Drake Knight Set is an Armor Set in Elden Ring. Drake Knight Set is a black iron set worn by the unmet drake knights. Sets of Armor in Elden Ring are composed of four armor pieces which are Helms, Chest Armor, Gauntlets, and Leg Armor.
Where to find Drake Knight Set in Elden Ring
- You can find the Drake Knight Set in Crumbling Farum Azula. [Map Link]
- Go to the Dragon Temple Rooftop Site of Grace. From there, drop down to where the elevator shaft containing a waiting Warhawk is located (there is another Warhawk nearby, feasting on a corpse). After climbing down the nearby ladder, turn left and then face north. From here, drop onto a floating rock, and then again down to a platform on which you find the same elevator shaft from above. Before taking the elevator platform up (it will take you all the way to the top, above the level with the Warhawks; you will find a Beastman there), keep going to the end of the circular path outside the elevator and you'll find the chest containing the set.

AnonymousHelmet looks like something you'd find in the back of a Spencer's. ☠️

Anonymousthe fact that *this* is the one sallet helmet compared to swaths of armets and frogmouths is nearly offensive

Blue festive garb + this helm. Love this set, reminds me strongly of that vintage style fantasy cover art; look at the Might and Magic VI cover and tell me it wasn't made from that exact dragon.

AnonymousWhen you google "overdone" this armor is the first search result.

AnonymousDrake knight chest + fire knight greaves + altered messmer helm is great drip for a dragon communion character

AnonymousSomething I just realized is this is probably the only armor set I haven't worn or seen anyone else wear a single time.

Anonymouselden ring players when they realize they can literally just choose a different helmet

AnonymousHonestly in motion the helmet doesn't look as bad but a good replacement is the solitude helm

AnonymousIf the horn could be removed the helm would be second only to the royal swordsman helm from DS2 as best in the whole series.

AnonymousPair it with serpent-crest shield and executioner's greataxe. Drip 2 hard

Anonymousbro looks like he got one of those anime lumps on his head from a recent beating

Replace the helm with winged serpent helm if you want to get rid of that spike, if not then ignore this comment.

Anonymousi just cant take helmet seriously the horn needs to be remove it looks like a thick overgrown nail

AnonymousDecent looking armor on its own, totally ruined by what might be the single worst, ugliest, stupidest helmet in the game

AnonymousWhy did they bury this right at the end of the game? Much like the Cane Sword, its only redeeming feature (indeed its only feature at all) is the drip factor. Mediocre stats and it doesn't boost DC spells - you could put this in Limgrave and it'd make no difference at all to the difficulty of any fight.

AnonymousWhat's with everyone replacing/removing the helm it's sick imo

AnonymousAltered this + pelt of ralva or malenia's helmet = passing the drip check

AnonymousIf you look to the left of the elevator after spawning at this grace you can just jump in the edge of the building directly above the chest and then drop on top of it.

AnonymousUsing this with the samurai helm, looks really cool and combines with my characther them (draconic samurai)

AnonymousI like it with dual wielding draconic wyrim scaleswords, i use in my ng+

AnonymousWhat is it with Elden ring and having the ****ing nose/mouth exposed with helmets, This **** would look 10x times cooler if it was just a full helmet

AnonymousIf the helmet didnt have that stupid ****ing horn sticking up in the air then this would be a 10/10 set

AnonymousShould boost Dragon Communion spells by 2% each piece like Death Knight set boosts Dragon Cult.

Anonymousthis is bad drip advice, but the high priest hat matches the altered chest piece perfectly, same texture/shade of gold for both.

AnonymousOk I can't say that they retconned drake knight lore because that wouldn't be accurate or fair. We knew that the dragons of the lands between were descendants of the Ancient Dragons and were hunted by Drake Knights for their hearts. But the additional context, that the order of Drake Knights was created by an ancient dragon to basically act as a janitorial committee, cleaning up Greyoll and Bayle's children in retribution for Bayle's mortal wounding of Placidusax, is kind of cool, kind of confusing, and definitely came out of left field for me.

Anonymous-Winged serpent helm
-drake knight armor and gauntlets
-fire kinght greaves
AnonymousYou wear this because you love eating dragon hearts. I wear these because I love eating dragon hearts. That's just how it works.

AnonymousSomething about the legs just isn't right, can't explain it. I equip the nox greaves instead and alter the chest piece and equip the aristocrat headband.

Anonymousthe gauntlets pair correctly with rellana's twin blades.
magic side is in the leather gauntlets, fire side is, basically on the fiery looking side.
do 100% recommend wearing the gauntlets with her swords.
Anonymous
Anonymousif the helmet spike is bothering you, you can substitute iit with the winged serpent helm from SotE.

Anonymous
AnonymousIf you wanna stay with the whole dragon theme, a good shield to go with this while having good guard stats and weight is the Serpent Crest shield, which has good matching color and is practically draconic.

Anonymous
AnonymousThe directions need to be improved and the map location is incorrect.
Once you get to where the elevator is lowered, continue around the circular path to the Southwest! Not the Northeast. You will find the chest next to a wall. You do not need to use the elevator to get the Drake Knight Set.
Anonymousdid anyone else notice a large enemie wearing this in the new dlc trailer

Anonymousyou wear this because you wanna be messmer
i wear this with the lance to be an ff dragoon
we are not the same

AnonymousWhole set is awesome, goofy sallet included. Yall disagreeing have no ****ing taste

AnonymousYou want messmer's set so you can cosplay as the resident pretty-boy edgelord.
I want his set so I can replace the silly helmet with another silly helmet.
We are not the same.
AnonymousIf you like the armor set aside from the helmet like I do, try the unaltered Banished Knight helm with the Drake Knight chest piece and Drake Knight gloves + blackflame monk greaves. The iron on the greaves match the right-hand glove and the helmet pretty well. It's not perfect but it's the closest I feel like I could find to make pieces come together in a cohesive way.

Anonymousliterally no similarities to messmer's armor aside from the general color scheme

AnonymousA tip for yawl, confessor set, altered fire prelate chest piece, and this set all have the same metal color in some capacity, so you can pick and choose as you please.

Anonymousbriar set matches perfectly with this. i swapped the chestpiece and greaves for the briar ones for a more bulky look while keeping the same color scheme

AnonymousGlad the dlc announcement brought so much attention to this beautiful set

AnonymousI wish you could take off that disgusting wing and still keep the red cloth and feathers

AnonymousMogh going to be hella confused the day the DLC drops and a good amount of people wearing this set show up at his arena

AnonymousI wanna do banished knight helm and the drake knight chest piece, but idk what to do for the greaves or gauntlets. Any suggestions?

AnonymousI didn't even know this armor set existed until people brought it up cause of the DLC announcement. I have beaten the game twice, almost three times, and have over 500 hours on it.

Anonymousimagine if messmer has nothing to do with dragons/drake knights and you all brought this set into the spotlight for weeks for no reason lmao

Anonymous2022-2023: terrible drake night set
2024: at home messmer set
AnonymousYou wear this set because it looks like what Messmer wears
I wear this because dragons are cool, and wore this even before the DLC trailer came out.
We are not the same.
Anonymousthis armor looks terrible, the only reason people are interested in this garbage now is because MesSmEr has it

AnonymousThis armour piece don’t look like Messmer’s at all. The chest-piece is chainmail and Messmer wear scale armour. The closest armour to Messmer’s is the altered chest-piece of the Nox Monk set

AnonymousTo lend further credence to the theory that Messmer is a Drake Knight, or possibly even their leader: The only Drake Knight you can currently find in the game, Eleonora, is in the employ of Mohg, but for undisclosed reasons sought a purifying tear, which would have allowed her to challenge him. Perhaps her alliance with Mohg was part of a plot to enter the Land of Shadow via Miquella's cocoon and meet Messmer. This would make Yura's story even more tragic because he might've completely misinterpeted Eleonora's reasons for becoming a Bloody Finger. And it'd also explain why this side quest and Bloody Fingers in general are given so much attention in the early game. I think it's all sort of coming together now, which I'm happy about because I've always felt something was missing from the game.

AnonymousI am almost for sure confident that these drake knights are either soldiers of messmer or messmer is a drake knight. The armor messmer wears is just a more extravagant version of this set. And the almost omen looking horns tie to messmer and the dlc area once again as we know the crucible is going to play a large part of the dlc, as we see multiple enemies affiliated with the crucible (omen beastman, crucible rhino/hippo, omen sludge swamp area, ect.) I also assume that messmer and the people underneath the veil don't see omens and the crucible as a bad thing, which works well for messmer seemingly being an amalgamation of everything that goes against the erdtree. It makes sense that he likes omens.

Anonymousanyone else realize this was the set that guy in the trailer was wearing? it couldntve just been me!

AnonymousI always told you Drake Knights were cool
WELL LOOK WHO'S LAUGHING NOW
yeah I wore the phallus helm

Anonymousafter drakes leak the dragon meat on the helmet is makes sense

Anonymouseither there's something more to this set (lore-wise) or this was a rushed, cobbled-together idea. it can't be a coincidence that the 'dragon ornamentation' so closely resembles Omen horns, but there's no other apparent link between the Omen and dragons, or dragon communion. disappointing set with what could have been a really great look, ruined by the tacked-on dragon crap, and with unforgivable stats, especially for its location

AnonymousI just wish you could alter those stupid wings off but keep the red scarf/cape

Anonymous
The set looks nice, minus the dragon meat on the helmet lol

AnonymousWish the belt rested on the natural waistline like the noble's travelling garb and leather armor. It would look better on both body types. The carian knight armor technically has the same waistline as the drake knight armor, but gives the illusion of a natural waistline and that is part of why that armor looks so good.

AnonymousTake the full set, subtract the helmet, alter the chest piece, equip the aristocrat headband, double-fist dragon communion seals, now you're a lordly drake knight. Looks good for the elden throne cutscene. I recommend hair 13 or hair 31.

AnonymousI forgot this set existed, AND Isn't scrapped content?? Finally, something to distract me from Maliketh.

AnonymousHmm...The drake knight set repeatedly say "drake knights speak not a word" while the drakeblood knight set state "such warriors are attracted to doctrines of few words" ...intriguing...

Drake armor + Queen's cresent crown + Fire prelate gaunlets + Crucible leggings
Peak fashion for female character!
and you have 52 poise and +3 INT for a bonus point
