Elden Ring offers a range of armor sets, each tailored to different playstyles. The Ronin Set stands out for its exceptional efficiency. Firstly, the Ronin Set boasts an incredibly lightweight, ideal for characters with low Endurance. This allows for faster movement and dodging while maintaining good defensive capabilities.
Secondly, the set offers impressive resistance across various damage types. While it may lack exceptional poise for heavy attacks, it provides solid damage negation for its weight class. This balance between mobility and protection makes the Ronin Set popular for agile fighters.
When it comes to getting your hands on the armor, this is where you need to do all the work. Yura’s questline rewards you with Ronin’s armor set; this guide will help you get it.
1. Find Ronin’s Set location in Elden Ring
If you have obtained Eleonora’s Poleblade, then you would have already met Yura, who happens to be wearing the Ronin’s Set. Completing the Bloody Finger Hunter Yura’s questline is how you get the Ronin armor set for yourself in Elden Ring.
You will find Yura on the Mountaintops of the Giants. Getting to the mountaintop requires you to go through Leyndell and defeat Morgot; this will activate the Grand Lift of Rold. Use the grand lift to go to the Mountaintops of the Giants.
During your meeting with Yura, don’t attempt to kill him; it will not give you the armor set, but you will have to complete his quest. The earliest way to obtain the set is by killing Shabiri.
2. Complete Yura’s Questline
To begin the quest, meet Yura at Limgrave under a stone overpass, accept his request, and help him find Bloody Fingers at Murkwater Cave, Raya Lucaria, and the Second Church of Marika at the Altus Plateau.
At Altus Plateau, you will find Yura injured on the ground. Take down Bloody Finger Elenora and head to Zamor Ruins Site of Grace, near the Mountaintops of the Giants.
There, you will encounter yet another ronin with a similar appearance to Yura, but there’s a catch as this NPC entity is no longer Yura. Instead, it goes by the name of Shabriri.
In short, it is Yura’s body, but Shabriri’s soul possesses it. So interacting with this NPC will help you acquire Ronin’s Set in Elden Ring.
3. Meet with Shabriri
Once you can finally access the Mountaintops of the Giants region, go straight past the Rold Lift’s giant doors to reach Zamor Ruins. Here, at its Site of Grace, you will find Shabriri.
He will instruct you on how to inherit the “flame of frenzy”, which will lock you into completing the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending. This method will get you to get the armor set without defeating anyone.
However, if you don’t unlock the frenzied flame ending, you must fight Shabriri to get the Ronin Set. You will find him in Zamor Ruins. This way, all you need to do is to defeat him, and the Ronin Armor set will be yours for the taking.
Whichever way you choose, you will receive the following pieces of the Ronin Set in Elden Ring. These include:
- Ronin Armor (x1)
- Iron Kasa (x1)
- Ronin Gauntlets (x1)
- Ronin’s Greaves (x1)
