Crimson Desert is an open-world RPG where you play as a mercenary named Kliff, trying to rebuild his clan after a devastating defeat. Most of your time will be spent completing quests, battling bosses, or solving puzzles in the sky. However, there are many items you might miss if you don’t explore thoroughly.
One of these items is Helfryn Leather armor, found in the capital city of the Demeniss region. Here’s how to find this hidden armor and what each piece offers.
Black Sun Shield Location
To find the Black Sun Shield, go to the castle located in the southern part of the city. Look for a long bridge that connects the streets to the main castle. Jump into the water and swim under the archway that’s farthest from the castle. Face the castle and stab your knife into the wall with Left Trigger. Then, perform a Force Push to flip the tricky wall, revealing a small room with a chest that contains the Black Sun Shield.
The shield is at Refinement Level 4, provides 7 Defense, and grants a Level 2 Movement Speed boost. It also has two Abyss Gear slots equipped with Damage Reduction 1 and Guard Stamina Cost reduction cores.
Tip: If you find it difficult to find this gear in Demeniss City, consider coming back after completing Chapter 8. By then, the city won’t be hostile, making exploration and item gathering much easier.
Helfryn Leather Armor Set Location
Helfryn Leather Boots Location
To get the boots, head to the main castle on the south side of the city. Outside, look at the main gate leading into the city. To the right of the gate, along the wall, there’s a small hole covered with wooden boards. Break the boards with your weapon and enter the space. Inside, you’ll find a chest containing the Helfryn Leather Boots and a Palmer Pill.
The boots are at Refinement Level 3, with 15 Attack, 4 Defense, Critical Rate Level 2, and Lightning Resistance 1. They also include two Abyss Gear slots that increase Silver gained by 10% and provide Fire Resistance Level 1.
Helfryn Leather Chest Piece Location
For the chest armor, go to the southeastern part of the city. Look for a group of white stone towers, and at ground level, find the front of the taller bell tower (the side with the large crowd of soldiers and civilians). Climb about halfway up on the left side of the tower until you reach a small stone ledge with several short columns.
Find a spot where the columns form a small rectangle and press Kliff against it. Push the stone wall to reveal a hidden chamber. Inside, find a chest containing the Helfryn Leather Armor.
This chest piece is at Refinement Level 3, offers 9 Defense, Lightning Resistance 1, and has three Abyss Gear slots. These slots already contain items that boost health regeneration, swim speed, and damage reduction.
Helfryn Leather Gloves Location
Next, go north to a guard tower with vines growing on one side. Climb up the vines on the southern side of the tower. Just below the roof, you’ll see a secret flip wall on the left of the vines. Insert your knife into the wall with Left Trigger, then perform a Force Palm strike to flip the wall and access a hidden treasure room. Remember to hold the resist button, or you’ll be thrown off when the wall turns.
Open the chest inside to get the Helfryn Leather Gloves. They are at Refinement Level 3, featuring 16 Attack, 4 Defense, Lightning Resistance 1, and Critical Rate 1. They also have two Abyss Gear slots, one of which increases the chance to find extra items when pickpocketing and boosts climbing speed.
Helfryn Leather Cloak Location
For the cloak, return outside the tower where you found the gloves. Look at the side where you performed the Force Push. Nearby, there’s a U-shaped building with a brown roof. Find a second-floor window just above a stone arch that you can open.
Climb through the window into the attic, where you will find the Helfryn Leather Cloak in the back right corner. The cloak has 3 Defense and 5 Ice Resistance, making it a good choice for exploring Pailune.
