About this armor
Weighs 1.7 and provides 3 poise.
Raises Vigor by one while worn. The extra maximum HP depends on your current Vigor; this is an attribute point, not a fixed number of HP.
Only the hood gives this bonus. Navy Hood gives one Mind instead, and wearing the rest of the Noble clothing does not add either attribute.

In-game description
A hooded cloak of vivid crimson.
Worn by expatriated royalty.
Increases vigor.
Such cloaks were gifted to those who departed on journeys without specific orders, to faraway lands from which they would never return. In other words, the gift of a cloak made it easier for undesirables to be on their way.
Roderika never once saw the guidance of grace.
Where to find
Chrysalids' body pile in Stormveil
Limgrave
Starting Site of Grace: Rampart Tower
- Speak to Roderika at Stormhill Shack and finish her dialogue. To move her to Roundtable Hold, bring her Chrysalids' Memento from Stormveil, or progress to Liurnia and rest at a grace there.
- At Roundtable Hold, speak to Roderika and ask Hewg about her. Return to her with his answer, speak to Hewg again about watching over her, then rest and finish their dialogue until Spirit Tuning is available.
- Return to Stormveil after she becomes a spirit tuner. Reach Rampart Tower through the cliffside entrance after Margit, or use the grace if it is already unlocked.
- Leave along the rampart with the barrel-carrying hawks, follow it to the chapel roof and descend into the chapel where Rogier first appears.
- Leave the chapel, pass the patrolling knight and follow the connecting rooms toward the large hall containing the Grafted Scion.
- Search the adjoining body-filled courtyard for the dogs and the corpse pile beneath the hanging remains. Clear the dogs before collecting the item from the pile.
- Once Roderika is a spirit tuner, this pickup is Crimson Hood. Before that quest state it is Chrysalids' Memento. Simply moving her to Roundtable Hold is not the final step.
- Godrick does not need to be defeated if you advance Roderika through her earlier quest or the Liurnia route. The Scion is separate from the hood pickup.
Notes
- Weighs 1.7 and provides 3 poise.
- Raises Vigor by one while worn. The extra maximum HP depends on your current Vigor; this is an attribute point, not a fixed number of HP.
- Only the hood gives this bonus. Navy Hood gives one Mind instead, and wearing the rest of the Noble clothing does not add either attribute.
- The hood appears at Stormveil's body pile after Roderika becomes a spirit tuner. It is not a random drop from her, and you do not need to attack her.
- Navy Hood and the other three Noble pieces are found together in Altus. Crimson Hood is the separate Stormveil pickup, and neither hood can be changed into the other through tailoring.
