Elden Ring features innumerable sets of armor fit for players of various classes and playstyles. There is no shortage of protection, leaving players with a vast selection of options, each with its allure and proficiencies. However, some armor sets in Elden Ring have more to offer players beyond the typical means of protection. The Sage armor set is one such collection of equipment, improving the fortitude of Astrologers and the like.
The Sage armor set capitalizes on the strengths of magic-based characters, making them more effective against enemies. While it has less overall resistance than the starting equipment of Astrologers, it has a much lighter load. The Sage armor set allows players to equip heavier equipment while maintaining a Medium Equip Load or even a Light Equip Load. Thus, preserving the effectiveness of their ability to dodge, which proves more beneficial to mages than defenses or resistances. So, here is how to get the Sage armor set in Elden Ring.
How To Get The Sage Armor Set In Elden Ring
The Sage armor set resides in Stillwater Cave in Liurnia of the Lakes. Players can reach this location on foot or horseback by traveling northwest from Stormveil Castle. In doing so, players will come across a cliff, where they will find the mouth of Stillwater Cave at its bottom. Players should heed caution when approaching this location, as two Jellyfish patrol its entrance. While inherently not hostile towards players, they will attack if any harm comes to them. So, players should altogether ignore the Jellyfish and enter Stillwater Cave.
Proceeding through the cavern's entrance, players will shortly come across a Site of Grace. They should rest at the Site of Grace to take advantage of its benefits and prepare for what lies ahead. In particular, players should take time to craft poison cures, as it proves to be a predominant danger in Stillwater Cave. They must also ensure that they possess a ranged weapon or spell to better combat enemies. Once preparations are over, players can continue deeper into Stillwater Cave.
Eventually, the cavern will open up into a more expansive area with basins of poisonous fluid. When entering this area, players must begin sneaking to avoid attracting unwanted attention. Just ahead, there will be Servants of Rot, Giant Poison Flowers, and a Giant Bat, all of which prove to be challenging adversaries. Players must slink around the deadly basins while dispatching distant and pressing threats silently with ranged attacks. They must continue forward until they arrive at a poisonous trench.
Here, players will find a tunnel across the trench and another path to the right leading deeper into Stillwater Cave. They must carefully cross the narrow depression to the other side, where they will find a tunnel. Maintaining a covert approach, players must go through the tunnel until they arrive at another open section of Stillwater Cave. Before proceeding any further, players should stop to observe their surroundings.
Hanging from the roof, players will find two GiantBats and a Harpy lying in wait. Rather than charging into the cavern gung-ho, players must slay enemies one-by-one with ranged attacks while maintaining stealth, eliminating them quickly. Otherwise, they will be overwhelmed with a barrage of attacks and meet their untimely end. Once the enemies are defeated, players can move deeper into the cave, where the Sage armor set lies.
Just ahead, players will find a corpse half-submerged in a poisonous liquid. On its body, players will find the Sage armor set. They should collect the armor quickly, as the surrounding fluid will poison them in time. In addition to the Sage armor set, players can find Serpent Arrows on the right side of this area. Now they must exit Stillwater Cave or explore its vast expanses. With that, players have obtained the Sage armor set.
