Acquisition
You can obtain the Cursed Soul set from different locations across Demeniss, mostly treasure chests inside waterfall caves.
Cursed Soul Helmet Location
You can loot the Plate Helm of Cursed Soul from Windrift Cave, a waterfall cave south of Thornbriar Fortress a little bit inland from the coast on the Steel Mountains in the southwest corner of Demeniss.
Cursed Soul Chestpiece Location
You can loot the Plate Cloak of Cursed Soul from a treasure chest underneath a headstone at the cemetery between the Abandoned Ruins and Anvil Hill on the border between Demeniss and Hernand.
Use Force Palm or equivalent to push the headstone back and lift up the lid, revealing a compartment you can drop into.
Cursed Soul Cloak Location
You can loot the Plate Cloak of Cursed Soul from a treasure chest behind a trapdoor wall at the Demenissian Ruins on the border between Hernand and Demeniss, east of Anvil Hill.
To get inside, Cling to the wall, hold Resist, then use Force Palm to spin around with it.
Cursed Soul Gloves Location
You can loot the Plate Gloves of Cursed Soul from Anvil Hill Gust Cave on the border between Hernand and Demeniss, south of Reventine Monastery.
You’ll need to use Focused Force Palm or equivalent, which you unlock during Chapter IV: The Price of Knowledge, to get rid of Bismuth blocking the way inside.
Cursed Soul Boots Location
You can loot the Plate Boots of Cursed Soul from a treasure chest at Shadowwolf Cave, a waterfall cave at the fork in the Lower Nas River near the border between Demeniss and Hernand.
Cursed Soul Sword and Spirit’s Judgment Location
You receive the Shackle of Might for defeating Fortain, the Cursed Knight, at Thornbriar Fortress as part of the Demeniss Bound segment of Chapter VIII: Blood Coronation. The Spirit’s Judgment Abyss Gear comes presocketed into the Shackle of Might.
Cursed Soul Shield Location
You can loot the Shield of Sacrifice, Fortain’s shield, from a cave southeast of the Abandoned Seaside Cabin on the coast of the Steel Mountains in Demeniss.
Golden Vanguard Location
Fortain, the Cursed Knight, does not use a two-handed weapon, relying on Spirit’s Judgment, Shackle of Might, and his Shield of Sacrifice in his attempt to defeat you.
However, the Golden Vanguard wielded by Gregor, the Halberd of Carnage, matches this set quite well and we can’t get Gregor’s snazzy Luon Plate armor set (yet, @pearlabyss!!!).
You receive the Golden Vanguard for defeating Gregor, the Halberd of Carnage, at Fort Ironclad during the Ashen Steps segment of Chapter VIII: Blood Coronation.
Cursed Soul Bow Location
There is no Bow of Cursed Soul, though the Crimson Warden’s Bow from the Crimson Chaser’s set is a compelling option.
