The Black Knife Armor is a piece of chest armor in Elden Ring. It belongs to the Black Knife Set. It arrives late in the game, in the Consecrated Snowfield.

The Black Knife Armor is scale armor used by the Black Knife Assassins, forged to make no sound. Traces of power remain in its concealing veil, which muffles the sound of footsteps, so the wearer can sneak up on enemies even at a full sprint and leaves no footprints in the snow. The chest piece is of medium weight with balanced defenses and good holy negation. It suits stealth builds and assassin playstyles, and the nearly transparent cape is needed for the silent effect.

Stats

It offers 19 poise for 9.2 weight.

Altering

Its altered form, Black Knife Armor (Altered), weighs 9 instead of 9.2 and keeps the same 19 poise. Altering works at any Site of Grace.

Notes

"Scale armor used by the Black Knife Assassins, forged to make no sound. Traces of power yet remain in its conceiling veil, which muffles the sound of footsteps. The assassins that carried out the deeds of the Night of the Black Knives were all women, and rumored to be Numen who had close ties with Marika herself."
