Every Golden Greed Plate Armor Piece in Crimson Desert and Where to Find It

The Golden Greed Plate Armor set is one of the flashiest gear collections you can wear in Crimson Desert, draping Kliff in gold-adorned plate from head to toe. Beyond the look, the set delivers strong physical defense, solid attack bonuses on two pieces, and useful Abyss Gears across the board. Every piece is stashed behind a hidden puzzle or environmental obstacle in the southeastern and southern regions of the map, and most require a specific combat ability to access.

Quick answer: The five pieces are found at the Sanctum of Renunciation (Helm), Bursada Castle Ruins (Armor), Venomblade Grotto (Cloak), Gale of Judgement Cave (Gloves), and Arehaza Cave (Boots). You will need the Force Palm, Focused Force Palm, and Stab abilities unlocked before you can collect them all.

The Gloves and Boots are the only pieces that carry Attack values, making them particularly valuable for melee builds. The Helm’s Daze Immunity and the Cloak’s Fire Resistance Lv 3 add defensive utility that pairs well with the set’s overall tankiness. The set also complements the Golden GreatHammer and Golden Shield if you want a full gold-themed loadout.

Golden Greed Plate Helm — Sanctum of Renunciation

Region: Tashkalp, southeast of the Crimson Desert.

Travel to the Sanctum of Renunciation. Once inside, head toward the southwest corner of the building, where you will find a set of stairs.

Look for two unlit lanterns next to the stairs. Interact with both to light them. A hidden wall will slide open, revealing a Treasure Chest.

Open the chest to collect the Golden Greed Plate Helm. You will see it added to your inventory with its Daze Immunity effect and Defense 3 Abyss Gear slot.

💡

No special ability is required for this piece — just light both lanterns. It’s the most straightforward pickup in the set.

Golden Greed Plate Armor — Bursada Castle Ruins

Region: Tashkalp, southeast of the Crimson Desert.

Head to the Bursada Castle Ruins. Find the large door near the base of the castle, just before the stairs that lead upward, and pass through it heading north.

Take a left inside to enter a long corridor. Follow it all the way to the end, where you will see a breakable wall.

Use Force Palm (R3) to smash through the wall. A hidden room will open up with a Treasure Chest inside containing the Armor piece.

This is the highest-defense piece in the set at 14, and it carries three Abyss Gear slots covering Movement Speed, passive Health regeneration, and Swim Speed.

Golden Greed Plate Cloak — Venomblade Grotto

Region: Red River, southeast of the Crimson Desert.

Follow the Red River upstream, heading north, until you reach a waterfall near Venomblade Grotto.

Face the waterfall and use Stab (R1 + Triangle) to dash through the falling water. Kliff will pass through and land in a hidden alcove behind it.

Open the Treasure Chest inside to pick up the Golden Greed Plate Cloak. It grants Fire Resistance Lv 3 as its special effect.

The Cloak has the lowest raw Defense of the set at 4, but Fire Resistance Lv 3 can be extremely useful in specific encounters and environmental hazards.

Golden Greed Plate Gloves — Gale of Judgement Cave

Region: Denn River, south of the Crimson Desert, east of Drywind Valley.

Locate the waterfall near the wooden bridge east of Drywind Valley. You need to reach the midway point along the waterfall’s edge — look for a narrow platform partway down.

Drop down to the midway platform. From there, face the waterfall and use Stab (R1 + Triangle) to pass through the water into a hidden cave entrance.

Inside the cave, open the Treasure Chest to claim the Golden Greed Plate Gloves. These carry 20 Attack and two Abyss Gear slots, both providing Defense 3.

⚠️

The drop to the midway platform can be tricky. If you fall past it, you will need to climb back up and try again. Position yourself carefully at the edge before dropping.

Golden Greed Plate Boots — Arehaza Cave

Region: Red River, south of the Crimson Desert.

Head to the bottom of the Red River area and travel east into a cave entrance. Inside, look to the left to find a blocked path.

Activate Focus by pressing L3 + R3 simultaneously. While in Focus mode, hold R3 to charge Focus: Force Palm. Watch for a glowing gold orb to appear on the barrier.

Release the buttons when the orb is visible to shatter the barrier. Enter the newly opened passage and open the Treasure Chest to collect the Golden Greed Plate Boots.

The Boots provide 19 Attack and 7 Defense along with Stamina Regen +2% and Movement Speed 1 through their Abyss Gears — a strong combination for exploration and sustained combat.

Abilities You Need Before Collecting the Full Set

Ability	Input	Used For
Force Palm	R3	Armor (Bursada Castle Ruins)
Focus: Force Palm	L3 + R3, then hold R3	Boots (Arehaza Cave)
Stab	R1 + Triangle	Cloak (Venomblade Grotto), Gloves (Gale of Judgement Cave)

Make sure you have all three abilities unlocked before attempting a full collection run. The Helm at the Sanctum of Renunciation requires no special ability, so it makes a good starting point. From there, the most efficient route moves southeast to Bursada Castle Ruins for the Armor, then south along the Red River to grab the Cloak and Boots, finishing at Gale of Judgement Cave for the Gloves.

Once all five pieces are equipped, you will notice the full gold aesthetic immediately on Kliff’s character model. The combined stat spread leans heavily into physical defense while the Gloves and Boots add meaningful Attack power, making the Golden Greed set a practical choice for players who want durability without sacrificing offensive output.
