The Leather Garb is a body armor in Beast of Reincarnation that Emma can pick up during Chapter 4, while the main quest “Origin of the Ringing” pushes you through the Pilgrim’s Zone. It stands out for its high Flame Resistance, making it a practical swap before fire-heavy encounters.
Quick answer: During Chapter 4, travel to the Cave Depths camp in the Pilgrim’s Zone, ride the cave elevator, and open the glowing Strongbox next to the campfire to take the Leather Garb.
Leather Garb location in the Pilgrim’s Zone
The Leather Garb sits inside a cave on the eastern side of the Pilgrim’s Zone, part of the Mountainous Region. You reach it naturally as you follow the “Origin of the Ringing” objective to pass through the cave. The Strongbox holding it is right beside the Cave Depths campfire, near the shelves.
If you pass the cave without checking the campfire, fast travel back to the Cave Depths node to grab the Strongbox. It stays available after the chapter moves on.
Leather Garb stats and effects
The Leather Garb is thick leather clothing made from tanned malefakt hide. Its defining trait is a Flame Resistance of 80, the highest fire protection among the armor pieces you can own by this point.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Defense | 34 |
| Spirit Stone Slots | 4 |
| Enemy Awareness | High |
| Flame Resistance | 80 |
The High Enemy Awareness rating means the detection gauge fills faster, so patrols spot you more quickly while you wear it. Stealth takedowns still work, but you get a shorter window to act. That trade-off makes the Leather Garb best suited to fights where fire damage is the real threat rather than sections you want to sneak through.
How to confirm you got the Leather Garb
Opening the Strongbox brings up the item card showing “Leather Garb” with its base Defense and Spirit Stone Slots. To equip it, open the Equipment menu and select it from your armor list, where it appears alongside pieces like the Chain Mail, Insulating Mail, and Floral Wraps. Once worn, Emma’s equipped armor slot updates to the Leather Garb and the Flame Resistance value shows on the equipment screen.
