Where To Find Dane’s Armor
Collect The First Three Pieces Of The Set
The first three pieces of Dane’s Armor set can be foundsoutheast of the Shadow Keep, a massive fortress in the northeast section of the Land of Shadow. This keep is where you can take on many of the bosses fromShadow Of The Erdtree, includingMessmer The Impaler inElden Ring. The gear you’re looking for is down the river stemming from the Keep, down below the structure in the waters closer to the ground.
To go to the waters under the Shadow Keep, go left from the Main Plaza Site of Grace and to the left to travel up the ramparts of the structure. On the larger walkways above, go east past enemy groups until a ladder on the left can help you descend to the water.Go beyond the waterfallto enter an area where the water runs off, where a coffin you can enter will take you to the landscapes where you can find the armor set.
Those who are looking for magical painting puzzles will find the"Domain of Dragons"painting in a small room right before the coffin below the Keep. Investigate this artwork to indicate a location in the Jagged Peak where you may recover a hidden treasure.
Using the Abyssal Wood map, you shouldunlock the Castle Watering Hole Site of Graceas a landmark for you to start your travels. From this point,go south down the water’s currentuntil you reach the Recluses' River Upstream Grace Site some distance away. This resting spot should be right next to a huge waterfall leading down with a small path along the cliffs to your left showing you a path forward.
Go along this route anduse Torrent to jump over the right sidebefore looping back around tofind a way down to where the waterfall ends. Falling down onto ledges to the bottom of the waterfall will reveal an item you can pick up that includes theDryleaf Robe,Dryleaf Arm Wraps, andDryleaf Cuissardes. These are the chest, guantlet, and leg armors for the Dane set, but it is not complete yet.
How To Get Dane’s Hat
Challenge Dryleaf Dane To A Duel
The final piece of Dane’s armor set,Dane’s Hat, can be received when youdefeat the NPC Dryleaf Dane in a duel. This character is a monk you may have already met while exploring the Land of Shadow in the Gravesite Plain region. For those who haven’t met this character, you can easily find him near the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace, an area not too far from the Belurat Tower Settlement area.
To duel Dryleaf Dane, you have topick up the item next to the Highroad Cross Grace Site called the"Monk’s Missive.“This letter asks any traveler to come and initiate a duel with Dane, who has been looking for a truly worthy opponent. Alongside the Missive, you will receive the"May The Best Win"gesture, which you can perform in front of Dane to be teleported into a battle arena with the NPC now acting as a boss.
As you can see in the above video by YouTube creatorGaming with Abyss, Dane’s Hat and the Dryleaf Arts weapon appear back near the Moorth Ruins Grace Site once you are teleported back from the arena where you fought Dryleaf Dane once he’s been beaten.
Dryleaf Dane uses the Hand-to-Hand SacredDryleaf Arts weapon inElden Ring, making them a master of close-range combat against your character. You’ll have to dodge Dane’s strikes and a few Faith spells to take down the monk and claim the warrior’s gear for yourself. In addition to Dane’s Hat, you also gain theDryleaf Artsweapon for you to use depending on your character’s build inShadow Of The Erdtree.
Dane Armor Set Stats, Strengths, & Weaknesses
Use Light Armor Wisely In Combat
The Dane armor set may look incredibly cool as a reminder ofBloodborne’s aesthetic, but you have to keep in mind thatthis gear is considered Light ArmorwithinElden Ring.

However, this also causes your character to have limited defenses against various damage types.

This makes the armor perfect for taking on enemies who can inflict Madness, such as the optional Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame boss inElden Ring. Despite the lack of physical defenses, the magical and elemental resistances are decent enough to make this armor worth using against enemy spell casters.
