Skyblazer Armor Set

The Skyblazer Armor Set is a popular alternative armor set in Crimson Desert with a martial-arts-master visual style. Once worn by Balthazar, the Wyvernflame, it evokes the look of a wandering ronin or samurai sage and is one of the most visually striking outfits available in the game. All four pieces are found scattered across the Dewhaven area of the Delesyia region, hidden behind environmental puzzles that almost all require the Focused Force Palm ability. Despite sitting in a late-game zone full of drakes and dragons, every piece is in the open world, so a confident player can sneak in and pick the set up earlier than expected by bypassing the enemies rather than fighting them.

Each piece begins at Refinement 4 and comes pre-socketed with useful Abyss Gear.

Pieces at a Glance

Quick reference for the four pieces of the set. Each piece is linked to its own article with full stats and a step-by-step pickup walkthrough.

Walkthrough Route (Optimal Pickup Order)

If you want to collect the full set in a single pass, follow the loop below. The route is plotted to minimize travel by chaining each piece from the previous one across Dewhaven in Delesyia. Heads up that the initial fort and the sanctum will have hostile enemies; you can bypass all of them as long as you do not aggro the patrols.

1. Start: Fort Wind Ridge Fast Travel Point

Start from the fast travel point just on the other side of the bridge from Fort Wind Ridge. The fort sits on a secluded island in southwestern Dewhaven and is patrolled by drakes; ignore them and keep moving across the bridge into the fort proper.

2. Skyblazer Cloth Cloak (Fort Wind Ridge top tower)

1. Inside the fort, grab onto the wall and start climbing up the central tower (the tallest one in the fort).

2. A few aerial Force Palms while climbing will speed up the ascent significantly.

3. On top of the tower you will see a very suspicious square in the floor. Crouch with L3, then press R3 to fire a Force Palm while crouched. The square rotates and reveals the chest.

4. The chest holds the Skyblazer Cloth Cloak.

5. After looting, crouch + Force Palm the door panel below you to flip back out into the main fort interior. Head back toward the bridge you flew in on to reach the next piece.

3. Skyblazer Cloth Helm (rock crevice west of the fort)

1. Climb up onto the wall on the western edge of the fort. A few aerial Force Palms give you extra height.

2. Use Focused Aerial Roll to dash across to the cliff on the opposite side. If you do not have the skill, you can run across and climb the cliff manually instead.

3. Continue uphill until you find a large rocky crevice with stone pillars holding up boulders. Enter the crevice.

4. On the side of the crevice you will see a sparkling suspicious orb on a rock wall. Use Focused Force Palm on the orb while it is shining to shatter the wall.

5. Walk into the small cave that opens up; the chest at the back holds the Skyblazer Cloth Helm.

The shattered wall also drops Sealed Abyss material that can be used in some Cuckoo crafting recipes later.

Story gate: Focused Force Palm is unlocked in Chapter 4: The Price of Knowledge Walkthrough. If you have not reached it yet, the helm and armor chests are inaccessible (the cloak and gloves are still grabbable without it).

4. Skyblazer Cloth Armor (Sanctum of Devotion)

1. From the helm crevice, use a force jump to leave the area, then fly toward the marker for the Sanctum of Devotion. The sanctums are giant ruins and serve as easy visual landmarks.

2. You can axiom grapple or fly over the surrounding ruins; if you gain enough height you can clear the big lake on the way in a single glide.

3. A Focused Aerial Roll off the top of the previous tower gives the cleanest line straight to the sanctum.

4. You do not need the witch unlocked for the sanctum interior. At the main gate of the central tower, jump straight up the front of the tower toward the top.

5. Stop one floor below the roof. You will see a suspicious wall on the side.

6. Hold L2 to lock on and press R3 to Force Palm the wall, spinning it around.

7. Step through the opening into the small chamber; the chest holds the Skyblazer Cloth Armor.

Of the four pieces, the armor chest is by far the hardest to find unaided. It is wedged inside the central tower with no exterior signage, and most players never spot it during a normal sanctum run.

5. Skyblazer Leather Gloves (Serpent Scale Cave waterfall)

1. From the sanctum tower, gain height with a couple of aerial force jumps. The cave is about 930 m to the southeast.

2. Before flying out, grab the nearby fast travel point if you do not already have it; the sanctum is worth a return trip later for its Cuckoo crafting blueprints, recipes, and the core needed in one of its crafting recipes.

3. Launch into the air and use Focused Aerial Roll to zoom toward the cave marker. Watch for a forested area and a lake along the way.

4. When you reach the forest, drop down and call your horse. Follow the road as it bends toward the cave; the terrain on foot here is friendlier than the elevation change in the air.

5. There is also a fast travel point in this same forest worth picking up on the way.

6. About 200 m before the marker, the road splits and a small waterfall appears with a tiny stone stack at its base. This is the entrance.

7. Stand at the base of the falls and use a Stab attack (R1 + Triangle on PlayStation, hold to charge) to punch through the water curtain. A regular swing will just bounce off.

8. Walk deeper into the cave to find the chest with the Skyblazer Leather Gloves, plus an Alchemy Formula: Refined Palmar Pill that often spawns in waterfall caves.

Set Pieces

The Skyblazer set consists of four confirmed armor pieces. Unlike some sets in the game, the Skyblazer collection mixes cloth and leather materials, giving the complete outfit a layered, battle-worn traveler look. There is no boots slot in this set; even without them the silhouette reads as a complete outfit.

Locations

Every Skyblazer piece is found in the Dewhaven area of the Delesyia region. Most are locked behind breakable walls or rotating mechanisms that require Focused Force Palm to open. Treasure maps can point you toward some of these hidden spots, but they can also be discovered through exploration alone.

Skyblazer Cloth Armor (Chest)

The chest piece is inside the Sanctum of Devotion, in southwestern Dewhaven. Look for the main building and pay attention to a circular emblem on the wall. Climb up to either side of it, then hold the resist button to latch onto the wall. Use Focused Force Palm to spin the wall segment around with you. Once the wall rotates, let go and drop inside the hidden room. The chest containing the Skyblazer Cloth Armor is waiting on the other side. This location is also tied to a treasure map clue, though the map description can be a bit cryptic.

Skyblazer Cloth Helm

Head west from the Sanctum of Devotion toward the Wyvern's Cradle area. Before reaching the first wyvern nest, keep an eye out for a gap in the rock face. Jump across the gorge (or take the path to the left to walk around). Hidden in the rock crevice you will see a sparkling suspicious orb embedded in one of the breakable walls. Shatter it with Focused Force Palm. Behind the wall sits a chest with the Skyblazer Cloth Helm.

Skyblazer Cloth Cloak

Travel to Fort Wind Ridge in Dewhaven and make your way to the top of the largest tower (the central spire). On the roof, there is a suspicious square panel that can be rotated using Force Palm. Crouch on top of the panel with L3, then press R3 to fire a Force Palm while crouched; the panel flips and exposes a hidden chest room directly beneath. Drop in to collect the Skyblazer Cloth Cloak. The interior of the cloak room has a second panel that lets you Force Palm your way back into the fort proper without retracing the climb.

Skyblazer Leather Gloves

The gloves are found in the Serpent Scale Cave waterfall in Dewhaven, roughly 930 m east of the Sanctum of Devotion. Look for the small waterfall with a stone stack at its base; that stone stack is the cue that a hidden cave exits behind the water. Stand near the bottom and use a charged Stab (R1 + Triangle) to push through the water curtain. Without the stab you will just bounce off the falls. Inside, at the end of the passage, you will find a chest with the Skyblazer Leather Gloves. These gloves start at Refinement 4 and come with two Spirit Recovery Abyss Gear sockets, making them particularly valuable for builds that rely heavily on spirit consumption.

Abyss Gears and Refinement

All Skyblazer pieces start at Refinement 4, which is higher than most armor you will find during standard exploration. This makes the set immediately competitive without needing to invest refinement materials right away.

The pre-socketed Abyss Gears vary by piece:

The contribution EXP gear on the helm is especially useful when you are still building reputation with regional factions. Once you have finished those objectives, you can use Special Synthesis at the witch to re-roll the socket into something more combat-focused, such as attack speed or critical rate.

Recommended Builds

The Skyblazer set pairs naturally with the Bringer of Balance, a two-handed weapon found in the Tshop region south of the Forebearers Barons. Both the weapon and the set share a thematic wandering warrior aesthetic, and the Bringer of Balance comes with the Relentless Abyss Gear (damage increases with consecutive attacks), which complements the Skyblazer Leather Gloves' spirit recovery for sustained offense.

For an even more aggressive approach, consider combining the Skyblazer set with the Combat Godsplate Gloves obtained from the Bone Pit quest line in Tomaso. The Godsplate Gloves have built-in lightning affinity and the Showstopper Abyss Gear for area-of-effect damage, giving you a flashy melee option while the rest of the Skyblazer outfit handles defense and spirit sustain.

Players running a bow build can also benefit from the set. The Spirit Recovery gears on the gloves feed directly into abilities like Charge Shot and Focus Shot, while the Stamina Regen on the chest piece keeps you mobile between volleys. Combined with Infinite Arrows Abyss Gear on your bow, the Skyblazer set supports a highly sustainable ranged playstyle.

Style and Fashion

Visually the set leans into a martial-arts-master silhouette: layered cloth, a flowing cloak, and leather wraps across the hands. The helm's long metal crest catches light, the cloak hangs low across the chest, and the gloves' blood-red leather flashes during combat animations. You can dye the set in different colors; the most popular combo is white and blue, which produces a thunder-god aesthetic.

For an extra-thematic loadout, pair the Skyblazer set with the Combat Godsplate Gloves from the Bone Pit mission over in the Tash Kalp region (the arena quest). The Godsplate Gloves carry a lightning visual effect on each strike, leaning the outfit even further into the thunder-god look. The Bone Pit gloves also come with strong Abyss Gear sockets, so the swap is competitive on stats as well as on style.

Tips

Focused Force Palm is required for three of the four pieces. If you have not unlocked this ability yet, you will be unable to access the chest armor, helmet, or cloak. The gloves only require the Stab ability to break through the waterfall entrance.

Several of these locations also contain Abyss Cell No. 0 pickups, which are larger numbered cells used in specific pot-based crafting recipes. Collecting the armor pieces and cells in a single trip through Dewhaven is an efficient use of your time.

While all armor in Crimson Desert reaches roughly the same stat ceiling when fully upgraded, the Skyblazer set's Refinement 4 starting point means you save a significant amount of materials compared to lower-refinement alternatives. If you plan to wear this set long-term, the initial investment you avoid more than justifies the exploration required to find each piece.

Drakes patrol the airspace around Fort Wind Ridge and the Sanctum of Devotion. They are not aggressive on sight, so as long as you stay quiet and keep moving you can walk the route without committing to any combat. Engaging one usually pulls the rest of the local pack, so it pays to glide rather than fly low.
