Briar Set | Elden Ring Wiki

I hope they add a clear/briar-less version of the armor in the DLC

Submit

Was fighting the guy at sol wearing this set, level 90. Was on half health with on heal flask, until I panic rolled into him, killing him and saving me. Never letting go of this set.

Submit

This set should damage enemies who grapple you. Like if an Iron Virgin grabs you, you'd hit her back directly to the weak spot

Submit

Does this proc winged sword insigna?

Submit

Wear the gloves at all times, you'll never get stuck between mobs trying to roll out and die this way. Doesn't happen a .lot but when it does, oh boy is it infuriating,.

Yes, indeed i used roll only in arena.

Submit

I've been wearing the gauntlets on my usual set of armor and it's impressive how often that 1 point of damage staggers enemies when rolling. I've seen it interrupt black knives' attacks.

Submit

'Rolls at you with malicious intent'

Submit

this Armor set looks very sick with the barbed wire

Submit

If you wear this and use the lions claw aow, the flip counts as a rolling hit. Pretty useful in certain scenarios

Submit

The left arm clips through the cape when jogging on medium load, theres no changes to the size of your arm that you can make to make it not clip while jogging, it is such a minor issue but it bother the **** out of me, its been like this since release and its been the only thing keeping me form doing a full run as a Elemer cosplay, help me

Submit

Been entering duels with this set just for the lols and have at one point managed to get someone to half health lmao

Submit

This armor gives me the vibe of what a late roman soldier would wear. Neat.

Submit

Just a few notes from personal testing: Can be buffed with spells such as Flame, Grant Me Strength or Golden Vow. Anything that buffs the base damage of the character will buff this armour. This set DOES NOT activate any of the “repeated attack” talismans, like the Sword Insignias and Swaddling Cloth, although its damage will be buffed if the Sword Insignias are activated via other means. It also does not benefit from either the Windy Crystal Tear or the Crucible Feather Talisman.

Submit

Am I the only one noticing that if you were this armor set you don't break things when jumping into them? I thought it was an update to the game, then I removed the armor and everything broke again. Rolling smashes thing still though.

Submit

If I use the whole set, flames deadly sin and that rolypoly talisman can literally spin to win?

Submit

You aren’t wearing the gauntlets with your optimized build for fashion. And you know it. Colossal goes away, DPS meta comes out and you get spanked. You get a point down and a well deserved sh*t pot.
You aren’t as slick as you think you are.

Submit

I love the set, but i hate that it aimpunches in pvp. I would love to use it, but it's so annoying for the opponent.

Submit

should be added you need to get the quest from Enia or otherwise after defeating Elemer you'll be locked out of getting the armor during the plsythrough.......... why fromsoft why....

Submit

Note: While not great for bosses, this set is LOVELY for regular enemies. It's hits knock things out of attacks very easily, and knock them backwards normally. Meaning you can clear space by just rolling through hordes and getting them out of your way. Don't use it for damage, use it for utility.

Submit

This set is great in the open world, through dodging you sometimes interrupt the enemies attack which is a neat gimmick to this awesome looking Armor.

Submit

I really like this set, probably my favorite in the game only a few others come close like the Eccentric set but I wish you could alter the armor as a 'restored' version. Not necessarily without the briars or pristine. Just being able to make the armor look worn but not tread through 7 kilometers of salty swamp water while pouring gravy on yourself.

Submit

It’s a good thing they patched the fires deadly sin + blood flame blade glitch. It was deadly enough on its own but it sounds even worse when you pair it with this and lightning ram

Submit

That looks more like barbed wire wrapped around it than briar bush needles.

Submit

Why would you want to alter this armor?? Y'all are so petty lol.

Submit

Elemer may be a merchant murdering madman but he does have impeccable fashion sense

Submit

The aimpunch set, truly Elmer was the most evil man of his time to knowingly abuse such things.

Submit

One of the best looking sets in the game for sure.

Submit

Why does this armor set not have good poise? Elemer poises through a heavy jump attack with a colossal weapon, and he wears the same armor.

Submit

mfw the rolling damage can aimpunch colossal weapons

Submit

Idk why everyone hates the thorns, they tell a neat little story.
They are also the only reason that rolling with this would deal dmg

Submit

Lower poise than the Knight Set which you can buy in the first 20 min of the game. I get the added bonus of the roll damage but still, 51 should be the bare minimum for sets of this tier.

Submit

This is a really cool looking armor set…love the jacked up mask

Submit

PENITENT ONE!

Submit

does this work with lightning ram?

Submit

FromSoftware: proceeds to add a altered armors system.
Fromsoftware too: only adds cape alteration and skip adding restored version for rusty sets and additional variations.

Submit

We have Knight Kirk's Armor of Thorns at home...

Submit

Be careful wearing this set if you're trying to avoid wildlife conflict with the beast repellent torch. That is why I was running around those basilisks naked, officer. I swear!

Submit

Fun fact: with the giant cusher R2 or lion's claw this armor will slightly stagger enemies for tiny damage during the first part of the animation when next to them.

Submit

does this deal any poise damage?

Submit

Those of you on PC, if you don't like the barbed wire but like the rest of the set theres a super simple mod to remove it from the armour and the sword on nexus. Looks incredible without it imo.

Submit

Not sure if you guys are aware for Elden Fextra, but comments are producing errors and you cannot submit them when responding to comments – claims they are empty. I’m also getting JS script error popups.

Neat little interaction: wearing a piece of this armour set will remove your ability to break objects by jumping in no-combat areas like Roundtree.

I discovered this when I tried jumping on the candlestand going to the twin husks shop, and ended up on TOP of the stand rather than breaking it. To my surprise, you can even leave a message there! Further testing around the area found I could not jump to break tables, armour stands, or chairs with the Briar armour on, but rolling into them still works. Wonder if that's intended, or it'll be fixed down the line.

Submit

The helmet is inspired by "Monkey Christ" - a painting "renovated" by some random old lady in Spain

Submit

Hitting enemies with the roll counts as a hit for the rune of Malenia, effectively giving you health back with each roll-hit

Submit

i like wearing one piece of this set so i can roll past most enemies and have them jerk their entire bodies for 1 damage.

Submit

this with the iron casa head looks pretty sick

Submit

Y,know as much as i hate bell bearing hunters with a passion, they have very dripped up armor.

Submit

Does this work with the AOW lightning ram?

Submit

Can you kill NPCs in safe zones like the Roundtable with this on?

Submit

Bumping into enemies with this counts as a weak attack and enemies that deflect weak attacks like Crystallians will cause you to stagger. This can lead to you getting stunlocked if you get too close to an enemy like that until their combo finishes, because they keep moving in to you which keeps triggering your stagger animation.

Submit

This works with quickstep and bloodhound step for some ungodly reason.

Submit

Does the bloodflame blade buff procs by thorn effects?

Submit

I’m disappointed there is no bleed rolling damage :/

Submit

With morgotts great sword the initial rush that you do before the bloodflame slash will stagger enemies with this set effectively allowing you to get the slash off almost like adding some hyper armor to the attack pretty interesting

Submit

If youre having trouble with the blood alburnac’s in mowhgs palace, putting one piece of this set on allows you to interrupt their summersault attack by just rolling into them!

Submit

The altered chest piece has such a nice skirtline, shame the shoulders are so bulky it makes my character look like she could throw a bowling ball into orbit

Submit

Bubble tear go bye-bye

Submit

I just wish the barbed wire actually fit the outfit and didn't clip so badly with the pieces- I love the look(and I wish the altered version allowed you to remove the wire), but the wire has a cool theme to it- but its just so bad with clipping, even with its own pieces, that I cant wear it without being bothered by it.

Submit

Does Raptor of the Mists gain free damage if you activate it while wearing this? I could imagine being able to avoid taking damage, damaging and staggering a foe, while falling into a jumping attack could be a bit obnoxious.

Submit

Holy sh*t this set is really good especially combined with specific weapon skills like lions claw because you stagger enemies before they hit and interrupt you so you have more chance of landing a hit, very epic fromsoft!

Submit

It's weird that people complain about the things that make the set so unique and cool looking. Definitely my favorite armor in the game.

Submit

if i bloodhound step into people, does it deal damage?

Submit

This set would look insanely cool if it didn't have the barbed wire.

Submit

They ****ed up the stats on the set, it does not have 600 poise, like the boss.

Submit

I'm gonna say it: This is one of my aesthetically favorite sets in the game.

Submit

Does anyone know how much poise damage the set takes? As well as how much poise damage it deals with only one equipped? Or two etc?


Just curious because I know it staggers enemies with weak poise like zombies for PVE it for players if you're running super light armor for whatever reason, it could stagger you similar to a throwing knife. Just curious since I only wear one piece and didn't know if there was a way to determine the poise damage.

Submit

Wearing any piece of this set prevents you from destroying destructible decor such as crates or chairs when you jump into them, however rolling will still cause them to break.

Submit

Looks nice with the black hood or the Skeletal Mask. The confessor hood kinda works too but the color is just slightly off.

Submit

this armor + Eitehr quick step or bloodhound step is pretty fun

Submit

this armour can proc bleed on enemies provided you're using a weapon that builds the status up. found this out while fighting malenia with bloodhounds fang, and while rolling towards her trying to avoid attacks i procced a bleed effect on occasion. haven't tested this in pvp yet, and i don't think that you could build a full bleed up from fully rolling but if you're using a bleed weapon it is enough to push some people over the edge at times. don't need a full set, just one piece of armour will do.

also great for dealing with any undead enemies. just roll over the bodies before they revive and they die. just be careful around NPC's as I did accidentally kill an injured npc while trying to progress their questline.

Submit

I figured out a handy tip. What its great for is killing the skeleton enemies when they're on the ground. You just kill them, then roll through their dead body to finish them without them getting back up. Easy peasy. All you need is one piece of the armor for it to work, so you can just have like the gloves or legs only etc.

Submit

Be very careful near friendly NPC's in this set. The rolling attack is disabled in non-attack areas for obvious reasons, but it will one-shot any NPC that can't fight back if attacked otherwise. Example: Rolling into Alexander will just act as an attack and piss him off, but rolling into someone like Sage Gowry will instantly kill them. Backstepping doesn't count, though, as it doesn't deal any damage normally. Careful with that B / O button, friends.

Submit

Helm weighs 5.1 not 2.2 pls update ^^

Submit

Do yourself a favor and don't roll into shield enemies with this, you will trigger their counter attack when rolling into them.

Submit

I wish the hat was pointier but this is still the best choice for a Penitent One cosplay.

Do NOT wear any of this armour, working as it does as the Thorns armour in DaS3 it deals damage upon rolling around your opponent, damage that can be used by them to trigger a guard counter by blocking...

Submit

They see me rollINg. They hating.

Submit

I got this for my lvl 20 twink invasions in stormveil.
4 pieces at lvl 20 do 21 damage per roll. Not much, but at low levels 10 rolls against 1host+2cooperators will make at least one of them step back and heal. Much needed respite when against the odds

Submit

Hello Kirk, good to see you again.

Submit

Sadly doesn't deal damage with lightning ram

Submit

its the armor of thorns

Submit

just by wearing a single piece in mi case gauntlets it staggers most of the mobs pretty usefull especially for fast annoying mobs or packs

Submit

Has anyone tried this with the goat roll ash of war? Does it add to the damage?

Submit

Makes bloodhound step deal damage if you bump into an enemy.

Best part about this set that noone is talking about is how it also makes rolling deal stance damage and can stance break enemies.

Submit

Does this work with Prelate's Charge?

Submit

If you roll into something capable of deflecting attacks (Miners, Crystalians, shields, etc), and you have a weapon you lack the stats to wield in one hand in your right hand, you'll deflect off them and cancel your roll. Even if you have the necessary strength while two-handing, you'll still deflect.

Submit

1 piece = 1, 2 piece = 4, 3 piece = 11, 4 piece = 41.

Submit

Anyone know if there's a way to buff the damage output, and does the damage done by this armor affect the stagger gauge?

Submit

This is just annoy enemy is pvp, some people get nervous because o "damage" and start doing mistakes

Submit

Useful for killing skeletons just roll into the corpse <3
