33 Blade Cavern is a hidden cave tucked behind the waterfall at Fort Warspike in the Hernand region. While the interior is shallow, the gentle sound of the water and the cool air make it a pleasant enough spot to catch your breath. Despite its small size, the cave contains valuable loot as part of the Dark Ringleader's armor set.

88 The Dark Ringleader's Cloth Armor is the chest piece of the Dark Ringleader's set and the most defensively significant piece of the collection. Its Movement Speed Lv. 2 bonus is higher than most other armor pieces, making it a strong pickup for players who value mobility in combat. The +0.1 Spirit per second passive regeneration helps sustain skill usage over time, reducing the need to wait between casts during extended fights.

1616 Head to Fort Warspike and locate the waterfall on the fort's perimeter. Look for the stone cairn at the base of the waterfall, which confirms the cave entrance. Use the Stab technique (RB + Y on controller, or Shift + Right Click on mouse and keyboard) while standing in front of the waterfall to push through the cascading water into the cave. Once inside, the treasure chest is visible at the back of the short cavern.

1818 About Waterfall Caves
1919  
2020 Throughout Pywel, many waterfalls conceal hidden caves behind their curtain of water. These secret locations are known as Waterside Caves. Players can discover them by completing large environmental puzzles, which reward a key item that reveals the locations of hidden places, usually waterfall caves around the map. A small stone cairn placed near the base of a waterfall is the telltale sign that a cave exists behind it.

2222 To enter a waterfall cave, use the Stab technique (RB + Y on controller, or Shift + Right Click on mouse and keyboard) while facing the waterfall. Walking directly into the waterfall without using Stab will knock Kliff backward and deal damage. Once inside, loot the treasure chest to collect the cave's unique equipment reward.
