About this armor
Weighs 3.8 and provides 5 poise.
The regular four pieces have no passive effect. Guardian Garb (Full Bloom) is a separate enemy drop with a healing bonus and Fire weakness, not a tailoring option.
Only flowering guardians on the root toward Erdtree Sanctuary drop Full Bloom. Farm that variant before defeating Maliketh; ordinary guardians elsewhere remain useful for the regular outfit.
In-game description
Engraved golden mask.
Worn by the guardians of the Minor Erdtrees.
In accordance with an ancient pact with the Erdtree, it is said that their deaths led not to destruction, but instead to renewed, eternal life as guardians.
Where to find
Path around the Minor Erdtree
Greyoll's Dragonbarrow
Starting Site of Grace: Dragonbarrow Fork
- Start at Dragonbarrow Fork in northeastern Caelid. Follow the slope southeast toward the Minor Erdtree and look for the small masked guardians along the path.
- Target the guardians, collect their glowing drops and leave the large Erdtree Avatar alone if you only want armor.
- Rest at Dragonbarrow Fork and return to repeat. The mask, regular garb, bracers and greaves are separate random drops; the flower-covered chest is not part of this farm.
Notes
- Weighs 3.8 and provides 5 poise.
- The regular four pieces have no passive effect. Guardian Garb (Full Bloom) is a separate enemy drop with a healing bonus and Fire weakness, not a tailoring option.
- Only flowering guardians on the root toward Erdtree Sanctuary drop Full Bloom. Farm that variant before defeating Maliketh; ordinary guardians elsewhere remain useful for the regular outfit.
- No Guardian piece can be tailored. Removing flowers through Alter garments is not a way to obtain the regular garb or make Full Bloom.
- Has a base 1.5% drop chance per eligible enemy at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance, but does not guarantee the piece.
