Gelmir Knight Armor

Armor worn by knights once loyal to Praetor Rykard.

It bears an emblem that none wear any longer, standing as it does for a lord that fell from lofty ambition into gluttonous depravity.

As the lord lost his dignity, so too did these knights lose their master.

Guarded corpse in Gelmir Hero's Grave

Mt. Gelmir

Starting Site of Grace: Gelmir Hero's Grave

Before you go

• Reach First Mt. Gelmir Campsite and enter Gelmir Hero's Grave.

1. From Bridge of Iniquity on Altus Plateau, follow the road west toward the fighting soldiers and Abductor Virgins. Find the long ladder against the cliff to the south and climb to First Mt. Gelmir Campsite.
2. From First Mt. Gelmir Campsite, follow the path west, then around its bend south. Pass the wolves to the large stone entrance at the dead end, enter Gelmir Hero's Grave and ride the lift down to its grace.
3. Descend the southern stairs to the first chariot ramp. Move between the wall alcoves after the chariot passes, and clear any skeleton in your shelter so it cannot push you back into the ramp. Hit a fallen skeleton again as it starts to reassemble.
4. Near the lower part of this ramp, take the side alcove containing Grave Glovewort and stairs into the dungeon rooms. Use this side route rather than continuing through the long lava channel.
5. Clear the Pages and skeletons, climb the stairs and wait for a pause in the flame trap. Cross into the pillar room and strike the pillar to lower it, then take the exit into the second chariot passage.
6. Go down the second ramp using its side alcoves. Near the bottom, a Cemetery Shade waits in the corner shelter before the route becomes covered in lava. Keep the chariot in view while dealing with it.
7. Return to the narrow stone crossing just before the lava. Look over its side for the ledge below, then drop onto that ledge when the chariot has passed. The corpse with Smoldering Butterflies confirms you are on the lower ledge.
8. Follow the passage beneath the ramp into the room with a Bloodhound Knight watching over a corpse. The knight and the guarded corpse give two different outfits.
9. Loot the corpse guarded by the Bloodhound Knight for all four normal Gelmir Knight pieces. Killing the knight gives its own Bloodhound outfit, rather than this set.

Notes

• Weighs 11.8 and gives 24 poise. It has no hidden attribute or attack-damage bonus.
• A fixed corpse pickup in Gelmir Hero's Grave. The Bloodhound Knight guarding it drops a different outfit; ordinary enemy farming does not supply this armor.
• The Red Wolf of the Champion is farther into the grave and is not required for this pickup. You do not have to join Volcano Manor or complete its contracts.
• The chest can be altered with the ordinary Tailoring Tools for 500 runes, or by Boc for free after returning his Sewing Needle. The change is reversible and does not create a second copy.
• Removing the cape lowers weight from 11.8 to 10.8 while keeping 24 poise. It changes defenses and status resistances even though poise stays the same.
• The Gelmir name does not grant Fire damage or a special spell bonus. Choose this piece for its defenses and weight, without needing the rest of the matching outfit.
