Leather Cloak of the Fallen Kingdom

Overview

The Leather Cloak of the Fallen Kingdom is a Cloak in Crimson Desert. It is part of the Fallen Kingdom equipment set, a collection of gear tied to the legacy of Saigord, the Staglord, the king of a forgotten kingdom. The other pieces in the set include the Leather Helm of the Fallen Kingdom, the Leather Armor of the Fallen Kingdom, the Plate Gloves of the Fallen Kingdom, and the Plate Boots of the Fallen Kingdom.

This cloak is found in a hidden room at Icemore Castle Ruins, the same location where the Staglord boss fight takes place. It comes at refinement level one and provides Lightning Resistance Lv.3, making it one of the strongest lightning-resistant cloaks available in the early game. With a distinctly barbarian king style aesthetic, the cloak fits the rugged, battle-worn theme of the Fallen Kingdom set.

Stats

The cloak drops at refinement level one, meaning it can be upgraded a further nine times at a blacksmith. The Refinement System increases the cloak's Defense stat with each level, though the Lightning Resistance Lv.3 remains fixed regardless of refinement. Upgrades from level one through four require only standard materials, but pushing to level five and beyond requires Abyss Artifacts, which are considerably rarer.

In-Game Description

"A leather cloak once worn by Saigord, the Staglord, king of a forgotten kingdom. Icemoor has fallen into ruin, but the great stag still is a symbol of strength and duty."

Appearance

The Leather Cloak of the Fallen Kingdom has a heavy, barbarian king style aesthetic that sets it apart from other early-game cloaks. It features thick, weathered leather panels with fur-lined edges and decorative metal clasps that evoke the regal but rugged nature of Saigord's fallen court. The design suggests a ruler who led from the front lines rather than the safety of a throne room, fitting the lore of the Staglord as a warrior-king. When equipped, it gives Kliff a notably heavier silhouette compared to lighter cloth cloaks.

How to Obtain

The Leather Cloak of the Fallen Kingdom is found inside a hidden room at Icemore Castle Ruins, located in the western part of the Hernand region. The ruins are the same location where the Staglord boss encounter takes place, and the cloak can be collected during normal exploration of the area. No combat or quest prerequisite is needed to reach the hidden room, so it is possible to pick up the cloak before or after the boss fight.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Enter Icemore Castle Ruins. Travel to the ruins in western Hernand. If you have already completed the Lord Amidst the Ruins faction quest, you can return freely.

2. Run through to the back of the ruins. From the main entrance, push through the interior of the castle heading toward the far side.

3. Follow the stairs upward. Locate the staircase leading to the upper levels. Climb the stairs until you reach the top floor.

4. Climb over the obstacle. At the top of the stairs you will encounter a low obstacle. Climb or vault over it to continue deeper into the ruins.

5. Find the hole in the wall. After passing the obstacle, look for a small opening (a crouching-height passage) in the wall. This is easy to miss if you are not actively searching.

6. Crouch or slide into the passage. Duck into the hole. Your character will crouch or slide through the narrow gap to reach the other side.

7. Break the wooden panel. On the other side of the passage you will find a section of wall blocked by wooden planks. Attack the planks to break through.

8. Enter the hidden room and open the chest. Behind the wooden panel is a small, dark hidden room. The treasure chest containing the Leather Cloak of the Fallen Kingdom is sitting inside this room. Use your lantern to light the area if needed.

The Fallen Kingdom's Sword is also located in this same hidden room, leaning against a barrel near the chest. Be sure to grab it as well, since both items can be collected in a single trip.

Nearby Loot

Icemore Castle Ruins contains several other valuable pickups beyond the cloak. Exploring the ruins thoroughly is worthwhile, as environmental storytelling details and additional treasure are scattered throughout the area.

Fallen Kingdom Set

The Fallen Kingdom set consists of five armor pieces scattered across the Hernand region and its surroundings. Each piece is found in a different location, often behind hidden passages, inside caves, or within sanctums. Collecting all five pieces requires visiting multiple areas and solving environmental puzzles or discovering secret entrances.

Unlike some RPG armor systems, the Fallen Kingdom set does not provide a traditional set bonus when all pieces are equipped. However, when the set is upgraded to Abyss Gear status, it gains modifiers including +10.0% Silver gain, +2% Stamina regeneration, and +2.0% Swimming speed. The set is considered one of the best early armor options in the game because every piece can be obtained for free through exploration alone, with no combat or purchase requirements.

Combat Tips

• At 1 Defense, the Leather Cloak of the Fallen Kingdom offers modest physical protection. Its primary value lies in its Lightning Resistance Lv.3, which is the highest lightning resistance available from the cloak slot among early-game options. This makes it especially useful against enemies and bosses that deal lightning-based damage.

• When paired with the Leather Helm of the Fallen Kingdom (which provides Lightning Resistance Lv.1), the two pieces together offer strong stacking elemental coverage against lightning attacks. This combination can be the difference between survival and defeat in fights with lightning-heavy enemies.

• Because the cloak is obtainable early through exploration alone, it is a solid defensive option while building toward a complete Fallen Kingdom loadout. There are no combat prerequisites, so even a low-level character can pick it up.

• For fights where Ice Resistance or Fire Resistance is more important than lightning protection, consider swapping to a different cloak. Only one cloak can be equipped at a time, so keeping several in your inventory for situational use is recommended.

• If you plan to fight the Staglord at Icemore Castle Ruins, note that the boss fight takes place in the same location. You can grab the cloak either before or after the encounter. However, the Staglord fight benefits more from Ice Resistance than Lightning Resistance, since Icemore is a frozen area. Equip food that provides Ice Resistance (at least Lv.5) to help with the cold temperatures during that fight.

Lore

The cloak once belonged to Saigord, better known as the Staglord, the king of a forgotten kingdom centered around Icemore Castle. The in-game description emphasizes that while Icemoor has fallen into ruin, the great stag still is a symbol of strength and duty. This echoes the broader Fallen Kingdom narrative woven throughout the equipment set: each piece was worn by Saigord himself, and their deliberate scattering across the Hernand region suggests the kingdom's collapse was not a sudden event but a gradual dissolution, with Saigord's personal effects ending up in ruins, sanctums, and hidden caves.

Players who explore the Icemore Castle Ruins will find environmental storytelling details that flesh out the Staglord's backstory. The cloak's location in a hidden, sealed-off room within the ruins implies it was deliberately stashed away, perhaps by a loyal retainer or by Saigord himself as a last act before his kingdom fell.

Trivia

• The hidden room containing the cloak also holds the Fallen Kingdom's Sword, making it one of the most rewarding secret rooms in the early game.

• Among the 28 cloaks in Crimson Desert, only a handful provide Lightning Resistance Lv.3. The Leather Cloak of the Fallen Kingdom is notable for being available very early compared to other high-resistance cloaks.

• The entrance to the hidden room is blocked by breakable wooden planks, a visual cue used throughout Crimson Desert to signal destructible barriers hiding secret areas.

• Despite its "Leather" classification, the cloak's visual design is heavier and more ornate than most leather cloaks. This reflects its royal origins.
