Armor | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

I remember seeing a helmet that looks a lot like Havel's, especially the visor, but is made of metal. I saw it in a randomizer so I don't know its name, but I really like the look. Does anyone know the name?

Submit

Coming back to Dark Souls 3 from Elden Ring I just realized how good it is when armor parts blend so well between different sets. In ER I'm struggling to find a fitting armor combination for some of my characters, in DS3 I have so many good combinations that I don't know which one I like more and switch between them a lot.

Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3 have so many beautiful sets of armour compared to how ugly most armour pieces in Elden Ring are

Submit

bro getting the black set was such a pain

Submit

DS3 was the first souls game I approached.
Because all of the hype about Elden Ring, I wanted to check if I can cope with the game play before buying.

I loved DS3.
It had opened my eyes to what I have missed all the years.

But instead of going for Elden Ring, I now went straight for DS1, becaue I wanted to know about all the hidden lore and references in DS3.

It was a good decision.
I love DS1 even better ... or rather in its own way :)

And know I value the armor sets in DS3 even more, as I came to know all the NPCs from DS1.


Great games!
I have a lot of fun and enterainment with them!

Submit

Really hated that they took away the ability to upgrade armor. And DS2 had better sets.

Submit

fallen knight helm, Vilhelm chestpiece, slave knight gauntlets, fire keeper skirt. I am so proud of this fashion for my character and just wanted to share it

Submit

I wish Fextralife would put in the extra effort of showing the armour for both Male and Female body type

Submit

okay who's got a mandalorian armor to spill? i wanna do a Din Djarin build with the Lothric spear and Black blade for the Darksaber, Arbalest for his rifle and Lothric crossbow for his blaster. so who has the armor to match the weapons?

Submit

okay anybody got a Mandalorian build they wanna spill? i was thinking possibly some crossbow for a gun and lothric sword (or any straight sword) for the main weapon. if we're going for Din then Lothric spear and a crossbow, black blade for the katana. just looking for armor advice thanks :)

Submit

Submit

Vilhelm's set mogs every other set from all 3 games dont @ me

Submit

Armor looks trashed! ds1 had stone knight set that looks very good, inds3 no armor that looks knightly

Submit

imagine being a trash casul and wearing any of these armors! unlike you I strap the epicly powerful PKCS to me self all over my body! It blocks all attacks and makes my attack damage triple when wielding my PKCS, plus i have actual POISE which none of you havel monsters have. Git Gud and strap PKCS to your body, you will becoem really epic!

Submit

It's funny how people say how DS3 is desaturated even though all of Miyazaki's games weren't based around that. Literally every game is based around a rotting fading world besides Sekiro. If you don't like the style, either quit complaining or don't play the game. This IS dark souls FYI. Go play WoW.

Submit

anyone got any advice on what armour would fit to make a dark knight look ?

Submit

It's actually missing a few, Such as the Ringed Knights armor in the pictures.

Submit

only thing i dont like is that theres no mask of the father or GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS. other than that most armor sets are pretty cool.

Submit

I actually think the dinginess and dirtiness of the armor looks much better in context than out of context, like the armor sets look fine in the games world but when you're just looking at screenshots it tends to look meh.

Submit

Man people LOVE complaining about the armor and weapons of this game.

I remember Demon's Souls with it's like 10 armors and weapons. I remember Sekiro with zero armor.
You guys are right the whole games trash because of it's armor. Pfft.
I still play Demon's Souls and I don't have a PS5. People are spoiled as hell.

Submit

That "so many time has passed" excuse for the awful status of most armors kind of falls flat when you get some sets in perfect condition, and some of them aren't even special. Nameless knight set, elite knight set, catarina set, havel set, dragonslayer set, brass set, etc... Are in the exact condition as i remember from dark souls 1.

They could have been more logical excuses like "hey, enemies here are more beast like cuz bloodborne copy paste and strike is common now, go for light armor". Idk, anything believable within the continuity. And even then there should be SOME difference between being naked or wearing rock plate armor, but whatever difference there is doesn't matter for how little it is.

Submit

guys i require help, im making a DEUS VULT build, i know cathedral knight helm but what else? i need some Knights Templar esque armor weapons. thoughts?

Submit

Other than the Alva, Artorias, Faraam, Black Iron and Fallen Knight sets most of these on here look pretty damn meh.

Submit

Dark set looks like the dude just got pulled out of a dirty ass shower drain

Submit

40/91 armor sets in this game are recycled from older souls games. That's almost 50%. That sums up DS3 as a whole, an unoriginal game too obsessed with "paying homage" and "referencing" the older souls games to be it's own unique experience.


Even worse, the armor sets that are actually unique all look like dogsh*t because they're all torn to shreds or worn out. The only armor in the entire game that looks clean and new is probably Herald Set and Solaire's Iron set.

Submit

Why is that they did not put many knightly looking armors? they just put armor that looks like socks and t shirts piled up on you am i right?

Submit

The comment below me is disliked by blind miyazaki fanboys who can't get over a day without following the stupid trend of "hate ds2 cuz miyazaki wasn't there".

Submit

These armors suck ass honestly. DS2 had better looking sets.

Submit

This shows all of the armor sets what about armor that doesn't belong in a set I need a list that just shows all the armor pieces in order

Submit

what is the best armor for the dancer?

Submit

I miss they brought Ciaran's set back or Hawkeye Goughs or the two characters themselves

Submit

If there would be a Yhorm Set i will wear it for my playtrough

Submit

I wish the crimson set was in this game

Submit

I don't get what they refer to with "fashion souls" when almost every cloth is as tattered as master's attire

Submit

While I'm fine with the hyperarmor system in this game, they definitely should have given heavier armor much higher absorption so they could actually be functional. If the Smough set had near 50% absorption in physical, it would actually be useful for something other than fashion.

Submit

You are only permitted to wear any type of apparel, be it armor or clothing, in both Dark Souls and real life if you exclusively use the Broken Straight Sword!

Submit

Why even bother with heavy armor? You re forced to roll through attacks anyway.

Submit

good....

Submit

No Gwyndolin set. 0/10 IGN.

Submit

Most of the armor is so grey and blandish looking in this game. I miss the vibrancy from the first two games :/

Submit

idk why i'm doing this but my top 5 armors based on fashion (my opinion).
1. Iron Dragonslayer set
2. Outrider Knight Set
3. Dragonslayer's set (Ornstein's Set)
4. DrakeBlood set
5. Lothric Knight set
Honorable Mention: Ruin set

Submit

Ds3 easily has the least amount of interesting armor sets for fashion souls. Not saying what they DO have is bad (black hand set with alva helmets is killer for royal knights or spellblades) but most of what it has is usually from the big boys, the bosses, and a scarce collection from elite enemies in the game, lothric and cathedral knights or the jailers for example. I miss some of the more bog standard stuff that still looked cool like ds2's royal soldier set maughlin sells you. Missed opportunities I say... ifnonly half the enemies weren't wearing a ****ing torn up dirty bed sheet.

Submit

How Useful Is Armor?
Like Is It Critical That I Use A High Damage Absorption Armor Or Can I Just Use My Fashion?

Submit

I managed to make Thanos in ds3 but I can't find a good armour combination anyone have any suggestions?

Submit

no father mask why :(

Submit

So does wearing a matched set of armor have any advantages?

Submit

Please add the CLANDESTINE SET In the list

Submit

where is the ninja set?

Submit

Guts

Submit

I love dark souls remastered because of all of its vibrant colors, cool ideas and awesome areas. That’s something you can’t get in dark souls 3. Every color is a mix of gray and everything is so bleak and boring. I don’t know if it’s just me but I know that the world is ending and all but why is everything so rotten and desgusting. All the armor hyped armor from dark souls remastered are all degraded and their defense is trifling.

Submit

PKCS IS THE BEST ARMOR IN THE GAME

Submit

hahahahaha. This comment section is full of idiots.

Submit

When the tryhards mimic ChaseTheBro's outfits and pointdown with 1500 unembered hp

Submit

GUYS guys,
silver mask + assassin armour + undead legion gauntlet + sellsword trousers
time for point down

Submit

I believe there was a writers Mistake about the Xanthous Set
In DS1 the Xanthous Set is worn by King Jeremiah, who, judging by his pyromancy and the appearance of his head most likely hails from Izalith
In DS2 he makes a minor appearance in the Chasm of the Abyss as Pretender to the Xanthous throne with all his usual gear but a smaller head, hinting that it might not be in fact Jeremiah himself
whereas in DS3 the Xanthous Set is suddenly associated with Scholars of the Sorcery School who study the magic of Oolacile and who seem to mimic Saint Elizabeth with their headwear but oddly the Set is also called Xanthous Set
that does not really make sense, I wonder if they overlooked this

Submit

I miss my bright yellow Xanthous set from DS1/DS2.
But it's a personnal opinion. Actually, I really like the fact that everything in this game is rusty, tattered, corroded. It makes sense since the world itself is ending.

Submit

Missing https://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Scholar+Set

Submit

I miss poise.

Submit

"Diminishing returns" is the reason why armor is useless in terms of functionality.

Submit

Heavier armours made useless because poise is turned off. And its especially poise that could've made a difference because damage reduction is so lame. Full Havel has only 5% more reduction compared to default knight armor wtf.

Submit

Ds1 had useful armor, ds2 had more fashion souls without making armor useless and in ds3... well, being full havel and being naked it's the same in terms of functionality and in terms of fashion, most armors are recycled/rusty/tattered/ugly and very few have good balance between defense/fashion, like the abyss watchers set.
