The Guardian Set is medium-weighted armor set in Elden Ring. This set is worn by the Guardians who are deemed as the protectors of the Erdtree and all of its minor Erdtrees.
Guardian Set might not look like much but it offers great protection against all types of attacks and offers a boost to all your resistance attributes, making it a great choice for multiple types of builds.
An added perk is that the armor also looks great along with all the protection it offers. The armor covers your character using four parts; Mask, Garb, Bracers, and Greaves. The Garb has two variants – Normal Garb and Garb (Full Bloom).
The Full Bloom variant boosts your Resistance Stats by a lot but at the same time, it lowers your damage negation. Take your pick, based on which situation would you rather be in.
Where to find the Guardian Set in Elden Ring
The Guardian Armor Set is dropped by taking down the Guardians who are found around Erdtree and Minor Erdtrees in Elden Ring.
Guardians are soldiers who died a long time ago and upon death, they were named as the protectors of the Erdtree and now they will protect the Tree that blesses the Land Between for the rest of eternity.
Pieces of the Guardian Armor Set will drop once you take down a Guardian. The drop rate is quite high so you won’t have to spend a lot of time farming all the pieces. Visiting their location a couple of times should do the trick.
The guardians are found in the area surrounding the major and minor Erdtree. You can head down to Dragonbarrow Fork site of grace and from there just start going uphill towards the Minor Erdtree and you will find these warriors in abundance.
Best location to farm the Guardian armor set
Although you won’t have to travel a lot to gather all the pieces for the Guardian Amor Set. You can gather all of them from visiting the Dragonbarrow Fork a couple of times.
If for some reason, you don’t want to go there or you have your reasons, you can also visit the Minor Erdtree in the Weeping Peninsula region.
How to easily defeat Guardians
The guardians stay underground until you are in close proximity. As soon as you get close, they will reveal themselves and engage in battle. Even though they don’t have a big health pool but their attacks sure hit like a truck.
They use Guardian Spears to attack you and can chip off a big chunk of your health in a single blow so it is best to proceed with caution. The best way to deal with them is through ranged attacks.
Their range of attack is pretty small so all you need are some handy ranged attacks, which could be anything from Spells to Ashes of Wars. Since they attack in groups so an attack with a larger AoE can also help you in your endeavors.
Where to find the Guardian Garb (Full Bloom) in Elden Ring
Guardian Garb (Full Bloom) is the alternative version to the normal Guardian Garb. This version offers an additional boost to your defensive and resistance stats at the cost of additional fire damage and lowered damage negation.
This variant is dropped by the Guardians with a flower on their back. They are the same as the normal Guardians in terms of raw strength but only differ in terms of their looks. You can find a couple of fo them around the Erdtree Sanctuary site of grace in Leyndell Royal Capital.
