In Elden Ring, you get tons of different armor sets with their own unique properties. However, if you are looking for the best heavy armor set in the game then the Beast Champion Set is amongst the very best in Elden Ring. The reason is that it grants you incentives like high poise and resistance. Moreover, it also boosts the overall damage negation making you last longer in difficult fights situations in the game.
The Beast Champion Armor set has a cool design and its cape gives a royal look to your tarnished. It can be obtained early from the Warmaster’s Shack area in the game, depending on your progress in Elden Ring.
As it is procured by defeating the Knight Bernahl so you can get it both early and late in the game if you wish to play Bernahl’s questline which is one of the most rewarding questline in the game at the Volcano Manor. At the end, he will spawn and fight you after which you will get the Beast Armor set in Elden Ring.
In the beginning, the Beast Champion Armor set may look a bit underwhelming and the reason for that may be that you haven’t unaltered the chest piece. So you can use a sewing kit to get the much more improved and arguably best-looking cape for this armor set in Elden Ring.
That being said this heavy armor consists of four parts. These include the Beast Champion Helm, Armor, Gauntlets, and Greaves. So we have prepared this guide to assist you with getting the Beast Champion Set in Elden Ring.
Beast Champion Set location in Elden Ring
You can acquire the Beast Champion set by following any of these two ways:
By killing knight Bernahl in your first encounter
This way is considered to be a faster way if you are looking to achieve the Beast Champion Set early in Elden Ring.
- Make your way to the Warmaster’s Shack, and there you will find Bernahl. This knight will spawn at that place as an Invader, so simply approach him in Elden Ring.
- Now you don’t need to start any conversations with Knight Bernahl, instead, you can just engage him in a fight by attacking him first. He will oblige the challenge and the fight will continue.
- Keep attacking him until you finally kill him and then you will get the Beast Champion Set as a reward for defeating Knight Bernahl in Elden Ring.
However, keep in mind that the choices you make here will affect the outcome later. Killing the knight Bernahl here means that he will not appear at the Volcano Manor, and you won’t be able to complete his quests there in Elden Ring.
That being said, if you have spared the Knight Bernahl then you can follow this second way below.
Completing the Knight Bernahl questline
- You need to venture to the Warmaster’s shack and interact with Knight Bernahl there. Once you engage in conversation with him he will question your faith in the guidance. After learning that you are a fellow tarnished like him he will continue with the conversation after which you can leave.
- You will meet Bernahl again but this time at the Volcano Manor. Once you reach that place and meet with Lady Tanith you will be given the option to join the Volcano Manor. After accepting it and getting the drawing room key you can go to meet the knight. However, this time he will now go by the name of Recusant Bernahl.
- Once you have completed the first Volcano manor request you can go back and talk with Bernahl. He will have embraced the recusant title fully and this means hunting his own kind and becoming a wretched predator.
- Similarly, after the second volcano manor request you can meet with Bernahl and this time he will give you a request “Vargram” to complete in Elden Ring. This invitation will involve you hunting the first tarnished who sat at the Roundtable. So once you accept it you need to reach the target location. There you will be tasked with defeating Vargram the Raging Wolf and the Errant Sorcerer Wilhelm.
- After that, you simply need to report back to Bernahl at the Volcano Manor. As part of completing the task, he will present you with a reward from Lady Tanith. So you will receive Glemir’s Fury in Elden Ring. Then you can leave and proceed with the other missions.
- So after defeating Rykard the lord of Blasphemy, you can go see Bernahl again. He will mention that the Volcano Manor is no more and that they can still fulfill an old promise. This will include rising against the Erdtree. After some conversation, you can leave.
- Once you engage in the Godskin Duo Boss fight which takes place in Crumbling Farum Azula, you will have the option to summon Bernahl. Together you can defeat the Godskin Duo in Elden Ring.
- The final confrontation between you and Bernahl will take place at the tower. This event will occur after you pass the great bridge site of grace and make your way to acquiring the “Old Lord’s Talisman” from the treasure chest at that tower. Before reaching the chest you will be invaded by Recusant Bernahl. So you can kill him, and the Beast Champion set will be yours for the taking in Elden Ring.
