- Main article: Armor (Dark Souls)
For categorization purposes on this wiki, Heavy Armor Sets are armor sets in Dark Souls that have a total weight of 40 or more.
Wearing heavy armor will slightly reduce the player's stamina regeneration, along with certain pieces of other armor sets. Each piece of heavy armor will reduce the stamina regeneration rate by 2 per second for all body armor pieces, and 1 per second for all other pieces. Furthermore, if the player has an equip load that is higher than 50%, they will suffer a further 20% stamina regeneration penalty. Using Havel's Ring allows one to increase their equipment load, allowing them to wear Heavy Armor more easily.
