Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree adds dozens of new armor sets for players to find with many being based around the new enemies found throughout the DLC. Some of these armor sets will also be identical to a few of the major bosses players will find throughout the Shadow Realm.

One notable boss that players may get caught up on is Commander Gaius, with his armor set being obtainable after he is defeated. Most of his armor is obtained through one method, with the last piece being obtained in a different method. Here's how to get every armor piece in Gaius' set.
