Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree introduces several new armor sets for Tarnished to find and try. Just as with the base game, almost all the NPCs you come in contact with will be available to acquire at some point during SotE's story. This includes

Ansbach a follower of

Mohg, Lord of Blood , and one of the more interesting characters you'll encounter in the Realm of Shadow. This guide will show you how to find Ansbach, start his quest, and collect

Ansbach’s Set when the time comes.

Ansbach's Armor Set Overview: Pieces & Stats

In Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Ansbach's armor set is made up of four pieces: the

Wise Man’s Mask ,

Ansbach’s Attire ,

Ansbach’s Manchettes , and

Ansbach’s Boots . When all four pieces are equipped, Ansbach's Set weight is 13.9.

Ansbach's Set is the exact same set you see Ansbach wearing throughout the course of Shadow of the Erdtree. His helm is meant to conjure up the image of a 'wise old man,' hiding Ansbach's true appearance. The rest of his outfit is meant to show his adherence to the Pureblood Knights, the truest of Mohg's followers.

Each piece of the set 'slightly enhances Blood Oath and dynastic skills'.

Where To Find Ansbach's Armor Set Location

Close

To get Ansbach's Set in Shadow of the Erdtree, you must complete Ansbach's quest to the very end. You will first come across Ansbach at the Main Gate Cross site of grace, outside Beurat, Tower Settlement. He will be standing right next to Miquella's Cross, near

Moore . There won't be much you can do at this point, but make sure to exhaust his dialogue.

The next step you'll need to take will come when you enter the Specimen Storehouse, in the Shadow Keep. There is a small library section on the first floor where you'll find Ansbach, looking through several stone tablets. Here, you will want to give him the

Secret Rite Scroll , which is found on the upper floors of the storehouse. After resting, and then returning, you'll find two summon markers on the ground. Make sure and choose to help Ansbach. If you side with

Needle Knight Leda here, his quest will be over, locking you out of his armor set. Completing the fight here will earn you

Ansbach’s Longbow .

Once the fight is over, you'll be done with his quest until the very end of the game. When you approach Shadow of the Erdtree's final boss' arena, you will want to make sure to summon Ansbach. No matter what the outcome of the fight is, you will find Ansbach dead against a wall, to the left of the arena's exit. Approach him and interact with his body to collect Ansbach's Set. This is also how you can acquire

Thiollier’s Set , which is found just before Ansbach's.

Some players claim that as long as you've completed Ansbach's questline to the point that his summon sign appears outside the final boss' arena, you will find the items after the fight whether you summoned him or not. We have not tried this yet, so we cannot confirm for sure. As soon as we know the definitive answer, we will update the guide accordingly.
