The Armor of Thorns is a chest armor piece in Dark Souls. It is part of the Set of Thorns.

In-Game Description

Armor of Kirk, knight of Thorns and notorious member of the Darkwraiths. A dense patch of thorns grows from its surface.
It is a fitting item for the murderous Kirk, for by simply wearing it and rolling, one can damage enemies.

Found after defeating Kirk, Knight of Thorns for the third and final time in Lost Izalith near the Bed of Chaos door. It is on a corpse near Quelaag's Sister in Quelaag's Domain in the dead end area.

Characteristics[]

Deals 50 physical damage when rolling into nearby enemies. The damage dealt is added together with any of the other pieces of armor from the set.

Upgrades[]

Requires 200 souls per upgrade.
