About this armor
Weighs 7.5 and provides 11 poise. It has no attribute, spell or weapon-skill bonus.
This piece has no altered version. The matching chest can be changed, but tailoring does not change the helm or limbs.
Killing Bernahl at Warmaster's Shack obtains the armor early but ends his later joint Manor quest. Keeping him alive allows the later Farum Azula invasion instead.
In-game description
Silver helm engraved with tiny beasts.
Worn by Bernahl the Recusant.
The beasts, their eyes and ears covered, represent an oath: "See nothing, hear nothing, doubt nothing, and carry on, along the path set in stone."
Where to find
Tower below the Great Bridge
Crumbling Farum Azula
Starting Site of Grace: Beside the Great Bridge
Before you go
- Defeat Rykard and reach Crumbling Farum Azula.
- Keep Bernahl alive through Volcano Manor. Finish his joint Leyndell assignment and collect Gelmir's Fury first if you want those rewards, then defeat Rykard. Return to Bernahl at the manor and finish his remaining dialogue.
- Later, reach Beside the Great Bridge grace in Crumbling Farum Azula. Climb the stairs onto the broad bridge and turn away from the uphill route toward the Draconic Tree Sentinel and Maliketh.
- Go to the building at the bridge's opposite end. Descend through the Beastmen rooms and leave onto the outside balcony. Use the ladder there to reach the lower walkway.
- Follow the walkway toward the separate tower. Recusant Bernahl invades on this approach; make room to fight rather than backing blindly toward a ledge.
- Defeat him for Devourer's Scepter, Blasphemous Claw and his armor, including the altered chest. His joint Leyndell assignment is not required for this invasion, and defeating Maliketh does not prevent it on the current version.
Knight Bernahl at Warmaster's Shack
Limgrave
Starting Site of Grace: Warmaster's Shack
Before you go
- Bernahl must still be at the shack.
- This route kills Bernahl and ends his later joint quest.
- From Stormhill Shack in northern Limgrave, follow the road east into the woods to Warmaster's Shack. Visit during daylight to find Knight Bernahl inside; the nighttime Bell Bearing Hunter is a different enemy.
- Killing Bernahl here gives his weapon and armor early, but prevents his later Manor assignment, Raging Wolf outfit and Gelmir's Fury reward. Keep him alive and use the later invasion if you want those rewards.
- If you choose the early kill, defeat Bernahl and collect Devourer's Scepter, Beast Champion Helm, Gauntlets, Greaves and Beast Champion Armor (Altered), along with his bell bearing. The chest drops without its cape.
Notes
- Weighs 7.5 and provides 11 poise. It has no attribute, spell or weapon-skill bonus.
- This piece has no altered version. The matching chest can be changed, but tailoring does not change the helm or limbs.
- Killing Bernahl at Warmaster's Shack obtains the armor early but ends his later joint Manor quest. Keeping him alive allows the later Farum Azula invasion instead.
- The invasion awards Blasphemous Claw in addition to the armor and weapon. The early shack kill does not give that separate tool.
- These are fixed rewards from Bernahl, not low-chance drops to farm. The armor can be mixed with other pieces without losing a full-set bonus.
