Just an FYI for any new players, you can farm for armor drops of ANY human-like enemies armor set. The knight captains, soldiers, big viking guys armors, any of them. There's a lot of armor in the game, it's just that most come from random enemy drops, I actually counted and found 87 armor sets, 20 unique helms and 5 unique chest armors. in Limgrave and the weeping peninsula alone there are 14 armor sets and 5 unique helmets you can find in and Liurnia Lakes there are 19 armor sets and 8 unique helms.

The dragon communion church in Caelid is a good early place to farm the nearby banished knight's armor, shield, and sword since he's right next to the grace site and all alone. Btw, banished knight armor is weird in that it has altered forms, but you and Boc can't alter it. This spot has the altered armor and unaltered helm. Castle Sol (way later) has the counterparts. The unaltered forms have slightly better stats. Strategy: The knight spawns walking out the front of the church, so it's easy to sneak up behind him for the crit. If you're at low level, I recommend holding two heavy weapons and jump attacking to stagger the dude. It won't matter if you're at heavy load for this farm because the goal is to stun lock instead of dodge. Shielding isn't as good because he has fire breath and whirlwind attacks.

Fun moment for me. I forgot I had parry on my shield, someone summoned me, they got invaded, they ran straight up to me and I accidently parried them. I am a really bad parry player, so for this I did the applaud emote as soon as the critical animation ended. To top it off, when I did the applaud emote, the invader rolled backwards straight off a cliff. So it worked out so perfectly, but nothing except the applaud was intentional.

The buckler is how I learned to parry and practiced on the Crucible Knights.

I still use it even mid to late game. It's physical defense is unrivaled for a big part of the game and if you go to the Church of Dragon Communion in Caelid then you can farm the unaltered helm which is better than the one you can find in stormvale castle. It's also more fashionable.

The Guardian set is pretty nice and there are several places to farm for it in early game (pretty much around any Minor Erdtree). The mask and bracers also pair well with other chest pieces. The pieces have good stats for Immunity, Focus, and Vitality though some of them are a bit on the heavy side.

Just to help anyone with the invisible scarabs I found the easiest way is to mount torrent, stop somewhere in the path of the scarab and then hold your charged attack as it approaches. The scarab will run into your weapon as it’s down in charging position if you time it just right.

Thank you for the quality content and please keep the good work.

Thank you sir! I used your weapons video and now this one. you make it fun to watch and very easy to watch without dumping a bunch of time into learning everything.Thank you 🙏

Just as a tip for my fellow tarnished who may be newbies like I am to the game; I found dual bleed greatswords worked well against him. Jump attack as he comes in, execute your combo, backroll out of his aoe. Rinse / repeat. Use potions as needed on the backroll if you get caught. Watch out for the aoe, it hits like a truck, but has a slight delay so you can dodge it pretty easily so long as he doesn't catch you sleeping. Good luck!

Carian Knight set is gorgeous. My favourite in the full game is Mohg’s robe with the ronin helmet however

It should bt notes that the Knight set from the Twin Maidens in Roundtable Hold gets you exactly 51 poise while being very light. An excellent value for tanking an enemy hit to keep doing whatever you’re doing.

Great guides! I subbed. Just started playing this game. I got the Uchigatana and I love it. Now lets get the early armor!

Love your videos Dom! That invisible scarab smack was epic!

The set in village of the A is really good too and makes you immune to dying from poison which at this level helps

Sky Shot is so handy for the Liturgical Town. Most enemies, in fact. Hide behind a barrier whilst still locked on + fire arrow(s) = victory.

Farm the Banished Knight that patrols the area down the stairs close to the Rampart Tower Site of Grace in Stormveil Castle. With a decently upgraded Bloodhound's Fang (you can get it to +5 easily) you can do it a few times per minute. Just get him from behind as he moves away from the bottom of the stairs towards the archway and crit him before he turns, following immediately with a Finesse as he gets back up and he should go down quickly. Rinse and repeat a few dozen times and BAM! full Banished Knight Set before the first Demigod.

Great walkthrough, 10/10

thumbs up for the mounted drive by scarab kill!

When you’re in the lake of rot, if you don the mushroom set, use the best possible talisman to boost your immunity to rot, and use the proper type of cured meat, it still only gives you about 10-15 extra seconds before you’re stricken with scarlet rot, compared to not using any protection. I wish the protection options we have were better.

Bro thnk u u r so kind … i instantly liked the video bcz of ur introduction

Just started the game and the vids are great!

If you're having trouble beating Istvan, here's some tips. If you have to heal, get your distance from him to bait out either his jump attack or gravity sword art and use the long animation of those attacks to heal. His gravity attack can be rolled away from in the first few frames if you're fast enough. Despite that the purple gravity wave appears on the ground, it can't be jumped over. It will still pull you in if you're midair. Don't expect to hit him with any combos. Hit him once and get some space or use only guard counters with the heater shields or other 100% physical shields. Use a fast weapon, he is fast enough to hit you when you before your guard counter swing. I personally can't parry him or backstab him, but maybe someone out there can. I'd say guard counters are gonna be your only option. Don't forget to pick up your runes between fights.

Best armor set in the game for me is the banished knight set. Has some of the highest defenses of any armor in the game, and you can get it's parts super early as the enemies it drops from are in stormveil castle. The only downside is it's on the heavy side, but it's sheer defensive values more than make up for it. It's also one of the cooler looking armor sets in the game as well.

I like the look of some of the banished knights pieces, but I always find myself going back to the Crucible axe/tree armors. My main build power-stances with Guardian's Swordspears and I like to include a buckler + misericorde for parry crits. Crucible armor has a significantly better poise to weight ratio than any other heavy armor set in the game, so it's the only way I can reach the 69 poise threshold while staying medium.

You missed the Beast Champion set. You can get it by killing Bernahl in the War Master Shack. It takes a lot of weight to use, but it's very strong, expecially for early game.

I'm surprised the Twinned Armor wasn't included here. After my first play through I've always gunned it to Altus Plateau for one item or another, and resting at any grace up there progresses the story enough to get the set (without slaying D).

The tree sentinel armour set is also a very good option, I remember it being one of the first armour sets I had found despite it being in Auriza Hero's Grave on the outskirts of the Royal capital. It's quite a challenge traversing the dungeon however, it is possible to get the armour by activating a Margit's shackle, bought from Patches in Murkwater Cave or the Twin Maidens Husks after giving them Patches bell bearing, at any point in front of the Chariots. It requires zero bosses from the start of the game as long you use the Dectus Lift to get to Altus Plateau.

Started my ER journey the same way I usually did my DS2 ones.. getting the big bonk greatsword along with a mace, but not having any idea what armor to wear. Went to the Roundtable, got my hands on the knight set, played about quarter of my entire playthrough wearing it.. not realizing that this set is PERFECT in the fact that it has exactly 51 poise, the recommended absolute minimum for PvE that can let you withstand most of the light attacks in the game. Typically, Leyndell difficulty spike got the better of me, and that was after I stopped using the knight set. Started using it again after defeating Vyke on the mountaintops, this time knowing it also has exactly 51 poise which became my current fashion (especially fitting since I did the frenzied flame ending, but not before doing save backups to get the achievements for the other endings lmao) Seriously, just get the knight set if you don't plan on light rolling, it can make your life easier without realizing it

Loved having some good early game suggestions. I think the banished set is easier to get than the scaled set by an incredibly wide margin. It also provides better protection.

I suggest using a speedup instead of cutting out portions of the trip.

Appreciate the content as always. My early additions: Tree sentinel armor - If you're going to the altus plateau early, dip in the hero grave with a shackle. Use the shackle to cheese the chariots. I recommend the medallion over magma wyrm. You can nab the sore seal while getting one half. Bloodhound and gelmir knight armor - run into the gelmir hero grave and take out the lone bloodhound knight for both sets. He is super cheesable with the craftable fire pots. Clean rot - the lone clean rot knight close to the site in eastern garlic swamp.

They may have nerfed the Mushroom Set somewhat as I recently used it and while it slows rot down it is a long way from stopping it.

If you feel like doing the ridiculous run to go get the key to enter Raya Lucaria and run halfway through the Academy, then the Carian Knight set is badass looking and has decent defense that will serve you well into mid game even further depending on different things. It can be done as early as you want, even before beating Margit. Usually I'll farm some early sets off Knights or other enemies.

An awesome moment for me was I am terrible at dodge timing, a was facing the tree sentinel in limgrave, we both had 1 hit left and I used the blood hound fang skill to dodge his strike and kill him

17:00 Just a head up mate, you can break the poise of Ishtvan with a combo of ancient death rancor and any multi hit ash of war, Stance of Night and Flame being both the best for hit count and damage. Also, the skulls from Ancient Death Rancor will stun him for a half sec each, holding him down essentially for the sword beam.

You were right about the dlc!

Gave a like and subscribe just for the invisible scarab kill.

Another good but not pretty early piece of armor is the tabard dropped by the hat wearing gray grunts in limgrave. It has nice balaced stats for its weight and high immunity making it a good option for poison and rot areas.

i think there is a third way to get up to the Atlus Platau and iirc its by first taking a detour to the Volcano manor by dying the iron maiden enemy in the academy at the bottom of the lift. then try get out of the Volcano Manor and ride eastwards.

This wasn't in Elden Ring but I had an incident like your scarab one shot in GTA Online. Another player was trying to kill me and was flying on one of those hovering, flying motorbikes and by sheer fluke, I shot him as he was zooming down in an arc towards me!

Istvan’s gravity magic was such a pain at lower levels.
