Overview
Stirrups of the Open Sky are recorded as footwear. Earlier notes mislabeled them as Boss Leather Armor body armor in Crimson Desert. Special boots designed with maximum friction on the soles. These are essential for rock climbing and serve as a lifeline when clinging to thrashing flying creatures. When worn with pairing gloves that enhance grip, they allow the wearer to maintain a perfect stance, unbothered by even the most violent shake.

Climbing function
The Stirrups of the Open Sky provide a climbing function rather than a guaranteed passive grip enhancement that prevents every fall at zero Stamina. Equip them from the footwear Quick Slot, then press Climb while hanging onto a wall to reduce the chance of slipping. The older grappling and flying-creature safety-net interpretation is not a tested guarantee of unlimited grip or Stamina recovery.
The recorded +0 values are 11 Attack, 3 defense, and level 1 Movement Speed. At +10, they reach 28 Attack, 16 Defense and Movement Speed Lv.2; they are not limited to the original low-level stat display. Compare their climbing utility separately from combat refinement.
How to Obtain
The recorded reward appears in the Queen's Nest mission of Queen of the Silkspun Citadel. Earlier notes give a prerequisite of 100 Hernandian Contribution, but the quest record instead explicitly lists +100 Hernandian as a reward; it does not independently establish that older prerequisite. The earlier quest progression advice for Hernand is retained below with that distinction.
Quest Chain
The reward record groups Queen's Nest under Queen of the Silkspun Citadel and lists Stirrups of the Open Sky, Queen's Fangs, an Abyss Artifact and +100 Hernandian. Objectives include defeating the Queen Spider, obtaining the artifact and defeating enemies around Arboria Castle. Sumore at Saddle Black Market is also a named item seller, without a verified first-stock gate. Queen's Fangs has a separate Witch recipe: 1 Destruction I, 1 Insight I, 1 Vitality I and 1 Composure I, after learning Gear Blueprint: Queen's Fangs. The detailed boss timings and the older Contribution unlock sequence are not independently confirmed here.
Earlier unverified prerequisite advice: reach 100 Hernandian Contribution by completing faction quests and helping NPCs in the Hernand region.
The Queen's Nest quest will appear in your quest log.
Follow the quest to Arboria Castle.
Fight the boss: Queen of the Silk Spun, a giant spider boss.
Collect the Stirrups of the Open Sky as your reward.
Boss Fight: Queen of the Silk Spun
The Queen of the Silk Spun is a spider boss at Arboria Castle. Her main threats are:
Exploding spiderlings: She spawns small spiders that rush toward you and explode on contact. Keep moving to avoid being caught by multiple detonations.
Venom spit: A ranged poison attack. When she rears up to spit, use Force Palm to stagger her, interrupting the attack and creating an opening for counterattacks.
Offensive combos: Standard melee swipes that can be dodged or parried.
The key strategy is to use Force Palm when she rears up. This interrupts her venom spit and staggers her, leaving her vulnerable to your own devastating attacks.
Queen's Fangs Abyss Core
In addition to the Stirrups, this quest also rewards the Queen's Fangs Abyss Core. Its direct description says to hold the assigned Skill briefly to spray spider venom forward, dealing damage to enemies hit and consuming additional Stamina. The older fixed-button account for Queen's Fangs described a poison spray on right bumper + Y; match the current assigned Skill rather than treating that preset as universal. The exact damage-over-time behavior against all enemies remains an earlier combat observation.
Tips
Focus on reaching 100 Hernandian Contribution early if you want these stirrups. Complete every available quest in the Hernand region.
Use the footwear Quick Slot and Climb action to reduce slipping. The older dragon-riding and zero-Stamina safety-net interpretation is not established by that explicit function.
The Queen's Fangs Abyss Core pairs well with crowd-control builds that fight groups of enemies.
