By
Seren Morgan-Roberts

This page will offer a walkthrough on the DLC side quest EX Treasure: Usurper King. This hidden treasure is apart of the second DLC, which is available by purchasing the Expansion Pass for Breath of the Wild.

How to Start EX Treasure: Usurper King

To begin this quest, you’ll need to find clues to the whereabouts of the treasure chest. The clues are given to you by Misko’s Journal, found in Deya Village Ruins in Deya Lake. You can easily travel to it by fast travelling to Dueling Peaks Tower and heading southwest. Then, you’ll find the journal with the clues within the ruins of a house. The journal will give clues to this treasure as well as the following:

EX Treasure: Usurper King Location

Once you’ve found the journal, you’ll receive the clue “The helm of the self-proclaimed King of Shadows is in the swamp of the valley of dead trees, south of Dueling Peaks”. You’ll find the treasure in Tobio’s Hollow, which is just south of Dueling Peaks. More specifically, you’ll find the treasure on a small bit of land in the middle of a poisonous swamp. You can’t swim in the bog, so either climb up higher and glide down or use Revali’s Gale if you’ve unlocked it by defeating Divine Beast Vah Medoh. You could also just make short jumps across the rocks in the swamp until you reach the chest. You’ll need to use Magnesis to pull the chest out of the ground. Upon opening the chest, you’ll find Zant’s Helmet, which makes you unfreezable!
