Duelist Helm
HeadDuelist Set
Adds 0.03 to your multiplayer enemy-target priority while equipped. This increases the priority input used by enemy targeting. It is not a 3% chance to be attacked and does not guarantee that an enemy will switch to you. The armor pieces add together, so a helm, altered cloak and greaves provide the same 0.10 addition as Shabriri's Woe. Existing enemy targets, distance and scripted behavior still matter.

About this armor
Weighs 6.2 and provides 10 poise.
The helm, greaves and altered cloak increase enemy target priority. Wearing more of those pieces strengthens that tendency, which can help draw attention from allies. It is not a guaranteed lock on every enemy's target. The regular cloak has no such effect.
Each regular armor piece has a 3% base drop chance at 100 Discovery from the eligible capital Duelists. Higher Discovery helps, but it does not guarantee a drop after a fixed number of kills.

In-game description
Bronze helm decorated with innumerable snakes.
Worn by gladiators who were driven from the colosseum. The wearer becomes a slightly easier target for foes.
The snake is viewed as a traitor to the Erdtree, and the audience delighted in seeing these bronze effigies beaten and battered.
Where to find
Path outside the colosseum
Leyndell, Royal Capital
Starting Site of Grace: West Capital Rampart
Before you go
- Farm the capital Duelists before defeating Maliketh.
- From Avenue Balcony, go down the northwest stairs and continue toward the huge petrified dragon. Climb its wing to the upper walkway, then take the passage and stairs to West Capital Rampart grace.
- From West Capital Rampart, follow the rampart south toward the huge root. Take the rising path southwest toward the colosseum rather than following the root toward the Erdtree Sanctuary.
- Defeat the Duelist patrolling the approach, then the second on the upper stairs beside the colosseum doors. Both can drop the regular helm, cloak and greaves; their weapons have separate drop rolls.
- Check their loot and rest at West Capital Rampart to repeat. The pieces are random drops, so defeating both once does not guarantee the full outfit. Finish this farm before defeating Maliketh, when these capital enemies disappear.

- Each regular armor piece has a 3% base drop chance at 100 Discovery from the eligible capital Duelists. Higher Discovery helps, but it does not guarantee a drop after a fixed number of kills.
- These are the normal capital pieces. The Rotten Duelists in the Snowfield give a different outfit through separate guaranteed rewards.
- Farm before defeating Maliketh. After Leyndell changes, the two colosseum Duelists no longer return, so the local farm is unavailable until another Journey.
- This piece cannot be altered. Only the cloak has a tailored version.
