My weirdest outfits

Buy the Smelter Demon set from Maughlin the Armorer after defeating it in the Iron Keep. With its hooves and horned head, you look like a sort of fancy dress bull without the back end. But, you know, from Hell.

There's something unsettling going on here. I can't work out if it's the creepily impassive Manikin Mask, the Bandit Armour with sheep skull-lined shoulder, or the barely-there loincloth. Probably all three *shudder*. The mask drops from Manikin in Earthen Peak, and Magerold in the Iron Keep sells the Bandit Set.

There are two headpieces to the Dragon Acolyte set—a mask and a hood. The former can be farmed, along with the rest of the set, from Dragon Acolytes in Aldia's Keep. They jump out from behind giant paintings. The latter (pictured) is a little rarer, a drop from the giant caged basilisk just before. To ensure better drop rates, turn the page for a series of pragmatic armour for all occasions.
