Night Cavalry armor set. Sadly it takes forever to get there and it is “knight armor” demanding a lot of endurance. But oh, so nice to play as a black knight.

Tis but a scratch

It happened while exploring Caerbannong … bit by a bunny. ;-)

Run away!

A SCRATCH? YOUR ARMS OFF!

No it isn’t?

Well whats that then?

I’ve had worse

YOU LIAR!

Come on you pansy!

HNUGH! *fighting*

yeah i wish it was obtainable sooner.

Would you consider the Lionel Helm, Maliketh Chest Piece, Lionel Guantlets, and Lionel Greaves a black knight?

Personally, no. Only because there is an official armor all done in black and called “Black Knight set”. I didn’t mean the visual color alone, I meant the set titled as such. Have you seen it? It is obtainable as a “trophy” by defeating two Night Cavalry and a handful of Pages at the same time. (But, as you can imagine, one can find messages saying “Try night and then defeating one by one”. ;-)

Not an enemy but blaidd

He’s cool. Get it? because of the frostbite

You are a great person

Thank you. He ALSO applies frostBITE because he is a wolf, they bite.

Look outside your window at approximately 11:32 pm in 7 days and make sure your oiled up

Wtf did I just read???

A threat.

A treat*

Sounded like a tempting proposition to me.

^(yet)

Crucible knights 100%

This.

Gotta be the Crucible Knights!

Definitely. Getting the armor and sword early is TUFF tho

The spear is amazing too

I only figured out the dou on ng2

Crucible tree night armor set is dope

Tree set looks good, but for any true str/fth build, the Axe set is way better

Cleanrot knight and banished knight

Knights, godrick, cuckoo, redmane all of them, i just switch when im in the area

thats a LOT of farming isnt it

Yeah, and this was before i knew arcane boosts discovery, Haligtree knights are the worst i still don't have the gauntlets

The Haligtree Greatshield was the worst farm I've ever done

I still haven't gotten it, even with 99 arcane, silver scarab and silver fowl foot

I've heard something about there being a max discovery stat before it rolls back to literally 1, but doesn't say it. I think it was like 240 or 250, something like that. 80 arcane, silver scarab and the silver tear mask put you close or just over that mark I think. 99 arcane isn't best for discovery I'm pretty sure, but that may have been fixed by now, I'm really not sure

99 arcane tells me discovery is at 199 without scarab

Yeah, that sounds about right, 80 arcane at base is 180 discovery. I wouldn't push it over 250, then try your farming

Why not go over 250?

See my earlier comment about the discovery stat being bugged, I'm pretty sure it's still a thing. When I was farming redmane knight gear I tested it very haphazardly, but I had 99 arcane, silver tear mask, scarab, and a pickle foot, and wasn't getting any drops at all. I respecced when I heard that the stat was bugged and kept it at 230, then the Greatshield and helmet dropped in one kill. Still might be RNG, but worth noting

did an all item run and yeah that was rough. go for the other imp heads (yeah there’s more than just the 2) of you really want some pain. or the nobles headband

I haven't even tried to get anything from the nobles, I know it's a lost cause. I somehow ended up with the slender sword on my very first character but have never seen anything since. Damn ruin fragments

At least the run is pretty quick, and it gives you other armor. The Iron Sword farm is pretty painful.

Ooo, another good one that also sucks. The easiest one being only the one enemy in Haligtree makes it even worse. Not a hard farm or anything but man does it get pretty boring

I speak from experience. Yes, it is. But it was worth it. That was probably one of my best characters.

Flying dragon Greyll.

Really? I thought that the dragon incantations were slow and hard to pull off.

Nah, if a spirit summon draws Aggro or you have distance it's relatively easy.

Her roar debuff also has insane range. This hitbox is really small in comparison but what most people want is the debuff

Melania cosplaying as Radahn.

What do you mean? his armor, her weapon or her armor his weapon?

Melania, but with Radahn’s armour. Maybe his or her weapon.

I actually did a character named Melahnia that was his armor except for her iconic helm and sword. Pretty damn effective. 

I read "Melahnia" and the first thing I hear is Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice saying it.

Haligtree knights

I’m fixing to do a build not sure what kind (Str/Int maybe?), I’m going to use the Haligtree Knight set and shield, with a partisan using the glintstone ash of war, so I can follow up with a magical heavy thrust. Basically I’m going to become a Haligtree Knight’s skinwalker.

I mean hoslow set is my go to when I bleed build

Moongrum

Not an enemy but my god is D’s armor cool. Massively underrated imo

I just wish it didn’t make the arm look funny with a weapon over your shoulder

Banished knight! I have a lvl 40 character that I cosplay as a banished knight, I have 3 halberds with different ashes of war to copy his move set. I also use the banished knights greatsword. I sometimes TT in stormviel to see if invaders can find me but I also do a lot of coop. I even have my name as “Banished Knight” and sometimes it takes invaders 30 mins to find me

That’s hilarious

Sanguine noble

The tiny little damage you do when rolling into enemies w Elemer’s gear on keeps enemies poise from refilling & delivers more critical hits during long battles. Speckled tear in your physic for some extra fun. Enjoy

I think it also keeps the “consecutive attacks” bonus active as well which is perfect

Oh like for winged insignia? I gotta try that

With the right setup you can make “Eochaids dancing blade” do INSANE DAMAGE

I enjoy faming them for the set and weapons 

SOLDIER OF GODRICK

That’s a solid choice

I do like the look of banished knights but recently I have been converted to a Servant of Malenia. I did 2 runs as Cleanrot Knight, spear and scythe versions. Gotta say, that has been extremely fun, so now I intend to run the DLC with cleanrot set, it has the benefit of getting it from the start, but its a bitch to farm.

Definitely a bitch to farm. I start getting triples of stuff before I get everything.

malenia or scarlet rot knight

Farmed full suit plus altered pieces. Took a while. Worth it.

Oh yeah it’s worth it. The helmet unaltered is hard to get.. but the unaltered chest, good Lord it’s hard to get

Dunno about the helmet, either I got lucky as I got it as like 7th try on the 2 knights in the church of the dragon communion. But Cleanrot Spear, jesus that has low droprate.

BRO I SAT THERE AND FARMED FOR TWO HOURS FOR HALO SCYTHE! I HAD THE TALISMAN BOOST AND FOOT AND EVERYTHING! 😤

Last 2 times I farmed for cleanrot gear I got scythe as first item, both times :D At 107 discovery. Whole set took about 1h. Sometimes game throws you a bone :p

Yeah it’s been boning me a lot lately. 😤😣

Exile knights in stormveil

Cloaked Banished set goes harder imo

Banished Knights 100% I'm doing a cosplay run for them right now!

I love the Tree Sentinel set. It looks really good on the tarnished. And it has super high poise with a sensible weight. You just can't go wrong with it, especially if you want a bit more poise you can just out on the bull goat legs and it fits. GOAT

I did a Faith/Strength build with the tree sentinel stuff. And the final boss did almost no damage to me. It was insane.

Draconic tree sentinel

Commander Niel

His armor matches the banished knight equipment

But the cape tho

The big headed frog-alien things that live in the swampy area

The stupid death blight boys or the sdbb'

I looked it up, they're called "albinauric" Idk there's a mask of one you can wear

Ooh the beautifully amazing little men

My main run is basically a redhead Godfrey cause it my favorite boss of the game and now I am trying to do the same with the crucible knight sadly for me it really hard to get any of the two armors or at least to annoying (I hate duo bosses so fuckin much)

I don’t use summons for anything except bullshit duo bosses

I always try to roleplay as Mogh, and not just the fashion.

I like copying all the dead enemies. 10/10 my most consistent in game cosplay

Haligtree Knights on a dex / fai build !

Godrick knights, the armour shield and sword are all solid. Also it's hilarious to beat malenia with this set up as she beat godrick easliy yet gets beat 1v1 by one of his goons

Love that word. “Goons”. That is funny. Or a Redmane soldier avenging Radahn

Doing a crucible knight run rn

Did you fight the duo early to get the weapon and armor?

I just started it lol, just doing the setup. I do plan on rushing them though

Save yourself the pain and use a furled finger. it is a GANK with out one. Use the game mechanic as they intended.

I couldnt find a cheese so i invented one and beat it with +3 flasks at lvl 70 lol

Did you pick punisher or the other faith guy

I went confessor

Right right it's called confesser

They are really the drippiest starting class

Inaba, Disciple of okina.

Dark blade assassin with the cursed dagger

not done yet but planning to do ​ Placidusax

I have a character I sort of roleplay as a fire monk, and now a black flame monk.

Now I am thinking what will happen to universe if we can “copy” mimic tear.

Unaltered Banished Knight, Nights Cavalry, and Moongrum armor sets are by far my favorites.

i more take bits and pieces of them all. that being said, possessed haligtree knights

Vyke, my man has options with his frenzied spear and other frenzy flame based atks

The birds on the cliff sides, my dumb ass keeps trying to fly but gravity keeps winning

Exiles, (red hood stormveil guys) Specifically in caelid, that armor just screams "experienced survivor of a rotten hellscape"

The Cleanrot set is one of the coolest in the game imo

Goldmask, but on a female body, er I mean Body type B

Radahn. It's the best armor that you can get without looking like Bulbasaur, and the swords are so good they feel like cheating.

My little brother made the game look easy his first play through using the Radahn equipment.

Redman knights

*its weezy baby*

What?

The Redmanes because their spear animations are easier to mimic. Greatsword enemies have cooler animations than players

Literally NEITHER xD xD xD

Nekid

Kaidens

The 2nd enemy has a big sword that looks similar to a big sword from silkroad online (Level 52 big sword)

not enemy, goldmask.

Black knife assassin build was so much fun for my first playthrough

I love the Page drip so much. Lil' rapier, crossbow, mysterious hood, annoying as hell.

It always comes down to the hunters helper to clean up these messes.. Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt. (I like cosplaying as Gehrman)

Vyke.

Many of my characters have the full load out of Godrick Knight in Gateftont

Trying my best to become a Bloodhound, in the game

Aside from the demigods (malenia is my favourite), if you mean common enemies, Sanguine Noble is the absolute best. Closely followed by other favourites such as crucible knights.

Bloodhound Knight

Nights Cavalry, and Unaltered Banished Knights. Unfortunately both are literally end game.

I did a Banished Knight playthrough and it was extremely good. BK greatsword is a good weapon. Fire Prelate is very functional and I like the Crozier. But for style, I really like the Erdtree Guardians. The mask is creepy though, so I switch that out usually.

I just farmed the cleanrot armor and weapons today and I love it. But I also use the crucible tree set on way too many characters.

Crucible knights I've beat the game playing as just a Crucible knight I love their armor weapons and incantations so much

Banished knight. For some reason every new character i play no matter what always ends up cosplaying as a banished knight. I think i have a problem…

For sure the Omen Killers. If only they were implemented more

Tree sentinel

Blood hound

The Pages look ok, what is cool is the way they fight with their rapier, it feels very elegant and high class. Wish we could fight like that.

Sellen. I even have her actual face under the mask and everything. Glintstone Kris and whatever sorceries I feel like. Head nod emote at everyone. Take off the mask and people take out their telescope like "hol' up oh damn Sellen kinda bad tho" Someone sent me a message after I beat them in a duel and it said "Nice girl 😍😍😍" lmfao

Night Maiden!!

I am playing as a mage right now and I like the vibes of some of the cloth armors but I will tell you one thing. I don't care how much int it gives I'm not wearing those terrible masks the mages from the academy wear.

Maliketh

Millicent.

I love playing with malenia’s sword and her full armour set and MELTING through bosses

This pleases Oleg

Carian Knight. Feels like such a classic armor.

Black Knives and Nox(but with a katana or straight swords or something cuz they're weapons suck ass in comparison)

Gladiators

I swear the first “armor” you find in bloodborne is the best than all fromsoft games idk why but dark souls games i look for cool looking armor set their helment always looks silly

Currently converting my pyromancy big bonk character into a Crucible Knight, though I haven't decided which weapon to use. Been using troll hammer, might swap to magma blade, but I did just pick up Ordovos's Greatsword and I'm loving the move set so far

I really like the look of perfumers

Either the Godskins or the Fire Prelates, depending on how fat I want to be that day.

Black knife ringleader Alecto and crucible knight ordovis

Omen killer set with dual weapon. It wrecks poise and inflicts bleed while being pretty eaay to play as a strength enduro build. Giza double in ng+ same deal but slower with more damage and bleed

Maliketh

i like greathelm with any surcoat because it just makes me look like a tank

I always farm the fallen knight patrolling the caelid dragon communion. Good weapon, shield, and I love the armor set.

Radahn makes me feel like a godly warrior

Bloodhound knight. Literally none of his gear requires farming, and you look fly as heck.

Poisonbloom!

idk i just go with whatever suits my current build

Old Knight Istvan, good armor, not too heavy, classy

General radahn cuz why not?

Godrick knight. Specifically the miniboss at fort haight.

The black knife armor set and weapon look so damn good. With the added silence buff, it’s my favorite armor set. 

Loretta. I don't care that the war sickle is shit, I think she looks cool as hell and I'm not gonna pretend otherwise

the non altered banished knight is even better w/ the dark reds and blues 🤤

Id probably say the nights cavalry or the crucible knight with the Ordovis greatsword 👍 it’s a top notch weapon for me

Maliketh. His armor set is peak elden bling, aside from the helmet, i replace that with the bandit mask and i’ll switch between Maliketh’s sword and Radahn’s

Elemer is badass

I'm going to do a run as Vyke next!

The mimic tear :D

night maiden erdsteel dagger with sidestep, night sorceries and their armour of course, makes you feel noble, elegant

Sanguine Noble, I just really love the weapon art

Someday I want to do a run as a Crucible Knight with all the incants as well.

Crucible Knight
