Maliketh's Set | Elden Ring Wiki

Dragoon from Final Fantasy :)

Submit

51 poise for the guts armour is ridiculous. Should be at minimum 80.

Submit

looks so much better if you replace the helm with the black knight helm

Submit

Always thought this is the most badass looking set except for two things. 1. The helm looks stupid, like why does it still have maliketh's fur lmfao;; 2. Stats on it should almost be doubled for how legendary it is. The boring ass knight set has better stats than this...Overall still the best drip in the game despite its flaws, imo.

Submit

I like to think of this armor as a special (kind of magical) piece of equipment different from others in that it can fit the wearer regardless of their size. When he goes into his second phase, Maliketh gets rid of his cleric clothes and this black armor materializes on him, sort of IronMan's style. How cool is that. Maliketh is just that guy, and I'll wear his armor and blade to beat the game for the last time. Best boss ever!

Submit

this and the royal knight set still have garbage poise for their weight, great balancing

Submit

Other than Maliketh's blade, what weapons look good with this set?

Submit

they finally added the real helm in the dlc, that being the black knight helm. looks really sick

Submit

One of my favorite armor sets in the entire game, if you exclude the weird ass looking helmet. It looked fine on Maliketh, but weird on our character. The gold compliments the black excellently, and I love the sharp, claw like fingertips on the gauntlets. I mainly wear this on my Frenzied Flame character and I really think it goes well with the whole FF aesthetic, especially in the ending cutscene with the flame head.

The armour's just designed for a quadruped, it just don't look right on some guy.

Submit

Very poor lighting resistance

Submit

Awww, kevin finally switched off of Radahn's set... to this

Submit

nearly identical stats to the Night's Cavalry set, but you give up physical, strike, fire, and lightning negation as well as immunity and some poise, in exchange for the tiniest amount of extra holy negation and more vitality. and by tiniest amount, I mean the chest piece offers 0.2 more holy negation than the night's cavalry armor and the other pieces are only 0.1 higher.

Submit

Literally the chest piece ruins it for me, it seems so bulky and doesn’t look anything like how the boss wore it

Submit

Submit

Can still see your chin with the helmet on
The armor doesn't give you the same midriff that Maliketh has
Why ever wear this armor? If it didn't give you Holy resist before the Beast it would never leave my storage box.

Submit

Everyone who wore Radahn's set for most of the game, changed to this at the end of the game.

Submit

My main complain is helmet. No eye holes, weird crack on the forehead and goofy hair that can't be altered(Hair was clearly part of Malekith's mane, did we scalp the poor fellow?). Sanguine Noble Hood is a good replacement

Submit

Maliketh looks so sick but this armor is goofy on us tarnished. The breastplate should have been a skanky crop top just like it is on the big boi.

Submit

And the reward for most out of place armor set in the game goes too

Submit

nuts from berk

Submit

This set is one of the reasons why I hope that Fromsoft in the upcoming DLC will introduce something similar to passive ashes of war for armor.

Submit

This set with Black Hood, black skin colour and the Flame Frenzy glowing yellow eyes. Finally I found my perfect fashion for this game.

Submit

If this just had an actual breastplate, I'd be in love

Something I don’t understand is that why a lot of the armor in the game, especially the ones on the heavy category, once you wear , it makes you look like you ate 40 Hamburgers. Like is it only me?, the chest pieces are to wide sometimes, obviously at the exception at those that are supposed to be like that. But others like Maliketh, blaidd and radhan set the legs and the arms are good, but the chest for some reason they are wide and bulky it makes you look silly.

Submit

This resembles the Day Armor from Castlevania much more than the Berserker armor

Submit

I'm sad this set is an almost direct downgrade of the Black Night Cavalry set, because it looks amazing but has very little reason to actually use it. I want Fashion Souls, but my brain wants actual functionality

Submit

Am I the only one who thinks the chest looks weird with all these mini-shield-things?

Submit

Oblivion/Morrowind Ebony Armor

Submit

255.6 physical damage negation!!!?? Liar ahead

Submit

helm should've been fully closed with beast's mouth to fully resemble Berserk's armor. such a ****ing waste...

Submit

it may be noob armor, but god is it sexy noob armor

Submit

typo in damage physical damage negation

Submit

This armor reminds me of Zephyr Prime from Warframe.

Submit

51 poise now

Submit

making your character slim af makes this armor look twice as good but there is still not a good helmet out there match, give the altering body a chance if you really like this armor

Submit

You think Gurranq wears this?

Submit

Just a PSA comparing this set to the Night’s Cavalry set, as they interestingly have the exact same weight values for every piece (and are both S tier fashion imo).

Night’s Cavalry: Significantly higher physical, strike, and fire damage negation. Higher poise and slightly higher immunity.

Maliketh’s set: Slightly higher holy damage negation. Immensely higher vitality.

All other stats are exactly the same. Realistically the only reason to use Maliketh’s set over Night’s Cavalry set is if you are going up against deathblight enemies due to the massive vitality bonus. The extra holy damage negation is negligible (0.5 for the whole set) compared to the extra physical negation of the Night’s Cavalry set, as there are few (none?) enemies that use ONLY holy damage. They either have split damage attacks or have separate attacks that do physical damage and holy damage individually. The main exception being enemy players using coded sword/cipher pata.

Submit

The armour sets have been a mixed bag all through the game, some are really good others a steaming pile of dog turds and that includes some of the armour sets worn by the shard bearers or landmark bosses that can be bought from Enia. Radahn's set has a really stupid looking helm reminiscent of the troll toys that were a kids craze in the 80s or if that was before your time, think massive twat. But the set at least has good protection and a higher robustness stat than any of the sets I have, even if immunity would have made more sense given the lore and enmity between him and Malenia.
I liked the tree sentinel set enough to respec a decent chunk of my VIG into END so I could use my preferred weapons and a bow without getting fat rolls. But the night's cavalry set is a massive disappointment It's one of the nicest looking armour sets in the game but has s**te protection and damage negation. They are powerful mini bosses and they don't melt from a couple of hard hits so when I got their set I was expecting it to be a good one but it's just about on a par with the mausoleum knight set. Which brings me to the point, the armour you can buy after killing that badass motherf**ker Maliketh has worse fire damage negation than the godrick knight set and the exact same damage negation for physical, strike and slash but a little higher pierce damage negation 12.9 on the Godrick knight set to 13.5 on Maliketh's. That makes zero f**king sense, how does the armour worn by Queen Marika's shadow-bound beast who according to the lore defeated the queen of the godslayers and locked away the power of the black godslaying flame have armour on a par with a basic knight's set you can get in Limgrave? I'm not whining because I want every nice set to be heavy armour there should be good armour sets for those who want light, medium or heavy armour. Or it would have been better if Boc could change each set according to any given players preference so instead of changing the flappy capes a player could choose to have a lighter tree sentinel set but with lower damage negation and protection.

Submit

berserk is that u ?

Tips for the next patch: stop nerfing characters and add a bonus for wearing a full set, specially the ones you get from a boss fight. The set looks coll but I see no reason to wear it other than fashion.

Maybe adding a bonus to the black blade's skill damage, range or speed or reduce its fp cost or something like that.

That goes for the other sets as well. Wearing a full set SHOULD ALWAYS give you an extra bonus.

Submit

Reminds me of the Daywalker Armour from the Netflix Castlevania show.

Submit

Besides the helmet I love it. Also looks so much like the Guild Wars 1 obsidian armor for warriors. If I could paint the Nox helmet black it would almost be a cosplay

Submit

Doesn't look anywhere near as sexy on us as it does on Maliketh, like they could've atleast had the exposed midriff, so disappointing.

Submit

Armor looks amazing on Maliketh and i was very exited to get it for myself.

Unfortunately for the player character the oversized helmet, huge shoulder plates and boring chest make the armour very disappointing.

Submit

Something between edgy and royal, somehow looks cool

Submit

why isn't it as skimpy on the player as it is on Maliketh, I want my crop top plate armor

Submit

Put on Lionel's chest piece to be McDonald's maliketh

Submit

The helmet feels empty, I wish it either was closed off more like malenias helm or they actually put a wolf head in it so the shape makes sense

Submit

Seems to reference Warhammer. If the name wsn't enough of a given, it looks like Maliketh's set.

Submit

I refuse to believe that tiny little curtain hanging off you by a thread gives 5 poise

Submit

raw item description

Submit

Why is this the "strictly worse" night's cavalry armor?

Both are black, they have the same weight, this just has bad stats.
Not that I really care, but as a big-boss armor I thought this would be a slight upgrade.

Submit

Looks like dragoon armor from FF14. Pretty cool.

Submit

That helmet looks great on Maliketh but if you wear it it just makes you look like an edgy furry. Rest of the set is drippy tho.

Submit

wish you could alter the helmet to remove the plumage, that way i could truly have berserker armor.

Submit

Greatsword+this set minus helmet+blaids helmet play as guts

Submit

It still smells like him :o

Submit

This armor will never look as good on you as
as it did on him...

Submit

guys i put this set on while using the greatsword on my strength build and went beserk! please send halp

Submit

the lowered the poise : (

Submit

After the 1.04 patch torso armor seems to crash your game if you attempt to put it on

Submit

Elden drip

Submit

i like having the helmet on the nights cavalry set it looks very cool

Submit

Why does it look so badass on maliketh but on the player it looks kind of dogshit

Submit

Set looks great but can make you look slightly anorexic.

Submit

This is the coolest looking armor for me.

Submit

A lot of people are complaining about the poise but consider this for a moment








It looks ****ing awesome

Submit

i love the set, but i wish the front part was slightly different

Submit

This set with the sanguine noble hood

Submit

Omg the poise is dreadful but the set is so pretty D:

Submit

The colors remind me of Damascus armor from monster hunter.

Submit

I love how damn near every set of armor has a cap, except the one armor set that scream long, flowy cape....

Submit

Am I the only one who thinks this armor looks like Guts' Berserker armor?

Submit

This gorgeous armor really needs a cape

Submit

I did finally beat him, but I lost count of the number of times I got him to like 2 or 3 HP with no issues and then he just one-shots me with some maniacal combo.

Submit

I wish there was a white/platinum version.

Submit

I hope the alternate version has a cape.

Submit

All of these people saying it looks like such and such have clearly never seen the black luster soldier from yugioh. Its dead on

Submit

Kain Highwind cosplay here i come.

krazy999 must be happy too tho

Submit

so sad how bad the set's poise is :(

Submit

Kinda giving me Gaia the Fierce Knight vibes from Yu-Gi-Oh

One of the sickest sets in the game. Needs a cape though.

Submit

I'm going to use this with the Marais Mask to cosplay Elric of Melnibone. Can use the guys weapon as Stormbringer too or maybe Blasphemous Blade.

Submit

The night cavalry looks more like berserk armor than this crap

Submit

Didnt ge tthe achievement for killing this guy for some reason, even tried helping out a couple of newbies with this, didnt work. Sucks, guess we'll do another playthrough!

Submit

Well, if I ever wanted to cosplay Malekith the Witch King from Warhammer Fantasy, here's my chance!

Submit

Looks more like Guts armor from Berserk than the Blaaid's set does. Imo.

Submit

Reminds me of Ebony armor from Morrowind and Oblivion.

Submit

if you don't like the helmet and want a hood instead, try the sanguine noble hood with this armor, matches perfectly

Submit

Helm is mixture of nameless kings crown with hair plus shadow head from ds2

Submit

looks similar to guts' berserker armor

Submit

Wait, THIS is perfect for my Final Fantasy lancer/dragoon build!

Submit

https://imghoster.de/image/9HPe here a screenshot of the armor. Not really pretty imo

Submit

The listed weight is off for the full set. It should be 30.5

Submit

The armor, gauntlets, and greaves looks sick af and make your character super built, unfortunately if you dont like the helm theres not much you can substitute it with besides the blood noble hood. Please tell me if theres a better alternative
