Here are the best armor sets available in Elden Ring
While Elden Ring’s flashy weapons and spells tend to get the most attention from players looking to trick out their characters with powerful builds, having a quality set of armor is important too. Aside from making you look cool, a lot of in-game armor also provide your character with several benefits, such as high damage resistance and increased stats.
With that said, it can be difficult to know which armors in Elden Ring are strong and which ones are mediocre or don’t offer any notable advantages. That’s why in this guide, we’re going to go over eight useful Elden Ring armor sets that
you shouldn’t miss, as well as what makes them so good and the locations where you can find them in the Lands Between.
Elden Ring best light armor: Black Knife Set
The best light armor set in Elden Ring is the Black Knife Set. Aside from offering solid protection and being easy for any character to equip due to its low weight, it also allows its wearer to move around in complete silence. This prevents enemies from hearing you if you’re behind them, even if you’re sprinting or rolling, so you don’t need to crouch. This makes sneaking up to your foes for backstabs easier and faster to do.
You can find the Black Knife Set under an archway in Ordina, Liturgical Town in the Consecrated Snowfield region. In order to reach this area, you’ll need to find the Malenia, Blade of Miquella secret boss.
Elden Ring best medium armor: Raging Wolf Set
You can eventually pick up the Raging Wolf Set after killing Vargram the Raging Wolf in a large structure on the west side of Leyndell, Royal Capital, but you need to progress the questline at Volcano Manor first.
Elden Ring best heavy armor: Lionel’s Set
You can find Lionel’s Set in a small bedroom just west of the Lower Capital Church Site of Grace in Leyndell, Royal Capital.
Elden Ring best poise armor: Bull-Goat Set
You can get the Bull-Goat Set by killing Great Horned Tragoth by invading him near the Ruin-Strewn Precipice Overlook Site of Grace to help the Patches NPC. Note that in order for Patches to appear in the Volcano Manor and ask you to kill Tragoth for him, you’ll need to have progressed his questline in Limgrave and in Liurnia and will also have to complete one assassination contract for Lady Tanith in Volcano Manor.
Elden Ring best immunity armor: Mushroom Set
You’ll find the Mushroom Set in the Seethewater Cave in central Mt. Gelmir, located in a large room filled with poisonous flower enemies.
Elden Ring best mage armor: Spellblade Set
To get the Spellblade Set, you’ll need to progress the Sorcerer Rogier NPC questline until he dies (you can also simply kill him, if you want). Rogier can initially be found in the chapel in the northwest section of Stormveil Castle. He will then move to the Roundtable Hold hub area after you kill the Godrick the Grafted boss.
Elden Ring best Dex armor: White Reed Set
You can find the chestplate, gauntlets, and greaves of the White Reed Set within the Spirit Caller’s Cave found next to the giant lake in the Mountaintops of the Giants. The Okina Mask can be found after killing the Bloody Finger Okina invader in the southern portion of the Mountaintops of the Giants, just east of the Church of Repose.
Elden Ring best Faith armor: Haligtree Knight Set
The armor set’s chestplate, gauntlets, and greaves can be obtained by killing Haligtree Knights in the Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree area, while the helmet can be found at the top of a ladder adjacent to the Elphael Inner Wall Site of Grace.
