In-game description


Helm of the Black Knights who haunt Lordran.

The knights followed Lord Gwyn when he
departed to link the Fire but they were
burned to ashes in the newly kindled flame,
wandering the world as disembodied spirits
ever after.

Where to find

Treasure pickup

Kiln of the First Flame

Requirements

  • Open the Kiln of the First Flame.
  1. Fill the Lordvessel with the required Lord Souls to open the large doors below Firelink Shrine. Descend the white passage into the Kiln.
  2. Follow the ash path and ruined stone walkways toward Gwyn. Collect the corpse on the narrow walkway near the sword-wielding Black Knight.
  3. The corpse holds the whole outfit. You can collect it and leave without entering Gwyn's fog.

Notes

  • Weight and poise: Equips on the head, weighs 5 and provides 8 poise. Poise helps resist stagger; it does not reduce health damage.
  • Physical protection: Provides 21 normal physical defense at base reinforcement. Its strongest physical protection at this level is against slash damage. Different attack types use different physical defenses.
  • Protection: At base reinforcement, its elemental defense is 11 magic, 18 fire, 6 lightning. Fire is its strongest elemental defense at this level. Defense values are not percentages of incoming damage blocked.
  • Status resistance: Adds 12 bleed, 6 poison and 0 curse resistance at base reinforcement. These help resist buildup; they do not cure an existing status.
  • Reinforcement: Reinforce to +5 with Twinkling Titanite. Reinforcement improves defenses and resistances without changing weight, poise or maximum durability. Armor does not use weapon embers or elemental conversion paths.
  • Stamina recovery: Wearing this piece slows stamina recovery by 1 point per second. This penalty is separate from the movement changes caused by total equipment load.
  • Armor is fixed treasure: The respawning Black Knights here can drop weapons and materials. Their wearable armor comes from this corpse, not from repeatedly farming the knights.
  • Before the ending: Collect it before defeating Gwyn if you want to keep exploring the current journey. Finishing Gwyn leads into the ending and the next journey.
