Overview
The Plate Gloves of the Shadows are a Gloves piece in Crimson Desert. They are part of the Shadows equipment set, a collection of high-tier plate armor scattered across hidden locations in the Everfrost region and Hoenmark Ruins. These gloves come with 2 built-in Abyss Core sockets, making them highly customizable for different builds. They can be refined up to 10 levels at the blacksmith to further increase their stats.
Stats
Stat | Value |
|---|---|
Type | Plate Gloves |
Abyss Core Slots | 2 |
Refinement | 10 levels |
The two built-in Abyss Core sockets allow players to customize these gloves with powerful modifiers. With full refinement and the right Abyss Cores socketed, the Plate Gloves of the Shadows become one of the strongest glove options available.
How to Obtain
The Plate Gloves of the Shadows are found inside Everfrost Cave, a pure ice cave hidden in the mountainside within the Everfrost region of Hernand. The cave is located in the far eastern part of Hernand.
To reach the cave, follow the river that runs underneath the word "Hernand" on the map, then take a left turn up the rocky mountains. Look for an entrance built into the mountainside wall. The path to the cave skirts close to the edge of the playable area, so you may see boundary warnings as you approach.
Once inside Everfrost Cave, the environment is entirely covered in ice. Your character may slip on the icy surfaces, so move carefully. The gloves are inside a treasure chest deeper within the cave. No combat is required to pick them up; simply open the chest.
Getting out of the cave may require some careful jumping due to the slippery ice floor. Take your time navigating the icy terrain on the way back.

Tips
The cave entrance is easy to miss. Keep an eye on the mountainside wall as you climb up from the river. If you receive a boundary warning, you are in the right general area.
No enemies guard the chest, so this is a completely free pickup. You can grab these gloves as soon as you can reach the Everfrost area.
The icy floor inside the cave causes your character to slide. Avoid sprinting and take turns slowly to prevent slipping off ledges.
Consider picking up these gloves on the same trip as the other Shadows pieces in the Everfrost area, since the Plate Boots of the Shadows and Plate Armor of the Shadows are all located nearby.
