Revision 1

Overview

Silent Water Grotto is one of 43 waterside caves found throughout Pywel in Crimson Desert. It is located in the Tashkalp region, south-southeast of the Gale of Judgment. The grotto is hidden behind a waterfall near old train tracks and contains the Golden Greed Shield, the final piece of the Golden Greed armor set, along with a Refined Palmar Pill.

Location and How to Reach

From the Gale of Judgment, head south-southeast. The area is characterized by old train tracks and industrial remnants. An old steam train is visible near the tracks, serving as a useful landmark to confirm you are in the right area. The river that flows past Gale of Judgment's waterfall continues downstream, and following it leads to another, larger waterfall where Silent Water Grotto is hidden.

The waterfall at Silent Water Grotto splits into two sections: a bigger half and a smaller half. The cave entrance is located at the bottom of the bigger half of the waterfall. Descend to the base and look for a tiny platform tucked against the rock wall at the edge of the waterfall. A stone cairn (stacked stones) marks the entrance, confirming a waterside cave is present behind the falling water.

Entering the Cave

Position Kliff on the small platform at the base of the larger waterfall. Tuck against the cave wall and face the water curtain. Perform a Stab attack (R1+Square on PlayStation, RB+X on Xbox) to pierce through and enter the grotto.

The platform is quite small, so careful positioning is needed before executing the Stab. If the Stab does not connect with the waterfall, reposition slightly and try again. Make sure you are standing at the bottom of the larger half of the falls and not the smaller section, which does not have a cave behind it.

Interior and Loot

Inside Silent Water Grotto, a treasure chest contains the Golden Greed Shield. This is the fifth and final piece of the Golden Greed armor set, completing the collection when combined with the Helmet, Plate Boots, Plate Cloak, and Plate Gloves found in the other four locations across the Tashkalp region.

The cave also contains a Refined Palmar Pill, the same full-HP-restore consumable found in the Gale of Judgment. Both caves in this waterfall chain reward players with this premium healing item, making the route from Gale of Judgment to Silent Water Grotto particularly rewarding.

Full Golden Greed Set Locations

The Golden Greed armor set consists of five pieces scattered across the Tashkalp region. All five locations are within traveling distance of one another, making it possible to collect the full set in a single exploration run. The Sanctum of Renunciation (Helmet) is a good starting point, with Arahaza Cave (Boots) and Venom Blade Grotto (Cloak) to the northeast, and Gale of Judgment (Gloves) and Silent Water Grotto (Shield) to the southwest.

Tips

• Follow the river downstream from Gale of Judgment to reach Silent Water Grotto. The two locations are connected by the same waterway.

• The old steam train near the tracks is the clearest landmark in this area. If you can see it, the waterfall is nearby.

• The platform at the cave entrance is very small. Take your time positioning before executing the Stab to avoid falling.

• Target the bottom of the bigger half of the waterfall. The smaller half does not have a cave behind it.

• With the Shield collected, the entire Golden Greed set is complete. Equip all five pieces to activate the set bonus and check your equipment screen for the combined stat bonuses.
