The Northern Set is a medium armor set in Dark Souls III.

In-Game Description

Iron armor of a stalwart northern warrior. Supported by interwoven chainmail.
Iron defensive wear grants superior absorption. Being from the north, it should also offer resistance to the cold.

Availability[]

Characteristics[]

The Northern Set provides very good defenses against all forms of Physical damage, being particularly resistant to Strike damage, a powerful distinction from plate armor sets that are usually weak to it. It provides relatively poor defense against elemental damage, save for Fire damage, which it is quite resistant to.

It has a good array of status effect resistances, being particularly strong against Frost buildup. However, it also has a relatively poor poise-to-weight ratio, allowing a greatsword-wielder to trade against lighter weapons but little more beyond that.
