If you’re looking for a set with solid lightning resistance and great utility, the Fallen Kingdom Armor Set in Crimson Desert is worth collecting while exploring Hernand. All five pieces are found in the same region, but most of them are hidden inside caves, ruins, or small secret rooms.
You will need the Stab skill for the waterfall caves, while Force Palm is required during the Leather Cloak route inside Icemoor Castle Ruins. The helm may require clearing enemies around the Sanctum of Benediction before you can safely reach it.
All Fallen Kingdom Armor Set Piece Locations in Crimson Desert
The full Fallen Kingdom set includes:
- Plate Gloves
- Plate Boots
- Leather Cloak
- Leather Armor
- Leather Helm
My recommended route is to collect the Plate Gloves and Plate Boots first, then grab the Leather Cloak at Icemoor Castle Ruins, the Leather Armor from Frozen Soul Cave, and the Leather Helm from the Sanctum of Benediction.
Fallen Kingdom Plate Gloves

The Fallen Kingdom Plate Gloves are found inside Starlight Storm Cave in Hernand. Look south between the “N” and “A” letters of Hernand on the map. There is an Abyss Nexus nearby, so use it as a reference point if you have already unlocked fast travel in this area.

The cave entrance is hidden behind a waterfall one level above the Bismuth ore spot. Stand close to the waterfall, use Stab to pierce through it, and enter the cave behind the water.

The chest inside contains the Plate Gloves of the Fallen Kingdom.

The Fallen Kingdom Plate Boots are located in Nightstorm Cave, another waterfall cave in Hernand. You can find it southeast of Icemoor Castle Ruins, or just above the first “N” in Hernand on the world map.

Follow the river until you reach the lowest part of the waterfall. Like the gloves route, you must use Stab to pass through the water and enter the cave.

Open the chest inside to collect the boots. This is one of the easier pieces to grab once you know the correct waterfall.

Fallen Kingdom Leather Cloak

The Fallen Kingdom Leather Cloak is hidden inside Icemoor Castle Ruins, the same general area where you fight Saigord the Staglord. Travel to the ruins north between the “R” and first “N” in Hernand.

From the boss arena area, take the staircase near the blood-marked wall and continue upward. Turn right into the corridor, climb over the boulder at the end, and look for a narrow gap in the wall.

Crouch through the opening, then use Force Palm to break the wooden planks blocking the path. Continue into the hidden room and open the chest to collect the Leather Cloak.

Make sure you check this room properly, as it can also contain the Fallen Kingdom Rapier. However, that weapon is only usable by Damiene.

Fallen Kingdom Leather Armor

The Fallen Kingdom Leather Armor is found in Frozen Soul Cave, southeast of the Sanctum of Benediction. On the map, check the area south of the “ER” in the Hernand label.
The entrance is another waterfall, so you cannot simply walk into the cave. Use Stab to break through the water curtain and move inside.

Once you reach the end of the cave, open the treasure chest to collect the Leather Armor of the Fallen Kingdom.
This piece is useful because it gives lightning resistance and multiple Abyss Gear bonuses, making it one of the better parts of the set for general exploration.
Fallen Kingdom Leather Armor Stats
| Attribute | Base Value |
| Defense | 7 |
| Refinement | 2 |
| Effect | Lightning Resistance Lv 1 |
| Abyss Gears | Fortune 1, Vigor 1, Surge 1 |
Fallen Kingdom Leather Helm

The Fallen Kingdom Leather Helm is located at the Sanctum of Benediction, southwest of Icemoor Castle Ruins and near the “E” in Hernand on the map. Depending on your progress, the area may have enemies from the Antumbra Order, so clear them first before looking for the secret room.

Inside the sanctum, head toward the upper level with the large mechanism. Look for a closed door near a stairway and find the unlit lantern beside it.

Light it up to open the hidden doorway, go inside and loot the chest to pick up the Leather Helm.

This is a good final piece to collect because it completes the Fallen Kingdom Armor Set in Crimson Desert and gives a +35% Turning Slash damage bonus through its Abyss Gear effect.

FAQs
Is the Fallen Kingdom armor set worth using?
Yes, it is worth collecting if you want lightning resistance and a Staglord-style armor set. The Leather Armor and Helm stand out the most from the entire collection because they provide extra Abyss Gear effects along with their base stats.

The Stab skill is mandatory for a few of these items like the gloves, boots, and leather armor are hidden behind waterfalls. You have to pierce through the water with this ability to reach the cave entrances.
