Like any armor set in Elden Ring, the Raging Wolf Armor Set consists of leg armor, gauntlets, chest armor, and a helm. Players will need to maneuver through Volcano Manor and join their covenant while completing a few tasks along the way.

The armor set was formerly worn by Vargram the Bloody Wolf, "one of the first Tarnished to visit the Roundtable Hold." If players want to acquire the set, they will need to avoid defeating Maliketh in Crumbling Farum Azula as well as Rykard before finding the armor. Additionally, players will need to refrain from killing Knight Bernahl, who is an NPC that is imperative to the quest to get the armor set.

Retrieve Rya's Necklace

Go to the area of Liurnia shown above and speak to the NPC known as Rya. Rya can be found complaining about a thuggish thief that stole her precious necklace -- initiating a conversation with her will allow players to help her find it by tracking down the thief. Travel to Boilprawn Shack, which is northwest of where Rya and the telescope are located.

The NPC who stole the necklace is outside the Shack, sitting on the ground. He will sell you the necklace for a cheap price. Go back to Rya and give her the necklace. She will thank you and ask the player if they'd like to join the guild at Volcano Manor -- answer yes.

Seek Out Volcano Manor

Elden Ring Grand Lift of Dectus

Players will need to make the long, arduous trip to reach Altus Plateau. Whether taking the Grand Lift of Dectus or navigating the perilous Ruin-Strewn Precipice, Rya can be found waiting for you not far from either location -- by the top of the Lift or near Lux Ruins, depending on how you arrive in Altus Plateau. Rya will offer to make it easier to get to Volcano Manor by taking the player there -- answer yes.

There's an alternate path to reach Volcano Manor and Altus Plateau -- through the Abductor Virgin at the base of Raya Lucaria Academy's waterwheel -- and while this route is valuable to explore, seeking out Rya in Altus is by far a less bumpy ride.

Join The Covenant & Complete Quests

Volcano Manor Tanith

Inside the manor, take a left to find two NPCs. Lady Tanith, the woman, will be sitting in a chair. Speak to her -- she will ask if the player wants to join the manor. Answer yes. Tanith will hand the player a key to another room within the manor. In the room right of where Tanith is located, there's a large table and a letter on the corner of it -- pick it up. Taking the letter will initiate a quest line imperative to acquiring the Raging Wolf Armor. Next to the table, Knight Bernahl will be sitting in a nearby chair.

If players have already killed Knight Bernahl, they will not be able to progress through the quest and thus will be unable to acquire the Raging Wolf armor set. It is important to keep him alive.

Speak to Tanith once again, and she will inform the player that they have a task. Open the map, and a red dot will appear northeast of the manor and far off to the side, this is where a task is. Keep in mind, the player will need to accomplish two tasks -- before and after each, have a conversation with Knight Bernahl. Travel to this location and defeat the NPC that awaits.

After fulfilling this task, head back to Volcano Manor. Tanith will reward the player, and another letter will spawn on the same table where the other letter was located. Pick it up to initiate another quest. Complete this task for the covenant and then speak to Knight Bernahl. He will give the player a letter -- the next red dot on the map will lead players to the Raging Wolf Armor.

Travel Into Leyndell, Royal Capital

Capital City, Fortified Manor first floor map

The dot will appear in the Capital City -- players should have at least a couple of Great Runes before heading to this area. Players should try to reach the Fortified Manor, First Floor's exact location. Go into the dimly lit building -- on the floor in the center of the room, there's a sign where you can invade. Players will meet with two NPCs they'll need to fight. This battle can be fairly difficult, even with Knight Bernahl's extra help. Upon defeating both NPCs, players will be rewarded with the Raging Wolf Armor Set.

Outfit Alterations

If players don't like the cape, they can remove it by altering the appearance of the chest piece. Head to the Church of Vows in Liurnia, and you'll find a chest near a Miriel, Pastor of Vows. Inside, players will find the Golden Tailoring Tools. Afterward, players can go to any site of grace and have the cape removed. Thankfully, if the player changes their mind, they can always alternate between armor variations and put the cape back on, which works for many armor sets in Elden Ring.

Build Suggestions

Player Blocking With Blasphemous Blade

There are plenty of ways you can build a character in Elden Ring, almost all of which rely on more than focusing on just 1 stat. Vigor is a good all-rounder to survive being killed with 1 hit and is something you should always invest some points into to ensure you have room for error to make use of your flasks before getting back into the thick of things. Besides this universally beneficial stat, you should focus on builds that focus on raising particular stats over all the others.

Strength & Intelligence

Making the best Strength & Intelligence build will focus more on what weapons, talismans, and sorceries you make use of. This means it is an ideal build to try with this armor set as The Raging Wolf armor is not an extremely heavy armor that will grant you a solid range of resistances for when something does hit you. While Intelligence offers range, a build that combines it with Strength will have enemies getting closer than you may like — especially for some of your best follow-up attacks.

Blasphemous Blade Build

Once you have gone through the task of obtaining the Blasphemous Blade, you will be able to make use of numerous builds that revolve around having a high amount of Faith. This will be present in both various Faith builds, as well as the best Strength & Faith build in Elden Ring. The Blasphemous Blade lets you deal out damage while healing any damage you may have lost, but you will also need to be able to roll out of harm's way. When you do get hit, you will be able to get back up on your feet and aggressively get back into engaging your opponent to heal back up.

If the build suggestions above are something you found helpful, you may be interested in where you may be able to get your hands on some of the key items to pull them off. You should check how you can obtain the Dark Moon Greatsword, and if you enjoy having a balance of melee and sorceries, be sure to look into making a build for the Sword of Night and Flame.
