Steel Horseshoes is a horse accessory in Crimson Desert that can be found inside a treasure chest. It’s tucked away in a small room behind a false wall beneath the bridge linking the Gorthak region to Demeniss. Here’s a step-by-step guide to tracking it down.

After you pick up the Steel Horseshoes, equip them through the inventory menu: open the horse tab in the upper-left corner and select the item. As the name implies, only horses can wear them; other mounts can’t.
Important: if you sell a horse that has gear equipped, everything—including the Steel Horseshoes—goes with it. Strip anything you want to keep before closing the deal.
How Good Are the Steel Horseshoes in Crimson Desert?
| Attack | +5 |
|---|---|
| Special Effect | Stamina: +4 per second |
Steel Horseshoes boost your horse’s base attack by +5, a noticeable bump that lets your steed pack a real punch in combat. While you rarely rely on your mount for fighting in regular gameplay, the bonus shines in trials that require horseback battles or defeating enemies while riding.
The real prize, though, is the unique effect: +4 stamina recovery every second. When you’re galloping, that extra regen extends the time you can stay at full speed. When the horse is standing still, stamina refills almost instantly, practically eliminating downtime between sprint bursts.
