All Armor Sets

Overview

Dark Souls All Armor Sets

Info

Armor sets are divided into three categories based on their weight: Light armor (0-19.9), Medium armor (20-39.9) and Heavy armor (40+).

*Light Armor

Antiquated Set

Special magic crown bestowed upon Dusk, Princess of Oolacile, upon her birth. Its wearer is blessed by all manner of magic. This raises the power and effect of the wearer’s magic, but damage suffered by magic attacks also rises.
From the ancient fallen land of Oolacile. Its ivory-colored silk features elaborate embroidery and is imbued with ancient magic power.
One cannot expect any physical protection from this garment, as it was not meant to be worn in battle.

Darkroot Basin. Kill the Golden Crystal Golem in the back of the Darkroot Basin cave , go back to where the corpse was in front of the Hydra, and summon Dusk of Oolacile, then return to where you found the golem.

Big Hat’s Set

Gigantic hat worn by the great sorcerer Logan. It completely hid his face, which led to his nickname “Big Hat.”
Famously antisocial, Logan used this to block out noise and people’s stares so he could focus on his own thoughts, but it does not posses any special magic powers.

Robe, Gloves and Boots are found in a chest in Duke’s Archives after Big Hat Logan has turned hollow. The Hat is dropped from Logan after he turnes hostile.

Black Set

The pardoners listen to the confessions of sinners, urging reflection and salvation. Their masks symbolize separation from worldy desires.
The pardoners’ attire is uniformly black in color and said to be imbued with Velka’s mystical power, which provides resistance against all manner of magic.

Bandit Set

“Worn by the brigands who raid mountain hamlets and attack travelers”
In addition to protecting against the blazing sun, dust, and sand, it helps them tell friend from foe in the heat of battle and the addition of metal over a base of cloth and leather offers good mobility and defense.

Black sorcerer’s Set

Outfit worn by the secret sorcerers at Vinheim Dragon School.
They secretly work with sound-based spells, and never reveal themselves.

Crimson Set

Armor of the sorcerers who flooded New Londo to seal away the Darkwraiths, and the Four Kings who descended into Dark. Mask symbolizes their resolve to keep the seal shut forever and their atonement for all who were sacrificed, but two of the three forsook New Londo upon tiring of their duty. The Sealers were once known as healers, and the bright crimson was a symbol of that.

Found on a Sealer’s corpse in Blighttown/Quelaag’s Domain, above the elevator down to the swamp, across a tree root.

Chester’s Set

Black leather clothing worn by Marvellous Chester, a man of mystery lost in the past.
This exquisitely sewn aristocratic suit allows its wearer to move in silence, lending well to stealth.

Marvelous Chester NPC Drop.

Chain Set

Chainmail apparel made of thin interlinking steel. It is common throughout the human world since it can be easily produced, is not too heavy, and offers good defenses. Knights may favor flashy armor, but for warriors on the battlefield, anything is fine as long as it keeps them alive.

Sold by Undead Merchant or random drop from Chained Prisoner.

Dingy Set

Worn by the Fire Keeper at Firelink Shrine. It is thought to have once been the white armor set of a maiden, but smoke and ashes from bonfires darkened it over the years.

Anastacia of Astora Quest.

Gwyndolin Moonlight Set

Garb of the Dark Sun Gwyndolin, protector of the forsaken city of Anor Londo.
The crown of the gods demands faith immeasurable of its wearer, but it is imbued with Darkmoon power that enhances all magic. The image of the sun manifests Gwyndolin’s deep adoration of the sun. The power of the moon was strong in Gwyndolin, and thus he was raised as a daughter. His magic garb is silk-thin, and hardly provides any physical defense.

Sold by Domhnall of Zena after breaking the Blade of Darkmoon covenant by killing its leader, Dark Sun Gwyndolin.

Gold-Hemmed Black Set

Worn by the witch Quelana of Izalith, mother of pyromancy and Daughter of Chaos.
She wore this gold-hemmed black set before even the Age of Fire,
and it offer strong resistance versus fire, poison, and other perils.

Great Lord Set

Armor of Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, who linked the First Flame.
Lord Gwyn, bearer of the ultimate soul, divided that power among his clan before linking the flame. When he departed, he left only with his greatsword, his garb, and the crown, now bereft of power. He kept his crown perhaps to preserve a symbol of the monarch, for its actual power had fully subsided.

Sold by Domhnall of Zena after entering NG+

Holy Set

Distinctive hat worn only by Way of White priests in Thorolund. It is simply meant to show their position within the hierarchy. It holds almost no meaning in the land of Lordran.

Undead Assassin Drop.

Hollow Warrior Set

Armor worn by Hollow warriors.

Hollow Soldier Set

Undead Soldiers Drop.

Lord’s Blade Ciaran’s Set

Robe of the Lord’s Blade Ciaran, one of Gwyn’s Four Knights.
A robe common to all of the Lord’s Blades. These deadly women shift nimbly between layers of darkness, etching streaks of gold into the night air, and planting visions of terror into the minds of their targets.
The cyclops headpiece is common to all of the Lord’s Blades, but Ciaran was determined to adorn this soft porcelain mask as a unique decoration of honor. The mask is lined with ivory locks of hair.

Lord’s Blade Ciaran Drop.

Maiden Set

Apparel worn by traveling maidens. It is part of their formal attire, regardless of rank .
It is soft and well-made, but does not offer much in the way of defense, making it ill-suited to use in battle.

Pyromancer Set

Worn by the pyromancers of the Great Swamp. Though it appears tattered, it is actually quite strong. Their attire offers substantial protection against poison, fire, and other forces of nature out in the hinterlands where they were driven. Boots made of thick leather. The boots of the pyromancers are incredibly tough, on account of the rugged grasslands and treacherous swamps they must traverse. Their soles are nearly impenetrable.

From the bonfire in Blighttown run straight past the first flying bug slightly to your left out in the distance. Circle around to the left of the pillar then look right; the armor and the spell poison mist are on the body in the coroner.

Painting Guardian Set

Apparel worn by the alabaster-clothed guardians of the paintings in Anor Londo. Offers substantial protection versus magic.
They have guarded the Great Paintings of Ariamis for ages, passing their duty down through the generations, but the reason for doing so passed from all memory long ago.

Lower Undead Burg (near Griggs).

Mask of sinners. They hide their faces, stifle their voices and hide in the shadows. It does not provide much in the way of defense.

Lower Undead Burg: in a room with one of hollow thieves.

Witch’s Set

Armor set of the rogue witch Beatrice. Almost all magic users that employ a wand studied at Dragon School, but Beatrice is one of the few exceptions. She braved the Abyss but did not live to tell of her ordeal.

Very common type of protective gear, they provide a sound level of defense.

Depths, on boss arena.

Xanthous Set

A mysterious item once worn by the Xanthous King Jeremiah, the legendary exile. No one knows where it came from. The crown bears high-quality cloth which is quite soft to the touch, but its bright yellow color stings the eyes, and it is clearly far too big. It may be tattered, but its bright yellow color still stings the eyes.

Found on a corpse sitting on a bench next to the ledge after Priscilla only if you’ve been invaded by him and killed him.

Wanderer Set

Made from sturdy leather. A must-have for long journeys.

Shadow Set

Black cloth clothing worn by spooks from an Eastern land.
Designed so as not to hinder their unique form of martial arts.
While they sacrifice defense for the sake of greater mobility,
they do offer resistance to bleeding and poison among other things, perhaps due to the nature of espionage.

Havel’s Set

Apparel worn by Havel the Rock’s warriors. Carved from solid rock, its tremendous weight is matched only by the defense it provides.

Iron Golem Set

Sold by Domhnall of Zena after defeat of the Iron Golem.

Stone Knight Set

Moss-covered armor of the Stone Knight, defender of the Darkroot Garden.

*Unique Armor

Fang Boar Helm

Fang Boar Drop.

Gargoyle Helm

Helm of the gargoyle, an enchanted creature that guarded the Bell of Awakening in the belfry of the Undead Church. This bronze helm was for mere appearance’s sake, as gargoyle skin is naturally hard. Little in the way of defense can be expected from it.

Gargoyles in Undead Parish and Anor Londo Drop.

Sunlight Maggot

A loathsome parasite that inhabits Lost Izalith. It is completely immobile, yet still lives. When worn on the head, it emanates blinding light, which is why it is known as a Sunlight Maggot.

Symbol of Avarice

Monster head resembling a treasure chest. Once an ancient god, it is said this is the symbol of shame imposed on a long lost clan, exiled for the sin of avarice. Wearing this slightly raises soul absorption and item discovery, but also affects its wearer with the curse of the branded.

Mimic Drop

Sack

Bloodstained patchwork sack by the Undead man-eating cook lurking in the Depths. Two eyeholes have been haphazardly cut out. It is unexpectedly soft and comfortable to wear, but it is probably near meaningless in terms of defense.

The Butcher found in Depths Drop.

Royal Helm
