Knight Set | Elden Ring Wiki

The Claymore's scabbard and the Heavy Crossbow match so well with this set it almost feels like they intentionally designed them to go with this for a generic knight character, fashion-wise.

Submit

My favorite armor for being just an average Tarnished.

Submit

Can you alter the helmet on this to see your face

Submit

Listen i love basic knight sets as much as the next guy, and i know this MIGHT come off as complaining for the sake of complaining more than anything, BUUUUUUT...

The basic knight sets in dark souls 1, 2, 3 AND demon's souls completely **** on this one. Sorry not sorry.

Submit

8/10 set but would've been 10/10 if the right shoulder pad was smaller like dark souls elite knight

Submit

the people who think that this is somehow an unburnt version of vykes set are the same people who think that gurranq isn't maliketh and ranni isn't renna

Submit

Relax liberals, it's called poise-to-weight ratio

Submit

this guy f*cks

Submit

Those little blue textiles are the MVP here tbh.

Submit

i wish the breastplate was just a tiny bit less flat; but aside from that i appreciate the Extremely Normal Suit Of Armor fashion. Sometimes basic is good

Submit

Mfs put on this **** and be like "fashion souls"

Submit

Always loved getting summoned by players wearing this. A good ol' souls player ready to kick the ass of every enemy, hit every damn wall they come across, and then fall off some random cliff to their death. Bless.

Submit

For anyone wondering, this armor is perfect for PVE and PVP poise-wise in 1.10 if you aren't shooting to trade all the time. Stock, it hits the 51 poise mark, so general PVE stagger isn't a problem. Bull-goat's talisman brings the poise up to 68, which is good enough to keep you from getting stunlocked by most R1s from smaller weapons (daggers, straight swords, thrusting swords, curved swords, katanas, twinblades, axes, spears, whips, fist weapons, and claws) in PVP. Mix in that it is easily obtainable, relatively light, and generally decent to look at, and you've got probably the most functional armor set in the game. I think this makes it particularly good for spellblade knights, since you can space well with sorceries/incants and dip in for the occasional trade without getting absolutely obliterated.

Submit

this set is sooo good but that helmet bothers me so much.. if it looked a little better this set would be top tier

Submit

This with the Knight Helmet:

Submit

This with blue silver Mail hood:

Submit

all this armour is missing is a cape....a nice blue flowing cape made from the same material as the blue in the chest robes and this would be one of the most Elite looking armours in the game

Submit

Don't get me wrong I like this armor and it is by far the most realistic plate armor in the whole game. But man I wish there were more. Yeah it is a fantasy game and I do want high fantasy stuff too, but real history is full of so many cool and unique armors and helmets, hell the 15h century alone had so much plate armor variety they could have used just those for inspiration.

Submit

Absolutely the worst looking knight set FROM has ever designed.

Submit

This set with the Cuckoo Knight's helm is by far my favorite drip in the game.

Submit

It's simple and good. I like it.

Submit

It's not vyke's armor. Vyke's armor has holes in the lower part of his visor, this armor does not.

Submit

It took me way too long to realize that this is Vyke's armor before he got hugged by the Three Fingers

Submit

A domed breastplate and a good blue cape would probably make this the best "medium weight" armor.

Submit

My favourite set in Elden ring

Submit

The greathelm fits this set better than the default helmet

Submit

if only it has a cape..

Submit

poise, drip, protection. what more could you ever want

Submit

I do wonder why they always give the basic Knight Set OD poise to weight ratio. This one is no different, probably the best PvE set in the game.

Submit

The helmet of this armour just looks.. off.. like it's too small compared to the body, might just be me though.

Submit

People about to forget all about that random nobody Vyke, because they are gonna meet John Elden Ring

Submit

If you combine this with a Claymore, a Buckler, and both equip load talismans, you can actually light roll at 50 END. Basically you get the best of everything and make a middle of the road type of character. Jack of all trades. Elden shoto.

Submit

Is it just me or does this armor look like the demon souls armor

Submit

I believe that the Knight Set is what Vyke's armor looked like before he got touched by the Three Fingers

Submit

If you see this guy in the colosseums, just give up. He'll somehow parry you with the default parry on a medium shield every single time and dodge all your spells. Dark Souls boomers are simply too powerful. They've been playing these games like they're actions games for years now and are just built different at this point.

Submit

I almost got the full set but I just need the knight armor to finish it.

Submit

Love that this got buffed to 51 poise. If you use a light weapon that gets most of its damage from base dmg (vs scaling) you can light roll with this set at RL125 with Erdtrees Favor +2 and Great Jar Arsenal. Feels amazing to have light roll with decent def and 51 poise. Worth the END investment.

Submit

Isn’t it from an old Souls game?

Submit

wish there were more medieval looking plate armors. even this one has too much engravings

Submit

As of 1.07 this is a really good set for PvE. It already had good stats, but now it has 51 poise which is a very good breakpoint for PvE enemies.

Submit

A little drab, but when you wanna go for a real classic Chosen Undead look, look no further

Submit

The Blue-Gold Kite Shield was basically made to match this set.

Submit

it's the one

Submit

As of patch 1.07, the poise for this set is 51.

Submit

This is the new lightest armor that has 51 poise!

Submit

Notice it has the same design on the front as the Elden Lord Set. It would make sense for a Tarnished knight that fought with Godfrey.

Submit

How can someone breathe in that helmet?

Submit

Sir Oscar the knight

Submit

Beautiful armor but not as beautiful as the fluted armor from demon souls remake that’s the best knight armor I’ve ever seen.

Submit

If you put some thought into it. This armor could have very well use to belong to the prisoner class before they were imprisoned

Submit

Ol' Reliable.

Submit

this is definitely one of the armors

Submit

Legendary

Submit

40 poise isn’t enough to help against even a mere footsoldier or pro soldier in this game. So, don’t bother considering that as a factor for this armor. The Iron Set looks really cool, is way cheaper, has some higher resistance for at least one stat, and only a little less in the rest.

Submit

This set looks like the one a knight would wear

Submit

Simple but still fairly stylish

Submit

One of the armours of all time

Submit

Worthwhile armor that is easily accessible. You want the plainest armor as soon as possible? This is the true all-reliable like the longsword. Not the best armor by any means but definitely the baseline when you need protection for your character.

Submit

the scale on the cuirass is absolutely awful; insanely wide and makes your character's torso look like a potato

Submit

Not bad. Not as good-looking as the DS3 knight set, but it's fairly stylish and the individual pieces match with a lot of other armors.

Submit

This is the best looking armor in game. But like others have said it really lacks cloak

Submit

truly one of the armours of All Time

Submit

I think the knight set from the ps5 version of demon souls is the best looking knight armor throughout all the fromsoftware games.

Submit

Visually this is a nice, clean, shiny, and well maintained version of the vagabond set. Which begs the question of... where is the damn sexy cape for the Knight Set?

Submit

Should be called John Darksoul set

Submit

John Dark Soul, we meet again.

Submit

This + Longsword + Beast Crest Heater Shield = Elden John

Submit

ds3 knight set looked better

Submit

Nice armor, but one question: why does it look so W I D E?

Submit

This set + the ice crest shield and the darkmoon greatsword go well together, it seems almost intentional. I still wish the set had a bit more poise (47 for 5 more units of weight would be rly nice)

Submit

this is the armor

Submit

Combine this with the vagabond helm for the classic dark souls style

Submit

Just make your waist thinner at the mirror in the roundtable hold and this set becomes 10/10

Submit

this is the armor

Submit

this is the armor

Submit

This armor has crazy good weight to poise/dmg negation ratio

Submit

this is the armor

Submit

this is the armor

Submit

If the unarmored boots bother you, the Redmane Knight Greaves fit extremely well. Color and texture are very similar.

Submit

If the unarmord boots bother you, the Radahn Knight Boots fit exceptionally well with the rest of the set and can be acquired very early in the game.

Submit

this is the armor

Submit

Submit

It seems the Vagabond set is just this armor but heavily worn, its most telling in the chest piece which has the same blue cloth and engraving on the chest.

Submit

The wiki does't say this on the set page, but it costs 13.500 runes for the full set

Submit

Tiny head set

Submit

Bit of a tip if you want to wear this or heavy knight armor in general: Bring your character's body sliders all the way down. Like I'm talking low double digits. This will make them look much more athletic. With the default sliders, you'll just end up looking tubby instead.

Submit

Clean, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. Love it

Submit

the chad set

Submit

I love this armor! My only gripe though is that weapons that go over the shoulder (one handed) in idle animation makes the teal cloth clip through the right shoulder pauldron. When you see it, you can't unsee...

Submit

Be a lot cooler if we could add a clean version of the cape from the Vagabond set

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

The Slayer of Demons back at it again.

Submit

A nice clean metal set. Others may not like it for being simple, but I believe there's beauty in simplicity.

Submit

The Knight chest piece has the highest poise to weight ratio of any armor I’ve encountered thus far.

Knight 1.79
Blaidd 1.6
Cleanrot 1.53
Royal Remains 1.41
Raging Wolf 1.33
Twinned 1.33

The greaves are all also very high.
LEGS:
Bull-Goat 1.71
Knight 1.67
Crucible 1.67
Blaidd 1.65
Scaled 1.61
Cleanrot 1.39

HELMET:
Crucible 1.36
Blaidd 1.355
Scaled 1.32
Knight 1.3
Blackflame 1.25
Raging Wolf 1.13
Cleanrot 1.09

Submit

Look guys, it's John Eldenring.

Submit

Why does the mail shirt go over the caftan near the arms but under it near the legs

Submit

ready for another adventure, old friend?

Submit

I love this set but I wish there were more realistic simple armors like this like a gothic set or a 14th century looking set that uses a bascinet with klappsvisor

Submit

Wish the mail shirt was consistent. Seems to be over the blue caftan or whatever near the arms but under it near the legs
