Black Knife Set | Elden Ring Wiki

Hard to use anything else on any ranged build.

Submit

It will never not make me sad that the gloves and legs don't have the same blue hue as the chest. I love the design of the chest, but it looks like the other pieces that include metal are from a completely different armor set because of the drastic color difference. And outside of this set there aren't any armor pieces that go well with the chest otherwise. Fashion will always be my main priority objective.

Submit

Glad they patched the whole "farm the lesser yes lesser black knife assassins that don't respawn back ti get the armor" in patch 1.00 that was bs trying to farm it. You had to restart before the assassins where dead if they din't drop anything.

Also 1.00 the armor had no silence buff. So you could cosplay as a lesser black knife assassins without altering the armor and using unseen form (which btw is in 1.00 called conceal presence)

Submit

i dont really understand why it need the unaltered version to have the buff. It looks so good without the cloak

Submit

The giant shoulder pads ruin this one. You don't look good when you wear this. Cope.

Submit

the fact that this set does NOTHING in liturgical town mini dungeon puzzle thing is beyond stupid

Submit

The armor doesnt show up till you complete the Gaol, under the first arch under the stairs in the back

Submit

Still stuck on niall

Sexy

I swear that every time I see someone wearing this set, it's Type A character.

Submit

put on gloves,boots and altered chestpiece and knight helm for ds3 starting armor drip

Submit

I wish there was a "lesser black knife set" to make the player able to cosplay those invisible lesser black knife assassins

Submit

Another benefit for fashion souls here is that the Black Knives are all female, so this armour is gonna fit if you want your character to have a less bulky silhouette.

Plus it's one of the few gauntlets that has claw tipped fingers. So yes, edgy af.

Colours also match perfectly with the Moonlight Greatsword when it's not buffed, since it has a faint teal undertone.

But that also means you literally won't be able to match it with almost anything else in the game unless you're colourblind or just don't care about the fashion.

Submit

Wish it didn't have the big goofy pauldrons, otherwise I think the armor looks really nice. And the silence ability outweighs the pauldrons for me.

Submit

the chest piece is the best drip AND has utility, what can i ask more

Submit

Consecrated snowfields, huh? I didnt plan on making an black knife build anyways. No fun allowed.

Submit

Wearing this set breaks the mimic. You will see the mimic (such as a box) and yourself at the same time.

Submit

oddly enough, the chestpiece prevents you from going invisible for whatever reason

Submit

It would have made more sense if the greaves muffled footstep sounds tbh

Submit

Ah, movement in water pools is also silent, from what I observed. My favorite set so far, been playing a stealth character is very funny in a soulsborne. The Black Knife is very badass, and a full Black Assassin Cosplay makes the Mimic Tear almost a Black Knife Tiche twin.

Submit

This made my character movement so silent that it's giving me headache. After 140 hours hearing the cling clang at every roll, this is kind unsettling.

I feel like it's making even Torrent silent. I've been jumping R2 almost any mob from Torrent one inch away them.

Submit

Could anyone with a set they aren't using please drop trade me this set so I can have it early? If so let me know and we can message on Xbox!

Submit

The chest piece's cloak effect bugs out the Mimic Veil, causing your character to be fully visible. It looks really funny. Especially if you go to Raya Lucaria and get the cage one

Submit

I use that chest piece all the time for the silence effect, it helps that it looks cool as hell

Submit

The transparent cloak looks cool but I also wish I could get one with a fully opaque black cloak.

Submit

wish it made your head invisible like the black knives in the game

Submit

Dancer set 2.0

So this armor seems to negate frostbite? Blessed dew talisman equipped with this armor and you take no damage after your bar is maxed out.

I created a frenzy character, gave her a katana and called her Lady of the Edge

Darth Maul set

If I see you wearing this I'm going to automatically assume there is 14 empty Monster cans next to you and your waifu pillow

Looks like the Nightingale set from Skyrim

Edge Lord set

Submit

Don't know if anyone else is having this issue so I'm gonna leave a comment anyway just in case. As of 1.04 (at least for me as I am unable to find confirmation or denial of others having this issue as of yet) the chest is bugged causing immediate CTD and character corruption upon equip. I was able to replicate this on multiple characters thanks to back-ups.

If you want to hit poise breakpoints, have decent reduction, but still cosplay an assassin: try black knife hood + chest, and fire prelate hands + legs. Exactly 51 poise, 68 with bull goat talisman, so you are hitting both 2 most important breakpoints, still get silenced movement, and it’s kinda hard to tell difference. Looks almost the same.

Submit

After further testing it seems barring the duelist chest, any chest piece with a hood will work (keep the hood up) with the list of helmets provided here

Submit

Altered Nox Monk Hood works with the chest piece as well

Submit

Yo this Chestpiece is a game changer. I hate that term, but it absolutely applies here. You get the drop on pretty much every enemy, which is awesome, but then you also get the buff on attacking enemies you haven't agroed. In Farum Azula I feel like I'm just casually walking around deleting folks. Only downside is... I felt like a jerk when I discovered Iji's burning body surrounded by folks dressed like me.

Submit

Mimic veil not tear

Submit

For some reason using this causes you not to disappear when using the mimic tear

Submit

It's a pity it has so many metal parts. This armour doesn't really suggest a stealthy assassin.

Submit

Edge, lord

Submit

there's quite a few hoods and altered headgear that works with the hooded armor, not to mention fingerprint helm

Submit

you are not longer silent if you use the altered version of the chestpiece lol

Submit

daddy

Submit

I'm not sure how to edit but Eccentric's Hood (Altered) keeps the hood

Submit

Dark Wraith

Submit

AND ON THE NIGHT OF THE BLACK KNIVES, GODWYN WAS FIRST TO PEEEERISH

Submit

Hood also works with Nox Monk Hood (Altered version)

Submit

Found a couple more helms that work with the chest piece to keep the cloak up.

Nox Monk Hood (Altered)

Nox Swordstress Crown (Altered)

these 2 both look great with the armor as well.

Submit

weird finding while I was looking at helmets to pair with this set is that the Eccentric hood does still have the black knife hood over it when its altered. Not sure if this works with other helmets

Submit

Got this this cool set. It is great that steps are silenced. Can anyone explain how to make this invisible shifts and movements? For me it is still the same somersault even when the whole set is equiped :(

Submit

The unseen form spell does not seem to visually appear when this set is equipped. I need to test with a player to see if it appears on their side

*teleports behind you* Heh, nothing personnel kid

Submit

It look like the forlorn set in ds2

Submit

idk if this is supposed the be a thing but the cape on the body armor is translucent. Just picked it up after 1.03

Submit

Damn, I like this armor but now I can't hear the meaty slaps of my bare feet hitting the ground >:)

Submit

the nox swordstress crown (altered), the astrologer hood and the perfumer hood, go under the "invisible" hood as well, not just the fingerprint helm. I'm sure there's a lot more so it's worth testing if you're interested

Submit

Armor: Silences your footsteps.
Boots: Are we a joke to you?

Submit

i have never seen a less drippy edgelord set ever, and the fricking royal remains set exists lmao

Submit

as another comment says, only the torso piece applies the silent footsteps effect. additionally, if you use "alter garments" to remove the cape from the torso, it no longer silences your footsteps at all.

Submit

edge lord set


and i dont care

Submit

As far as i know the fingerprint helmet is the only helmet that can go 'under' the cowl of the black knife torso.

Submit

Only the body is silenced and you get the full effect from it alone, despite the wiki and other armor piece pages suggesting otherwise. You can simply look at your status bar for the foot icon, run near any enemy in the game that is sound-aggro, or even just turn up your audio to test this yourselves. Dunno why people perpetuate stupid lies here.

Submit

I've gotten so used to wearing this set now that if I wear anything else I forget I don't have passive silent footsteps.

Submit

Looks like Forlorn set from ds2

Submit

This chest armor is bugged, if you alter it the silent step is removed as well, it only maintains silence when it has the cape :(

Submit

Mind the Edge Boy

Submit

So if they have close ties to Marika, why did Marika want to kill the demigods/her children? To end the cycle of rebirth and have her child be the first to live in Death? He'd become the new Prince of Death and it was her way of defying the Erdtree/Greater Will?

Submit

Is it possible to rush this set without beating some major bosses?

Submit

is this set and the Bandit set the only thief/assassin themed armor set?

Submit

The ghost cloak doesn't go away if you wear the Bloodsoaked Mask or Fingerprint Helm with the chestpiece. The Fingerprint Helm even shrinks slightly to fit, so it's possible there are more helms that work with the ghost cloak.

Submit

FUN FACT: the challenge leading to this armor will also have another set of armor. it does not drop in one go you have to farm the female archers around the area. highly suggest you leave the bottom figure untouched but light the rest even if you die the figures will still be activated. there are about 3 archers on roofs and around 1-2 archers on the ground. hunt the ones on the roof unless you wish your character didn't have a stomach. the armor that is farmable from the archers is called Blue Silver.
in short, start the challenge, run like a mad man and light the three roof figures and save the bottom one for when you are done, kill the three roof archers (the ones on the ground too if you have the guts to do so). if you don't get any part of the armor let the invisible man filet you. go back in repeat the murder of archers, once you get the armor simply light the last figure.

Submit

Everyone in the comments saying this armor is edgy is just conveniently forgetting what everything else in this game looks and sounds like

Submit

Very similar to forlorn from ds2

Submit

I hate that the cloak is just an outline but the icons don't show it as such. Why Miyazaki?

Submit

I ****ing hate just how much of the good looking armor is locked away behind so much progression.

Submit

didnt realize how late game you had to be to get this armor, spent way to much effort to make my other character look edgy

Submit

If you take the cloak off with tailoring, it stops being silent

Submit

Anyone who already has this and doesn't use it want to let me have it? :). It's going to see me forever to get to it myself as I have limited play time. Add me on psn Ligma_Balze

Submit

It has now become edgy to call out armor for looking edgy. Praise the sun!

Submit

This set makes absolutely no noise when you run/walk/jump/roll. It is the ultimate stealth set.

Submit

You need to be literally at the endgame to get this armor.

Submit

It's in like the last area of the game. Let the Edgelords have their fun.

Submit

The cape has a nice translucent effect, but you can remove it with alteration at a site of grace. The body armor makes your footsteps silent.

Submit

wow this armor completely reminds me of Lord Vholran's outfit from Tales of Arise! I love it.

Submit

Be careful you don’t cut yourself on that edge, kiddo.

Submit

Well there we have it, Guts cosplay is confirmed.

Submit

Submit

I don't care if it's edgy, I'm gonna go get this set right now
