Acquisition
You can obtain the Dark Ringleader armor set from 5 separate waterfall caves spread across Hernand.
Dark Ringleader Helmet Location
You can obtain the Dark Ringleader Helmet from Shadowheart Grotto, a waterfall cave north of The Witchwood in western Hernand.
Dark Ringleader Armor Location
You can obtain the Dark Ringleader Cloth Armor from the Blade Cave, a waterfall cave south of Fort Warspike and north of The Witchwoods on the western side of Hernand.
Dark Ringleader Cloak Location
You can obtain the Dark Ringleader Cloak from Echoing Tunnel, a waterfall cave northeast of Fort Perwin and south of The Witchwoods in western Hernand.
Dark Ringleader Gloves Location
You can obtain the Dark Ringleader Leather Gloves from Cloudmist Cave, a waterfall cave northeast from The Witchwoods in central Hernand.
Dark Ringleader Boots Location
There are no named Dark Ringleader Boots, but Walter Lanford, the guy who wears the full set uses the Rhonda Leather Boots and drops them when you defeat him at Fort Warspike during the quest “The Nemesis’ Demise” in Hernand.
In the meantime, the Tesslit Leather Boots are easy to come by and have an identical appearance.
Dane’s Shotgun
You receive the Dane’s Shotgun for defeating Walter Lanford at Fort Warspike during the House Serkis Faction Quest “The Nemesis’ Demise”.
This is the final quest for House Serkis, so you must complete the rest before you can do this one. You must also rescue Vellua from its pirate invasion before Alan Serkis will tell you about this one.
