How to Get Death Knight Armor

In a Hidden Cavern in the Waterfall Cave

Death Knight

You can get the Death Knight Armor in a hidden cavern inside the Waterfall Cave in the Emerald Stair Region. You must push your way through the Steel Garrote Soldiers (dialogue or combat) guarding the door to make it into the first room.

After that, go to the left side to the water and dive down. Keep swimming and follow the blue ray of light to get to the hidden cavern and see the chest containing the Death Knight Armor.

Waterfall Cave Location

How to Get to the Waterfall Cave and the Hidden Cavern

# Walkthrough
1
Waterfall Cave Entrance
The entrance to the Waterfall Cave is on the right of the waterfall. Go inside and look for its actual entrance.
2
Talk to the Steel Garrote Soldiers
Get close to the Steel Garrote Soldiers once inside and they will talk to you automatically. You must either kill them or convince them to let you inside.
3
Open the Door
Open the door to the first room using the Steel Garrote Key (or 3 Lockpicks) from the Steel Garrote Soldiers. You might need to fight the other soldiers behind that door depending on how you've settled your way in.
4
Water inside the First Room
Go to the left side from the entrance and head directly into the water. You should see a small gap in the center and jump down there.
5
Follow the Light
Swim down then go straight until you see a blue light shining through the water. Follow that light to get to the hidden cavern where the Death Knight Armor is located. You should be able to loot it from the large chest sitting at the corner.
