Looking good is the real endgame in a Soulborne game, and Elden Ring is no different. For my money, the Armor of Night set worn by Jolan is one of the best-looking sets in the game and really puts me in mind of a heavily armored Nazgul from Lord of the Rings.
How to get the Night Armor set in Elden Ring
The Night Armor set is located in the Bonny Village Gaol dungeon. You can get to Bonny Village by following the directions in our O Mother gesture location guide. Once you get there, continue heading south, across a wooden bridge and past a bunch of broken cages. You should be careful, as two large enemies will attempt to ambush you. Get past them, and you will arrive at a cave on the right, and this is the start of the Bonny Gaol Dungeon.
Walk down into the dungeon until you arrive at a large room with some posts hanging from the roof and a ledge on the right side. Follow the ledge to the far end, take out the Innard, and go in the door there.
In the back of the room, you will find a door you can open. Go inside and grab any items that you can see and take out the enemies. In the back right, you will see a wooden structure that acts as a chute to the level below. Jump down there, but be careful, as this area is filled with corpse slimes.
Make your way west, down the tunnels, and when you get to the next big room, take a hard left and go up the new tunnel. Be careful doing this, as lots of corpse slimes will drop down from the roof and will try to ambush you. These guys get eaten up by fire damage, so use it if you have it.
Keep heading south down the new tunnel, and you will come to a break in the wall that lets you drop down into a blue-lit room filled with pots. There will be all sorts of enemies here, from Innards, to small pots and the more dangerous large pots. Just keep moving forward through all these rooms. There are some random items in these rooms, but nothing that we are focusing on in this guide, and nothing too important that we won’t come back to before the end.
You will eventually come out into a large, cavernous room with a ledge running along the left side. Follow this and go in the open door, cross the room, and open the locked door there. Just keep moving forward through these rooms.
You will come out to a pot moving up and down between levels. Hop on it and go down, then hop off and back on and ride it all the way to the top. If you get stuck at the bottom, there is a small disc you can stand on to restart the circuit. The main thing you wan to worry about here is getting to the very top.
At the top, you will see an item on a guillotine table surrounded by enemies. Take them out, then grab the items, and you officially have the Night Armor set. Follow the ledge around to the left and go up and grab the item off the corpse at the top of the incline. This will also give you the Shield of Knight. If you want to complete the entire cosplay, then you will also need the Sword of Knight. To get this, finish the Ymir Questline, make sure you have an Iris of Occultation, and then give it to Jolan, who will give you the Sword of Night.
Now, it doesn’t seem like the corpse here is actually Jolan, so have no fear, it is likley just some other Knight who fell afoul of the dungeon and never made it out.
