How to mine diamonds in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Caves scattered throughout Hyrule contain mineral deposits that may contain diamonds. . If you want to sell the diamonds for cash, it would be advisable to break all the deposits anyway, as the other gems you get from them are also of considerable rupee value. However, you should be aware that diamonds are not very common in these deposits, but we were lucky enough to find some during our trip.

In the Goron Caves, located in Death Mountain, you will find an abundance of mineral deposits. . We prefer to take the path that goes from the Emergency Shelter in Lookout Landing to Hyrule Castle, since that way we can collect both Bomb Flowers and Gems. You can enter the cave that will lead you to Hyrule Castle from this point.

In particular , it is important that you open up mineral deposits that show yellowish bumps and reflections, as these tend to produce items of greater rarity, such as rubies, sapphires, diamonds and topaz .

How to eliminate Talus to get diamonds in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

When you defeat a Talus (the colossal rock golem that lives in Hyrule), it will disintegrate into a pile of gems at the end of the battle . Although not very frequent, they can sometimes dislodge diamonds. During our countless confrontations against various types of Talus throughout the game, we have noticed that diamonds can drop from both Fire Talus and normal Talus.

While we're completely unaware of the exact diamond drop rate, don't hesitate to take it on if you're looking for these valuable gems and come across a Talus on your way.

Where to find Dondons in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Dondons are lovely creatures in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, but they are extremely rare. If you're trying to track them down (and want to know what types of gems you can get from them), this is where you'll find Dondons in Tears of the Kingdom.

Dondons are fascinating creatures that will reward you with rare minerals in exchange for your glow stones and some of your time. . We have found that they have released diamonds through this process, although it is somewhat unusual, as with the other methods.

To the south of Akkala, near the Lakeside Stable, is a Dondon shrine. Glide from the nearby Joju-uu Shrine towards this bonfire. (It will be hard to spot at first, but will become more visible as you get closer.)

Once you reach Dondons, perform the following steps :

• Place a glowing stone in front of each of the five Dondons.
• See when the Dondons feed on the rocks.
• leave the area . (You can attend to other tasks, but don't witness their deposition. They are too shy to do so.)
• He returns in about 10 minutes.
• Collect your precious loot . (It is possible to obtain flint and other less valuable stones, so don't be surprised if the Dondons don't immediately shower you with riches.)
• Repeat the process if you wish.

Some players support the idea that feeding Dondons with more Glowstones will result in rarer ores, but our experiments on this did not yield any definitive conclusions. If we find a more efficient method of obtaining high rare minerals from Dondons, we will update this guide to share it.
