The Xanthous Set is a light armor set in Dark Souls.

Availability[]

Found on a corpse in the Painted World of Ariamis, behind Crossbreed Priscilla (whether or not the player has killed her). The player must defeat black phantom Xanthous King, Jeremiah in order for the set to spawn. The corpse may not spawn the first time the player visits Priscilla; going through a loading screen should cause it to appear.

Plot[]

Worn by Xanthous King, Jeremiah.

Characteristics[]

This set offers no Poise and little Fire defense; however, it does have great magic and good lightning defense. The Xanthous Crown, whilst being incredibly large, provides the best Curse protection of all headgear, while the other set pieces provide none.

The set also has high Strike Defense, with the Xanthous Crown offering the highest Strike Defense of any headpiece. The Xanthous Waistcloth offers a good defense/weight ratio.

Trivia[]

The name of the set is derived from the Greek Xanthós (Ξανθός, [ksanˈθos]), meaning "yellow", which refers to the color of the cloth.
