About this set

Path outside the colosseum

Leyndell, Royal Capital

Starting Site of Grace: West Capital Rampart

Before you go

• Farm the capital Duelists before defeating Maliketh.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

Notes

• This is a three-piece outfit with no separate matching gauntlets. The regular combination weighs 19.8 and provides 36 poise; using the altered cloak gives 18.6 weight and 32 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.
• 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.
• Ordinary tailoring removes the cloak, reducing weight from 6.3 to 5.1 and poise from 12 to 8, while adding the target-priority effect. The change costs 500 runes at a grace and can be reversed.
• The regular cloak raises its hood when combined with a normal or Rotten Duelist helm. The hood is part of the cloak's appearance rather than another item.
