Blaidd has been a reliable pal ever since your first meeting. Likewise, you’ll discover that he’s one among Ranni’s most trusted companions. Still, there’s a way so that you can get his gear. Here’s our Elden Ring guide to allow you to obtain Blaidd’s armor set.
Where to search out Blaidd’s armor set in Elden Ring: Location, explained
Blaidd’s armor set is found on his body in front of Ranni’s Rise. To get his armor, it’s good to defeat him. But before that, it’s good to summon Blaidd by putting the Dark Moon Ring on Ranni’s finger.
After a really long trek through multiple regions and secret dungeons, you’ll finally arrive at Moonlight Altar in Elden Ring. Down below the tunnels of the Cathedral of Manus Celes, you’ll discover a bloodied Two Fingers, in addition to a life-like doll of Ranni. In case your character already has the Dark Moon Ring from Rennala’s chest, then the ring might be placed on the doll’s finger.
While no Beyonce song will play, Ranni still manifests in front of you. She tells you to follow the trail of the Elden Lord, and that it is best to tell Blaidd and Iji (the golem smith on the road going to Caria Manor) that she loves them dearly. Other than affecting the ending that you simply’ll get in Elden Ring, this instance may even trigger something else in Blaidd.
In case you return to Three Sisters/Ranni’s Rise, you’ll hear someone speaking in an anguished tone. It’s Blaidd, and he claims that Ranni is connected to his very being. With Ranni gone, he’s been driven mad by grief. When you approach, he’ll immediately attack.
Note: As of now, I’m undecided if there’s a option to actually prevent Blaidd from turning hostile. What I can let you know is that I’ve only encountered him in Mistwood Ruins/Forlorn Hound Evergaol and Caelid/Redmane Castle. Likewise, using a Celestial Dew within the Church of Vows doesn’t work since this can be a kill that’s a part of a story/quest.
The right way to defeat Blaidd in Elden Ring
Blaidd has powerful attacks, but he’s also very slow, allowing you to predict his next moves. He does have a special attack where he leaps into the air, followed by a Frostbite eruption in the world that he lands on.
The right way to get the Black Wolf Mask in Elden Ring
After killing your friend-turned-foe, you’ll receive Blaidd’s armor set in Elden Ring, in addition to the Royal Greatsword. While there’s no wolf helmet named after Blaidd, you’ll be able to get an excellent substitute in the event you go to Seluvis’ Rise (the southernmost tower in Three Sisters).
Use Torrent to double jump on the ruined wall and get to the ledge. You may pick up the Black Wolf Mask here. You may see how the complete set and the mask look on my character within the image below.
Note: I also talked to Smithing Master Iji near the Road to the Manor Site of Grace and he simply apologized for what had happened, so I assume that’s that.
