About this armor
Weighs 3.6 and provides 6 poise. The full outfit weighs 19.6 and gives 36 poise, excluding weapons and talismans.
Has a base 3% drop chance per eligible enemy at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance; duplicates and empty kills are still possible.
Foot Soldier Helm is the Caelid headpiece; Foot Soldier Helmet is the differently named Liurnia item. The red cloth chest is Scarlet Tabard, rather than Redmane Surcoat.
In-game description
Wholly unembellished iron helm.
Widely issued to foot soldiers in a lord's army.
Where to find
Scarlet-tabard Foot Soldiers below Fort Gael
Caelid
Starting Site of Grace: Fort Gael North
- Reach Caelid by following the northeastern Limgrave road past Summonwater Village and Smoldering Church. Continue into the red region and look south toward Fort Gael on the western side of Caelid.
- Approach from the north and activate Fort Gael North grace before entering the soldier camp. The fort's closed gate and the lion inside are separate from this outdoor farm.
- Follow the slope south toward the walls, using the rocks to break the greatbow knight's line of sight. Watch for ordinary soldiers and the Flame Chariot along the approach.
- Target the thinly armored men in scarlet tabards and simple helmets, rather than the red lion-surcoat soldiers or red-plumed knights.
- Collect their glowing drops and rest at Fort Gael North to repeat for Foot Soldier Helm and Scarlet Tabard. The fort's lion and the Radahn festival are not required.
- The shared Foot Soldier Gauntlets and Foot Soldier Greaves can be farmed from Godrick Foot Soldiers in Limgrave. Those shared pieces do not make the scarlet tabard a Limgrave drop.

- Has a base 3% drop chance per eligible enemy at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance; duplicates and empty kills are still possible.
- Foot Soldier Helm is the Caelid headpiece; Foot Soldier Helmet is the differently named Liurnia item. The red cloth chest is Scarlet Tabard, rather than Redmane Surcoat.
- The full outfit uses shared Foot Soldier Gauntlets and Foot Soldier Greaves. Farm those in Limgrave instead of treating every regional Foot Soldier as an identical loot table.
- The scarlet color does not add Fire damage, Blood Loss or a gravity bonus. Neither regional piece has an altered version.
