Banished Knight Set | Elden Ring Wiki

just killed like +++100 (not even kidding) to get the armor and got like 5-10 of all other pieces

Submit

One of these blew his pathetic little fire breath at me and I bit that mf's head off with Dragonmaw.

Submit

Banished Knight Helm (Altered) + Banished Knight Armor + Veteran’s Gauntlets/Greaves = Peak Elden Bling

Submit

Can you guys recommend me some alternate gauntlets and greaves for this set. I only like the unaltered helm and armor.

Submit

Altered chest is ugly, normal one is my favorite along with iconic raging wolf armor. I love this.

Submit

the based set

Submit

I don't know what it is about this armor but it looks really off to me. I get that it's supposed to be a real armor style but... Yeah I don't know. And no it's not the bulge

Submit

Farmed the banished knight at the dragon communion. Took about 40 minutes. I got:

41k runes
1 Armor (altered)
3 Helm
2 gauntlets
2 greaves
3 shields

Submit

I farmed the set at Stormveil Castle and I only get 56 poise, any idea why this might be?

Submit

lapp 2.0

Submit

Good stats for the way it looks. Most armor sets usually go one way or another.

Submit

Buff the poise of this one and other 41,6 set to 77, so more set can reach 102 with tallisman and we don't need to see veteran all day.

Submit

One of my favourite sets, but it would have been even better if they allowed us alter the altered helm even further by removing the hair it has.

Submit

when farming the castle rooftop knight, you can shoot through the holes in the wall to minimize farming time

Submit

So farming this set at the cathedral of dragon communion,

I got 82,000 runes,
4 swords
4 shields
1 helm
3 altered armor
5 gauntlets
4 pants.

112 discovery and about 4 hours

They hoarding capes at castle sol this some bs

Blackflame Monk Greaves have a similar color to this armor's metal, in case you don't want to be stuck with the duck feet.

Submit

I think the most infuriating thing about the dual wield knights, is the way they continue to spam their stupid combos after they’ve 2 shot you.

Farming the unaltered chest piece as been pure RNG as to wether they actually stagger or not.

Submit

Nevermind, I found a better way. From the Castle Sol Rooftop Grace head just outside the entrance to the stairs. Snipe the banished knight to the west, he will teleport directly to you.

Submit

To find one of the banished knights that drops the UNALTERED armor: start at the church of the eclipse in castle sol. Exit the door, turn right and go up the short ladder. Follow the path until you get to the wood bridge, he will be just past it with the two white wolves. I would recommend wearing the black knife armor chest piece so you run right past the first knight without having to sneak. Also grab a bow so that you can trigger only the knight (otherwise its a gangbang with two wolves thrown in). That's the easiest way I have found.

Submit

where do you find the unaltered armor?

Submit

Dumb that you can not unalter it.

Submit

They should have 2 picture sets. Altered and unaltered. Pic shown above altered but weight is unaltered. It’s misleading. Also the above PHY damage negation is wrong.

Submit

CASUL knight of DS3 reference.

Submit

I gotta have that codpiece.

Submit

Reminds me Fallen Knight Set from DS3

Submit

Can anyone confirm if there is a red caped version of the armor? And where to farm it? Been searching for a while now. Cant find anything if it exists or not.

Submit

OK, here to make a long comment because there's a lot of confusion going on regarding this Banished Knight Set here.

There are two copies of the Banished Knight Helm and Banished Knight Armor. One each of the gauntlets and graves.

The Banished Knight Helm has a red hood and scarf long enough to be a cape. This drops from Banished Knights wearing it in Stormveil Castle, outside the Church of Dragon Communion and the Dragon Temble area in Crumbling Farum Azula.

The Banished Knight Helm (Altered) has a dragon ornament on top and no hood or scarf; it drops from Banished Knights in Castle Stormveil and the Spectral Banished Knights in Castle Sol.

Boc CANNOT alter the helms between states, nor can he alter the armors.

The Banished Knight Armor has a dark blue tabard and cape and only drops from the two Spectral Banished Knights wearing it in Castle Sol. I was never even able to find the second with two swords, so I only ever saw the one with the halberd near two wolves nearby the Eclipse Site of Grace. Do not confuse this one with the one with two swords immediately outside that Site of Grace. That Spectral Banished Knight WILL NOT drop the Banished Knight Armor.

He will however drop the Banished Knight Armor (Altered). Nearly ever single Banished Knight and Spectral Banished Knight will drop it. Only two won't.

Submit

This set gives 35% physical damage reduction which is already high enough. And it looks cool.

Submit

An easier way to farm the unaltered top in Castle Sol is face West from the Castle Sol Rooftop grace, and use a bow to shoot him through the slits in the wall, saves time running back to the grace.

Submit

Farming at the Ramparts Tower you can running jump of the edge to a nearby roof then drop down behind the knight. Run takes less than a minute if you can one hit him.

Submit

There is another knight at castle Sol that wears this with a Halbred, he’s the one next to the Direwolves if you go out the opposite direction from the grace and up onto the ramparts, he’s hard to miss as he’s the only one next to the two white Direwolves.

Submit

Best armor set? Most weapons like katanas/str8 sword do 50-55 poise damage so 60 is all you need. Just keep count whenever your hit and know the next hit you won’t be able to poise through. Most weapon arts will reset your poise if this is anything like dark souls

Submit

I killed the the red-eyed Knight in Castle Sol while farming the Chest and managed to get two Longswords, the Helm, the Gauntlets and the Greaves on the first try. Took me about 50 more to get the chestpiece, but at least now I know that Enemies can drop ALL of their Loot at once.

Submit

For farming unaltered chest piece on castle sol dual sword knight, try stunlocking with flaming strike AoW. L2 once he warps when first approached and it almost always catch him staggered as he reappears, then the AoW followup R2, L2, R2, repeat until it's dead. I reliably did it with halberd during my time farming it so idk if it works with lighter weapons too tho.

Submit

looks cool except for that horn on the shoulder

Submit

I have remained purposefully very ignorant about this game for my first playthrough, and I had no idea this armor was so sought-after. I got the altered chest piece the first time I killed a knight in Stormveil, and have been using up until now (Mt. Gelmir), with no complaints. Very fashionable with the Crimson Hood.

Submit

The knight in Rampart Tower can also drop two pieces on one death, I got gauntlets and greaves.

Submit

The boots are hideous. Goes good with veterans set

Submit

I got three pieces on a single kill from the one near the rampar grace, only missing the chest now

Submit

Isnt Dragon Temple grace the best spot for farming this?

Submit

Farming unaltered chest is abysmal, worst farm in game.

Submit

The unaltered chest piece can only be dropped by the mobs that are ACTUALLY WEARING IT. Make sure you see the white and black cloth tabard on the mob's chest before you start farming. Dual wielding sword mob in Castle Sol is the way, and don't confuse it with the mob at the entrance of Church of the Eclipse.

The hooded helm can be farmed more easily at Caelid's Church of the Dragon Communion, but that mob does NOT have the unaltered chest piece.

Submit

To every person who says you can farm Banished Armor from Castle Sol is incorrect. There is no reason to farm the armor set there, as by the time you clear Stormveil Castle and the Dragon Communion Church in Caelid, you will have literally both the unaltered and altered versions of the sets.

Please stop recommending Castle Sol as there is no reason to farm there (other than high souls, and even then the risk is not worth the reward).

Submit

Castle Sol super easy farming the dual great swords vanished knight

You’ll need Ekzyles Rot breath

Start at Eclipse church grace and head out of the church door to the left (south)

then go around corner and take the ladder up to the two exile archers just before the round tower with ladder down to knights area

once at the second ladder that leads down to the knight you hop up on the castle walls to the left of the ladder and walk along them until you can jump up on the tent and then walk up to the highest point, he usually will just attack under the tent, and if angled right you can kill him with one full Rot breath just standing on top of the tents

-Out if like 40 times he’s only managed to teleport up to me on the tent twice, other then that he’s stuck on the ground unable to hit you or get to you, if he gets up you just jump down, go back to ladder and hop back onto the wall

There won't be a home if we don't stop the Banished... Knight

Mini Rant:
Okay so, I'm starting to believe it is impossible to get the unaltered chestplate piece from the banished knight right next to Church of the Eclipse grace site in Castle Sol. This was BY FAR the most painful thing i did in the entire game and i have 100+ hours invested in it. I have killed this guy over 160+ times by now and i still haven't gotten the armor piece WITH 275 DISCOVERY POINTS. It's really annoying as well cause I'm on journey 3 and i had to respec and put 99 points into arcane so i don't one shot the guy. I've tried killing the other dual weilding knight in castle sol but it's just not worth since he's so far away from the grace site and is harder to kill. I really think they should buff the drop rates on these armors because you can obtain better armor, even better looking ones, way easier, and I don't think anyone is having fun killing the same enemy 150+ times, or maybe I'm just an unlucky bastard. Ended up with:
-4 Helms unaltered
-11 Helms altered
-15 Chestpieces altered
-11 Gauntlets
-18 Greaves
-0 chestpieces unaltered!!!!!

Submit

I have only seen one banished knight who wears the unaltered chest and that is the one outside of the castle sol rooftop grace site who has two large wolves beside him.

Submit

I can confirm that with 60 arcane the Banished Knight at Stormveil by the Rampart Tower Grace can drop multiple pieces at once as well.

Submit

Banished for a reason indeed, hell of a codpiece

Submit

For the Banished Knight with the unaltered chest piece I recommend using the Battle Hammer. Swings relatively fast and it can stunlock him very easily.

Submit

Update- spend most of Friday getting the full set. Now have multiples of everything I can drop if anyone is desperate. (PS4)

Submit

if anyone got the full unaltered set pls contact me on psn:Dr-SAM-BHR, i have almost everything to trade

Submit

I have two of the four. Cant get the armor and greaves to drop. Want them so badly! The altered helm is freaking magnificent.

Submit

That codpiece though

Submit

Unaltered chest piece and helm are the pinnacle of fashion in this game

Submit

Clarifying with info from Japanese websites and wikis.
THERE DOESNT EXIST te helm WITHOUT HAIR AND HOOD. The truth is, some armor totally removes the hair.
glove and legs= using same parts
only 2 Helms: Hooded one and Non-hooded(has hair but can hide with some armors)
only 2 armors: Regular one as the image and various one with cloak(you wanna farm it in Sol castle in snow places)

Submit

Good luck farming this, I've killed like 300 of those dudes and I'm still missing a piece.

Submit

Does anyone know if there is a red cape version of the unaltered chest piece that drops and if so where?

Submit

Better skin of this set in Cathedral of Dragon Communion (South of Caelid). Easy farm.

Submit

Got the unaltered chest on first try. I was ready to farm for like 2 hours. Lucky me.

Submit

in the pic there are no gloves

Submit

How many helmet versions are in game? I fond hooded one ald with "hairs". Is there "clean" version as well?

Submit

Got every piece plus the altered/unaltered helm/chest from farming the banished knight in Cathedral of Dragon Communion. Super fast just spawn at grace, turn right, kill knight and repeat

Submit

I can confirm you can get the entire set from Rampart Tower. It took me around 120 attempts to get the chest piece which was the rarest part for me while the weapon and other pieces were quite common that I ended up with 3-4 of each.

Submit

There is a bulge in the pants

Submit

Why they all got this white hair on the back ? I farmed at stormevail and at church of eclipse.. they drop the same set, without any white hair ; /

Submit

The 2 knights at the grace point at the Cathedral of Dragon in Caelid drop all the items except the altered helm like the one in the picture. They have the helm with the red covering over it. It has better specs than the altered one but does not look as cool. Took me forever to get them to drop the greaves for the legs though. It took me about 70 kills to get the greaves. They dropped a lot of the other items though.

Submit

I can confirm that the non altered helm can be acquired as soon as stormveil, but it's very tedious to farm since only 1 knight drop it and he's hard to reach.
From rampart tower SoG, go out the door and jump straight to the roof below. Follow the tower ledge near the broken pillar on the left of you to the other side, drop down when you see a wooden bridge. Follow that bridge, go down the ladder and cross another bridge, you will encounter 2 banished knights, the one wearing red helm is the one that can drop the normal helmet.

Submit

The helms drop rate is ridiculously low. Farmed the one wielding the halberd by rampart tower; got more than 5 of each piece, halberds included, before the helm finally dropped.

Submit

I don't know if anyone has said yet but here's how to get the heavy (red cape) variant of the chest piece:

Spawn at the Church of the Eclipse site of grace in castle Sol (northeast land of the giants) and wrap behind the church and up a ladder, follow the wall and drop down to find a dual wielding banished knight. He dropped it for me after about 25 tries, but the knight at the steps of the church wouldn't drop the red cape variant after 50 ish kills.

Hopefully this helps a bit, I also don't claim this to be the only drop source but its where I found mine.

Submit

Picture showcasing the armor doesn't have the gauntlets on. Not sure if anyone noticed.

Submit

Rampart Tower drops still happening. Try night time.

Submit

farmed at stormveil castle , "*something* tower grace. Go to the balcony, run, jump onto the smaller building on the right, then onto the pathway on the left, there will be 1 knight with 1 torchbearer

Submit

I can confirm the set still drops from the guy at Dragon Communion, just got the pants and sword.

Submit

Броня всё еще падает. Я с лапкой, убивая трёх рыцарей за забег около 16 раз, собрал полный сет + 5 мечей, 2 щита и 2 пары перчаток запасных.

Yes, its still dropping. You were just unlucky.

Submit

Can anyone confirm the armor still drops after the patch? I killed around 30 knights at stormveil and 20+ in the caelid dragon cathedral without a single piece of armor dropping. It could be that the devs removed the drop and placed the set to be picked up somewhere.

Submit

Anyone been able to farm this set since the patch? I tried killing the knights in stormveil castle a good 30+ times and i got a single drop(halberd). I killed the knight in the dragon cathedral 20 times and zero drops. Patch might have removed the armor drop and placed it for pickup somewhere instead.

Farmed the one near the grace in Stormveil for his Halberd and instead got the full set in 4 tries. The halberd however took 23 more tries.

Submit

Adorable duck feet xD

Submit

i cant get the chestplate

Submit

It’s weird I tried for about an hour to farm the set, and I wasn’t getting the chest or the gauntlets, so I went to this page to learn more and for whatever reason afterwards they both dropped in the same run-through at the cathedral.

Submit

I found this in Stormveil Castle. Having reached Farum Azula, I still haven't found a better armor set.

Submit

There's a black variant of this armor on a bunch of armor stands in Stormveil Castle. I wish they could drop...

Submit

anyone else hear boulevard of broken dreams when rp walking with this set equipped?

Submit

very nice helmet

Submit

I can confirm red hooded helmet will drop in stormveil above giant, near secluded cell. The caelid one would be way faster to farm but I didnt want to go to caelid yet. The knight has the crazy hair but no hair when you equip it on your character

Submit

The Veteran's set mix-match quite well with this set, fine tune some parts if you got weight/poise problem but love the look + the color scheme fits

Submit

Elden Ring's variation of Lapp's armor. Heavy armor defense with medium armor weight, though it's a little less egregious here since it does have a bit less poise and that actually does something now

Submit

Got pretty lucky with the guy wandering around the Cathedral of Dragon Communion. Full set, two swords and the shield (which was what i wanted) fairly quick. I also like the tattered rags look more.

Submit

The unaltered chest piece for this set is in Castle Sol, located up to the north mountain fo the giants. Near the front end of the castle and at the top there is a dual wielding banished knight who has the set on him. I farmed him for about half an hour and oh my god it’s the sexiest armor in this game. I refuse to wear anything else. Even if I have to keep my Endurance above 30 to use anything else
