Cleanrot Armor

Cleanrot Armor - Elden Ring Best Armor
The Cleanrot Armor in its full glory

An Interesting Read: Elden Ring Best Ranged Weapons

The Cleanrot armor is one of the most beautiful and gorgeous sets in the game that makes sure you can tank up some heavy damage but with heavy damage also comes its apparent heaviness that makes sure to slow you down considerably so make sure to beware that this armor set will surely slow down your agility and maneuverability when it comes to battling against agile foes but if you manage to get some hits in, you’ll still be in a good position.

Location

You can find the armor in the inner sections of the swamps over at Caelid which is a pretty easy journey if you ask us. You’d want to teleport into the inner part of that area to make sure you drop off nearby. You’ll have to farm three knights consistently to make sure the armor drops eventually. You want to head southwest over in grace where you’ll find the first knight. In the same vicinity, proceed a bit further and you’ll find another island-esque area and that’s where the second knight will spawn.

Proceed to take him down as well. Go behind the area and that’s where you’ll find the third knight spawn. If you don’t get the drop instantly, don’t be discouraged as spawns don’t happen that fast in Elden Ring. You’ll have to teleport back and start again and it will take you about a good 45 minutes before you get the armor set. But it’s totally worth it as the Cleanrot armor is indeed pretty clean and gorgeous and makes the most of your experience in Elden Ring.

Now, this particular armor set has some pretty neat stats, to begin with, which will make your journey in the lands between all the easier. The armor set provides you with the immunity of 150, the robustness of 150, and vitality, poise, and focus which averages around 60.

The hefty amount of robustness makes sure that you can tank up some great damage without falling to your demise, which is a pretty normal thing to happen in Elden Ring. These stats are pretty good and paired with the clean look of the armor make it one of the best armor sets.

The Twinned Armor depicts the entwined twins of gold and silver. It beefs up your defense and resistance substantially making you less vulnerable to enemies. The armor also changes up your overall look as well making you look like a holy figure. You might have seen this Armor set somewhere before, think hard. And you’d be right if you said D Hunter over at the Roundtable.

Location

You can fight D Hunter and acquire the armor piece if you’re that greedy but we wouldn’t recommend that as it might mess up the questline of the game. You can go the other route by progressing with the main story of the game. First of all, you have to finish the three main bosses in the game and after you’ve accomplished that, proceed to head back to the Roundtable.

Then proceed to talk to Fia who is sitting on a bed in one of the side rooms. She will proceed to hug you creepily a couple of times talking about a dagger which she will eventually hand over to you after she exhausts her dialogue. Now, head over to D, Hunter, and show him the dagger and you’ll strike up a conversation with him in regards to the dagger.

After that, what you want to do is teleport yourself back to the Roundtable and this time you’ll find a new area that’s opened up in the back of the Roundtable, and in this case, you’ll find D Hunter pretty much dead with Fia right beside him. You can basically loot the poor lad and gain his armor set and that’s pretty much it.

Make sure you follow the questline and do your best to stay up to date with whatever he has to teach you because there are some pretty interesting things in there.

The armor set features some of the best stats and it looks pretty striking with that said, it also boosts your vitality a lot in contrast to all the other armor available on this list. It provides you with an immunity of 38, a robustness of 60, a focus of 24, and a whopping vitality of 60. It also boosts your poise points by 21.

Carian Knight

The Royal Knight Armor features a more paladin-like look. It has a shield with it and does its best to make you look like a knight in shining armor for the most part. You have to head over to the library pretty much all the time to get this armor set.

It also features the third main boss fight in the game and it’s easily accessible and pretty easy for the most part in that region of the game. You’ll reach a cathedral but you won’t be stopping there as you move onto a graveyard-like area and from then onwards, you’ll want to cross the bridge ahead.

Location

You’ll want to move on to the next section of the region where you’ll come across a gap. Now, go down the gap and traverse the area and ignore all the enemies in the vicinity. You’ll find some loot right next to a statue so don’t be shy, no one using it. Pick it up for yourself.

And that’s pretty much it, you get the Full Carrion Knight Armor Set without having to fight or do anything. Just beware of the enemies that start chasing you down. Fight them to the death or run for your life. That’s your choice.

The Carian Knight is an amazing set of armor that boosts your immunity by 66. It offers you a robustness of around 110 and a focus of 50. It enhances your vitality by 55 and offers a Poise of 26. It’s a pretty good armor to pick up early on and will definitely boost your damage and defense against enemies in the Elden Ring’s world. It also features an incredible damage negation of around 25 overall and also provides protection against magical, holy, light, and fire effects.

Raptors Black Feather Outfit

Raptor Black Feather Armor Set
Blaidd wearing the Raptor Black Feather Armor Set

The Raptors Black Feather Outfit is hands down, one of the best armor sets with its dark and gritty overall look. If you have a thing for dark and gothic outfits, then this armor set is just the thing you’d be looking for, and worry not, we’ll get into the details of where you can find this armor set.

Location

To get this armor set, you need to make sure to proceed forward up north and continue working towards some mines. There, you’ll be faced with multiple enemies which you could ignore if you’re in a hurry to get to the armor set. You can ignore the boss fight as well which is pretty much optional in our hunt for the Raptors Black Feather Armor Set. You need to make your way into a place known by the name of the Sage’s Cave.

From that side of grace, head up to a river bed that you’ll come across until you reach the larger side of the lake. Keep yourself to the right side of the map and proceed in that direction till you find a gap between the map and the trees. Now, you’ll make your way into the cave which houses a great number of annoying enemies and there are also multiple hidden walls that have probably been conveniently marked by previous players.

You’ll make your way into the caves and come across 2 chests and one chest hidden behind a wall that consists of Talon weapons which are pretty useful for their melee damage. Make your way forward and you’ll come across a waterfall with a small passage next to it and there you’ll come across a room that features two chests that consist of the raptor’s black armor pieces.

The Raptors Talons are pretty amazing when it comes down to doing bleed damage throughout the game. The weapon also features a special ability that you can use to dash or dodge while performing the ability so to speak.

Royal Remains Armor Set – Spookiest Elden Ring Armor

Royal Remains Armor Set
The Royal Remains Armor Set

The Royal Remains Armor Set features an armor set that gives you the appearance of the undead and it looks pretty awesome in our opinion but to get it, you have to pretty much go through the rounds, and it’s kinda worth it for this armor set. But first of all, you have to make sure that you’ve defeated Godrick and then make your way into the Village of Albinoris. Then, you should find a landmark with a bunch of crosses from which you can find bodies hanging them.

Location

You’ll have to make your way to the top and then proceed to the left side at the top of the hill and maybe also encounter a really annoying enemy if you’re unlucky. What you’ll want to do is interact with a pot and out pops an NPC that you’ll want to talk to. If you talk to them, you get a shiny medallion piece.

In case this character doesn’t spawn in this region, you’ll want to proceed to complete a few invasion quests so head on to Murkwater cave and complete a few invasion quests before you make your way to the Village of Albinoris. You should also complete the invasion near the Smoldering Church to make sure that you gain access to the NPC over at Albinoris.

You’ll also have to deal with a character spawning back at Roundtable where a character will keep spawning towards the back of the Roundtable. You gotta beat the crap out of this character and in theory, you’ll get access to the character who will hand over the medallion to you. Once, this is done, you have to head back to the Roundtable and again, you get invaded the fourth time.

So proceed to defeat the enemy and you’ll be met with a surprise. You should spawn into the area once again and after that, you should go back to where the invasion character previously spawned, and when you do that, you’ll find the full armor set waiting for you to equip it.

The armor has this gritty undead aesthetic look which changes up things in the Elden Ring World. Although the armor is indeed on the heavier side, it is indeed worth checking out.

Malformed Dragon Armor Set

Now, this armor set is pretty beautiful with its overall golden and royal aesthetic, and to get it is pretty straightforward as it features you to deal with a single boss fight.

Location

Head on over to Farum Azula where you’ll have to make your way up a bridge and next to it, you’ll come across a tornado minding its own business. As you make your way up the included bridge, you’ll come across a Malformed Dragon Knight with his trusty steed. Make sure to wipe him and there you go, you pretty much get the Malformed Dragon Armor set to drop from the knight.

But think twice before equipping this armor set as it’s on the heavier side of things. The armor set pretty much limits your ability to maneuver around and thus, you should know how to handle yourself while wearing this armor set.

The Armor set makes you able to tank up some great amounts of damage as you can easily soak up damage dealt with you by enemies but it greatly limits your agility and you won’t be able to dodge lots of attacks or get a hold of enemies that are too fast for you unless you accurately time your moves.

The armor set features multiple images of various dragons and is worn by the misshapen Tree Sentinels. It’s stated in the lore that after the great ancient dragon Gransax attacked, the sentinels had an epiphany and they found that the only way to truly become the sole protectors of Erdtrtee was to become dragons themselves.

Overall, we think this is another excellent set that deserves to be included in our Best armor guide.

Drake-Knight Armor

Drake Knight Armor Elden Ring Best Armor
An Elden Ring Player wearing the Drake-Knight Armor

The Drake-Knight Armor is without a doubt an excellent armor set but it all comes down to your class. If you don’t polish up on your exploring, you might not be able to come across it on your first try and you will need to progress miles into the game and have played mandatory story missions to proceed to the Crumbling Farum Azula. It’s a really striking Elden Ring Armor

Location

The Drake-Knight Armor is hidden in a chest tucked away in the Crumbling Farum Azula. To get this far, you need to make sure that you’ve defeated the Godskin Duo and then head on over to the Site of Grace. When you get to the area with birds trying to get a bite out of you, you’ll be greeted by an elevator lift with no switch in sight.

If you try to make the jump down below, you’ll die in an instant. If you make your way to the ledge of the building with the ladder, you can get to the bottom instead of encountering the dragon. Proceed the other way and jump down and go to the side of the building. In a treasure chest, you’ll find a chest with the Drake-Knight Armor. This set will include Armor, Helm, Gauntlets, and Greaves too.

If you’ve already completed tons of side quests, you might have already gotten your heads on better armor in Elden Ring. In case you have the Twin Armor Set or Scaled Armor Set, you might be better off with those and if not, this should certainly beef up your defenses as you make your way into tougher parts of the game.

The Armor has a weight of around 25.3 putting it on the heavier side. It has a damage negation of around 28.5 with resistance to magic, fire, light, and holy effects like most of the armor sets in this guide. It has immunity of 66, the robustness of 75, the focus of 43, vitality of 43, and poise of 40. It’s a pretty well-balanced armor set and makes sure you enjoy your journey in the Elden Ring’s world.

Radahn’s Lion Armor

General Radahn's Armor Elden Ring Best Armor
General Radahn in His Full Glory

Radahn’s Lion Armor is easily one of the best Armor pieces in the game as it has the best defensive and offensive attributes that an armor piece can possess. We would recommend this armor piece for its stylish looks and its ability to fend off enemies.

The Radahn’s Lion Armor is part of the General Radahn Set and is one of the heaviest but also one of the most powerful armor sets in the game. It offers high levels of defense and resistance to physical and magical attacks.

The Golden Lion is stated to symbolize Godfrey, the Elden Lord, and his beast regent, Sarosh. Even in his younger years, Radahn was naturally captivated by the Lords of the Battlefield. The armor offers 143 Immunity, a whopping 235 Robustness, and a Focus of 100. It also serves a vitality of 91 and a poise of 60. The Radahn Armor is certainly one of the nicer and better Elden Ring Armors.

Location

To acquire this piece of beautiful armor, you need to first defeat Radahn which we know is a really hard boss battle to do, but trust us, it’s worth it as you’ll get one of the best armor pieces in the game. Head on South East over to Radahn’s Castle and proceed to enter the castle where Radahn lays. Proceed to defeat Radahn and you’ll get a hold of Radahns rune.

Once you’ve acquired the Rune, head on over to the Roundtable Hold and go over to Finger Reader Enia, the old hag with the staff. Now, you can acquire Radahns armor for around 12000 Runes. That’s a lot but it’s pretty much worth it. You can now also acquire Radahn’s helmet as well and now you look like a real lord in the Elden Ring World and the Lands Between.

Small Fry is a piece of cake to kill with this and boss battles become considerably easier as well. So, congratulations, now you got the Radahn Armor Set. The Radahn armor set looks pretty incredible with the horns protruding and the thick red mane at the back.

Dung Eater Armor

The Dungeater Armor Set
The Dung Eater Amor set is the heaviest Armor Set in the Elden Ring Universe

The Dung Eater Armor is perhaps the heaviest armor within the game but it is known to have the best all-round damage negation and resistance to holy, magic, light, and fire attacks.

The Dung Eater is one of the characters who was getting hung in the opening cutscene of the game. At the time where you’re making your way into The Capital City Leyndell, the Dung Eater will appear before you as a red phantom within the Roundtable Hold in the room next to the Twin Maiden Husks.

He’ll ignore you for the duration until you acquire the Seedbed Curse the mirrored location in the Roundtable Hold located within the city.

It is located towards the end of a road next to the Erdtree Avatar. After you’re done getting the Seedbed Curse, make your way back to him and there, he’ll hand you a key to the Leyndell sewers. To gain access, you should proceed down the stairs from the Avenue Balcony grace and should jump over a wall located to the left, and then climb down a well that you find.

You should proceed through the Shunning-Ground until you come across the Dung Heater who you’ll find locked up inside of a cell. You can reach him by going past some big plants and up the ladder in contrast to down the pipes.

If you fight him to the death and win, you’ll get his armor set and also his sword but mark our words, as he’s not an easy character to defeat as he fights pretty aggressively and his screaming skill makes things even worse as it heavily decreases your damage negation.
