Picking the best armor in Elden Ring can be a difficult task. Early in the game, players will likely want to gravitate towards the armor that provides the best protection, regardless of how it looks. But as players progress further into the Lands Between, leveling their characters more and more, the opportunity to wear armor for aesthetic purposes becomes more feasible. This is the situation that many players will find themselves in with Elden Ring's 
Drake Knight Set , as there are sets that provide more protection, but very few make such a visual statement.

The Drake Knight Armor Set is a dragon-themed set encountered fairly late in Elden Ring. Given its location, many players may miss it entirely. This guide will provide players with the set's exact location, providing an opportunity to head into the endgame, and their next playthrough, with some of Elden Ring's coolest looking armor.
How to Get the Drake Knight Armor Set in Elden Ring
Head to Crumbling Farum Azula
To get the Drake Knight Armor, you will need to have access to 
Crumbling Farum Azula . This location is not available until after you complete the 
Mountaintops of the Giants . Once that occurs, entering this region is unavoidable. As you make your way through the area, you will eventually reach the Dragon Temple Rooftop Site of Grace. It is from this location that you will be able to reach the Drake Knight Armor.
From Dragon Temple Rooftop to the Drake Knight Set
Reaching this set is both simple and tricky, as it does not take long, but is also very easy to miss. From Dragon Temple Rooftop, drop to the path below, and make your way past the lift on the left. Watch for two Warhawks, one in the lift chamber, and one just outside it.
After passing the lift, there will be a ladder on the left side of the edge. Take this down and watch for the final Warhawk attack. When that is dealt with, turn back and walk towards the ladder. Looking off the right side of the edge, you'll see a stone platform you can jump to, with the lower level of the lift down below it. Jump to the platform, then to the path below. Follow the path around the lift chamber to find the Drake Knight Armor set in a chest.
How to Use the Drake Knight Armor Set
Putting the Dragon in Dragon Build
While the Drake Knight armor is statistically outclassed in nearly every way by other armors in its group, advanced players will know the true power of this set. As the centerpiece of a Dragon Build, the Drake Knight set lays the foundation with its incredible visuals. The one area that the Drake Knight set wins is in overall weight. Pair it with the Dragon Communion Seal, and any of Elden Ring's Dragon-based incantations, to get the full effect. This is not just for visual effect, the 
Dragon Communion Seal actually enhances Dragon-based incantations. Many of these can be purchased from the 
Church of Dragon Communion in Limgrave, and theCathedral of Dragon Communion in and Caelid.
