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 drop any of the pieces when killed.
- Poise updated to patch 1.07. See Patch Notes for details.

Somehow farmed the complete set from the Knight at the Dragon Cathedral in about 15 minutes. Thats about as lucky as I've ever gotten in this game lol.

I love the blend of colors and function on the unaltered chestpiece, looks really unique and cool. If you're looking for alternate legs to match it, I recommend not going for anything that has metal on it; the tint is almost bound to not match (yes that includes scaled greaves). Instead, try going for some cloth / leather pants, e.g. leather trousers, leather boots, and so on.
Patch idea:let Boc be able to alter it so we don't have to farm for half an hour to get a chest plate we technically already have

Love the unaltered helm with unaltered chest paired with Briar Knight greaves and mitts.
I was terrified to have to farm those teleporting chuds for the unaltered chest but the Bolt of Granseax(sp, whatev) before you cross the bridge, before the wolves really notice or attack you, knocks the dude on his keister and buys enough time for you to toss the next two bolts to finish him off before he can ever teleport. Wolf got in the way once. Shard of Alexander helped.

An excellent Elden Bling i made was using
Unaltered Banished Knight Helm (the one with the hood)
Radahn Armor
Gauntlets are flexible but Banished, Crucible, Veteran or Cleanrot are all great choices
Cleanrot or Malformes Dragon Greaves
As for the weapon it can really go on preference but the Marais Executioner Sword looks phenomenal with this fit

This set is frustrating. I just wish I could get the altered helmet without the goofy hair, and get the unaltered chest piece just without the cape because the altered chest piece looks terrible and loses all of the cool details. Still though the unaltered set looks great even if the colors are a bit off with the hood. Good luck farming it though.

"hmm yes let's make the unaltered chest piece only drop from 2 specific knights in an endgame area even though there's 2 in caelid that have the exact same armor on and can be more easily farmed, we definitely thought ahead for everything to piss off people just looking for fashion"

This is easy (if tedious as usual) to farm at the dragon cathedral early on, including the sword and shield. currently having fun being an ally summon, roleplaying as Banished Knight Oleg with dual banished knight swords and quickstep

Tree Sentinel Set has better stats, except for Vitality. Also Tree is a guaranteed drop after a quick mini boss fight in Deeproot Depths.

I had the unaltered chest piece drop a few days ago from the halberd wielding knight near Niall's boss area. The 'stone of gurranq' incantation shut him out of using any of his attacks against me. That's significant in terms of storm assault, it does big damage if he lands it. You need the FP and stamina to make it work.
I was able to get into a reasonably efficient kill - reset - kill = purple glow loop with him, It took the edge right off the inherent risk in a prolonged fight against a strong enemy.

Bernahl's beast champion set is one of the nicest looking heavy armour sets in the whole game, as long as you use any other helm with it, there are a few that look good with it which is fortunate seeing how bad the beast champion helm looks.
- Anonymous
Another nice looking armour set with a stupid or outright bad looking helm. The long hair on the altered helm doesn't always show, it depends on the chest piece but by sods law the long hair would show on the chest armour the helm belongs to.
- Anonymous
The Veteran set's gauntlets and greaves are modeled after this set's. Combining them with the unaltered banished knight helm/armor and wearing a blindfold dyed the same wine red as the rest of the cloth in the set is my favorite look in the game. It feels complete.
- Anonymous
For people looking for an alternative to this armor because they don’t want to farm it, if you haven’t been to volcano manor yet you can go to the warmaster’s shack right at the beginning of the game in limgrave and kill Bernahl, this will give you his full armour set which is better than the altered banished knights armour l, however will lock you out of getting the raging wolf armour set, but all in all it is a very easy way to get one of the best armour sets in the game as soon as you start

Looks good with Carian Knight helmet and altered armor, greaves, and gauntlets if you wanna see your face and don't like the hair or scarf

Beautiful set, burgonet with falling buffe really sells it for me, though I don't like that long ass hair but there are mods to fix that.

Anyone notice that if you kill the banished knight on the cliff by the cath dragon Commune, another one spawns behind the building, I looked around but couldn't find anymore. That seemed like it was some sort of chain. Maybe it leads to something else?

I spent an hour farming for this, ended up with 8 chest pieces, 4 gloves, 2 pants, and a singular helmet that took 80 percent of the farming time, still worth the drip tho

I got 3 helmets 6boots and 8chestpieces and gloves just dont drop.

Reminds me of the banishing of the knights of Godfrey, of which (depending on class selection), the lore implies you are one. So, I like growing from Vagabond Set to Knight Set to Banished Knight Set (with unaltered chest armor). Like reclaiming what was yours.

Favorite drip. Love the details and the way light plays on the metal. Can mix and match seamlessly with Scaled set to lower weight a tad while still looking amazing.

Dang that cape is just one thing too much, if it was just the tabard...*chefs kiss*

All unaltered pieces of this set + Dragon Halberd + Cuckoo Greatshield. Do I need to say more?

For the unaltered chest, which is the hardest and last piece you will get (and also when this armor overtakes Radhan set) my farming method was exiting the church, sprinting up the ladder, killing the one enemy there. Running around the scaffolding and jumping down. Quickly killing the knight, then teleport back to church if nothing drops.

Has more unnf than your regular rank-and-file knight armor. A lot heavier but will gives sizeable protection to make a strong different.

I just went to fight the banished knight at the Church of Dragon Communion and he carried the unaltered helm. It has a long scarf coming out of it.

It might sound odd, but the banished knight helm (Altered), Sage robe, and a rotten dragon breath combo to turn you into Eda from Owl House.

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

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

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

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.
- Anonymous
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

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.

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.
- Anonymous
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

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!!!!!
- Anonymous
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.

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.

Does anyone know if there is a red cape version of the unaltered chest piece that drops and if so where?
The altered helmet looks kind of stupid with the hood ornament on top, and the altered chest looks kind of stupid with the random horn jutting out of your shoulder, but I really like the look of the unaltered helmet with the altered armor. It gets rid of the hood ornament, the weird hair, the random horn, and the cape.
