Elden Ring players can obtain the Death Knight Armor Set in Shadow’s Tomb, a new location in the Shadow’s Tomb DLC. Players can head there by following the river after finding the hidden coffin in Shadowkeep.

This armor set is located in the Catacombs, so players do not need to complete the entire dungeon to obtain it. The dungeon has multiple elevators, and players need to pull levers to turn on the lights. Otherwise, players will be groping in the dark.

After the player pulls the lever that turns on the light again, jump from the ledge to the stairs. As you go up the stairs, you’ll see a piece of the railing broken off and a small ledge underneath. Drop down to the ledge and lean against the wall, then enter the room on the left to find the body in armor near the edge.

Players who want Death Knight gear need high attributes to fit in. Players need at least 40 Stamina, 40 Strength, 60 Agility, and 40 Faith. Vitality should also be around 50 to 60, and if possible, a few points of Spirit. Below is the complete Death Knight gear.

  • Death Knight’s Dual Axes – Right Hand Weapon
  • Any Seal Weapon – Left Hand Weapon
  • Death Knight Helmet, Armor, Gauntlets, Leg Armor
  • Millicent’s Prosthetic Limb
  • Sacrificial Sword Amulet
  • Rotten Wing Sword Badge
  • Fragments of Alexandria
  • Magic Potion Bottle
    • The crack covered by lightning
    • Thorn Crack
  • Golden Vow Mantra
  • Shabri’s Howling Spell

Players try to increase their stats as much as possible before a fight begins. Amulets can increase the damage of many attacks and skills, as can spells and the homemade Physick Flask.

Before the fight, chant two spells and drink the bottle. Then, swing wildly and dodge a few times until the enemy in front of you is dead. Keep an eye on your stamina bar, because it’s easy to get carried away and run out of stamina.
