Keese are mono-eyed bats that like hiding in dark caves and prefer to come out at night. As longtime enemies in theLegend of Zeldagames, it’s only natural they’d make a return inBreath of the Wild. Defeating enemies will drop monster parts such as fangs or horns, and the Keese are no exception.

Link will need to collect different Keese Wings for several Armor Sets inBreath of the Wild. There are regular Keese, Ice Keese, Fire Keese, and Electric Keese. While some may find it taxing in finding them, Keese are weak enemies with 1HP. Thus, it won’t take much effort to knock them out of the sky.

Where to Find Keese

Every type of Keese can be foundat nightorhanging from the ceilings in caves. The brown/normal Keese are more common in theCentral ProvinceandGreat Plateauof Hyrule. Other types areconfined to specific regions. The best thing to do iswait until nightand start walking around the fields. Around theCentral Tower, players may stumble upon a group of Keese. This is known as aKeese Swarm, and they’re great when Link needs a Keese Wing or two.

Despite their 1HP, Keese are fast and can be difficult to shoot with an arrow if players aren’t ZL-targetting. Before they attack, their eyes willglow red, which indicates that Link should guard/dodge. When confronted with a Keese Swarm, the best way to deal with them is by chucking a bomb (or Bomb Arrow) their way. Once a Keese Swarm is hit and loses several Keese, it will take off.

Aside from Keese Wings, Keese may sometimes drop a Keese Eyeball. These can besold to Kilton for Monor used to upgrade the Soldier’s Armor. Players may have noticed that although they have Keese Wings, they’re not the right type for their armor. To find other types of Keese, Link will need to explore Hyrule’s other regions.

The following armor sets require Keese Wings for upgrades:

Where to Find Fire Keese

As their name indicates, Fire Keese are Keese that are literally on fire.Never attack these guys with a wooden swordunless Link need a makeshift torch. If a weapon catches fire, it can be extinguished with theB-button.

Fire Keese are foundin the Eldin Region. There areseveral Keesein theSouthern Minenear some of the Ore Deposits. Strike them as they fly near or snipe them with arrows. Fire Keese areinstantly defeatedif players shoot anIce Arrowat them. Again, given the weakness of Keese, using elemental or bomb arrows is generally considered a waste.

When a Fire Keese is defeated, it will drop aFire Keese Winginstead of a regular Keese Wing. The following armor sets require Fire Keese Wings in their upgrades:

Where to Find Electric Keese

Electric Keese are common in theFaron Province(south of Hyrule) and theGerudo Wasteland. These can give Link quite a shock if he’s hit by one thanks to their electric shield. The best way to take these guys out is with arrows. If players prefer to use a melee weapon, thenuse a wooden weapon. Using a metal weapon will shock Link and cause him to drop his sword (or shield, depending on ifhe’s wielding the Master Sword).

Defeating Electric Keese causes them to drop anElectric Keese Wing. The following armor sets require the use of Electric Keese Wings:

Where to Find Ice Keese

Ice Keese are found in theHebra regionand onMount Lanayru. There are also some Ice Keese onMount Hyliain theGreat Plateau. One touch from their frozen tackle canfreeze Link. If frozen, shake the control stick to break free. Alternatively, players that have a level 2 Snowquill Set can get theUnfreezableSet Bonus to protect themselves from an Ice Keese’s frigid attacks. They can also wearZant’s Helmet (DLC only)to get the Unfreezable ability as well.

Usingflame weaponssuch as aFlamespearcan melt these enemies to nothing. Like the Fire Keese Wings, the Ice Keese Wings are needed for two armor sets. So Link will need to farm more than a handful if players intend on upgrading the following armor sets:
