The Gaius's Set is another heavy armor set added in Shadow of the Erdtree and is among the best overall from a defensive standpoint. While it isn't the heaviest set, it offers excellent protection against physical and fire damage, along with a high poise value. The only potential drawback is its specific appearance, which may not appeal to all players.

Players need to proceed through the Volcano Manor first until they get to the waygate teleporter that takes them to the Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy boss pathway. See the image below for reference, it's easy to reach through this area as it's part of the main explorable area in Volcano Manor.


Obtaining this set is no easy feat, as it involves defeating Commander Gaius , a formidable boss encountered at the back entrance of Shadow Keep. Gaius charges at players almost immediately upon entering the arena, making for a menacing battle. Interestingly, after defeating Gaius, players can't purchase the full set from Finger Reader Enia. To complete the set and obtain Gaius's Greaves, players need to search the area accessible after the boss fight and defeat the lone Wolf Rider enemy, who drops the final pi

As for weapon choice, the Eleonora's Poleblade does well against single enemies, but struggles against groups; use the katana or spear for those. The spear does well against massive enemies with exploitable blindspots, such as dragons, but its weapon art leaves the user exposed to smaller enemies/bosses with a high stagger threshold. The katana is good overall, so it’ll probably be one’s weapon of choice more often than not. Its drawback is that it leaves the user exposed if it doesn’t either kill or stagger the target with the opening series of slashes. In short, consider the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses and choose accordingly. The same goes for the Ash summons and the tears used in the Wondrous Physick. This build isn’t a guaranteed win every time, but it should make many encounters go much more easily once one gets used to it. So, why not give it a shot?


Briar Greatshield : The Briar Greatshield is a similar story, but a little worse than the Spiked Palisade Shield, only blocking 93% of oncoming physical damage while causing 70 points of blood loss per hit. Its overall stats fall short compared to nearly any Greatshield, and its particular weakness to Fire, one of the most common damage types used by elite and boss enemies, further limits its viability. It's quite disappointing, especially considering its gorgeously brutal appearance and how late in the game players can obtain

It will struggle to turn quickly, but the hitbox on its stomps and lava is surprisingly large, so it's important to react quickly even though the charge itself is slow. Only go for hits when necessary, roll into its sweeping attacks to take advantage of I-frames, and use these rare opportunities to get a hit or two in.

To find the Triple Rings of Light, head out of the Prayer Room in Elphael, Brace of The Haligtree, and jump down to the right. Go northeast and drop to the lower floor again to find the sealed room behind you. Use a Stonesword Key on the Imp Statue and open the chest to obtain the Triple Rings of Light .


Obtaining the Verdigris Set is closely tied to an NPC named Moore , who wears this armor. Players encounter Moore once they reach Belurat, the Tower Settlement. The set can be acquired by either killing Moore (he can invade if players kill a Forager Brood Pest) or by progressing through his questline, which ultimately results in Moore's death. Players can then retrieve the armor from his cor


A great heavy armor set that players can obtain in two variants throughout the game, the Banished Knight Set offers robust Fire damage negation, very high poise, and serious physical defense. What's even better is that this is one of the best armor sets in Elden Ring players can get very early in the game by farming Banished Knight enemies in certain areas, like the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Cae
