Major expansion: added How to Obtain (Bloodied Sanctum quest), Storm Fang ability details, and tips

The Goldbranch Plate Crown is an Epic Headgear piece in Crimson Desert. Shaped like spreading branches, it is one of the few helmets in the game that does not require a mask, allowing the wearer's face to remain visible. The crown grants access to the Storm Fang Abyss Gear ability, which calls down chain lightning on enemies.
A crown shaped like spreading branches. Since ancient times, crowns have symbolized the status of those in power. However, wearing a crown does not mean one possesses the leadership to match it.

The Goldbranch Plate Crown comes with the Storm Fang Abyss Gear effect. When triggered, Storm Fang calls down an orb of lightning that strikes the target and chains to nearby enemies, dealing AoE Lightning damage. Attacks imbued with Lightning can trigger Storm Fang at the cost of Spirit. This makes the crown a strong offensive headgear choice for builds that rely on lightning damage and crowd control.
The Goldbranch Plate Crown is one of three rewards from the Bloodied Sanctum quest. This quest becomes available after completing the Legendary Animals quest chain for House Celeste in Hernand. After the Legendary Animals chain, travel to Hillside Manor in the City of Hernand and speak to the guard with the orange collar marker. This opens the remaining quests for the Hernandian Parish of Solumen faction, ultimately leading to the Bloodied Sanctum south of Hernand.
The Bloodied Sanctum involves defeating Sizlek, the leader of the Fundamentalist Goblins. Upon completing the quest, you receive the Goldbranch Plate Crown along with the Greedy Lightningblade and Shadow Gloves.
This is one of the few helmets that does not cover the face with a mask. If you want your character's face to be visible while wearing headgear, the Goldbranch Plate Crown is an excellent option.
The Storm Fang ability makes this crown especially powerful in group combat scenarios where chain lightning can hit multiple targets.
Since Storm Fang consumes Spirit, pair this crown with gear or abilities that boost Spirit regeneration for sustained AoE damage.
Complete the Valortread Armor Set quest first, as it is a prerequisite for unlocking the Bloodied Sanctum quest.
