Correct the mineral bonus and Resist/Force Palm entry, and separate acquired Defense from progression.
11Overview22Frozen Heart Plate Armor is a Mythical Plate Armor body armor piece in Crimson Desert. A silver plate armor modeled after the Machina Knight, crafted with inspiration from the Machina Knight's strong appearance. The cold, gleaming metal surface reveals the wearer's dignity and ruthlessness. Its unwavering defense allows the wearer to focus on attacking.66Stats88StatValueGradeMythicalArmor TypePlate ArmorSlotBodyDefense10Price2,910 Silver9+The earlier Defense 10 display corresponds to +3 in the recorded progression, which starts at Defense 4 and reaches 41 at +10. The pickup guide shows Defense 41, not a new +0 baseline. Three sockets are occupied by Fortification II, Vitality I and Blessing of the Earth I. The older Silver-price unit, Patch 1.02 hint attribution, Chapter 11 cloak gate and dye/repair appearance advice below remain separate observations, not independently established by this chest record.10+StatValueGradeMythicalArmor TypePlate ArmorSlotBodyEarlier Defense display; not +010Earlier price; units unverified2,910 Silver1012Refinement1113At Refinement Level 0, this item provides the following stats:1315StatValueDefense41517Higher refinement levels increase these stats further. Visit a Blacksmith to refine this equipment.1618How to Obtain1820The map hint is Hidden Treasure Map Piece 7, found in the miniature castle just south of the Church of Hernand at a lower elevation beside its surrounding wall. Leore at Del Equipment is the named recorded seller. A Smith recipe uses Abyss Cell x30 plus any three eligible sealed Power Core items from Gate of Collapse, Ore of Resipiscence, Casket of Illusions, Crown of Shadows or Spire of Defiance. These are three total group items, not three of each; initial stock and crafting unlocks remain unverified.22+This item can be found as loot in the open world or obtained through specific quests and encounters.2024Notes2226Plate armor offers the highest defense values in the game but comes with the heaviest weight, sitting above Chain Mail, Leather Armor, and Cloth Armor in terms of protection.Equipment can be improved through the Refinement System at a Blacksmith.2428How to Obtain2630The Frozen Heart Plate Armor is the reward hidden inside Hidden Treasure Map Piece 7. It is found at Delia Castle. From the castle, cross the bridge inside and turn left right through the area. Once you pass through, turn around and look back at the wall you just came through. You will see a giant square treasure wall. Use Force Palm on the wall to break it open, then enter to collect the armor.31+The Frozen Heart Plate Armor chest is hinted at by Hidden Treasure Map Piece 7; earlier route notes name Delia Castle as its location; the documented location is Delesyia Castle. Find the left-side wall with two banners and supplies beneath it, climb to the panel, hold Resist and use Force Palm to flip it and enter the hidden room, then open the chest at the far end.2832When using a Lantern near the wall, the lantern will vibrate and display a force palm icon, confirming that this is the correct spot to break open. This visual cue was added in Patch 1.02 to help players locate and identify treasure walls more easily.3034Stats and Bonuses3236The Frozen Heart Plate Armor comes pre-rolled with Defense +6 on the item already, along with a bonus to Health and a 10% chance to mine additional aura. The combination of base defense, health, and the aura mining bonus makes it a strong early-game pickup that rewards players who go out of their way to solve the treasure map.37+The Frozen Heart Plate Armor comes pre-rolled with Defense +6 on the item already, along with a bonus to Health and a 10% chance to mine additional minerals. Fortification II supplies the listed Defense +6, Vitality I supplies recovery and Blessing of the Earth I supplies the mineral chance. These installed effects should not be added twice to a displayed Defense total; the exact recovery rate is not established by the malformed item-record value.3438Why it is Worth Getting3640Compared to other early-game chest armors, the Frozen Heart Plate Armor offers above-average defense for its tier and stacks an extra utility effect through the aura mining chance. Because it is tied to a single hidden treasure map rather than a crafting chain or quest line, players who find it early can skip the usual grind and equip a competitive chest piece long before most standard armor upgrades become available.41+The documented chest pickup provides a mining utility effect through Blessing of the Earth I. It is associated with a hidden treasure map, but the recorded merchant and Smith recipe mean that the map route is not an established exclusive source. The earlier early-game ranking does not compare every armor at the same refinement level.3842See Also4044Plate Armor - All plate armor piecesArmor - Overview of all armor typesRefinement System - How to upgrade equipmentEquipment - Full equipment guide4246Detailed Pickup Route in Delesyia Castle4448The chest piece is hidden deep inside Delesyia Castle. Before heading to the main gate, equip the Vigione Helmet. The guards on duty wear the same helmet type, so wearing it lets you pass the inspection without a fight. Any other helmet will trigger a confrontation.49+The chest is inside Delesyia Castle. For the documented main-gate approach, equip the Visione headgear to enter without alerting the guards, or climb over the walls to sneak in. The headgear is an option, not proof that every other approach must trigger combat.4650From the fast travel point just outside the city, jump down the cliff and run straight toward the main gate. Slip past the guards, and once inside the courtyard, turn immediately left to skirt around a giant mechanical walker. Keep following the wall until you spot a stack of wooden crates pushed up against it.4852Above those crates is a suspicious wall panel. Press L2 to grip the panel, then use the R3 button to rotate it. The wall opens up into a hidden alcove, and the chest containing the Frozen Heart Plate Armor sits inside.53+Above the supplies, climb to the panel between the banners. Hold Resist while on the wall, then use Force Palm to flip it and drop into the hidden room; this is not a documented R3-rotation interaction.5054Chapter 11 Context5256The full set is tied to the Mechanite side boss storyline. While this chest piece can be looted before you finish the main plot, the cloak half of the set only drops during Chapter 11, Truth and Reality. See the Forbidden Gatekeeper quest for details on unlocking the matching cloak.5458Dye and Repair Tips5660Dye vendors can restyle this chest piece. Using a shinier material makes it fully metallic instead of the default rusted finish, and upgrading its repair level hides the weathered patches that come standard.5862Database Stats6064Grade: T5 · Slot: ARMOR · Wearer: KLIFF · Max Defense: 416266Socket Effects6468SocketEffectFortification II6 DefenseVitality IHealth: +varies every secBlessing of the Earth I10% chance to mine additional minerals6670Refinement Levels6771LevelDefensePrice (Silver)Materials+042,910None+162,9462x Iron Ore+283,0003x Iron Ore+3103,1624x Iron Ore, 2x Copper Ore+4143,4325x Iron Ore, 4x Copper Ore+5186,7206x Iron Ore, 6x Copper Ore, 1x Large Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+62210,2548x Iron Ore, 8x Copper Ore, 3x Large Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+72614,03410x Iron Ore, 10x Copper Ore, 5x Large Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+83018,84915x Iron Ore, 15x Copper Ore, 8x Large Bone, 2x Bismuth Ore, 1x Abyss Artifact+93425,38925x Iron Ore, 20x Copper Ore, 12x Large Bone, 6x Bismuth Ore, 1x Abyss Artifact+104128,2401x Aeserion's Scale, 1x Abyss Artifact72+LevelDefenseRecorded price; units unverifiedMaterials+042,910None+162,9462x Iron Ore+283,0003x Iron Ore+3103,1624x Iron Ore, 2x Copper Ore+4143,4325x Iron Ore, 4x Copper Ore+5186,7206x Iron Ore, 6x Copper Ore, 1x Large Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+62210,2548x Iron Ore, 8x Copper Ore, 3x Large Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+72614,03410x Iron Ore, 10x Copper Ore, 5x Large Bone, 1x Abyss Artifact+83018,84915x Iron Ore, 15x Copper Ore, 8x Large Bone, 2x Bismuth Ore, 1x Abyss Artifact+93425,38925x Iron Ore, 20x Copper Ore, 12x Large Bone, 6x Bismuth Ore, 1x Abyss Artifact+104128,2401x Aeserion's Scale, 1x Abyss Artifact6973Crafted at: Smith.
