Paladin Set - This is found in Gravelord Nito's chamber.

These are good for PVP, as it helps you not get too weighed down, but adds defense still and poise.Įlite Knight Armor Set - Easily obtainable, this is one of the most popular medium armors to use.ĭark Set - It's cool, it's evil looking, and it has good stats! Upgrade it to +5 and it becomes even better. Some people may recommend the Iron Golem Set, but you won't get that from me! Dark Souls: Best Medium Armor Giant Armor Set - This set has the best physical defense of them all when upgraded. It weighs less than the Havel armor set AND provides a lot of poise and defense. This has the great physical defense, great fire defense, lightning defense, and bleed defense.īlack Iron Armor - When upgraded all the way has the best fire defense and best poison resistance - so great for fire & poison levels and against bosses or enemies that use fire or poison). Smough's Armor Set - Some people go this route instead of the Havel route.

You will be a TANK (or as close to a tank as you can get in this game). If you don't need to be fast, then this is the one to get.

It has the best poise, curse resistance, and magic resistance of all heavy armor sets in the game. Havel's Armor Set - This will make you significantly stronger. Alternatively, it works also for those who have a strength & quality / dexterity (dex) build too, which gives you great weapon flexibility. These sets will make you a great tanking machine! Note that you'll need more strength than with other sets, so this is great for a strength build, faith & strength build, pyromancy + strength build, or int / intelligence / hybrid sorcery build. The second ring slot can be anything, such as the WOLF RING which adds 40 extra poise. This takes up a ring slot unfortunately, but it is worth it. These work best when using the HAVEL RING to lighten your load (you should also have more endurance).
