About this armor
Weighs 10.3 and provides 14 poise. Include the weight of your weapons and talismans when checking your equip load.
Its elemental protection is strongest against fire (5.2) and weakest against magic (4.7). Choose the piece around the damage you are facing.
The Blackgaol Knight awards all four regular pieces together with Greatsword of Solitude. The armor is a fixed victory reward, rather than a random drop you need to farm piece by piece.
In-game description
Steel helm of the Knights of the Solitary Gaol.
Part of a heavy armor set that covers the whole body in overlapping plates of steel.
The nameless mausoleums of the realm of shadow are said to hold the spirits of warriors who lost their names, or their hearts.
Where to find
Western Nameless Mausoleum
Gravesite Plain
Starting Site of Grace: Gravesite Plain
Before you go
- To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.
- From the first Gravesite Plain grace, ride northwest to the small stone mausoleum built against the cliff. Descend its stairs and enter the boss room.
- Defeat the Blackgaol Knight to receive his greatsword and all four unaltered Solitude pieces.

- This piece has no passive attribute or attack bonus and cannot be reinforced with Smithing Stones. You can mix it with other armor without losing a hidden matching-set bonus.
