The Yiga Clan Hideout no longer has any Yiga Blademasters that will attack, but rather a Yiga Blademaster NPC standing atop a high platform that Link can interact with once he has all pieces of the Yiga Set and wears them to infiltrate the hideout. This Blademaster will not recognize Link but assume him to be a new recruit, and put him through trials that involve him defeating progressively larger groups of Yiga Footsoldiers that attack him at once. When Link clears all of the trials, the Blademaster rewards him with the [[Lightning Helm]] and the [[Earthwake Technique]], allowing Link to use the same ground-altering attack as Blademasters if he isn't holding a weapon. Another Blademaster NPC can be talked to in the treasure room, and the pit where Link fought [[Master Kohga]] in the previous game is now a chasm leading to the Depths. There are no Yiga Blademasters that are encountered below the surface of Hyrule.

They will now carry and attack with a decayed [[Eightfold Longblade]], which functions similarly to the previous game's [[Windcleaver]]. They remain very passive and methodical fighters that make Link keep his distance from them. They can also alter the ground to attack Link, which creates an updraft that, by using the [[Paraglider]], and is a way to get into the air and get in an attack on the Blademaster. Upon completing [[The Yiga Clan Exam]] sidequest, which also requires Link to disguise as a Yiga soldier, another Yiga Blasdemaster NPC will reward him with a rare [[Eightfold Longblade✨]], an undecayed variant of the [[Eightfold Longblade]].

It's assumed that Yiga Blademasters don't die once defeated, but rather, teleport away to flee. However, shooting them with arrows fused with [[Ancient Blade]]s effectively vaporizes them, implying that they indeed die if this weapon is used against them.
