How to Get a Gerudo Scimitar in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK)

Among the wide array of weapons players can wield in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Scimitar of the Seven can be considered one of the best, given its massive strength and high durability. But in order to acquire it, you will first need a Gerudo Scimitar. Now, here’s how to get a Gerudo Scimitar in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Gerudo Scimitar Location

The easiest way to get the Gerudo Scimitar in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be done by heading to Gerudo Desert and then defeating either Shock Worms or Moldugas there. After defeating either enemy, there’s a chance the weapon will be featured in the chest they will drop.

In our case, we were able to find a Shock Worm and then get the Gerudo Scimitar by heading to a set of ruins located left of Kudanisar Shrine, in the exact spot marked by the cursor below:

The chests will not always drop the Gerudo Scimitar, as they can also drop either the Radiant Shield, or the other weapons part of Gerudo set — the Spear, the Claymore, or the Bow. The contents of the chests in the game will change after every reload, so it is highly recommended that you save your game before facing the worm and then reload if you fail to get the weapon.

As all worms can be killed in the same way, you can check out how to kill the enemy in our How to Kill the Worm Cave Monsters in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom guide.
