How to Get the Dark Marksman's Plate Armor

To get the Dark Marksman's Plate Armor, you'll need to head to Fort Musket in Demeniss. This is northeast of Demeniss City and northwest of the Spire of Clockwork.

Once you've reached Fort Musket, head to the southern part of the area. You'll know you're in the right area if you see a hole leading inside. Approach the area from the right and beware of soldiers guarding the fort - they become hostile when they see you, and you will get sniped.

If you do get sniped, you can use a Palmar Pill to revive and you'll be able to still enter the hole. After entering the hole in Fort Musket, crouch to pass through a secret door. As you follow the path, you'll be led to a Treasure Chest housing the Dark Marksman's Plate Armor.
