Frostcursed Plate Gloves
October 29, 2026 at 10:30 AM
Resolve the conflicting fixed-Unique and inherent-no-socket claims using the exact refinement and occupied-gear records.
The Frostcursed Plate Gloves are a unique Gloves piece in Crimson Desert. These heavy plate gauntlets provide 17 ATK and 5 DEF, making them one of the stronger gloves options in the game. Unlike most Frostcursed set pieces, the Gloves come with built-in Abyss Gear effects: Ice Resistance Lv.1 and Damage Reduction 1.0. They are part of the Frost Cursed Plate set and are found inside Lunar Spirit Grotto in the Demeniss region.

The acquired 17-Attack/5-Defense display matches +3 in the separate progression, rather than its +0 values of 11 Attack and 2 Defense. At +10 the record reaches 35 Attack and 19 Defense. Its two installed gears are Frostward I and Aegis I; do not treat the Unique label as a reason that the item cannot be refined.
At Refinement Level 0, this item provides the following stats:

Higher refinement levels increase these stats further. Visit a Blacksmith to refine this equipment.
Khron at Tar Equipment and a Smith recipe of Abyss Cell x10 plus any three eligible Kuku Pot Sealed Items are additional recorded references. Their first-unlock conditions are not established here. The direct documented pickup remains the Lunar Spirit Grotto chest, reached with Stab through the Denn River waterfall.
The Frostcursed Plate Gloves are found in a treasure chest inside Lunar Spirit Grotto, a hidden cave in Demeniss. The grotto is concealed behind a waterfall along the Denn River in the northern part of the region.
To reach the chest, follow these steps:
Travel to the Denn River in northern Demeniss and locate the waterfall entrance.
Use the Stab skill in front of the waterfall to pass through the water curtain and enter Lunar Spirit Grotto.
Follow the cave path until you reach the end of the grotto.
Open the treasure chest to receive the Frostcursed Plate Gloves.
When using the Stab skill to pass through the waterfall, hold the input to charge the attack rather than tapping it. Charging the Stab gives it more forward momentum, making it easier to punch through the water curtain on the first attempt. It is common for players to bounce off the waterfall on their initial try, so do not worry if it takes a couple of attempts to get the timing right.
The Frostcursed Plate Gloves belong to the Frost Cursed Plate set. All five pieces are hidden behind waterfalls and secret passages in Demeniss:
Frostcursed Plate Helm (Southern Chattering Rocks)
Frostcursed Plate Armor (Misthard Cave)

Frostcursed Plate Boots (Well of Tragedy)
At 17 ATK and 5 DEF, the Frostcursed Plate Gloves rank among the top-tier gloves in the game. The Grotevant Plate Gloves offer slightly more ATK (18) but have lower DEF (3) and no Abyss Gear bonuses. The Scorch Flame Plate Gloves match the Frostcursed Plate Gloves at 17 ATK / 5 DEF and carry their own Abyss Gear effects (Fire Resistance Lv.1 and Damage Reduction 1.0), making the choice between them a matter of whether you need ice or fire resistance.
These gloves have a recorded +0 to +10 progression at the Blacksmith, despite the earlier Unique-means-fixed claim. Attack runs from 11 to 35 and Defense from 2 to 19.
Ice Resistance Lv.1 and Damage Reduction 1 come from the listed Frostward I and Aegis I Abyss Core gears, occupying two sockets. They are not unsocketed inherent bonuses or two additional empty slots.
Combined with the Frostcursed Plate Armor's Ice Resistance Lv.7 and the Frostcursed Plate Cloak's Ice Resistance Lv.5, the Gloves add another Lv.1 of ice protection for deep cold-zone exploration.
Only the Stab skill is required to enter Lunar Spirit Grotto, making these gloves one of the easier Frostcursed pieces to collect.

The gloves are tucked inside the Luna Spirit Grotto, a secret waterfall cave north of Demeniss. On the world map the entrance lines up roughly with the M of the Demeniss label, by a body of water with thorny ruins in the middle.
After grabbing the helm at the Chattering Rocks, mount up and ride toward the gloves marker on the map.
Drop a map marker on the spot before leaving the menu. The terrain has cliffs and forest, so a beeline marker keeps the route honest.
Ride down the rocky cliff line and through the small forested patch of trees toward the body of water with the central ruins.
At the water's edge, remount on the far side and continue east. The next stretch is a short cliff drop down to a waterfall.
The waterfall hides the cave entrance on its far left side. Look for a small stone stack on the bank that marks the entry. Drop down to the bottom of the falls, line up with the stone stack, and stab the waterfall with R1 and Triangle to enter.
Step inside and loot the chest containing the gloves. A Refined Palmar Pill sits next to the main chest, and a couple of smaller chests in the chamber drop extra crafting materials. Open all of them on the way through.
Frostcursed Plate Gloves with ice resistance and a few abyss gear slots.
One Refined Palmar Pill plus several minor crafting drops from the side chests.
The gloves can be upgraded, so they remain useful into the late game alongside the helm and boots.
