Overview
The Golden Greed Plate Cloak is a Cloak in Crimson Desert and one of five components of the Golden Greed Set. It is a plate cloak found inside the Venom Blade Grotto, a hidden waterfall cave located further northeast of the Sanctum of Renunciation in the Tashkalp region.
Like the other pieces in the Golden Greed set, the cloak can be upgraded through the Refinement system. Acquiring it requires players to recognize environmental clues, specifically a stone cairn that marks the entrance to the hidden cave behind a waterfall.

The Golden Greed Plate Cloak provides plate-tier defensive stats that improve with each refinement level. Cloaks occupy one of the five Armor slots and contribute to overall defense alongside headgear, body armor, gloves, and footwear.
How to Obtain
The Golden Greed Plate Cloak is located inside Venom Blade Grotto, a cave hidden behind the eastern waterfall in the area further northeast of the Sanctum of Renunciation. The cave is near a cluster of iron ore deposits, which can serve as a landmark when searching for the entrance.
Finding the Entrance
Look for a stone cairn (a small pile of stacked rocks) near the waterfall. This cairn is placed outside the cave as an environmental clue that there is something hidden behind the water. Stone cairns throughout Crimson Desert often indicate nearby secrets, so spotting one near a waterfall is a reliable sign that a hidden cave lies behind it.
Step-by-Step
Travel northeast from the Sanctum of Renunciation toward the area with iron ore deposits and the eastern waterfall.
Locate the stone cairn near the waterfall. This marks the hidden entrance.
Stand at the edge of the waterfall and use the Stab skill (R1 + Triangle on PlayStation) to propel Kliff through the waterfall and into the cave beyond.
Inside the Venom Blade Grotto, find and open the treasure chest to obtain the Golden Greed Plate Cloak.
The Stab skill is available by default and does not require any special unlocks. Players simply need to position themselves correctly at the waterfall's edge and execute the stab to pass through.
Part of the Golden Greed Set
The Golden Greed set is a five-piece plate Armor collection found across the Tashkalp region:
Piece | Slot | Location |
|---|---|---|
Sanctum of Renunciation (light both torches) | ||
Arahaza Cave (Focused Force Palm on orb) | ||
Cloak | Venom Blade Grotto (behind eastern waterfall) | |
Castle ruins southeast of Venom Blade Grotto (hidden wall) | ||
Gale of Judgment cave (stab through waterfall) |
Notes
The stone cairn outside Venom Blade Grotto is easy to miss if players are not actively searching for environmental clues. When exploring near waterfalls, always check for cairns, glowing objects, or other indicators of hidden entrances.
The nearby iron ore deposits make this a convenient stop for players who are also gathering Mining materials.
As a plate cloak, refinement requires ores. The cloak can be upgraded at any blacksmith in the game world.
Cloaks in Crimson Desert contribute defensive stats and sometimes special effects. Check the cloak's Abyss Core slots for additional customization options.
