# Chest Armor Template The **Elite Knight Armor** is a chest piece in Dark Souls and part of the **Elite Knight Set**. Worn by a nameless knight of implicit Astoran origin, its blue surcoat features a fire-warding heraldic emblem. Compared to the standard **Knight Armor**, the Elite Knight Armor provides superior physical defense across all categories but offers less protection against magic and fire damage, making **Knight Armor** a better choice for such encounters. As the player's endurance improves, allowing for higher carry weight, the **Elite Knight Armor** can be equipped without movement penalties. > *Armor of a nameless knight, perhaps an elite knight of Astora, based on the fire-warding heraldic symbol on its blue surcoat.* > > *Although he was loath to give up on his Undead mission, he perished at the Undead Asylum, and went Hollow.* #### Effects special effects go here #### Location this Helm is found here #### Stats & Upgrade Table
