In the base game of Elden Ring, you could wear the armor sets of the bosses you defeated, a feature many players loved; after all, who wouldn’t enjoy running around in Malenia’s Set? Thankfully, this mechanic remains in the acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

There are many tough and unique bosses in the DLC whose armor sets you’ll want to acquire, one of which is Messmer’s Set . The process is straightforward, though it may take a couple of attempts. Here’s everything you need to know about Messmer’s Set.

Learn how to acquire the Horned Warrior Armor Set in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC by defeating one enemy over and over again.

How To Acquire Messmer’s Set

Most players won’t be able to miss Messmer’s Set, at least those who decide to continue playing the challenging expansion. To acquire this armor set, players must first defeat the demigod boss Messmer the Impaler. He’s one of the main bosses in the DLC and is located in the Shadow Keep Specimen Storehouse near the Dark Chamber Entrance Site of Grace. He’s a tough boss who efficiently utilizes his kit, which includes a long spear and two ally snakes. It would be best if you also watched out for his fire-based attacks.

After defeating him, you need to visit Finger Reader Enia, located at the Roundtable Hold. Talk to her and select ‘Receive equipment of champions.’ You should now be able to purchase Messmer’s Set.
