One of the biggest draws to Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is the promise of new weapons and armor sets to find and equip. Nothing beats the thrill of finding a completely new piece of gear and trying it out for the first time.

The High Priest Armor Set is a brand-new armor set introduced in the Elden Ring DLC. Obtained by completing Count Ymir’s long questline in the Cathedral of Manus Metyr, it is more than worth the trouble, especially for aspiring Finger Sorcerers.

High Priest Armor Set Overview: Pieces & Stats

In Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, the High Priest armor set is made up of four pieces: the High Priest Hat , High Priest Robe , High Priest Gloves , and High Priest Undergarments . The Hat adds +1 to both Intelligence and Arcane. When all four pieces are equipped, the High Priest set weight is 9.8.

When equipped, the complete set emulates the look of Count Ymir, the NPC who originally wears this set in the game. The gold collar that fans out around the head tends to clip on larger head pieces from other armor sets, making it somewhat awkward to mix and match.

Elden Ring - Shadow Of The Erdtree - Path To Cathedral Of Manus Metyr and Count Ymir

The High Priest Set is a reward for defeating Count Ymir at the end of his questline in the Elden Ring DLC. This quest involves finding and ringing three bells in three finger ruins across the map. After triggering the start of the quest by talking to Ymir in the Cathedral of Manus Metyr to obtain the first Ruins Map, here are the steps players need to take in order to fight Ymir:

Talk to Ymir to get the second Ruins Map and ring the bell in the Finger Ruins of Dheo, which can be reached by going through the Hinterlands from the Shadow Keep.

Return to Ymir and talk to him again until you get the third Ruins Map, pointing towards the Ruins of Miyr. This map points to an underground area underneath the Cathedral itself. To reach it, rest at the nearby Site of Grace, and Ymir will disappear from his post. Interact with his throne and it will move out of the way to reveal a ladder that leads down to the Finger Ruins of Miyr. Take the ladder and ring the bell at the end to be teleported to the fight against Metyr, Mother of Fingers.

How to Get the Finger Robe (Altered High Priest Robe)

The Finger Robe can be obtained by altering the High Priest Robe for 500 Runes using either Boc the Seamster ’s services or by using the Sewing Needle and Tailoring Tools (if you have them). After being altered, the look of the Robe changes from a relatively normal purple garb with a golden collar to a red, white, and gold robe with grey fingers seemingly struggling to burst out of the chest. The Finger Robe has different stats from the base version. Here are the details:
