About this armor
Increases damage dealt by Fire Serpent, Rain of Fire and Messmer's Orb by 5%. The chest alone provides the bonus; the matching helm, gauntlets and greaves are not required.
This does not strengthen every Fire incantation, Fire weapon attack or Fire Knight skill. Flame Skewer and Flame Spear use the separate skill bonuses on the appropriate special helms.
Can be worn with Messmer's Helm and an active Fire Knight's Seal to combine their compatible bonuses. Multiply the effects rather than adding their percentages as if they were all one value.

In-game description
Armor of the Fire Knights under Messmer the Impaler's personal command.
Distinguished by its red cape and twin golden snakes which adorn the neck, enhancing incantations of Messmer's flame.
These were the only ones who truly knew Messmer. His flames, like serpents. The painful fate that accompanied his accursed form.
Where to find
Specimen Storehouse walkways
Shadow Keep
Starting Site of Grace: Storehouse, Seventh Floor
- Enter the Realm of Shadow after defeating Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, by touching the withered arm in Mohg's arena.
- From Highroad Cross in Scadu Altus, follow the main road north to Shadow Keep's southern gate. Ride the entrance lift and activate Shadow Keep Main Gate grace.
- Defeat Golden Hippopotamus in the plaza. This is the front-door route; the flooded Church District provides a different way into the keep.
- From Main Gate Plaza, leave through the west-northwest doorway, pass through the armory and climb the stairs. Continue up the wooden steps to the dining hall, where two Black Knights guard the route.
- Leave the dining hall through its southeastern exit to the upper rampart. Follow the rampart past the burning boats and watch for the small Shadow Militiamen hiding beside them.
- Take the stairs leading north-northeast toward the large lift, passing the Fire Knight in front of it. Ride up and activate Storehouse, First Floor grace.
- From Storehouse, First Floor, ride the entrance lift back down. The tall Fire Knight carrying the long greatsword near the bottom is a repeatable armor-farming target.
- Defeat it, collect any dropped loot, ride back up and rest at the grace. Repeat for the piece you need. Each armor piece has its own drop roll, so one kill can leave you without the desired item.
- Ordinary soldiers and Shadow Militiamen do not drop the Fire Knight outfit. You do not need to defeat Messmer or reach the seventh floor for this selected farm.
Notes
- Increases damage dealt by Fire Serpent, Rain of Fire and Messmer's Orb by 5%. The chest alone provides the bonus; the matching helm, gauntlets and greaves are not required.
- This does not strengthen every Fire incantation, Fire weapon attack or Fire Knight skill. Flame Skewer and Flame Spear use the separate skill bonuses on the appropriate special helms.
- Can be worn with Messmer's Helm and an active Fire Knight's Seal to combine their compatible bonuses. Multiply the effects rather than adding their percentages as if they were all one value.
- Weighs 9.3 and provides 19 poise. Removing the red cape through tailoring lowers it to 8.4 weight and 17 poise, and also removes the 5% spell bonus.
- The regular chest has a 3% base drop chance at 100 Item Discovery from regular Fire Knights. It is not purchased from Enia after Messmer.
- The altered version can be reversed to restore the cape and spell bonus. Ordinary tailoring tools are enough for this knight armor.
