The ten same-slot pieces closest in weight to Eccentric's Hood. Lower weight is lighter; higher poise, negation and resistance provide more protection. Negation differences are percentage points.
Has no extra skill damage, attribute increase or matching-outfit bonus. Jerren's fighting style does not become an armor effect.
Jerren drops the four normal outfit pieces together. Helping Sellen defeat him is one route; killing him after collecting his reward on the opposing branch is another.
In-game description
A pointy, ragged hood.
Worn by the knight Jerren.
The hood hides an aged, bearded mask.
Jerren served General Radahn as a guest commander, and they are said to have sworn an oath of honorable death to one another.
Where to find
Assist Sellen outside the Grand Library
Liurnia of the Lakes
Starting Site of Grace: Raya Lucaria Grand Library
Before you go
Progress Sellen's quest and choose the stated final branch.
Find Waypoint Ruins east of Agheel Lake in Limgrave. Enter the cellar among the ruined walls, defeat the Mad Pumpkin Head and open the door behind its arena. Speak to Sellen and agree to study with her.
From Erdtree-Gazing Hill on Altus Plateau, ride north through Wyndham Ruins and enter the valley beside Mt. Gelmir at Seethewater River. Follow the valley north, then around the mountain toward Seethewater Terminus.
At Fort Laiedd, continue south along the outside of the fort toward the lava pool. Follow the bank around the Magma Wyrm instead of entering the fort; defeating the wyrm is not required.
Keep following the mountain path past Hermit's Shack and the nearby Runebear, then continue to Craftsman's Shack and Hermit Village. The enemies along this route are separate from the pickup, so keep moving if you do not want those fights.
Go through the village and past Demi-Human Queen Maggie to the seated sorcerer with the green crystal head beside Primeval Sorcerer Azur grace. Interact with him and wait through the pause to receive Comet Azur. Do not attack him.
Return to Sellen at Waypoint Ruins. Show her Azur's sorcery, agree to journey with her and continue her dialogue about Lusat until she gives you the Sellian Sealbreaker.
From Church of the Plague in eastern Caelid, head northeast to the graveyard at the cliff. Find the large headstone guarded by a battlemage and strike the cliff directly behind it to uncover Sellia Hideaway.
Activate the cave grace and follow the miners' tunnel. Strike the false walls blocking the way until you reach the large cavern crossed by long crystals. Do not drop into the first deep pit with the Royal Revenant.
Cross the long crystal bridge, step down to the lower crystal near its far end and reach the rock ledge. Jump the gap ahead and follow the cavern wall until another descending crystal comes into view on your right.
Look for the crystal snail on that descending crystal. Use the crystals below it to descend into the second pit, then deal with the sorcerer guarding the blue seal at the bottom.
Interact with the blue seal while carrying the Sellian Sealbreaker. Follow the passage and speak to Lusat to receive Stars of Ruin. The three Crystalian bosses are elsewhere and do not have to be defeated for this room.
Report Lusat's location to Sellen at Waypoint Ruins and finish her dialogue. After defeating Starscourge Radahn, ask about her real body and agree to help with her next request.
Travel south from Fourth Church of Marika to Witchbane Ruins on the western Weeping Peninsula. Enter the cellar and speak to the shackled Sellen. Take Sellen's Primal Glintstone when she asks; attacking her is not part of this step.
After Radahn's festival, speak to Jerren in the chapel area at Redmane Castle until he says he is leaving. If you have already done this, continue to the next step.
Defeat Royal Knight Loretta at Caria Manor to enter Three Sisters. In the ruins between Ranni's Rise and Renna's Rise, strike or roll over the false floor between the rows of arches to reveal a cellar.
Go downstairs past the puppets and hit the false wall at the rear. Interact with the spare body resembling Sellen and place her Primal Glintstone in it.
Return to Witchbane Ruins and finish Jerren's dialogue if he is there. If he has already moved on, check the library signs rather than attacking Sellen's old body.
After defeating Rennala, go outside Raya Lucaria Grand Library toward the lift. Look beside the library doors for the gold and red summon signs. Stop here before choosing; they lead to opposing quest endings.
Use the gold sign to help Sellen fight Jerren. Win the fight to receive the four normal Eccentric armor pieces, then speak to Sellen inside the library for Glintstone Kris and her expanded spell shop.
Kill Jerren after his final quest reward

After defeating Rennala, go outside Raya Lucaria Grand Library toward the lift. Look beside the library doors for the gold and red summon signs. Stop here before choosing; they lead to opposing quest endings.
Use the red sign to fight Sellen alongside Jerren. Defeating her gives Witch's Glintstone Crown and Sellen's Bell Bearing, but closes off Glintstone Kris, the new Shard Spiral purchase and the two primeval sorcerers' outfits for this journey.
Back in your world, speak to Jerren outside the library to receive his Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. If you also want his armor, kill him here after collecting the stone and before leaving; taking the stone by itself does not award the outfit.
Notes
Weighs 4 and gives 6 poise.
Has no extra skill damage, attribute increase or matching-outfit bonus. Jerren's fighting style does not become an armor effect.
Jerren drops the four normal outfit pieces together. Helping Sellen defeat him is one route; killing him after collecting his reward on the opposing branch is another.
If you take Jerren's side, collect the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone before killing him and do so before leaving the area. This choice still sacrifices Sellen's dagger, new spell and the two primeval outfits.
The hood can be changed with the ordinary Tailoring Tools for 500 runes, or by Boc for free after returning his Sewing Needle. The altered form removes the cloth hood.
Both hood versions weigh 4.0 and give six poise. Altering it changes its defenses and resistances but does not save equip load.
