Scaled Set | Elden Ring Wiki

My go to armour when I can't think of any cosplay/themed armour for a weapon I want to use. Good stats and visually fits decently well with almost anything

Submit

I have a question
Is the armor supposed to have dragon scales?
I find it curious that it only says scales and does not specify what type.
or are they hand made?

Submit

This that new tryhard set aka average pvp enjoyer

Submit

Yo what’s up chasethebro, guys here

Submit

altered jerrens helmet goes perfectly with this set. alter the chest piece too to match it more

Submit

I'mma be real with y'all, this may be the best armor in term of resistances + poise / weight ratio, but MARIKA'S TITS it looks so ugly. Like, the cape is ass, the torso alone doesn't fit with anything and the little pouches on the belt look so silly. Let's not even talk about the ill pelican's ass used as an helm, no wonder the Volcano Manor wanted to kill the dude that armor is a fashion crime by itself. Sorry ChaseTheBro and other YT pals, i know you like that armor but geez man there are other ways to reach the poise break points

Submit

i would use this set a ton if it didnt have the stupid duck hat

Submit

this is one of the few sets that you genuinely can't find any fault with besides the goofy helmet and tattered cape

Submit

Except for the fact that the helmet is missing a visor, I really love how historically accurate this armour is while also incorporating fantastical elements with its dragon scales (200 IQ idea, since dragons are said to be immortal). As it stands, this is my favourite set in the game (helmet included), and the only reason why I don't use it is because the banished set is a bit better in NG+ cycles. This is also one of the very few sets with actually high lightning resistance, something to keep in mind if you're facing a lightning wielder in pvp. Here's hoping that we get more amazing sets like this in the DLC.

chasethebro set

Submit

These boots are perfect replacement for the Banished Knight armor ugly duck shaped foots, its nearly in the same weight category with similar stats so it stays consistent, alternatively Altered version of the banished knight helmet is very good replacement for this set's helmet since they are the same color

Submit

The armor looks amazing with the iron helm.

Submit

this armor tends to get a pass because it's not the best armor but lets be real, it's tryhard armor for tryhards

Submit

Looks good with Blaidd's greaves for a more scrappy look. Leather boots instead of full metal armor.

Submit

The marionette bird helm (avionette) actually looks amazing with the the chest armor. It hides your ugly face and the corroded metal texture matches perfectly. Also the gauntlets and legs from the Iron set look great with this combo if you don't want to be fully-armored.

Submit

Why does the cape add 3 poise lol... Can't get to 81 poise without a helmet and the unaltered chest piece. Mildly annoying.

Submit

I wish there was a clean version but this armor still looks great as it is.

Submit

Fantastic poise and protection for how light this armor is.

Submit

Can someone explain to me why people don't like the helm while loving the set?

Submit

Just stick the raging wolf helm on this thing and call it a day.

Submit

Tbh I feltt bad cuz he was my first co op summon.

Submit

Good fashion if used with no helmet and dual lances

Submit

My second favorite armour set just after Veterans Set. Used it for such a long time, the Greaves and Gloves match any different armours, and surprisingly the Bull Goat Greaves and Kaiden helm, Banished knight Helm along with tons of other stuff match this set

Submit

My current favorite helmet with this set is the unaltered Banished Knight Helm. One of the few sets where you can have both a cape and the scarf from the helm at the same time. Sweet drip and decent poise.

Submit

Very good armor for the weight. Can easily reach poise breakpoints. The helmet is kinda ugly though. Pair it with either of the Hoslow helms or the Marais mask for a more stylish look.

Submit

Scaled Gauntlets and Scaled Greaves look good with basically everything and have amazing Negation and Poise to weight ratios. I personally recommend the Banished Knight Armor alongside any Helmet that has 5 or more Poise alongside a Bull-Goat Talisman, you'll have a minimum of 88 Poise which is enough to not get staggered by a majority of the medium weapons, such as two-handed Heavy Thrusting Sword R1s, one-handed Hammer R1s, Powerstanced Dagger, Whip, Fist, Straight Sword L1s, etc.

Submit

Just so everyone knows this is actually the best armor set in the game. Here is why:
1) Has very high non-physical resistances
2) Physical resistance is around 30% which is the highest you can get with armor (bullgoat max's out at 34% for slashing-most common damage type)
3) Very lightweight for 'heavyweight' armor

***Only downside is the helmet is butt ugly.

Submit

Bags drop this set from "somewhere in top 10" to 30

Submit

The Great helm and the Altered Banished Knight Helmet are fantastic alternatives to this set's helmet if you're like me and you love the set but dislike the helmet

Submit

Ignore whatever you may see on TikTok - it is NOT safe to put Alva in the microwave

Submit

It looks pretty good with the snow witch hat, for any mage or witch cosplayer that is looking for poise but also fashion.

Submit

Elden ring devs try to make a cool looking helmet challenge (impossible)

Submit

I’ve been inspired to do a Don Quixote build with this, the lance, a greatshield, and lordsworn straight sword

Submit

Looks good with greathelm

Submit

For those having moral doubts about obtaining this set (like myself initially):
Don't think Volcano manor is by any means worse than Gideon himself (i.e. Albinauric village). The roundtable hold is quite problematic itself as indicated by the interaction with White Mask Varre.
If I remember right, the assasination targets are all fundamentalists abiding by the will of the two fingers and fighting those who don't.
So unless you're going for an ending upholding the rule of the two fingers... hunting for Volcano Manor is actually fine and well in line with Ranni's questline and other possible endings.

Not a lore expert, so feel free to point things out. Just my justification why my good-guy Char can slap other tarnished without any mental scars. xD

Submit

I wish so much that there was a set that looked like this, but didn't have the scales. The fashion would be off the charts!

Submit

Poise is now 71 total. 11 head, 33 chest, 7 gauntlets, 20 legs.

Submit

Hoslow's/Lionel's helm looks really good with this, Hoslow's for lighter weapons and Lionel's for heavier weapons

Submit

I don't wanna register to make edits, but FYI Tarnished is misspelled at the top.

Submit

"highly effective against non-physical attacks", does anyone know by how much exactly?

Submit

If only the helmet could be closed and in the style of the Iron Helmet from Demon's Soul *chef kiss* => https://demonssouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Iron+Helmet

Submit

bro this with Alva's helm would make me nut

Submit

The armor doesnt look bad at all, but the way you get it... Ugh... Why does the player have to be a murdering ******* just to get the drip?

Submit

Dual handbags for all the boiled crab that you'll be carrying and consuming.

Submit

For fashion I'd recommend using this set with the Kaiden Helm. Feels like a good match as that helm also has scales in it (the portion covering the back of the neck that is). For hands and leggins use whatever you prefer. I just use this set's hands and legs.

Submit

Not a fan of the helm but looks amazing otherwise

Submit

I was balancing weight and defense with radahn set + some cape or by removing side weapons, then I got this armor that has a great magical defence, awesome poise, lesser weight, goes good with banished pieces (I use the arms), looks cool af moreover with the twinbird shield on his back. Just love it

Submit

Much like the Fallen Knight armor in DS3, after I get this I'm never willing to change the chest piece out even if I have the free weight for something stronger. Just looks too good from behind (that's what he said). Same goes for the wolf/Blaidd helm.

Submit

Can't really go wrong with this set tbh. Great poise-to-weight ratio, great resistances, and most importantly, it's got drip.

Submit

very sick set. looks straight business with a longsword on your hip or bastard sword at your back.

Submit

I really like this set with the great helm.

Submit

Best armor in the game imo. Looks amazing, reasonable weight means all builds can wear it, and has great negation, and particularly high non-physical negation for metal armor, and you can use it with bull-goats talisman to hit necessary poise breakpoints for pvp. I wear this, altered, with either the crimson or cerulean hood for peak drip and excellent stat spread. I also use the boots or gloves with any other armor i'm trying out to balance out weight and negation. I really can't praise it enough.

Submit

To me this is the best set in the game, by changing one or two pieces you can make this work with every kind of build there is, peak bling.

Submit

A perfectly fine set. Good weight, good poise, good looks. Replace helmet with Banished Knight's Altered Helm, and it looks even better, while giving you 56 poise to tank through 2h light weapon (katana, straight sword, etc) hit. It's really great.

Submit

If you look closely this is actually the box cover armor.

Submit

The definitive "Overused sweaty set". You know you're up against some basement-dwelling bozo when you see someone using this set and no helmet. My brother in Christ, your character is not "beautiful", you just look like a failed NPC. The real purpose of character creation is to make the most concave abomination known to man

Submit

Most importantly, gets you over the critical 50+ poise requirement! Makes you much more resistant to stagger than most other armors!

Submit

In my opinion the best armour in the game.

Stats to weight average, it wins hands down. Plus it looks amazing.

I just wish FromSoft would allow colour palette changing and more in depth customisation than we get and also not have it affect our defences.

Submit

The Alva set of elden ring.

Submit

Best outfit <3

Submit

The great helm works really well with set.

Submit

Try using the greathelm with this.

Submit

Veteran's Helm goes pretty nicely with the rest of this set.

Submit

Yuras or White Reed mask, also white mask fits well.this set reason why I'm using it, it has nice clean silver kook, not so heavy not so light and offers amazing defenses ratios for its weight. Only changing this set once I get Mt vigor to 60, 47 atm.

Submit

goes super well with banished knight helm

Submit

I'd like to not commit murder of an npc I know literally nothing about, but the drip is strong.

Submit

This is a good example of one of my favorite types of helmets: the burgonet. This is an open faced version and the banished knight helm is a close faced version. I wish I could get a variant of this without the scales so it would match better with other armor sets.

Submit

Like some others here my go to is the scaled set with the blue cowl- so awesome

Submit

The Blue Cloth Cowl from the Warrior set also matches the colors pretty well

Submit

Damn i wish that cape had the same cyan color as the armor belt.

Submit

Surprisingly heavy despite its looks. It's heavier than Crucible, but lighter than Radahn & Tree Sentinel.

Submit

I use this for my Fashionsouls on my Dragon Communion character. The Drake Knight set (yikes that helmet) is more dragon-y but I use this for the look and the stats. The blue and red hoods look great with it. Sadly they don't cover the shoulder like normal with this set, but still looks great.

Submit

Hands down the best armor for early game, defense, poise, and minimal endurance stat investment to wear this + your weapons.

Submit

I was doing really imposing fashion bling with Blaidd's armor + Great helm bucket on my head, I mean I did like the looks but had to switch to that set because the stats are oh so good for it's weight.

Submit

one of the best armors, for its weight it has great defense values and also looks good

Submit

This has better element defenses than some heavier armor. Also looks sick with the black hood from the black knife set.

Submit

One of the best armors for its weight if you ask me

Submit

does this armor scale?

Submit

rathian

Submit

The armor set just disappeared from my inventory , wtf . Has this happened to anyone as well?

Submit

really high poise for that weight

Submit

With the most recent patch, the greaves appear to be invisible. Hopefully resolved soon as this set is solid for its weight and good looking!

Submit

This armor is found in the volcano manor questline after defeating the first invader

Submit

First target of the volcano manor drops the whole set

Submit

I also found that you can buy the chest piece from the traveling merchant outside of castle more

Submit

This set can be found when killing the first of three invaders in the volcano manor questline.

Submit

Holy **** this is the armor from the cover of the game! The flagship armor has been found! Looks like the helmet is different though…

Submit

do they drop the amor, if you kill them ?

Submit

Like the other comment, this is obtained from Old K***ht Istvan. Go to Volcano Manor, get that letter, get to that location, and get that jail sentence for murder. It'll all be worth it for that Scaled bling.
