Crimson Desert Dark Marksman Armor Guide: For those who enjoy wearing fancy and impressive armour that makes one look cool, the Dark Marksman Plate from Crimson Desert may become a great choice. This armour set features some sort of enigmatic identity that resembles Samara the Sandwatcher, the desert mystery who comes and goes in the wind.
The best thing about the Dark Marksman Plate armour is that no boss must be defeated to receive this equipment. All you have to do is find the treasure chests scattered all over the map of Demeniss.
What Makes This Armour Set Special
Apart from stats, this armour set is very popular due to how cool it looks when worn. The best feature is the Plate Cloak, which replaces the helmet with an illusion, making your character wear a hooded dark mask. It makes the character more stylish and gives him a sense of fear and intimidation. No boss needs to be defeated to get this set, thus making it one of the coolest armours to get.
All Locations of Armor Pieces
This armour set consists of four pieces – plate armour (chest), plate boots, gloves, and a cloak. They are located at different locations and accessed using a unique technique.
Plate Armour (Chest) – Fort Musket
This piece is the easiest to obtain. Avoid using the front entrance into the fort. Locate a hole in the wall next to the wooden scaffolding.
Slide through it by crouching, and you will find the chest. No fights involved here; only clever positioning is needed.
Plate Boots – Forgotten Watchtower Basement
Navigate to the Forgotten Watchtower and descend via exterior stairs. Be careful because falling objects appear in the basement, which causes red lights on your character. You should watch your hero carefully. Once inside, locate the marked wall and break it using Force Palm. The boots will be found there.
Plate Boots – Forgotten Watchtower Basement
Go to the Forgotten Watchtower and climb downstairs using the external stairs there. Be wary of falling debris, and pay close attention to your character’s position because a red light will appear right before an attack.
Look for any wall marked with a square and destroy it using Force Palm. You’ll find the boots behind it.
Plate Gloves – Watchtower Upper Section
In the same tower as before, but this time, don’t enter the building. Instead, climb the external walls up until you reach a small passage there. Once inside, you’ll notice a floor tile. Rotate that tile using Force Palm and fall into a hidden chamber to collect your gloves.
Plate Cloak – Warrior’s Soul Cavern
The most critical and exciting item from this equipment set. Go to the north-eastern part of Demeniss and look for a waterfall near Drywind Valley. Get down from the upper level and dive through the waterfall from above using Stab or Thrust. Once inside, get to a hidden cavern and retrieve the plate cloak.
Dark Marksman Set Statistics
There are many advantages to this set, even after being enhanced. The chest gives health recovery and spirit recovery, making it extremely effective during prolonged combat.
The boots and gloves give defence and mobility boosts, but the cloak provides fire protection and aesthetic customisation options. The chest also has many equipment slots, allowing you to use it for various endgame builds.
Cloak’s Special Trait
The cloak not only provides an aesthetic change; it alters the entire look of your character. With the hood on, your helmet disappears and is replaced with a dark mask. If you have the hood off, your standard helmet will show up again.
Players can switch between them using the armour menu anytime. This is essentially a hide helmet feature, something that players appreciate very much.
Crimson Desert Dark Marksman Armor Guide: Advantages and Disadvantages
There are plenty of positive aspects to consider, although there are a few negatives too. Firstly, the lack of any required boss battle means that the set is available to almost anyone. Its visual customisation is another plus point. As far as disadvantages go, there is no helmet, and certain areas may be difficult to locate without assistance.
