Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree introduces the Death Knight Armor set which not only lets players look like the awesome lightning-wielding Death Knights but also buffs the skills and Incantations of the Ancient Dragon Cult. If you want to enhance some of the best lightning abilities in the game and look like a menace while doing it, then read on to learn how to find the Death Knight Armor set in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
Where to find the Death Knight Armor set in Elden Ring
The Death Knight Armor set can be found in the Darklight Catacombs in the Scadu Atlus region. Here’s how you can navigate the Darklight Catacombs to find the Death Knight Armor set:
- Starting from the Darklight Catacombs Site of Grace, make your way to the first elevator of the dungeon.
- Enter the first room after the elevator and look over the ledge. You’ll see an opening into a room below with a long ladder. This isn’t how you’ll enter the room with the armor set, but it’s where you’re going.
- Head toward the second set of stairs in the room which turns left. Before the stairs, there will be a broken railing just wide enough for you to fit through. Look down and carefully drop to the ledge below.
- Before walking into the room, take note of the Imp hanging from the ceiling directly over the doorway. Deal with him however you’d like, then dispatch the sorcerer in the right corner of the room.
- On the left side of the room, there will be a corpse of a Death Knight that you can loot for his armor set.
Each piece of the Death Knight’s Armor provides a 2% damage boost to all Ancient Dragon Cult skills and Incantations in Elden Ring such as the Bolt of Gransax, Blinkbolt, and the new Knight’s Lightning Spear.
The set itself is on the medium end of the armor spectrum so you won’t be sacrificing too much for the sake of an 8% damage increase. This set provides a base Poise of 47. If that’s too low for you, consider swapping out one of the pieces to get over the 50 Poise threshold.
