    Where to Find the Dark Marksman’s Cloak in Crimson Desert and Completing the Challenge

    If you’re exploring Pywel in search of stylish gear in Crimson Desert, you’ll want to know how to find the Dark Marksman’s Plate Cloak. This armor piece is quite special because it changes how your helmet looks, depending on whether you have the hood up or down.

    We’ll guide you to the exact location where you can find the Dark Marksman’s Plate Cloak to upgrade both your style and fire resistance. If you care more about appearance than stats, this cloak is a great choice because of its unique look.

    Where to Find the Dark Marksman’s Plate Cloak

    You can find the Dark Marksman’s Plate Cloak in the Warrior’s Soul Cave, located in the northeast part of Demeniss.

    The cave is behind a waterfall northwest of Drywind Valley, east of Breezeblown Knoll. Approach the waterfall from that side so you can jump down easily by gliding. Use the Stab skill (RB/R1 + Y/Triangle) to cut through the rushing water and enter the cave behind it.

    Inside the cave, head toward the back. There, you’ll discover a treasure chest containing the Dark Marksman’s Plate Cloak and a Palmer Pill. You can also find a Refined Palmer Pill and three other chests on either side—one of which contains rare gems.

    The armor in brief

    | Armor Name | Attack | Defense | Refinement | Effects |
    |——————————|———|———–|————|—————————|
    | Dark Marksman’s Plate Cloak | — | 3 | 3 | Fire Resistance Lv. 3 |

    This armor offers decent protection but is probably not as good overall as the Plate Cloak of Shadows from the Armor of Shadows set, mainly because it has lower fire resistance (Lv. 3 versus Lv. 7). Both have the same defensive rating.

    If fire resistance isn’t a concern for you, the Dark Marksman’s Plate Cloak stands out thanks to its distinctive look.

    Toggle Helmet Appearance

    The cloak features a unique helmet that you can turn on or off. When the toggle is on, the helmet appears dark with a small slit to see through, replacing your actual helmet’s visuals. To switch this effect, select the cloak in your armor menu on the radial wheel. Each time you do, you’ll either put your hood up to display the helmet or take it off to reveal your regular helmet.

    Fans of characters like Revan or Kylo Ren from Star Wars might prefer to keep the hood up, as the mask has a somewhat similar look—at least within the style of Crimson Desert.

    How to Obtain the Dusk Marksman’s Plate Cloak in Crimson Desert Through Completing and Solving

    Crimson Desert is now out, giving you a new huge fantasy world to explore. As the mercenary swordsman Kliff, you’ll battle waves of enemies, solve puzzles, complete quests for different factions, and find many secrets along the way.

    One of these secrets is the Dusk Marksman’s Plate Cloak. It’s a stylish, edgy-looking cloak and helmet combo you can find hidden in Demeniss. Here’s where to find the cloak and what it offers if you’re more interested in its practicality than looks.

    ### Dusk Marksman’s Plate Cloak Location

    To get the Dusk Marksman’s Plate Cloak, you need to head east through Demeniss to reach Drywind Valley. This can be challenging — especially early in the game, when you’re still doing quests in Hernand. You’ll have to ride your horse across large areas to reach the location. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes if you stay on the main roads, so plan accordingly.

    Demeniss is filled with enemies because a aggressive, military group controls much of the area. For those without a lot of gear or upgrades for Kliff, it’s best to avoid fights if you can. The only potential ambush site is Breezeblown Knoll, where enemies hide in the wheat fields and may attack if you get off your horse.

    When you reach the marked spot, look for a big waterfall between two cliffs. At the bottom of the waterfall, there’s a rocky path that goes into the water. Float or climb down this path and get close to where the water hits the rocks. Use the right bumper + Y on Xbox or right bumper + Triangle on PlayStation to perform a thrust attack. This lets you stab through the water and enter the cave.

    ### Noteworthy: Entering the Cave

    There’s no other way into the cave because the water pushes you away if you try to walk or run into it. Follow the path inside until you reach a small area with chests, a Refined Palmer Pill, and a larger chest that contains the Dusk Marksman’s Plate Cloak. You don’t need to fight enemies or solve puzzles in the cave—just ride to the location, and the cloak is yours.

    ### Is the Dusk Marksman’s Plate Cloak Worth It?

    For players who prioritize function over fashion, the cloak is decent. It has 3 Defense and 3 Fire Resistance. While it doesn’t give huge advantages like some powerful swords, the extra fire resistance can be helpful, especially when fighting enemies like the Bleed Bandits, who use makeshift flamethrowers.

    In terms of appearance, if you’re wondering why your cloak doesn’t have two chained spears attached like mine do, that’s likely a bug. If you perform a glide jump off a roof or cliff and press X on Xbox or Square on PlayStation, the spears will appear on your back after you land. They don’t affect gameplay, and the only way to remove them is to take off the cloak in your inventory and put it back on. Once you start gliding again, the spears reappear and stay until you re-equip the cloak.
