In-game description


Chainmail armor of thin interlinking rings of
steel. It is common throughout the human
world since it can be easily produced, is not
too heavy, and offers good defense.

Knights may favor flashy armor, but for
warriors on the battlefield, anything is
fine as long as it keeps them alive.

Where to find

Merchant purchase

Undead Burg

Cost: 800 Souls · Stock: ∞

Requirements

  • Reach Firelink Shrine after leaving the Undead Asylum.
  • Keep the male Undead Merchant alive and friendly.
  1. If you have not reached Undead Burg yet, leave Firelink Shrine by the stairs climbing toward the large stone bridge. Fight past the Hollows on the hillside and enter the water passage inside the bridge. Watch for the rat near the entrance, then follow the passage to the exit and stairs into Undead Burg.
  2. Follow the route through the buildings and up onto the rampart. Clear the Hollows and the crossbow soldier on the small tower, then enter the bonfire room beside that tower. Rest here before looking for the merchant.
  3. Leave the room and clear the nearby crossbow soldier and the Hollows on the lower platform. If you rested, these enemies will have returned.
  4. Look for the short walkway to a separate rooftop guarded by two soldiers with spears and shields. Cross to that roof and deal with both soldiers.
  5. Break the wooden crates around the stair opening on the rooftop, then go downstairs. Check the room for the Hollow hiding behind the furniture before stopping to shop.
  6. Go through the doorway onto the outside ledge. Speak to the seated merchant and buy Chain Armor from his armor inventory.
  • Keep attacks away from the merchant. Killing him permanently removes this shop for the current playthrough.

Enemy drop

Oolacile Township

Requirements

  • Reach the Oolacile Township Dungeon bonfire, below the lift guarded by the Chained Prisoner.
  1. From the dungeon bonfire, go back along the corridor to the lift. Ride it up and enter the hall above.
  2. Defeat the Chained Prisoner and collect any dropped items. It can drop Chain Armor, but the piece is not guaranteed.
  • His ball-and-chain swings cover a wide area and can drain a blocking character's stamina.
  • Buying from the Burg merchant is a much earlier, guaranteed alternative.

Notes

  • Weight and poise: The body piece weighs 6.0 and contributes 9 poise. Include your weapons and shields when deciding whether the additional weight fits the roll speed you want.
  • Physical defenses: Its physical defense is strongest against slash damage. At base level it adds 30 normal physical defense, with the slash and thrust values adjusted separately.
  • Elemental limits: Adds 21 magic, 16 fire and 7 lightning defense at base level. These are defense points, not direct percentages of damage reduction. It adds no curse resistance.
  • Completing the outfit: The matching head, hands and legs are Chain Helm, Leather Gauntlets and Chain Leggings. Pieces are sold separately; buying the chest does not include the other three.
  • Other source: The Chained Prisoner in Oolacile Township can drop this outfit's pieces. You do not need to reach the DLC to buy Chain Armor from the Burg merchant.
  • Reinforcement: Uses ordinary Titanite reinforcement up to +10. Upgrades improve the supported defenses and status resistances, but do not increase poise or lower equipment weight. You do not need an armor ember to cross +5.
  • Choosing pieces: You can mix this piece with other armor. The full Chain outfit weighs 17.2 and contributes 26 poise before adding weapons and shields. Include all equipped gear when keeping within your preferred movement threshold.
