The Battlemage Armor Set is a cloth spellcaster armor set in Elden Ring. The armor is made up of a total of four pieces; Haima Glintstone Crown, Battlemage Robe, Battlemage Manchettes, and Battlemage Legwraps.
If you are on the look for an armor that can protect you from heavy physical attacks then you can stroll past this one but if you want to give your Intelligence and Strength a boost of +2 at the bargain cost of 10% FP, then this is exactly what you are looking for.
On top of that, the armor is light and won’t weigh you down by much, making it perfect for Intelligence Builds. In this guide, we are going to be covering every detail about how you can get the armor.
Where to find the Battlemage armor set in Elden Ring
You simply have to defeat a Battlemage in Elden Ring to get the complete Battlemage armor set. The important thing to note here is that you will not get the set from any random Battlemage enemy in the game. You have to kill a particular Battlemage that is located between the Windmill Pastures.
To find the Battlemage, you first need to get to Altus Plateau. Once here, head north of the Minor Erdtree to the northern corner of the map. On the cliff, you can find the settlement East Windmill Pasture, and the end of the broken bridge just South of it.
How to defeat the Battlemage in Elden Ring
Taking down the Battlemage might seem like a task at first but once you know the trick, you can cheese through the battle. If you have a melee build then it might take a bit longer to close the gap and take down the Battlemage but if your build is focused on more ranged attacks then you are in luck.
This method works regardless of the type of build you have. All you have to do is when you are crossing the bridge, make sure you sneak up behind the Battlemage and stab him from the back.
From there, just deal as much damage as possible before he gets back up. From that point onwards, the fight is basically over and you can take him down in a matter of few blows.
Once you have taken him down, the Battlemage Armor set will be all yours to take.
Battlemage Set stats
The armor offers very little in terms of physical damage negation. The total physical damage that the armor will provide is 12.7 against physical strikes. The maximum physical negation is 6 and that is on the chest piece, meaning that any physical attack will deal tremendous damage to the player.
Where the armor truly shines is the magic resistance, denoted by Focus. It has high magic resistance and is good against enemies that use magic spells, specially Godfry’s Spirit, and Gideon in the later game areas.
The Haima Glintstone Crown deserves a special mention because it is responsible for giving you additional Intelligence and Strength.
The armor is also very light (10.4) and can be easily used by players who have opted for casting builds, so they don’t have to face the problems of being overburdened.
