Hey Tarnished friends! 🙌 Just wanted to share my super detailed guide on snagging that absolutely gorgeous Tree Sentinel armor set in 2026. It's still one of the coolest-looking heavy armor sets in the game, and honestly, the journey to get it is an adventure in itself! It's tucked away in the infamous Auriza Hero's Grave, and let me tell you, it's a puzzle that requires some serious platforming skills and patience. But trust me, the drip is worth every frustrating death!
First things first, you gotta get to the dungeon. I always start from the Outer Wall Battleground Site of Grace in Leyndell. Just head east and follow that winding road down the cliffside. You'll find the entrance to Auriza Hero's Grave. Don't mind the bears hanging around outside—just run past them, open the big door, and take the elevator down. Welcome to chariot hell! 😅

The key to getting the armor is destroying three chariots. Sounds simple, right? Nope! You have to make them crash into each other. From the Site of Grace inside, head west. You'll immediately meet the first chariot roaring down the hall. Sprint past it! You'll eventually come to a long ramp with two chariots running on opposite tracks. This is the infamous double-chariot room. Your goal here is to get to the bottom of that ramp.
Timing is EVERYTHING here. 🕒 Watch the patterns. You need to run on the side where the chariot has just passed, not the one coming toward you! It's a heart-pounding sprint. Once at the bottom, you'll see some stone columns. Go through them, but beware! A third chariot spawns on the other side once you get close. Sneaky!

After the columns, look west. You'll see a corpse lying near a ledge. This is your visual cue! Line yourself up with that body and... take a leap of faith! 😱 You need to drop down onto some hidden pillars below.

This next part is pure platforming. After landing on the first pillar, look down. You'll see beams and cross-sections. Carefully drop down from beam to beam. Pro tip: I always line up my drop with a torch on the wall for consistency. Aim for the cross-sections—they have more surface area to land on. Watch out for a skeleton enemy down here! He can knock you off if you're not careful.

Keep going down until you see a ladder heading south. Climb up! You'll enter a new tunnel. Follow it north into a room. At the top of this room, you'll find a stone pillar with an imp statue. This is the magic button! Hit the pillar.

Hitting that pillar teleports a third chariot into the initial double-chariot room. Mission accomplished! Now, you need to get back there. The fastest way? Either teleport back to the dungeon's Site of Grace or, if you're not carrying too many runes, just let something kill you. It's quicker!
Run back to that double-chariot room. Now, all three chariots are present. Stand back and watch the show! 🎆 They'll eventually collide and destroy each other in a glorious explosion. When the dust settles, your prize will be waiting on the ground:
-
The Full Tree Sentinel Armor Set (Helm, Armor, Gauntlets, Greaves) 🛡️
-
The Holy Ground Ash of War ✨

Let's talk about the armor itself because it's not just for looks!
Stats & Style:
-
Defense: It has fantastic physical damage negation, especially against slashing attacks.
-
Resistance: Really strong fire resistance too!
-
Weight: It's VERY heavy. You'll need a high Endurance or some serious Talisman help (like the Great-Jar's Arsenal) to medium roll with this.
-
Fashion: 10/10. That gold and red aesthetic is unmatched. You instantly look like a boss.
Bonus Perk: Once the chariots are gone, the entire dungeon becomes much safer to explore. You can now freely look for other secrets, like the Crucible Axe armor set from the boss at the end!
My Personal Tips for 2026 Runs:
-
Come Light: Before attempting this, unequip all your heavy armor to maximize your sprint speed and roll distance for the platforming sections.
-
Patience is Key: The chariot timing can feel brutal. Don't get greedy. Wait for the clear opening.
-
Practice the Drop: The pillar-drop section is the trickiest. If you die there, don't get discouraged. It takes a few tries to get the alignment right.
-
Enjoy the Silence: The moment those chariots explode and the dungeon goes quiet... pure bliss. Then you get to swagger around the Lands Between in your fabulous new armor.
Getting this set is a rite of passage for any Elden Ring fashion enthusiast. It's a challenge that tests your nerves and platforming, but the reward is iconic. So gear up, be brave, and go claim that Sentinel drip for yourself! Happy hunting, everyone! 👑
