11 Best Early Armors in Elden Ring - All Locations

In this guide I will show you the location of 11 full sets of armors you can get early.
The list is ordered by progression starting with Limgrave then Liurnia then Caelid.

As always I tried to be as clear and concise as possible, and not waste 10 minutes on a single set like some other guides.
(I didn't include the "Knight Set" from roundtable hold as it is very well known already)

Full armor list :
Intro : 0:00
Chain Set - 0:13
Iron Set - 0:35
Kaiden Set - 1:02
Sage Set : 1:53
Leyndell Knight Set - 2:49
Fire Monk Set - 3:31
Carian Knight Set - 4:30
Perfumer Traveler's Set - 5:56
Cleanrot Set - 6:37
Banished Knight Set - 7:41
Beast Champion Set - 8:28

Thanks for watching.

I can't be the only one watching this and going "Which one looks the best?" The desire for fashion over function is real. Thanks for making this list.

Don't get any of them

Get raptor's feathers or use the heavirst and strongest one in the game that you get from patches' quest.

Use the wondrous physick with +450% equipment load,

You can light roll while wearing the best armour

[The-Guys.]

If you have some Free time could you do a short video for the best Dex-strength build

Why cant i run with the cleanrot armour is it cause its heavy or is it like glitch or something sorry im new

[ninjaaxx]

i killed the leyendell knight but he dropped only the book, why?

[iTenzn]

I may challenge myself and farm the cleanrot set early. I'm doing a magic run as I've never done that in any souls game before

[steveskywalker]

[DudeWithTheShoes]

I just started playing and followed your guide from 5 months ago for strong early game build where you started as samurai. Which of these sets is the best to get for me? I have never played souls games so it is quite hard for me haha

[JoaoSantos-fvbk]

I cant jump or roll with carian knight set can somebody tell me why?

[stavronikiforospap]

I just killed both the fire monks but no armor came out wtf

[daboy]

The fire monk armour won't drop as many times as I farm bruh

[ezequieII]

The last armor comes with that dope cape?

[CLMRozendaal]

Most of those sets are not easy to get early in the game

[juan.vasquez]

I have killed the leyndell knight more than 20 times and he doesn't drop the armor

[Jarden_]

why is the banished knight so hard to kill

[volkaenic]

I didn’t know I can’t get raging wolf set because I killed knight bernhal
