Rotten Duelist Helm
Adds 0.03 to your multiplayer enemy-target priority while equipped. This increases the priority input used by enemy targeting. It is not a 3% chance to be attacked and does not guarantee that an enemy will switch to you. The armor pieces add together, so a helm, altered cloak and greaves provide the same 0.10 addition as Shabriri's Woe. Existing enemy targets, distance and scripted behavior still matter.

About this armor
Weighs 6.4 and provides 9 poise.
The helm, greaves and altered cloak increase enemy target priority. This can help draw attention away from allies or summons, but is not a guaranteed taunt that locks every enemy onto you. The regular cloak has no such effect.
The name does not grant Scarlet Rot attacks or immunity. Its Immunity stat helps resist poison and rot buildup; it does not make you immune or cure an active ailment.

The wearer becomes a slightly easier target for foes.
Where to find
Graves northwest of the opening snowfield grace
Consecrated Snowfield
Starting Site of Grace: Consecrated Snowfield
- Obtain the right Haligtree Secret Medallion half from Albus in Village of the Albinaurics, beneath southwestern Liurnia's plateau. Follow the village path uphill past the perfumer, reveal the large pot before the bridge and speak to Albus. Stop attacking once he appears.
- Obtain the left half from the rooftop beyond Commander Niall in Castle Sol. After defeating Niall, go through the exit behind his arena, ride the tower lift and collect the half beside the seated spirit. It is a separate pickup from his direct weapon reward.
- Return to the Grand Lift of Rold and switch the action to Hoist secret medallion. Follow Hidden Path to the Haligtree through to the snowy exit. The ordinary Rold Medallion goes to the other part of the Mountaintops.
- From Consecrated Snowfield grace, ride northwest through the blizzard to the small graveyard. Defeat the Rotten Duelist among the graves for Rotten Duelist Helm and Rotten Battle Hammer. This enemy does not drop the whole outfit.

- The helm, greaves and altered cloak increase enemy target priority. This can help draw attention away from allies or summons, but is not a guaranteed taunt that locks every enemy onto you. The regular cloak has no such effect.
- The name does not grant Scarlet Rot attacks or immunity. Its Immunity stat helps resist poison and rot buildup; it does not make you immune or cure an active ailment.
- Each regular piece comes from a different guaranteed first-kill reward. The southern graveyard Duelist gives the helm, the catacomb boss gives the cloak, and the Duelist northwest of Ordina gives the greaves. You do not need repeated random drops.
- This piece cannot be altered. The matching cloak is the part with a tailored version.
