About this set

The regular helm, chest, gauntlets and greaves weigh 21.6 together and provide 40 poise. This excludes weapons, shields and talismans.

Each regular piece is a separate random drop from Messmer Soldiers. A weapon or ammunition drop does not guarantee the armor piece you want.

None of these pieces boosts Messmer's Flame, charged attacks or weapon skills. The soldiers' combat abilities do not become passive armor effects.

Where to find

Respawning war camp enemies south of Castle Front

Gravesite Plain

Starting Site of Grace: Castle Front

  1. Enter the Realm of Shadow after defeating Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, by touching the withered arm in Mohg's arena.
  2. From Gravesite Plain, ride north through Scorched Ruins and follow the road toward the great stone arch. Continue to Three-Path Cross grace beside the cross.
  3. Take the eastern road from the cross toward Ellac Greatbridge. Cross the bridge, keeping clear of the soldiers and ballista fire, and activate Castle Front grace on the far side.
  4. Turn south from Castle Front into the nearby war camp instead of entering Castle Ensis. Use the tents and stonework to draw out one enemy at a time.
  5. Target the Messmer Soldiers in red-and-black mail, including the shield, axe and greatspear carriers. The cloth-clad Common Soldiers drop a different outfit.
  6. Defeat the relevant soldiers and collect the glowing drops. Rest at Castle Front to reset the camp; no Castle Ensis boss victory is required.
  7. For the altered chest, first obtain regular Messmer Soldier Armor. Use Alter garments at a grace with the Tailoring Tools and Sewing Needle, or ask Boc to alter it.

Notes

  • The regular helm, chest, gauntlets and greaves weigh 21.6 together and provide 40 poise. This excludes weapons, shields and talismans.
  • Each regular piece is a separate random drop from Messmer Soldiers. A weapon or ammunition drop does not guarantee the armor piece you want.
  • None of these pieces boosts Messmer's Flame, charged attacks or weapon skills. The soldiers' combat abilities do not become passive armor effects.
  • The chest can be tailored to remove its cloak. The altered chest weighs 8.1 instead of 9.2 and keeps 18 poise, while protection and resistances change.
  • Each eligible regular piece has a base 1.5% drop chance at 100 Discovery. The outfit is collected across separate random rolls, rather than awarded as one complete set.
  • There is no extra matching-set bonus. You can mix the pieces with other armor without losing a hidden effect.
