TL;DR
- The Autumn Banquet set belongs to Damiane and has 5 pieces — all found in hidden treasure chests
- None of the pieces are quest rewards or sold in shops — you have to explore for each one
- All locations are in or around the Demeniss region in the north of the map
- You can collect the pieces in any order
- You need specific skills to access some chests — a fire attack for the Plate Helm, and a Stab for the Leather Boots waterfall
The Autumn Banquet armor set is one of the most stylish outfits in Crimson Desert. Dark base tones, golden embroidery, and layered fabric give it a refined, aristocratic look that stands out from the more combat-heavy gear elsewhere in the game. It is made for Damiane and every single piece is tucked away in a hidden treasure chest somewhere in or near the Demeniss region.
There are five pieces in total: the Cloth Cloak, Leather Boots, Plate Helm, Leather Armor, and Leather Gloves. None of them drop from enemies or come from shops. You have to find them in the open world. This guide tells you exactly where each one is and how to get inside.

Autumn Banquet Armor Set Overview
The full Autumn Banquet set consists of these five pieces:
- Autumn Banquet Cloth Cloak
- Autumn Banquet Leather Boots
- Autumn Banquet Plate Helm
- Autumn Banquet Leather Armor
- Autumn Banquet Leather Gloves
All five are hidden in treasure chests across the Demeniss region and its northern surroundings. You can collect them in any order, so feel free to plan a route that suits where you are on the map.
Piece 1: Autumn Banquet Cloth Cloak — Church of West Demeniss
The Cloth Cloak is inside the Church of West Demeniss. On your map, look for the small church icon located just above the word “Demeniss,” southeast of the Kingshield Mountains.
Do not go through the front doors. Instead, climb up the outside of the church and get onto the rooftop. Once you are up there, look to your left. You will spot a wall with a secret door that has been disguised as part of the structure. Push it open to reveal a hidden room inside. The Autumn Banquet Cloth Cloak is in the chest waiting inside.
Piece 2: Autumn Banquet Leather Boots — Crescent Lake Waterfall
The Leather Boots are hidden in the far north of Demeniss at Crescent Lake, directly west of the Spire of Soaring near the Denn River.
Head to the waterfall in the area and approach it. You cannot simply walk through the water — you need to use your Stab attack while facing the waterfall to slip through it. Take the path on the left side of the waterfall until you see a pile of rocks and the cave entrance reveals itself. Push through with the Stab and follow the cave to the end. The chest with the Autumn Banquet Leather Boots is there, along with a Refined Palmar Pill.
Note: there are multiple waterfall caves in this area. If the first one you check is empty, try the neighboring waterfall nearby.
Piece 3: Autumn Banquet Plate Helm — West of Kingshield Mountains
The Plate Helm is hidden just west of the Kingshield Mountains. Look for a dirt path heading north in the area. Follow it to the end and you will find a sunken pit filled with broken pillars and tree roots.
Drop down into the pit. You will see vines growing over the chest, blocking it. Use a fire-based attack — a fire arrow, your Blinding Flash skill, or any other flame ability — to burn the vines away. Once the vines are cleared, the chest behind them is fully accessible. Open it to claim the Autumn Banquet Plate Helm.

Piece 4: Autumn Banquet Leather Armor — Sanctum of Mortification
The Leather Armor is found inside the Sanctum of Mortification in Demeniss. Head inside the sanctum and move past the glowing blue lights to the opposite side of the room. You will find a closed gate with two small lamps flanking it on either side.
Light both lamps to unlock the gate. Once the gate opens, go through and open the chest inside to get the Autumn Banquet Leather Armor.
This lamp-lighting mechanic appears in several sanctums across Crimson Desert. Whenever you see a locked gate in a dungeon or sanctum, always check for unlit torches or lamps nearby — the same principle applies. For more sanctum guides, see our Sanctum of Mortification walkthrough.
Piece 5: Autumn Banquet Leather Gloves — Breezeblown Knoll Cave
The Leather Gloves are the trickiest piece to spot. Head to Breezeblown Knoll, which is in the extreme north of the map northeast of the Golden Plains, near the edge of a river.
Find the small wooden bridge in the area. Stand on the bridge and face east. Drop down from the bridge to water level and scan the rock face on the south side of the bridge. There is a small cave-like gap between the rocks that is very easy to miss because it blends right into the rocky riverbank. Crouch and squeeze through the gap to enter the cave. Follow the path all the way inside until you reach the chest containing the Autumn Banquet Leather Gloves.
Tips for Collecting the Full Set
You can collect in any order. The five pieces are completely independent of each other. No sequence is required. Start with whichever chest is closest to where you are exploring.
Bring a fire ability for the Plate Helm. The vines blocking the chest in the Kingshield Mountains ruins will not budge without a fire attack. Make sure you have Blinding Flash or a fire arrow ready before heading there. Read our guide on how to use Blinding Flash if you need help with that skill.
Use Stab to get through waterfalls. The Leather Boots chest is behind a waterfall. Your character will be knocked back if you just try to walk through. Switch to combat stance and use the Stab attack to slip through the water without getting pushed away.
The cave at Breezeblown Knoll is easy to walk past. It blends into the terrain at water level. If you are on the bridge and cannot see anything, drop down and look at the rock face from below. The opening is there, it just takes a second look.
Waterfalls hide chests all over Pywel. The Leather Boots chest is not the only one tucked behind running water. If you ever spot a waterfall while exploring, try using a Stab or Pierce attack on it — there is a good chance a cave is hidden behind it.
What the Autumn Banquet Set Looks Like
The full Autumn Banquet set gives Damiane a noble, aristocratic appearance. It uses dark base tones layered with golden embroidery across every slot. The overall silhouette is flowing and refined rather than heavy and armored.
It is one of the more visually distinctive sets in the game, particularly if you prefer a character who looks like they belong at court rather than on the battlefield. The Cloth Cloak is the centerpiece of the look and gives the set its flowing, elegant shape.
If you want to customize the appearance further, check out our guide on how to dye armor, weapons, and horse gear so you can tweak the colors to your liking. You can also hide your helmet if you prefer to show off the rest of the set without headgear covering the look.
