Let's start with the Frostcursed Plate Helm, which can be found inside the Chattering Rocks in Demeniss. This can be found in the northern part of the region (above the "D" in Demeniss when you check the map).

When you reach Chattering Rocks, you'll spot a wall covered in green vines. Burn down the vines with Blinding Flash. Inside is a room with a Treasure Chest, which contains the Helm.

The Frostcursed Plate Armor is found inside the Misthard Cave, which is located in the Smoking Lands. This is in the far north area of Demeniss. Once you're in the Smoking Lands, you'll need to make the trek up Deadfire Mountain until you find a waterfall.

Once you're in front of the waterfall, use Stab to go through it. Your path will be blocked by a rock, but don't worry - you can use Turning Slash to break the rock. Venture deeper, and you'll find the Treasure Chest with the Armor.

When at the Sanctum of Expiation, you'll come across the south ruins. As you face this area, you'll find a door with vines covering it. Again, use Blinding Flash to burn the vines, which will reveal a hole you can enter through. You'll need to crouch to fit through the hole.

Once you enter, take a right, then another right, and you'll find the Cloak inside a Treasure Chest.
