Having the right gear in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be the difference between success or failure, but sometimes you just want to look like a badass while exploring the wilds of Hyrule - and for that, you really need the Radiant Set.
This particular set lures skeleton-type enemies and increases your attack damage when using bone weapons, but the biggest bonus is that it looks seriously cool - a glowing skeleton pattern appears at night-time, making it ideal for scaring kids at Halloween (do they even celebrate that in Hyrule?).
To get this particular set, you'll need to locate a secret shop in Gerudo Town. First, make sure you're doing this at night. Enter Gerudo Town (you'll need to be disguised as a woman, naturally) and head to the location shown on the map below.
You'll be asked for a password, which you don't know at this point. Move to the other side of the town and visit the bar marked on the map below:
Attempt to eavesdrop on the conversation regarding the password and you'll be told to leave.
Head to the house next door and talk to the little girl - she will reveal that it's possible to hear the patrons of the bar talking through the wall. Listen to the conversation and you'll hear the password: G, S and C, followed by the diamond shape.
Head back to the secret shop and enter the password. You now have access to Gerudo's exclusive store, which contains the Radiant Armour Set.
Before you get too excited, you'll need to hand over Luminous Stones as well as Rupees for this set - if you're running light on them then you can head to the nearby Sho Dantu Shrine or Kuh Takkar Shrine to grab some.
Congratulations! You now have Breath of the Wild's best outfit, and you're also a dead ringer for Skullomania from Capcom's Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha series, which is no bad thing, we're sure you'll agree:

You forgot the part where you dye it yellow so you look like a luchador
I suspect this will be useful for the Cave of Trials, when there are floors of Stal enemies.
Coolest outfit? No way. I'd have to go with either the Champions tunic/Hylian hood combo or the Soldier's armor, or the Zora armor set.
This is actually the outfit I disliked the most! XD Its cool that it glows in the dark but the other outfits are so much cooler. One of my favourites is the gerudo male armour. He is both badass and beautiful! Lol
Coolest outfits ?
It's look scary.
Remind me of Skullomania from Street Fighter EX.
"Coolest" is seriously a matter of opinion in this case. I think it looks decidedly meh, particularly the mask (which just looks like some kind of "gimp" S&M mask), and certainly when it starts glowing all neon-like. I dislike pretty much all the uses of the neon shader effect in the game, particularly the fugly platicky/oily purple neon gunk that's used all over the place on the final boss, in all his forms. Take of the ridiculous mask part of the outfit and it's OK.
@Anti-Matter skullomania was a great character. I use to love that game. Good memmories
@Damon Serious missed opportunity for "Trick or treat" as the subtile. Though I appreciate the "cool" and "Hyrule" rhyme.
I'm not playing Zelda U until we get Inkling skins when Splatoon 2 releases.
That's a joke people, I have no knowledge of any skins, Splatoon related or otherwise. But a year long $19.99 expansion pass says we probably get some.
I'm fairly certain this doesn't have to be done at night. I did it during the day.
@Refurin I'm a huge fan of the Hylian Hood as well. I particularly love it with the Soldier's Armor and Legs, all dyed to match. I chose my favorite color, purple, and it's my general go-to outfit. The defense is great as well!
Sweet gotta love skullomania!!
Looks like Links Wrestling gear
@pattybean I'm sure the little girl isn't in the room in the day, so you can't trigger that part of the process - if she's needed to trigger it at all, of course. I just did it at night!
The Rito set is one of my favorites, which is nice because a lot of the game's map requires cold resistant gear. The dark link set is pretty cool too.
I actually just managed my goal of getting all the outfits recently. Except for the Fierce Deity and Skyward Sword set. Hopefully they announce those amiibo soon, the Fierce Deity one looks pretty cool.
I also painted mine in a color that it now looks like a Luchadore. Btw I think I have been forced to changed my username xD So there ya go, this is the new me.
This site has become a massive advert/spoiler-fest for me now...
I'm out
Boo, spoilers! Was it really necessary to put a screenshot of the outfit in the preview? I want to find this stuff myself, but I also don't want to stop visiting gaming sites for the next two month.
@Damo
Literally the only 'required' step is to enter GSC♦ as the password. You don't need to talk to anyone beforehand.
You don't even need to start the quest to eavesdrop either, you can do that any time.
I know where it is but didn't buy it as I don't think it looks great or has any great benefit. Bought the full suit of armour opposite it which I also feel is a waste as I've other pieces that offer heat resistance and I thought wearing the full kit would be flame proof for the volcano areas. But it's not. Anyway, I may buy the Radiant Armour eventually as I have the funds, just need to exchange some of my gems.
I don't want to see them before I get them. Especially if they are a kind of unexpected.
Still looks like a Luchador to me.
Is it POSSIBLE for you to NOT post spoiler based images in your titles? PLEASE?
It can be a pretty powerful set. IF you got good bone weapons. Must be good though to compete with the big boys, and it will sometimes if you do. Just like sometimes you don't have OP weapons its situational. 80 percent damage boost on set 2 upgrade for bone weapons, including bone bows. Stacks with attack up food buffs as well. I just made it because in certain situations its really powerful, and fun to use. I've gotten some pretty good bone weapons with stat upgrades. All armor and your inventory really is situational so it's worth getting this I think. Barbarian set doesn't stack with attack food buff, but works with all weapons ( 50 percent attack boost I think?) so most useful. Although you can just eat for this set, but the added set bonus is nice for charging weapons. Especially two handed weapons. Guardian armor lv2 upgrade stacks and is 80 percent boost with ancient weapons ( for the most part the king of damage when using ++ ancient weps). Waiting on a good Dragonbone bat for some good clobbering time. 45 base damage 81 damage with this set not counting food up, or extra stats ( could be up to 121+ depending on stat boost if there is any). So not bad at all. Better than I expected I almost didn't get it, because I bought a bunch of those monster masks, and used two and got noticed both times. Thinking it was about the same gimmick only to realize its alternative damage output with upgrade level 2.
insert bone pun that wins numberous awards and the bones of everyone here
Eh, I got it to fill out my collection but honestly, this is nowhere near my favorite outfit. My favorite combo is the Champion's tunic, Barbarian Helmet and Climber Pants, while my favorite outfit is the Gerudo Vai outfit just for Link's cute reaction when you receive it. I laughed so hard, I fell from the sofa. For its effect, the Rito outfit against the cold is my favorite. I love hunting rhinos and elks in Hebra.
@Mainer82 This is an outfit in the game. How is that a story-based spoiler?
Spooky scary skeletons
@Damo It may not spoil the main story but still ruins the surprise. I guess I could just not visit this site anymore if that is their attitude to a brand new game. I can understand if it were a year later and this news came out.
Coolest looking? Maybe. Most useless? Definitely.
@Damo IMO the worst kind of spoilers in BotW are not story (because there isn't that much to spoil that you don't see coming a mile away), but rather spoilers about what you can find in the world. For example, there's a certain creature that appears sometimes which to me was a very pleasant surprise to find, and that would have been ruined by an article like this. I'm at 120 hours in, and there are still new things for me to find.
NL is one of the least spoilery sites, but I have to agree this article's thumbnail kinda ruins the surprise for those who don't know this armor exists.
Wow. I dismissed this outfit at first because I thought it just looked like a black rubbersuit. I had no idea it glowed. Definitely gonna get this during my next session haha.
Coolest looking? LOL. The Dark Link pants and shirt with the Lynel mask is the coolest. I run around in that all the time.
@RQuinain You had no idea it glowed? It's called "radiant" for a reason. And obviously you aren't going to be able to see it glow during the day.
Yeah I wish NL wouldn't put up spoilery stuff like this, either. But thanks, I guess. Yet another moment where I'll have 'Oh, it's that thing', instead of 'Wow, awesome!' if I were to have seen it for myself first in the game.
Me don't like
@nab1 I dunno, I think an 80% boosted Dragonbone Moblin Club with three attack boosts is one of the most powerful setups in the game, so I wouldn't call the Skele-suit useless. I think it's even more powerful than full Barbarian with a Savage Lynel Crusher. It's outclassed a bit by full Ancient Armour, three attack boosts, and an Ancient Battle Axe++, but seeing as DBM Clubs are common as muck while ABA++s are pretty damn rare, I'd say it's far from useless.
And with regards to spoilers I'd agree some slightly more cryptic imagery would be ideal. However, we are approaching the 'one month since release' point, which I think of as the curfew on spoilers. But yeah, we hadn't hit it yet, and there's a fine selection of dorky skeletal alternative images that could have been used.
I dunno. I think the Hylian Tunic (dyed green) with the Cap of the Wild (dyed green) + Hylian trousers makes the coolest outfit. This should've been the official promo artwork and it looks like a natural evolution to Link's Twilight Princess tunic imo.
Capless Link in the blue Champion's Tunic just ain't doin' it for me.
I seriously love this outfit...but I have to say, my favourite is still the Champions Tunic. Got all the dragon horns from all 3 dragons and maxed it out! Just wish the Nintendo Switch t-shirt from the Expansion Pass could be upgraded, LOL.
Skeleton Man! Half man. Half skeleton.

Well since they were nice enough to give the password in the article you can skip everything else and just go to the store and provide the password to complete the quest and gain entry.
Yo guys, just wanted to thank you for continuously posting BotW spoilers since release, really cool of you.
@Yosher My thoughts exactly. It's not that big of a deal, but NL could stand to be a bit more considerate.
Please.
Why is spoiler content in the image link for the article? Getting very irritated by this.
One man's "coolest" is another man's "why the hell is this hideous outfit even in this game?"
La Parka! Wish there was a steel folding chair somewhere to use as a weapon.
@Damo I personally don't care about this but it doesn't have to be part of the story to be a spoiler. These images spoil the game for some, couldn't you use something more generic?
@Refurin Hi I'm a long time user of Nintendo life, but have only just signed up to post this to admin & staff folk . Anybody listening. Hey is there any chance we can not have these Breath Of The Wild guides as leading news on the main pages. I for one see them as a massive spoiler. It's great that you folk have discovered the latest costume , weapon , location or achivement but I'd prefer to discover the delights of Hyrule for myself at the pace my life allows. Can you at least refrain from having a thumbnail image of said discovery on the main news page and insert a spoiler marker or something please. I love the site and its the only place I go for my Nintendo news. You'll probably tell me there is some kind of filter to avoid seeing this type of story ? I appreciate that people want to discuss all aspects of this amazing game. I cannot remember any previous guide stories before BOTWs release ??? P.s sorry for my posting etiquette
U.K. LOZ fan
My first thought was to the bullies at the Halloween party in the first Karate Kid movie.
¡MIRA!
¡ERES LUCHA LINK!
I don't know, I thought that this was the tackiest outfit in the game. In terms of simply how cool it looks I have to go with either the Male Gerudo Outfit or the Climbers Gear!
As someone who has never cared about spoilers, I can't relate to people who cry "spoiler!" at every little thing in the game. Now, I respect their opinion of course, but because of my lack of personal feeling on the matter, I find all such comments to be quite hilarious. But seriously, this spoils like 0.02% of the game, why get so riled up about it? I just don't understand...
I really don't like this one either but one of my friends talks it up like it's the greatest thing ever and literally doesn't understand why I wouldn't want this set immediately. He has a bit of a hard time understanding other people have different experiences and opinions than him, though. Anyway, I've known about this armor set for a couple of weeks, but I'm beginning to really agree with the people who are irritated by the "spoiler" images. You guys used to have funny stock images of things like Pikachu that you posted over and over as a joke on certain articles to be funny. Perhaps it's time to come up with a stock BotW image to post on all the articles like this to be courteous instead? @Damo Good idea bad idea? Then it really IS their fault for clicking on the article that says SPOILER or GUIDE in the title.
Hmm... I wonder where this is from?
cough: http://s1.tsuki-board.net/pics/encyclopedia/13680.jpg?t=1356704302
Don't like all the spoilers in the images for these BOTW articles!
I remember wearing this during the Master Sword scene, I did look like a Lucha Wrestler... I even said to myself I must change into something sensible... I forgot.
@Zoya If you don't care about spoilers, of course you're not gonna understand the point of view for those who DO care about spoilers. Even if it's only 0.02% of the game, the sense of discovering it ourselves is still taken away from us by the way this article was presented. No more 'Oh, this is awesome!' when discovering it ourselves, but instead 'Oh, it's this thing...' because it was already spoiled to us, ripping the surprise away. I don't really understand why you felt it necessary to point this out to be honest. You don't care about spoilers, but obviously a good bunch of us still do, so... your comment was honestly a little uncalled for.
Regardless, I'm trying to think of a comparison situation that would help you understand better... but I can't really think of anything, because I have a feeling even in movies or TV shows you don't really care much about spoilers, and not sure if there would be other good comparisons. ..if anyone has one, feel free to jump in.
@Damo There are people who consider pretty much everything to be a spoiler. To these people, just saying "Zelda is in this game" is a spoiler.
This set is awesome, largely because the set bonus makes it tolerable to do stuff at night since the skeleton enemies leave you alone when you wear it. Those guys are so frequent and annoying in this game that I've started sitting/sleeping to skip night almost every single time. This set lets me reclaim the night, and for that I am grateful.
Get him a custom built electric bass (not the fish, stupid) and you can pretend to be John Entwistle playing at the Isle of Wight.
@abbyhitter Thank you for that, really not necessary though. I saw pictures of it just as a black suit and immediately dismissed it as something I didn't really want to pursue right away considering there are thousands of other things I wanted to do in the game. So let's not try to get all high and mighty here. If it offends you so much I have the radiant armor set now.
@Yosher Let me reword myself a little. What I meant to say was I don't understand why people complain about it that much, when there's so much else left. Asking to not post spoilery images and things is absolutely fine and again, I respect the idea of those that count everything a spoiler. But if you have 99.98 percent of the game to still discover on your own, why get so riled up by the other .02, and possibly let it cloud the rest of your experience? That's more what I meant.
To illustrate, when I went to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I was spoiled that a certain someone dies. That didn't stop my enjoyment of the rest of the movie, even though it made that moment much less emotional. My bad if I came off a little rude though, Yosher. I can tell you feel strongly about this.
