When you are adventuring or fighting in Elden Ring DLC, obtaining equipment with different functions in different ways is obviously one of the fun of the process. In order to significantly improve the combat power and effectively ensure the combat experience, the armor pieces/sets scattered on the map are indispensable.
On the one hand, these armors have special meanings and values in the game, and on the other hand, they can help you improve your defense when facing the enemy. Perhaps you can also find the special effects of some armors on specific levels, making your gaming experience smoother and more immersive!
Different armors play different roles. Next, we will introduce you to ten representative classic armors based on the characteristics and strength of some armors.
1. Divine Beast Head
This armor appears in Belurat Tower. It belongs to the type of helmet, which can provide players with 4 points of strength and dexterity in combat, and can bring Damage Storm Skills.
However, if you wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Although it has many benefits, it also has some negative effects. For example, it will reduce the effect of Flask of Sacred Tear and your Focus. In addition, in order to obtain it, you must face the challenge from Divine Beast Dancing Lion.
2. Royal Remains Set
As an armor set, the biggest advantage of Royal Remains Set is that it provides you with continuous healing. Without it, you may need to spend a considerable number of Elden Ring Runes to get health potions to get similar benefits.
Royal Remains Set is located in Roundtable Hold. It looks like a piece of broken metal. But after you get it, you can get a special wearing effect, erasing your original lively features, making you look like an undead skeleton.
3. Twinsage Glintstone Crown
Twinsage Glintstone Crown is located in Lucaria Academy. The benefit is that it can increase your intellect by 6 points. But at the same time, it will also reduce your maximum HP and stamina by 9% respectively. The primary beneficiaries of Twinsage Glintstone Crown are mage, and the benefits seem to be more attractive to them.
It is worth mentioning that Twinsage Glintstone Crown is a headdress in appearance. After wearing this crown, your game character looks like two gigantic stone heads connected at the ears. It is said that the head shape comes from scholars who study Glintstone Sorceries.
4. Mushroom Crown
Mushroom Crown is a helmet-type armor, so when worn, it will make the player look like mushrooms growing from the top of his head. In terms of function, if you prefer to use poison or want to use scarlet rot on the enemy, Mushroom Crown is obviously your best choice.
However, using scarlet rot or poison after wearing Mushroom Crown will affect both the enemy and the player himself. It increases the damage of all damaged objects by 10% and lasts for about 20 seconds. So this helmet is a double-edged sword worth taking risks for. If you want to get it, you can go to Lake of Rot in the game.
5. Black Knife
To be a powerful and outstanding assassin in the game, you must hide your tracks as effectively as possible. Therefore, Black Knife, which can help you to lighten your footsteps and approach the enemy more quietly, becomes the best choice.
As an armor set, Black Knife appears in Location Ordina in Liturgical Town. It is decorated with unique Pearlescent Scales and a translucent cloak. The overall appearance is exactly the same as the armor worn by Black Knife Assassins in the game in Night of Black Knives. If you like Black Knife Assassins, you can’t miss Black Knife.
6. Rakshasa Set
As a mysterious armor set exuding a demonic and bloody atmosphere, Rakshasa Set not only plays a powerful role but also echoes the dark world view of the game. It can also be found in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
Rakshasa Set appears in Eastern Nameless Mausoleum. After wearing it, you can get an 8% overall damage bonus, but you will also receive 8% backlash damage from it. It can be said that there are risks and benefits, so you need to use it carefully.
7. High Priest Hat
This helm appears in Cathedral of Manus Metyr and can only be obtained by completing Count Ymir quest. It can increase your intellect and arcane stats by one point each. Although the increase is not much, getting High Priest Hat is completely free, which is a good thing for any player with a small Elden Ring Runes budget.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the average benefits and it can be obtained for free that it is easily overlooked by most players when playing the game. However, it still provides some help for the arcane mage in Elden Ring DLC. At the same time, it is also one of the few free dual-attribute improvement items.
8. Silver Tear Mask
This helm is located in Eternal City of Nokron. Its value in improving attributes is comparable to that of Divine Beast Head. Can help you create powerful arcane builds.
In terms of appearance, Silver Tear Mask can show your face tears made of the same liquid metal that are quite popular among players. In terms of specific functions, it will increase your arcane by 8 points while reducing your physical damage output.
9. Imp Heads
You can find Imp Heads in any Catacombs or Dungeons in the game. When you defeat the Imp Statues in various Dungeons, they will drop helmets with different functions. Each Imp will drop after being defeated. However, the drop rate of Imp Heads is usually only 0.5%
As a helmet, it can randomly increase your strength, intellect, dexterity and other attributes by two points. It has to be said that it is also a good equipment.
10. Guardian Garb (Full Bloom)
Guardian Garb is a chest armor that can be obtained in Leyndell Royal Capital. It is usually worn by enemy defenders in Minor Erdtree and is designed for players. In terms of appearance, there are flowers blooming behind it, which is elegant, mysterious and extremely attractive. The specific design concept draws on the design ideas of Erdtree that players can use.
In terms of gains, after equipping Guardian Garb (Full Bloom), you can get a certain amount of treatment from Flasks of Crimson Tears. At the same time, Guardian Garb (Full Bloom) increases the healing effect of Flask of Sacred Tears by 10%. It can also provide you with additional treatment when you are in combat.
However, this powerful armor also has its disadvantages. It will reduce your overall fire resistance in the game. Although this disadvantage is not very noticeable, you still need to carefully consider the true cost-effectiveness of Guardian Garb when you encounter a more intense battle.
The above are ten more popular armors in Elden Ring DLC. They have different appearances and functions, but there is no doubt that they can bring you a fun gaming experience.
