Overview
Odeck's Protector Plate Boots are a Footwear piece in Crimson Desert. These heavy plate boots deliver strong balanced stats with 16 ATK and 5 DEF, tying for the highest defense value on any footwear alongside the Carta Plate Boots. They feature Movement Speed Lv.1, Damage Reduction 1.0, and a Movement Speed +1 bonus from their Abyss Core slots, making them excellent for tanky builds that still need to reposition quickly.

How to Obtain
The exact acquisition method for Odeck's Protector Plate Boots has not been fully documented across sources. They may be obtained through quest rewards, boss drops, or specific vendor purchases in later areas of the game. Players should check equipment vendors and quest reward screens as they progress through the mid-to-late game.
Damage Reduction
The Damage Reduction 1.0 effect reduces incoming damage by a flat 1.0 per hit. This stacks with Defense stat damage mitigation and any other flat reduction effects from Armor pieces and Abyss Cores. Against enemies that land many small hits quickly, Damage Reduction is more valuable than a slightly higher Defense stat. This makes Odeck's Protector Plate Boots particularly effective against swarm-type enemies and bosses with multi-hit combos.
Notes
With 5 DEF and Damage Reduction 1.0, these are the most defensive footwear in the game when considering total incoming damage mitigation.
The 16 ATK matches Carta Plate Boots and Hungering Fang Leather Boots, so offensive power is not sacrificed for the defensive bonuses.
Movement Speed Lv.1 plus the bonus Movement Speed +1 gives strong mobility, unusual for such a tanky piece of footwear.
Ideal for tank-oriented builds that pair with heavy Body Armor and Shields.
The "Odeck" in the name likely refers to a notable protector or guardian figure within the game's lore.
Odeck's Protector Set Acquisition Guide
The Odeck's Protector Plate set is split across five hidden pickups scattered around the world, with no blueprint or crafting involved. Each piece is retrieved directly from a cache, so the armor is effectively a cosmetic trophy once every location has been cleared. Most of the pieces can be collected at any point in the campaign, but the helm is locked behind a chapter 9 quest and cannot be grabbed early.
Set pieces and their unlock methods:
Helm: gated behind the chapter 9 quest The Veiled Witch, which lifts a curse at the helm's location. Focus Force Palm opens the rock cache.
Chest Armor: retrieved from a hidden hole that must be broken open with Focus Force Palm. Two nearby holes look similar, so target the correct one.
Gloves: unlocked by smashing one of the colorful rocks at its map marker with Focus Force Palm.
Cloak: looted from a cache in Pelu. The area is patrolled by black bears that stay hostile even after Pelu has been reclaimed, and aggro will block the pickup prompt.
Boots: hidden in a chest at a sanctum location. The sanctum does not need to be cleared; the chest can be looted directly.
All five pieces share the same silver finish by default, so the ingredients for a matching look are stored together once the full set is equipped. The pieces accept dyes, which allows for custom color schemes without changing the model.
Pickup Location
The boots are tucked inside a sanctum, stored in a hidden chest. The sanctum's main objective does not have to be completed: simply entering the area and routing directly to the chest is enough to claim the boots. This makes them the fastest piece of the set to collect for anyone who already has Focus Force Palm unlocked.
