Is A Hidden Door At The Far End That Can Be Opened With Magnesis
If you go all the way to the top, you will reach a room with a treasure chest in the middle. There is a door on the wall of this room that can be opened using Magnesis, and if you go ahead, you will find the boss, Master Kohga. In addition, there are 3 treasure chests around this room that can be grabbed with Magnesis, so don't forget to get them.
