Key locations involved
The primary site sits on the Hernand Highlands plateau northwest of Bloodhum House in central Hernand, or equivalently at the base of the hill in Pororin Forest east of the highlands.
Nearby landmarks include Reachwood Ruins and Castlewood Ruins for the full set (Duskfang Leather Gloves), but the cloak’s tiny cave stands alone with its smashable wooden barrier concealing the straightforward path to the chest.
How to get the Duskfang Leather Cloak
Follow these detailed steps to claim the cloak without missing a beat.
Step 1
Position at the cave entrance on the Hernand Highlands plateau northwest of Bloodhum House, or hill base in Pororin Forest; the tiny opening hides easily among cliffs.
Step 2
Approach the wooden fence or door obstructing entry; it withstands no more than a single solid hit.
Step 3
Unleash a light attack or heavy attack to shatter the barrier completely—any melee weapon suffices, no fire or special skills required.
Step 4
Step inside the short cave tunnel ; proceed straight forward without turns or climbs.
Step 5
Spot the treasure chest at the tunnel’s end; interact to open and loot the Duskfang Leather Cloak directly.
Step 6
Equip the cloak right away to test its lightning resistance in nearby combats, or store for set completion.
Cloak stats and upgrades
The Duskfang Leather Cloak starts with base defense scaling to 12 and offers Lightning Resistance at level 3, making it ideal against elemental foes in Hernand.
Upgrade at blacksmiths to unlock abyss gear slots for custom enhancements like Gourmet or Ascent.
Pairs seamlessly with the set’s chestpiece, gloves, and boots for full hellhound-themed defense up to 80 combined.
Get the full Duskfang set
Combine the cloak with pieces from Whispering Grotto (armor), Castlewood Ruins (gloves via vine-burning torch puzzle), and Reachwood Ruins (boots via torch gate) for Hemon Beindel’s iconic loadout, topped by the Hound Zweihander from defeating him at Fort Hellwood or Senia. This gear excels in mid-game invasions and abyss runs with its critical rate and vitality perks.
