Banished Knight Set Elden Ring Notes and Tips
- Banished Knight Gauntlets and Banished Knight Greaves can drop from all Banished Knight enemies.
- The Banished Knight Armor (Altered) and Banished Knight Helm (Altered) can be farmed near the Rampart Tower site of grace in Stormveil Castle. A Banished Knight is located just down the stairs of the large room outside the grace location.
- Another quick way to farm the Altered pieces is from the Church of the Eclipse site of grace at Castle Sol. A Banished Knight is located directly outside this grace location.
- The unaltered Banished Knight Helm can be farmed from the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid. A Banished Knight is nearby in the church entryway.
- The unaltered Banished Knight Armor only drops off of two specific Banished Knights in Castle Sol. One can be easily farmed by starting from the Castle Sol Rooftop site of grace and running south to the elevator. The Banished Knight can be seen off to the left with two wolves. He can be shot with ranged weapons from here causing it to teleport to the player alone.
- Castellan Edgar wears the unaltered Banished Knight set without the helmet, but will not dropp any of the pieces when killed.

Banished Knight Helm (Altered) + Banished Knight Armor + Veteran’s Gauntlets/Greaves = Peak Elden Bling
Can you guys recommend me some alternate gauntlets and greaves for this set. I only like the unaltered helm and armor.

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

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

I farmed the set at Stormveil Castle and I only get 56 poise, any idea why this might be?
- Anonymous
Good stats for the way it looks. Most armor sets usually go one way or another.
- Anonymous
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.

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

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.

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.
- Anonymous
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.
- Anonymous
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.

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.

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.
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.

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

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.
- Anonymous
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.
- Anonymous
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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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).
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
Castle sold super easy farming the dual great swords vanished 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!!!!!

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.

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.

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.
Update- spend most of Friday getting the full set. Now have multiples of everything I can drop if anyone is desperate. (PS4)
- Anonymous
if anyone got the full unaltered set pls contact me on psn:Dr-SAM-BHR, i have almost everything to trade
I have two of the four. Cant get the armor and greaves to drop. Want them so badly! The altered helm is freaking magnificent.

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

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

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.

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 ; /

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.
- Anonymous
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.
- Anonymous
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.
- Anonymous
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.

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.
- Anonymous
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.

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.

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

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
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.

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