But even at base levels, you will have enough curse defense for worry-free strolls in the Depths and the Great Hollow. You can build up a fair amount of it with upgrades. What makes this set invaluable is the curse resistance. This is a light set that can be upgraded with Twinkling Titanite and has good physical and high magic resistance. You can immediately go to Blighttown and find it in a chest in the upper levels before the paddle wheel. This set is available very early in the game if you have the Master Key. It also makes for a more comical character, sort of like a blinged-out, Las Vegas version of the Michelin Tire Man. But the lighter weight and much higher fire and lightning resistances are useful in NG+. It is more expensive and difficult to acquire. Dohmnall sells Smough’s Set at Firelink after the boss fight (you must kill the Executioner last). Havel’s Set is hidden in the basement of Anor Londo (break through a fireplace to get to it). Smough’s is a bit lighter with better fire and lightning resistance, while Havel’s is heavier but has better poise and curse resistance. There is very little difference between Havel’s and Smough’s armor. The Set of Favor is the best-looking and most bad-ass armor set in Dark Souls. Let’s face it, sometimes how armor looks on our build is the ultimate reason for equipping it. But my favorite feature is certainly the design of the set. It offers good protection across the board for a mid-weight set, including curse resistance. This set requires Twinkling Titanite for upgrades. After you avenge Anastacia, the set is located in the same level as the Chamber of the Princess’ bonfire.

You must invade Lautrec’s world in Anor Londo using the Black Eye Orb. I could not help myself and had to find a spot on this list for the Set of Favor. So let us take a tour of my very biased list of Top 10 Armor Sets. Choosing and equipping the right armor for your build can make a world of difference as your progress through the game.īesides defensive attributes, you must also carefully consider the weight of an armor set, whether it can be upgraded and required upgrade material (normal versus Twinkling Titanite). There are different armor items and sets with unique attributes that may help you with a particular boss or game area. Stronger armor significantly increases your defense. Armor in Dark Souls is much more important than in Demon’s Souls.
