Not only are you able to withstand more damage, but you are also able to take down bosses as well. The overall change to your game experience once you get the set is just insane. In addition to that, since this item can be brought very early on, you can take advantage of it and use it in some of the early boss encounters. However, it provides amazing physical, magic, fire and lightning resistance, which makes this armor one of the best all-rounders in the game. Similar to some other sets, this one can't be upgraded. After that, you just need to open the chest, that is, if you are not dead from the enemies which will be following you. Luckily, you can just goo through them and get the stairs which will lead you an area filled with ruins where there will be a c chest. However, there will be plenty of enemies there which you need to be aware of. You can get it immediately after you purchase the Crest of Artorias and unlock the door in the Darkroot Garden.

This set is definitely a little bit harder to obtain but it is definitely worth the hassle.
