Frostcursed Plate Armor: Locations and Requirements
All five components are concentrated in Northern Demeniss. Many are hidden behind environmental puzzles or waterfalls that require the “Stab” skill to penetrate. Use the following table for a quick overview of the requirements for each piece.
| Armor Piece | Location | Key Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Frostcursed Plate Cloak | Sanctum of Expiation | Blinding Flash (to burn roots) |
| Frostcursed Plate Helm | Chattering Rocks | Blinding Flash (to burn vines) |
| Frostcursed Plate Gloves | Lunar Spirit Grotto | Stab Skill (waterfall entry) |
| Frostcursed Plate Boots | Well of Tragedy Grotto | Stab Skill (waterfall entry) |
| Frostcursed Plate Armor | Mistshard Cave | Stab Skill & Force Palm |
1. Frostcursed Plate Cloak
Your journey begins at the Sanctum of Expiation in North Demeniss. Located on a hill east of Drakesfall Gorge, these ruins are heavily guarded. After clearing the area, locate the central courtyard where the floor has collapsed. Follow the stairs down to a passage blocked by red-spiked roots. Use Blinding Flash to incinerate the barrier. Navigate the passage, dodge the spike trap to your right, and claim your cloak from the chest.
2. Frostcursed Plate Helm
Travel east to the Chattering Rocks. This location features ruined structures encircling a central pool. Look for a stone window with a ladder to its left. In the shadowy corner of the building, you will find a doorway obscured by thick vines. Burn these away with Blinding Flash to reveal the chest containing the Helm, which grants essential daze immunity for high-level combat.
3. Frostcursed Plate Gloves
Continue further east toward the Lunar Spirit Grotto, situated at the river mouth leading to Tariv. This piece introduces the “Stab” mechanic common to this set. At the base of the waterfall, look for a small stone cairn. Perform the “Stab” skill (Hold Shift + Release LMB on PC, or RB + Release Y on Controller) to pass through the water curtain and retrieve the gloves.
4. Frostcursed Plate Boots
From the Grotto, head northeast along the river until you reach another waterfall known as the Well of Tragedy Grotto. As before, look for the cairn at the base and use the Stab skill to breach the waterfall. These boots are particularly useful for those focusing on exploration, as they provide boosts to both climbing speed and XP gain.
5. Frostcursed Plate Armor (Chest Piece)
The final component is found in Mistshard Cave, located directly north across the land from the Well of Tragedy. This final secret is also tucked behind a waterfall marked by a cairn. After using the Stab skill to enter, you will encounter a large rock obstruction. Use Force Palm to shatter the boulder, granting access to the final chest. Completing this set allows you to master the frozen wilds with the presence of a legendary Nazgûl or Lich King.
