We recommend sticking to the northwest side of The Barrens and hugging this part of the map. Lead your sled in this direction, and eventually, you will encounter a small ruin in the desert. When you arrive at this location, a handful of Dark Elves will be waiting for you and a Dark Elf Lord you need to fight against. Upon dispatching all these foes, there will be several collectibles and items for you to find, along with a Legendary Chest that contains the Gauntlets of Radiance.

The Gauntlets of Radiance are a level four weapon. They have a passive called Realm Shift I, which activates a Realm Shift when you perform a last-second evade, slowing down the surrounding enemies and allowing you to take them out far more quickly or avoid further attacks.
