Fingerprint Set | Elden Ring Wiki

vyke receives worst fingering ever, asked to leave frenzied flame proscription

Submit

I understand in terms of lore this set has the lowest focus values in the game but seriously it is the perfect set for freezing flame gameplay but it is the worst set you can use

Submit

Would have been cool if they put some buff on this. We already have the Frenzied buff from the seal, so maybe wearing this could've buffed Vyke's spear?

Submit

HAVE YOU HEARD OF OUR LORD AND SAVER THE FRENZIED FLAME?

There's a lore reason, and then there's a meta-lore reason. Today, I will explain the meta-lore behind the Fingerprint set.
Miyazaki is making a poetic statement about the Souls series. It's not an accident that this set resembles the past iconic armors of the Souls series. And here we seen that it is in a worn-out, and almost pathetic state. It has been mishandled (thumbprints) and it's worn out (corrosion). It has this forlorn vibe to it, like an old toy that you neglected or forgot about.

Submit

I headcanon that the fingers didn't do anything to him and his armour just looked like this to begin with. The three fingers turned him away due to being too weird and his vibes being off

Submit

They say it was the lengthy lawsuit over his ruined armor that led to the three fingers’ new rule that you have to be naked when you open the door

Submit

is he hard

Submit

Vagram and Vyke fighting each other not for the title of Elden Lord, but for the title of John Elden Ring

Submit

holy **** its him john software

Submit

Wish this set had more focus, makes it hard to cast frenzy flame spells when you're going mad.

Submit

I head canon that Vyke used a Greatshield at one point, but it was damaged beyond usability because it was on his back when he was grabbed from behind by the Three Fingers, which is why his cape has no burn marks on it.

Submit

This is a dark souls 3 reference because its beat to sh1t and blue tinted for no reason

Submit

really makes you feel like John Demon's Souls

Submit

Thanks doc

Submit

Waltuh.

Submit

Oh my godwyn, it's him, John Elden Ring from the video game Elden Ring!

Submit

john demons souls got groped by a weird alien hand

Submit

My bro just wanted to keep his gf

Submit

It's him, John Elden Ring

Submit

It would be nice if we could use the alteration system to change this back to its pre-melted form. Unfortunately, alteration is just a "remove cape" button in 99.9% of cases.

Submit

Yeah it looks like Vyke's armor is a burnt up, scorched version of the Knight Set. Would make a lot of sense why it's sold in the roundtable, really fits in the lore well.

Submit

I believe Vyke's armor is just the Knight Set that has been melted by the three fingers. To me it seems as though the Knight Set is what Vyke learned about before he went down the path of madness.

Submit

Idk why people keep saying Vyke couldn't inherit the flame properly because he didn't take his armor off. I think it's much more likely there are fingerprints on his armor so the developers could visually communicate his fate, whereas you have to take yours off because they can't retexture every model to have fingerprints on it. Just seems pretty ignorant of the technical limitations of a video game to say there's concrete lore reasons for it.

Submit

I'm thinking about doing a new game plus, but I feel like after you get embraced by the 3 fingers the scars and eyes would be just too cool to get rid of, especially because it changes the fingerprint vyke armor so maybe I won't. so new game plus removing the 3 finger cosmetics is kind of sad so I think they should make it so you keep the three finger cosmetics. too sick

Submit

i have a theory that this was cut armor from dlc. its a raggedy knight thats needlessly blue tinted

Submit

Ashen one is that you?

Submit

This set makes you look extremely skinny, I recommend bumping up those body sliders if you plan to wear it

Submit

Others have pointed out that the refusal to remove his armor might be why Vyke failed to control the Frenzyflame when he contacted it.

The way this Roundtable relies more heavily on his Dragon cult spells almost like there is a schism between his old self and the one that carried the Frenzyflame.

Outside of the armor, this jailed Vyke does not show any sign of frenzy.

He is also immune to all status effects. Madness is one of them.

Vyke’s Dragonbolt blessing reduces equipload. Dragonbolt Blessing reduces status effects. My guess was that he thought he could use he dragon cult incantations to try resisting the flame, but instead he split apart.

Akin to how Placidusax’s Ruin does lightning and fire damage. It’s yellow looking fire is not unlike the Frenzyflame.

There really isn’t another character in gaol that has a second version quite like Vyke.

Placidusax’s arena isn’t even unlike a gaol.

It could have had a similar encounter with the three fingers itself. It is the only place in the game the player can shake off their influence. No frenzied dragon is ever seen. Like they are somehow immune.

Submit

maybe just me but doesnt this look like a damaged version of the knights set from ds3?

Submit

Maybe Vyke is the reason we need to strip down naked when we enter the finger room. the fingers tryed it with vyke but it failed because he wore his armor.

Submit

I just realized that This is the armour set on the loading screen when your logging in

Submit

They molested him!

Submit

An interesting theory I've seen on Reddit: Notice how the fingerprints suggest that he was grabbed from behind? It is likely that once he found out the three fingers wasn't anything like he had imagined, he turned around to leave, but the three fingers had other plans.

Submit

Armor of Box Art Andy.

Submit

I feel nothing for vyke. Elden lord is a empty title anyway

Submit

Vykes waist was snatched I'm just saying

Submit

This armor, confessor's gloves, and the white variant of the land of reeds pants has been a top 3 look in any Fromsoft game. Matches each of my weapon choices perfectly

Submit

This really has that classic From Software knight look. Extremely worn down and weathered with an almost somber look to it. It reminds me of a mix of the Fluted and Fallen Knight sets.

Submit

Vyke would have looked better without the helmet on. (At least the boss version that isn't Red invader) Seriously, copy his facedata onto one of your characters an it looks great with the set

Submit

Looks best if your character is emaciated.

Submit

Very low Focus. Vyke never stood a chance against the Frenzied Flame.

Submit

Looks like the fluted knight set from demon souls to me but all torn up

Submit

Oh my god, I can't believe it's him. Aladdin Ring. Titular protagonist of the smash success video game "Aladdin Rings."

Submit

Alter garments feature should've been able to alter this set to the "restored" version without the fingerprint burns

Submit

Looking at the little holes in the helmet’s visor, it looks like the Fingerprint set was originally the Vagabond Knight set before being singed by the Three Fingers

Submit

this helm + raging wolf set + black knife greaves = fashion

Submit

I defeated vyke but i didn't get this set. bummer.

Submit

Wish the armour had more focus, would of been badass to wear the full set for a madness playthrough, still looks cool with the confessor hood

Submit

This really should have a unique moveset. The weapon itself would fit more for a Glaive or something than all this pokey stuff.

Submit

kid named finger:

Submit

My man was almost elden lord, got a dragon to fall in love with him, went through the underside of the capital, parkoured his way through the Frenzied Flame Prosription, and forced his way through the door with his armor on. What an absolute Gigachad.

Submit

Knight Artorias, the Abysswalker... are you a reincarnation Vyke? You are on the cover of the Elden Ring, like Artorias was and again a warrior closer to his goal than ever but nearly at the end getting corrupted. How sad and beautiful at the same time, at least we did not have to kill your beloved wolf this time around, man I still have a trauma from that fight even after more than 10 years.

Submit

At least Vyke did not go in naked...

Submit

Fromsoft: *makes an armor set as good looking as the Sunset armor from ds3*
Also Fromsoft: *gives it an unique collor scheme, so it won't match anything else*

That's what I call an evil move... No fashion souls for this one...

Submit

Wonder if Vyke wasn't fully "converted" since he had his armor on when the three fingers grabbed him, since players need to be naked to enter the door and some of us are actually successful and not full crazy.

Submit

This set missing it's left pauldron and upper arm piece drives me crazy, especially since they could've put a cool design on it incorporating the burn from the Three Fingers.

Submit

I like how Vyke on the cover art appears defeated, and dejected. Since he wore the armor while meeting the three fingers, unable to become the Lord of Frenzied Flame. Ending up as a mad killer

Submit

One of the few steel helmets that keeps the black knife armor's hood on. This is my kinda Elden Bling

Submit

I really wish they had an "unfingered" version of this armor. Vyke has my favorite lore in the game

Submit

If only the Focus stat on this set didn't suck, now I can't accurately cosplay Vyke without stunning myself with madness like a complete buffoon.

Submit

honestly kinda sad that you cant see your burning frenzy eyes through the slit in the helmet

Submit

I saw a previous comment about this armor being similar to the undead legion (abyss watcher) set from dark souls 3 and firelink shrine set. However, I will say not the firelink more so the undead legion set. This comes down to both having that scarf like cape, and with one arm having more armor than the other. The fingerprint is in my opinion the armored variation of the undead legion. Here's a photo comparison of the two. Let me know what you all think

Submit

you'd think they gave this guy a bit more impact, since he's on the cover and all

Submit

purple = win

Submit

If you think about it, the game has 3 seemingly "poster" armors:
-Knight Set appears on the tutorial infos
-Raging Wolf Set appears on the trailers
-Fingerprint Set appears on the cover art

Submit

drip so hard that the steel of your armor is dripping

Submit

Only 27 focus? No wonder Vyke got scorched by the frenzy flame

Submit

ds3 knight but edgier

Submit

It looks awesome, but I wish there were a version without the fingerprints. As things are right now, I'd only ever use this for a mad bastard type of build. Maybe even a Vyke cosplay.

Submit

The only thing about this armor that is missing, in my opinion, is the fact that, for an armor used by someone who uses so much deadly lightning, it has some really poor lightning resistance. It could have been a legit medium armor if its focus would have been on lightning resistance.

Submit

y this armor is probably the armor from the Elden Ring CD box art

Submit

is this the armor set on the poster of the background of the wiki?

Submit

My favorite armor set by far

Submit

I want to say this set bears a striking resemblance to the abyss watchers set and Firelink set from Dark Souls 3.

Submit

For some reason, the fingerprints on this armor actually grew on me after reading the lore a bit. I don't know, I think it's just cool wearing scarred armor like this. I'd still kill for a restored version, but this set has grown on me.

Submit

DS3 Knight's edgier brother.

Submit

I understand it's for lore reasons, and the set is cool as is, but I would commit a triple homicide for a version without all the poo

Submit

Probably the longest it takes in any souls game to look like the guy on the cover

Submit

Somehow Vyke seems to have managed to encounter the three fingers without taking of his armor.

Maybe he actually tried to slay it but failed.

Submit

Now I want "undamaged" version of this set.

Submit

This armor is the cover art of the game

Submit

got a feeling we might get a repaired version of the armor in a dlc

Submit

I missed this set before I started ng+, and now I have to go all the way back. fml

Submit

The only set to come close to the Sunset armor of DS3

Submit

Very similar to Fallen Knight, both thematically and visually. S+, coolest set in the game.

Submit

kinda gives me a Guts vibe without the headpiece

Submit

Submit

Pretty sure this is the guy on the cover of the game.

Submit

Pretty sure this is the guy on the cover of the game.

Submit

The marking patterns of this armor set match the markings of the frenzied flame on bare skin... Vyke's madness serves as a cautionary tale to all future tarnished.

Submit

best looking set in the game hands down

Submit

Wish it wasn't so late game, I like doing very vanilla first playthroughs, trying to match the appearance of the character from cover art/ promotional content as much as possible. Still better than Dark Souls III tho

Submit

Awesome looking set, really cool and subtle coloration all over it

Submit

The weathered knight look, raggedy shawl, unique fingerprint look and powerful lore behind it: S-tier fashion.
A bit of a shame the vambraces are part of the chest-piece and not the hand-piece.

Submit

i killed this guy , only dropped spear but no armor...

Submit

love this set, thinner compared to other knight sets and also asymmetrical, elden bling..

Submit

honestly really loving the scarf/cloak of the chest piece. really good elden bling set.

Submit

The Knight Set seems to be this armor set, but not crushed up. Really cool. Same weight and poise, similar stats across the board.
