The ten same-slot pieces closest in weight to Godskin Apostle Hood. Lower weight is lighter; higher poise, negation and resistance provide more protection. Negation differences are percentage points.
Weighs 2.2 and provides 3 poise. The complete outfit weighs 10.9 and provides 19 poise before weapons and talismans.
All four pieces are the fixed reward for defeating the Apostle in the Divine Tower of Caelid basement. This is different from the Windmill Village fight and the later Godskin Duo.
No piece strengthens Black Flame incantations, adds percentage-based HP drain or improves Godslayer's Greatsword. The outfit's description does not grant the Apostle's attacks.
In-game description
Hood made by sewing together patches of smooth skin.
Worn by the Godskin Apostles.
The apostles, once said to serve Destined Death, are wielders of the god-slaying black flame. But after their defeat by Maliketh, the Black Blade, the source of their power was sealed away.
Where to find
Divine Tower of Caelid basement
Greyoll's Dragonbarrow
Starting Site of Grace: Divine Tower of Caelid: Basement
Start at Dragonbarrow West in northern Caelid and ride northeast toward the enormous Divine Tower. Approach its southern side from the cliff beside the branching roots.
Use the raised root to reach the tower ledge with a torch-carrying soldier and ladder. Clear the soldier before climbing so you can line up the next ledge safely.
After the first ladder, follow the raised stone ledge around the tower, jumping its broken sections. Continue toward the guards and the next tall ladder, rather than taking a lower optional loot detour.
Climb to the higher ledge and follow it left to the tower opening. Activate Divine Tower of Caelid: Center before attempting the interior descent.
Take the eastern doorway and stairs down. The western route goes up toward Radahn's Great Rune and does not reach the armor.
Clear the two soldiers in the lit room, including the one waiting on the right. Drop through the open shaft edge onto the projecting stone platform below.
Stay against the wall and follow its narrow ledge to the next cracked support. Step onto it and let it collapse to the lower level; this is part of the intended route.
Face the large central pillar and work down the projecting stone beams and platforms beside it. Walk off toward each visible lower landing instead of running or jumping out into the middle of the shaft.
Continue down along the pillar to the ledge with a shielded soldier beside a cage lift. Defeat the soldier, enter the cage and ride upward.
At the upper landing, climb the nearby ladder and open the shortcut door back toward the center grace. Open it now so a later fall does not mean repeating the first descent.
Climb back down and follow the curved corridor. A Blackflame Monk waits around the corner; clear him before following the passage to its dead end.
At the end, use the narrow ledge on the left to reach the second cracked support below. Let it collapse, then take the next cage lift down.
Activate Divine Tower of Caelid: Basement. A second Blackflame Monk guards the stairs between this grace and the Godskin Apostle's fog door.
Defeat the Godskin Apostle beyond the monk. This particular Apostle gives Godskin Apostle Hood, Robe, Bracelets and Trousers together as the boss reward.
The chest in the room behind the arena contains Godslayer's Greatsword separately. It is not the armor pickup, and the Windmill Village Apostle has different rewards.
Notes
Weighs 2.2 and provides 3 poise. The complete outfit weighs 10.9 and provides 19 poise before weapons and talismans.
All four pieces are the fixed reward for defeating the Apostle in the Divine Tower of Caelid basement. This is different from the Windmill Village fight and the later Godskin Duo.
No piece strengthens Black Flame incantations, adds percentage-based HP drain or improves Godslayer's Greatsword. The outfit's description does not grant the Apostle's attacks.
None of the four pieces can be tailored. They have no passive attribute effect or extra matching-set bonus.
Godslayer's Greatsword is in a separate chest beyond the defeated boss. Collecting the armor reward does not automatically collect that sword.
This boss reward is guaranteed, so increasing Discovery does not improve the armor reward or produce extra copies.
