Chain Set location in Elden Ring
So if you want to acquire the Chain Set in Elden Ring then you can do so by venturing to the (Limgrave) Church of Elleh, the site of grace in Elden Ring. This can be found near the First step area where you will begin your journey in Elden Ring so once you get there you can interact with the Merchant at the Church.
This NPC merchant Kale will be dressed like a Santa with a red cap and red jacket, and you will find him near the pillar in the church area. So next you need to approach him and interact with him in Elden Ring.
In his Purchase Item section, you will find all the pieces of the Chain Set listed for a combined price of 4500 ruins in Elden Ring. These will include the Chain Coif which you can purchase from the merchant for 1000 Runes.
Similarly, the rest of the set pieces will be priced like the chain armor for (1500), Gauntlets for (1000), and lastly the chain leggings for 1000 runes in Elden Ring. Keep in mind that this way the Chain Set can be purchased early in Elden Ring as well.

This NPC will be known as the Twin Maiden Husk and in order to get the pieces of the Chain Set from her you will have to complete a certain mission.
The objective for that mission will involve you bringing the Kale’s Bell Bearing back to this merchant and after that, you will get the option to buy the Chain Set in Elden Ring.
