Where to find new armor and weapons in Elden Ring’s Tarnished Edition

The new Elden Ring Tarnished Edition has arrived with two new starting classes , the Idus Knight and Heavy Knight, and also new armor sets, some new weapons, and Torrent skins for your trusty steed. You can get one of the new armor sets and weapons straight off by starting the game with either Idus Knight or Heavy Knight, but otherwise here’s where to get the others. It appears that the update is also bringing a lot of DLC weapons to the base game, so I’ll add these as I find them, too.

Idus Sword and Silver Grooved Set location

This armor is worn by the new Idus Knight class and there are two ways to get it. Firstly, you can choose this class at the start of the game to get the armor. This will also get you the Idus Sword weapon.

If you don’t do this, or already have a character, you can purchase the set from the Nomadic Merchant in north Liurnia of the Lakes. This is the merchant on the east side of the ravine that leads to the Ruin Strewn Precipice, north of Bellum Church, southeast from Carian Manor, and west from the Grand Lift of Dectus. You can either get here through Bellum church via the plateau above, or ride to the end of the ravine and turn right up the slope.

Sadly, I haven’t worked out how to get the Idus Sword beyond starting with the class, but I’ll update the info here when I do.

Hefty Scimitar and Heavy Knight Set location

This armor is worn by the new Heavy Knight class and, like the Silver Grooved, there are two ways to get it. If you choose this class as your starting, you’ll get the new armor set as well as the Hefty Scimitar weapon.

If you don’t start new, or want it on a pre-existing character, you can purchase it from the Isolated Merchant at the Isolated Merchant’s Shack in the west of the Weeping Peninsula, south of the Fourth Church or Marika and the Witchbane Ruins, past the walking mausoleum towards the coast. Same as Idus, I’m still looking for the Hefty Scimitar’s location in the world, so will add when I find it.

Leontiel’s Greatsword and Armor Set location

Leontiel’s armor set is available in Caelid after you defeat Starscourge Radahn at Caelid Castle on the southeast coast. Once the boss is done, take Torrent and ride north from the Starscourge Radahn grace towards the War-Dead Catacombs. Along the way, at the spot above, Leontiel will invade, and you’ll have to defeat her, which will earn you Leontiel’s armor and her greatsword. Leontiel will also help you as a summon during the Radahn fight, which is a fun addition.

Golden Order Flail and Broken Gold Mask Set location

The final set is available in Leyndell, Royal Capital, in the Altus Plateau. You get it by casting the Law of Regression spell on the statue of Radagon, which you do during Brother Corhyn’s questline. You can buy the Law of Regression spell by giving the Golden Order Principia prayerbook to Miriel or Corhyn, found on the upper floor of the arena where you fight the golden shade of Godfrey, First Elden Lord.

When you perform the spell at the statue, revealing Marika, you’ll be invaded by Broken Gold Mask. Defeat him to get the Broken Gold Mask headwear, Gold Tattoo arms, legs, and chest, plus the Golden Order Flail. If you’ve already transformed the statue, presumably Broken Gold Mask will just invade when you get to the location marked above. If not, performing the spell again might do it.

If you can’t remember how to get here, from the Erdtree Sanctuary grace (where you fight the golden shade of Godfrey), head out the door, down the stairs, and go down the lift. Follow the path down the next staircase to the bottom, where you’ll find the statue just ahead of you.
