Dark Marksman’s Armor Set Guide: Find All 4 Pieces in Pywel
The Dark Marksman’s Armor Set is a rare, four-piece collection that’s scattered across the eastern side of Pywel. Tracking every component down takes some serious exploring, but if you follow the route below, you’ll know exactly where to go and what to expect. Here’s a clear walkthrough of each piece and how to reach it.
Checklists
The Dark Marksman’s Armor Set includes four pieces. They’re spread out across Pywel’s eastern region, and completing the full set means reaching multiple far-flung areas. Use the list below to keep track as you hunt.
Dark Marksman’s Armor Set Locations
Most of the Dark Marksman’s pieces are tucked away in the far edges of Deleysia and Demeniss, hidden in chests and concealed passages that reward careful navigation.
- Dark Marksman’s Plate Armor
- Dark Marksman’s Plate Cloak
- Dark Marksman’s Plate Gloves
- Dark Marksman’s Plate Boots
Dark Marksman’s Plate Armor
The Dark Marksman’s Plate Armor is located inside a secret alcove on the southeast wall of Fort Musket. While the game’s main story won’t send you there until the end, you can still obtain the armor earlier by using a carefully timed climb and landing maneuver.
Start by standing on the tower directly across the road from the entrance. Use Aeriel Force Palm (▢/X → R3/RS) three times to gain enough lift. Then perform an Aerial Roll (◯/B) two times to build momentum, and trigger Focus (L3/LS + R3/RS) right before you reach the opening. With accurate positioning, you should be able to land squarely in the alcove. From there, crouch to move through the doorway ahead, and the treasure chest will be waiting inside.
Dark Marksman’s Plate Cloak
The Dark Marksman’s Plate Cloak is found in Warrior’s Soul Cave at the northern tip of Deleysia. To reach it, stab (R1/RB + △/Y) through the right side of the waterfall to enter—just next to a prominent rock cairn used as a landmark.
Dark Marksman’s Plate Gloves
The Dark Marksman’s Plate Gloves are stored in a treasure chest inside the Forgotten Watchtower. You can get in one of two ways: use a key on the front door, or enter through the ceiling. Once you’re inside, crouch and use Force Palm on the spinning ceiling panel to drop down into the tower.
Dark Marksman’s Plate Boots
The treasure chest containing the Dark Marksman’s Plate Boots sits beneath the Forgotten Watchtower. Head down a set of stairs located just south of the tower itself, then use Force Palm on the wall marked by a large stone square to propel yourself into the room. The chest is inside that space.
