The Verdigris Set in Elden Ring’s “Shadow of the Erdtree” DLC is a coveted armor set that not only enhances your defense but also adds a striking aesthetic to your character. Acquiring this set requires completing a questline involving an NPC named Moore. Here’s a detailed guide on how to get your hands on the Verdigris Armor Set.
Step 1: Initiate Moore’s Questline
Your journey to obtain the Verdigris Set begins by meeting Moore. At the start of the DLC, you can find him near the Main Gate Cross. Engage in a conversation with Moore, and he will set up a store where you can purchase items. Exhaust all his dialogue options to ensure the questline progresses smoothly.
Step 2: Progressing with Black Syrup
As you advance through the game, make sure to speak with Moore again before breaking a great rune. He will gift you an item called Black Syrup. This item is crucial for the next steps in the questline.
Step 3: Deliver Black Syrup to Thiollier
Next, head to the Pillar Path Cross and locate an NPC named Thiollier. Give Thiollier the Black Syrup and exhaust all his dialogues to receive Thiollier’s Concoction. This concoction plays a significant role later in the quest.
Step 4: Break a Great Rune
Continue progressing through the story until you reach Shadow Keep. Here, you will receive a notification that a great rune has broken. This event triggers the next phase of the quest. Return to Moore after breaking the rune, and you will be presented with three choices:
- Put it Behind You
- Remain Sad Forever
- Don’t Talk to Moore
Each choice leads to a different path to obtain the Verdigris Armor Set.
Moore’s Ending 1: Put it Behind You
If you choose “Put it Behind You,” Moore will later join a fight against you, alongside Knight Leda. After defeating them, you can loot Moore’s corpse to obtain the Verdigris Set, which includes the Verdigris Greatshield, Helm, Armor, Gauntlets, and Greaves.
Moore’s Ending 2: Remain Sad Forever
Choosing “Remain Sad Forever” will lead you to find Moore’s body near the Church of the Crusade. His corpse will be guarded by enemies, and upon reaching it, you can collect the full Verdigris Armor Set.
Moore’s Ending 3: Didn’t Talk to Moore
If you fail to talk to Moore and proceed with the game, you still have a chance to get the armor. After burning the Sealing Tree, locate and kill a Forager Brood, which will trigger Moore to invade you. Defeat Moore in this invasion to acquire the armor set.
