Dark Armor

In-Game Description

Armor of a knight subsumed by dark.

No one knows the true identity of these men
who are said to freely manipulate dark.
Old foreign legends describe them as poor
souls who chased the lost art of lifedrain.

Availability

Mimic drop in Iron Keep.

From the Ironheath Hall bonfire, exit the door. Make a right and run past the Ironclad Soldiers into the next room. Pull the lever to your right and make your way to the ladder that is now accessible at the back of the platform. Climb the ladder and dispatch the Mimic.

Scholar of the First Sin

Mimic drop in The Gutter

From the ledge with the Ring of Soul Protection jump or just run and drop back in to a room in the middle the structure you climbed to get to the ledge. Dispatch the Mimic inside for the Dark Armor and a Lightning Winged Spear. If the loot falls through the wooden floor, there's a hole in the corner of the room you can drop through to the floor below.
