Use our handy best Elden Ring armor sets guide to equip yourself with incredible equipment built to suit your playstyle.
Are you searching for the best armor sets in Elden Ring? In thisĀ RPG game, upgrading your armaments usingĀ Elden Ring smithing stonesĀ andĀ Ashes of WarĀ is just as important as leveling up your character. Elden Ring armor, however, tends to be overlooked by comparison ā many players spend several hours wearing the same equipment. Unlike in real life, however, not changing your clothes for days at a time is somewhat understandable in Elden Ring, as impressive gear is difficult to come by ā particularly in comparison to other methods of upgrading your build, likeĀ Elden Ring talismans.
The best Elden Ring armour is far from useless, however. There are some armour sets out there which come with powerful abilities, though their usefulness largely depends on what type of character youāre building towards. If youāve got a fashion-conscious Tarnished, Elden Ring makes it difficult to find armour that is both protective and stylish, but it certainly can be done if you know where to look.
There are three ways to earn armour sets in Elden Ring: repeatedly kill the same enemies until they drop their entire set, kill a specific enemy to earn all of their items, or find the equipment in a hidden chest. Hereās everything you need to know about the best Elden Ring armour sets, including where to find them and what bonuses they provide.
The best Elden Ring armor sets are:
- Twinned
- Beast Champion
- Cleanrot
- Godskin Noble
- Alberich
- Snow Witch

TWINNED SET
When it comes to picking stylish armour sets, youāll struggle to find anything as elegant as the Twinned Set. The medium weight armour set features a pair of gold and silver twins wrapped around each other to form a beautiful piece. The easiest way to acquire this set is to kill D Hunter at the beginning of the game ā you can find him near the first Site of Grace in Limgrave.
Killing D Hunter is the easiest way, but not the best ā we recommend completing FiaāsĀ Elden Ring questĀ line to receive the Twinned Set as a reward. If youāve killed D Hunter and want to complete Fiaās quest, you have to seek forgiveness at theĀ Church of Vows. Atoning for your sins brings D Hunter back to life, giving you another chance to complete Fiaās quest.

BEAST CHAMPION SET
Just like Dās Twinned armour set, you can obtain the Beast Champion set at the beginning of the game at the expense of a quest line later on. Bernahl is the NPC wearing the armour ā he can be found at the Warmasterās Shack Site of Grace, right between the Stormhill Shack and Saintsbridge.
You can acquire Bernahlās full armour set, along with the Devourerās Scepter. At this early stage in the game, you might find the Beast Champion set to be too heavy ā be sure to put a lot of stats into endurance if you want to be able to roll normally.
CLEANROT SET
The Cleanrot armour is tricky to acquire as each piece of the set is dropped by a specific enemy; this means you must fight against the same enemies repeatedly until you have all of the items. Head to the Aeonia Swamp in Caelid to find the Cleanrot Knights. This enemy isnāt particularly difficult to kill, but thereās plenty of swampy areas that can induce the Scarlet Rot status effect if you arenāt careful. You can increase your odds of discovering items by using a Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot, or by equipping the Silver Scarab talisman and the Silver Tear Mask helmet.
GODSKIN NOBLE SET
Want to show off your high faith build with Gandalf-like attire? There are two variations of the Godskin Noble armour set: a slimmer version of the robes can be found in theĀ CaelidĀ Elden Ring Divine Tower, and a larger set can be easily acquired by heading to theĀ bridge towards the Divine Tower of Liurnia.
In order to access the bridge, you need to receive theĀ Carian Inverted StatueĀ from Ranni during her questline. Place the statue on the pedestal at theĀ Carian Study HallĀ and make your way to the bottom of the tower. Open the large door to find aĀ Godskin NobleĀ enemy on the bridge; kill it to instantly receive the large Godskin Noble armour set.

ALBERICHāS SET
Alberichās lightweight armour set has been designed for mages, featuring red glintstones across the hat, robe, and bracers. This equipment also has a set bonus, increasing the damage of blood sorceries by almost 20%. Bear in mind that there are only two blood spells in the entire game, but that doesnāt matter because this set looks fantastic.
To find Alberichās armour set, travel to theĀ West Capital RampartĀ Site of Grace. Head down the stairs and turn left, descending down to the ground level as you face a large church. Enter the church and find the corpse at the end of the room, loot it to acquire this unique armour set.

SNOW WITCH SET
The Snow Witch armour is the hardest to find on this list, but it looks great and provides a set bonus which boosts the damage of frost spells. You need to complete a large portion of Ranniās quest, up until the point where you find the Cursemark of Death. This item allows you to travel to Rennaās Rise ā head to the upper floor of this tower to find a chest at the back of the elevator room. The chest contains the Snow Witch hat, robe, and skirt, giving you the option to select your favourite bracers to pair with this armour set.
Those are the best armor sets in Elden Ring. Once youāve picked out a great outfit, itās time to go crush someĀ Elden Ring bosses. To complete your armour set, you should find out what theĀ best Elden Ring weaponsĀ are to create the perfect character.
