Lords Of The Fallen: Best Early Game Armor Sets


In Lords of the Fallen, you can choose from 80 distinct armor sets, each tailored for specific defensive needs. While some are durable and prioritize physical defense, others are more agile, focusing on magical resistance. This guide will spotlight the 10 best armor sets in the early game and detail the steps to acquire them.

Purger Armor Set

This armor set can be unlocked by bringing a scripture called the "Hollowed Sentinel Scripture" to Exacter Dunmire at Skyrest. The scripture can be found near the ballroom waypoint. Once the scripture is presented to Dunmire, players will gain access to the Purger Armor. To make this set accessible in Dunmire's inventory, a specific heretical artifact must be presented to him. This armor set is considered heavy and provides significant defenses, making it a valuable upgrade from the starting armor.

Vanguard Armor Set

After obtaining the Vanguard Rosary from the swamp area, players can bring it back to Executor Don Meyer at Skyrest to unlock the Vanguard Armor. This armor set is visually appealing and offers even greater defenses than the Purger Armor. The Vanguard Armor is also categorized as heavy armor, making it suitable for players who prioritize high defense. If the Vanguard Armor doesn't immediately become available at Don Meyer's shop, players might need to provide him with two additional items: the "Bloody Asium" and the "Book of the Sin." Both of these items can be found near Skyrest and between that location and the Pilgrim Birch area.

Angel of the Void Armor

To obtain the Angel of the Void Armor, players need to navigate through the swamp area, past a series of bonfires and enemies. After crossing a suspended wooden bridge and unlocking a door, players will find a chest containing the armor set. This armor offers significant resistance, especially against frostbite and poison, which are prevalent in certain stages of the game. The armor also features a unique skull helmet, giving players a menacing appearance.

Fitzroy Armor Set

This armor set is the heaviest available at this point in the game, offering the highest defensive capabilities. Players can find the Fitzroy Armor Set after completing the swamp area, defeating the horse boss, and reaching the Fitzroy's Gorge location. As players progress through this area, they will eventually come across a large bridge and tower. By navigating around the tower and reaching its top, players will find a chest containing the full Fitzroy Armor Set. This armor set is more ornate than the others, but its defenses are unparalleled, making it a valuable asset for players as they progress further into the game.

Pieta's Armor Set

Once you've defeated Pieta and gained access to the Skyrest Bridge, you can present her Remembrance to Molhu in exchange for her armor. This armor set strikes a balance with a mix of heavy and medium components, boasting impressive statistics and defenses. While its weight might challenge your encumbrance limits, a modest investment in Endurance in the game should help you manage it effectively.
