Phantom Armor Set
The Phantom Armor Set in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom embodies the myths of "armored phantoms", supposedly modeled after these fabled villains. Fitting for such a fearsome set of armor, the Phantom Armor set grants a hefty Attack Up bonus when all three pieces are worn together.
In this guide, you can find out more about the Phantom Armor Set, including where to find each piece of Armor.

The cave location for the Phantom Helmet will be located near the shores of Puffer Beach along the coast of the Faron Sea and will actually be an overhead cave. You can use the nearby Rockets to launch yourself upward by attaching them to your shield with Link's Fuse ability. Once the Rocket has been fused to your shield, pulling the shield out with the ZL button will skyrocket you towards the cave entrance.
Inside the aptly named, Puffer Beach Overhead Cave, there are two Horriblin crawling about. Once the Horriblin are defeated, you can head further into the cave north, where you will find a small shrine with a Treasure Chest inside.
Interact with the Treasure Chest in this shrine to acquire the Phantom Helmet!

The Phantom Armor is in a chest in the Tamio River Downstream Cave found on the northeastern base of the Gerudo Highlands, located at coordinates -2918, -0799, 0009.
To get there, launch from the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower, then glide northeast toward Rutile Lake. As the name implies, the cave entrance is downstream from the Tamio River, so you'll want to dive into the ravine that separates the Gerudo Highlands from the Satori Mountain. The Tamio River Downstream cave entrance can be seen in the image above, and when you head inside, be prepared to take on a couple of Horriblins.
When the coast is clear, walk through the passage on the left that's lined with Luminous Stone.
When you reach the end of the short passage, you'll spot an altar across the way which is where the Phantom Armor is located. Unfortunately, the area of the cave is protected by Gloom Hands, and the rock wall underneath the altar is incredibly slippery and near impossible to climb. Because of these circumstances, you'll only have two options to get to the altar. The first is to use a Zonai fan and Tap to Reveal to reach the altar without climbing. While this method will allow you to bypass a confrontation with the Gloom Hands, if you fail to reach the ledge, you'll be left vulnerable to the fearsome foe lurking below.
If you choose to fight the Gloom Hands, you'll remain safe so long as you hold the high ground. Use Bomb Arrows to make quick work of the Gloom Hands, then wrap around the central rock formation housing the Phantom Armor. Here, you'll find a wall of breakable rock. Use stone-Fused weapons or Bomb Flowers to carve through the rock wall, and you'll discover a ramp.
Open the chest at the top of the incline, and the Phantom Armor is yours!

To collect the Phantom Greaves, you'll need to access the Ancient Altar Ruins hidden underneath the sand just south of the East Barrens in the Gerudo Desert. This area is full of quicksand which will be depicted on your map as the group of circles shown above.
The fastest way to reach the Ancient Altar Ruins is to fast travel to one of the nearby shrines, such as the Siwakama Shrine or the Motsusis Shrine found within the South Lomei Labyrinth. But if you haven't visited these shrines just yet, launch from the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower and glide southwest until you reach the quicksand-ridden area.
Once you've reached the quicksand, note that all the sand whirlpools will take you down to the Ancient Altar Ruins, where various tons of loot await. However, to collect the Phantom Greaves, you must enter the sand whirlpool just south of the area's center point. If you have trouble determining which whirlpool to take, reference the map above.
If you've taken the correct sand whirlpool, you'll find yourself in an enclosed area with the altar pictured above. Open the chest on the altar, and you'll collect the Phantom Greaves!
