This is the set of poor King Vendrick, and if you thought acquiring it would be as easy as picking his gear from his corpse, you are going to disappointed. It requires a little bit of backtracking to the Shrine of Amana, where you can find a hidden path just a little way beyond the second bonfire in the area. Once Vendrick is defeated, which is no easy feat considering the fallen King can quite comfortably kill off most builds in one or two swings, you can open this hidden pathway and gain access to his armour. With its dark colours, layered design and awesome black cloak, it's easily one of the coolest looking sets of armour in the game. It even comes with a crown to let those pesky demons know who's boss. The included shield also provides a nice upgrade to the Drangleic Shield, a likely component of most sword-and-board builds throughout the game thus far. f you really want to cosplay as Vendrick, you can also acquire his Ultra Greatsword by trading his soul to Weaponsmith Ornifex.
