Venom Blade Grotto is one of 43 waterside caves found throughout Pywel in Crimson Desert. It is located in the Tashkalp region, northeast of Arahaza Cave. The grotto is hidden behind a waterfall and contains the Golden Greed Plate Cloak, one of five pieces in the Golden Greed armor set.

From Arahaza Cave, head northeast. The area around Venom Blade Grotto features two waterfalls in relatively close proximity. The waterfall you want is the one further back (the more eastern of the two), located near iron ore deposits. Watchtowers are visible above the area, which can help with orientation when approaching from different directions.
At the base of the eastern waterfall, look for a stone cairn (a small stack of stones). This is the universal marker for waterside caves throughout Crimson Desert. Any waterfall with stacked stones at its base has a hidden cave behind it. The stone cairn sits on a small platform just in front of the water curtain, confirming the entrance.
Like all waterside caves in Crimson Desert, the entrance requires the Stab ability. Stand on the platform in front of the waterfall and perform a Stab attack (R1+Square on PlayStation, RB+X on Xbox). If executed correctly, Kliff will thrust forward through the wall of water and enter the grotto behind it.
The Stab ability is learned naturally during the main story and can also be acquired from the Blue Skill Tree. If you have not yet unlocked Stab, you will not be able to enter any waterside caves. Note that the correct waterfall is the further back (eastern) one. The closer waterfall does not have a cave behind it.
The interior of Venom Blade Grotto is a compact chamber typical of waterside caves. A treasure chest sits against the back wall, containing the Golden Greed Plate Cloak. This plate cloak provides defensive stats for the back/cloak armor slot and is one of five pieces needed to complete the Golden Greed armor set.
Like most waterside caves, Venom Blade Grotto may also contain a Palmar Pill or Golden Palmar Pill (which fully restores health upon revival) in addition to the main treasure. Check the corners of the cave for any additional pickups before leaving.

The area has two waterfalls. Make sure you target the further back (eastern) waterfall near the iron ore deposits. The closer waterfall does not have a cave entrance.
Look for the stone cairn at the base of the waterfall. This stack of rocks is the reliable indicator that a waterside cave is present.
The watchtowers above the area are visible from a distance and can serve as navigation landmarks when approaching from the west or south.
Iron ore deposits near the entrance make this a good area to gather crafting materials while collecting the armor piece.
To exit the cave, use Stab again or fast travel to a nearby waypoint.
