This guide will show you what the Helfryn Leather set (Gabriel Caliburn’s outfit) looks like, what unique benefits it provides, and how to get it in Crimson Desert!
Appearance
The Helfryn set is obtainable by all players in Crimson Desert and features a luxurious, thick, leather and fur cloak on top of an embroidered leather trenchcoat with matching gloves and boots. There’s an unusable pistol holstered across the chest as well.
This is Duke Gabriel Caliburn’s outfit, one of the main antagonists who you encounter in Chapter VIII: Blood Coronation, during the Demeniss Bound questline.
Stats
The Helfryn Leather set consists of 8 pieces, 7 of which are upgradeable. It is wearable solely by Kliff. As Leather Armor, it features moderate Defense, should have Tier I Lightning Resistance, and a little bit of extra Critical Rate on unarmed attacks.
For some reason, the Cloak is not upgradeable and offers Ice Resistance Lv 5 instead of the standard Lightning Resistance Lv 3 given to Leather Cloaks, preventing it from having Tier I Lightning Resistance.

Acquisition
You can obtain the Helfryn set from different, ultra-hidden locations across Demeniss.
Helfryn Chestpiece Location
You can loot the Helfryn Chestpiece from a chest in a hidden room up in the bell tower in City of Demeniss.
Climb the tower on the southwest side. Below the protruding slab near the top, there is a narrow wall you can push inward to access the hidden room with the treasure chest.
Helfryn Leather Cloak Location
You can find the Healfryn Leather Cloak in a treasure chest in the attic of a two-story house near the north city wall of the City of Demeniss. Open the window and climb through.
You can access the house itself from many entry points. It is a normal house, like many others. And it’s empty, so if you feel like it, you can play a thief and loot some of the items inside.
But the attic where the treasure chest is, is only accessible through the window on the south facade of the house.
Helfryn Leather Gloves Location
You can loot the Helfryn Leather Gloves from a treasure chest in a hidden room up in one of the towers on the north city wall of the City of Demeniss.
There is a rotating wall segment up near the top of the tower, on its south side. Climb to it, use Resist and Force Palm to push and rotate it to access the hidden room.
Helfryn Leather Boots Location
You can loot the Helfryn Leather Boots from a chest in a secret room in a broken part of the southeastern wall of the city of Demeniss.
Use Force Palm to break the wooden fence and enter inside the small chamber to loot the treasure chest.
Gabriel Caliburn Sword Location
You can obtain Righteous Verdict in a secret underground chamber in the very bottom of the map, in Nightfell Expedition Camp.
When you get past the narrow tunnel and arrive at the waterfall, take the left side and cross the gap using the improvised bridge out of two logs. Go behind the waterfall.
You will enter the Demeniss Ancestors’ Ruins. Keep moving forward through the two large doors (they’ll open automatically). You will see the sword at the end of the corridor. Pull it out of the stone and it’s yours.
The sword has a unique name, but its lore text confirms that this sword used to belong to Gabriel Caliburn, the wearer of the Helfryn Leather set.
Helfryn Necklace Location
You can craft the Helfryn Necklace with Accessories of the World, Vol. II, or you can get it as a random drop from Jewelry Boxes, commonly found in Noble’s homes and at banks.
Caliburn’s Mercy Pistol Location
You can grab Caliburn’s Mercy Pistol off a table in the bedroom at the top of Fort Musket in the northeast corner of Demeniss. It might not be there until Chapter XII.
It is only usable by Damiane, unlike the rest of the set that only Kliff can wear.
Twisted Verdict and Caliburn’s Plate Armor Location
You can’t get Corrupted Caliburn’s Plate Armor, but you can get the corrupted version of his sword, the Twisted Verdict, which you receive for defeating Corrupted Caliburn in the Abyss during Chapter XII: The Abyss.
You may also want to change out the Helfryn Necklace for Eternal Darkness, but that’s technically Goyen’s Necklace. They likely depict the same Umbral corruption.
