The Archaic Warm Greaves are located on the Great Sky Island, which is one of the many floating islands that you can explore using Link’s new abilities. Head to the Gutanbac Shrine on the southwest part of the Great Sky Island. From there, head northeast until you find a high place with a hollow tree on top.

To explore this place, you need to cook one to five Spicy Peppers to get food that gives you Cold Resistance, as it is impossible to traverse this area without it. You can find these peppers all over this place.

Use the Ultrahand ability to join three to four logs and create a bridge to reach the hollow tree. Or, if you already have the Ascend ability, use it on the wooden platform of the hollow tree to get to the upper level of the platform. Inside the tree trunk, there will be a small opening containing a chest that will possess the Archaic Warm Greaves.

Here's a guide on how to complete the quests of the Gutenbac Shrine to gain the Ascend ability.
