The Iron Dragonslayer Set is a heavy armor set in Dark Souls III: The Ringed City.
In-Game Description
- Stark melted iron body armor of the ancient Dragonslayer Armour.
- The Armour, defeated by the Champion of Ash in Lothric, was left ages to rust, until it slipped into an abyssal swamp, where it was possessed once again by the memory of the hunt.
Availability[]
Dropped by the Iron Dragonslayer in the Ringed City.
Lore[]
This set of armor once belonged to a legendary dragon-slaying warrior who served Lord Gwyn's Firstborn and Dragon Slayer Ornstein. Long after it lost it owner, it became possessed by Pilgrim Butterflies and challenged the Ashen One as a boss.
Upon defeat, it was abandoned and lost for many years. The armor is finally rediscovered in the Ringed City, revived by the cursed abyssal swamp it resides in.
Characteristics[]
As protection worn by a dragonslayer who served the divinity, the Iron Dragonslayer Set has very strong defenses.
The set provides very strong resistances to physical damage types across the board, though like other plate metal sets it has a severe weakness to Strike damage. In order to ground its wielder against the very lightning it wields, the set also has strong defense against Lightning damage, and is also quite resistant to the Dark. However, it has weaknesses against Magic and Fire damage. It has relatively strong resistance against status effects, being particularly resistant to Bleed buildup, though it does not tolerate Curse buildup well.
With a moderately high weight compared to other heavy armor sets, the Iron Dragonslayer Set provides very good Poise, allowing its wearer to easily wield and trade with ultra weapons.
