About this armor

Weighs 10 and provides 24 poise. Include the weight of your weapons and talismans when checking your equip load.

Can be tailored into Fingerprint Armor. That version weighs 10.6 and provides 24 poise.

This reward comes from Roundtable Knight Vyke in the Mountaintops evergaol. Festering Fingerprint Vyke's invasion in Liurnia gives different rewards and is not a farm for this armor.

In-game description

Iron armor singed and blistered by fingers.

Worn by Vyke, knight of the Roundtable Hold.

No other Tarnished was closer to the throne of the Elden Lord than Vyke. But without announcement, Vyke traveled far below the capital, and was scorched by the flame of frenzy.

Did he make his choice for his maiden, or did some other force lure him with suggestion?

Where to find

Lord Contender's Evergaol, then tailoring at a grace

Mountaintops of the Giants

Starting Site of Grace: First Church of Marika

Before you go

  • Obtain Fingerprint Armor first.
  1. Defeat Morgott, receive the Rold Medallion from Melina and take the Grand Lift of Rold to the Mountaintops of the Giants.
  2. Follow the northern valley to Freezing Lake. Ride around to its southern shore, near the First Church of Marika, rather than looking for the evergaol on the frozen surface.
  3. Find the spiritspring against the southern cliff and use Torrent to jump onto the high ground above the lake. Lord Contender's Evergaol is the circular stone platform on that rise.
  4. Interact with the center to enter the evergaol. Defeat Roundtable Knight Vyke to receive all four regular Fingerprint pieces and Vyke's Dragonbolt.
  5. Find Coastal Cave on the beach below western Limgrave. Bring a torch or lantern, clear the cave and defeat the two Demi-Human Chiefs for the Tailoring Tools and Sewing Needle.
  6. Rest at a Site of Grace, choose Alter garments and select Fingerprint Armor to make Fingerprint Armor (Altered). This changes the item you already own; it does not create another copy.

Notes

  • Weighs 10 and provides 24 poise. Include the weight of your weapons and talismans when checking your equip load.
  • Can be tailored into Fingerprint Armor. That version weighs 10.6 and provides 24 poise.
  • This reward comes from Roundtable Knight Vyke in the Mountaintops evergaol. Festering Fingerprint Vyke's invasion in Liurnia gives different rewards and is not a farm for this armor.
  • The armor does not build Madness on nearby enemies or give ordinary attacks a frenzy effect.
  • Tailoring the chest saves 0.6 weight while keeping its 24 poise. The four-piece outfit then weighs 24.7 and still has 51 poise, though the altered chest has lower protection and resistance values.
  • This piece has no passive attribute or attack bonus and cannot be reinforced with Smithing Stones. You can mix it with other armor without losing a hidden matching-set bonus.
