Acquisition

You can obtain the Solas Plate set from completing certain quests and reaching 100 Trust with notable named NPCs.

Solas Plate Helmet Location

You receive the Solas Plate Helm from Arthur Elmore at Brookfield Manor in the capital city of Demeniss after reaching 100 Trust with him. He likes flowers and expensive stealables like golden goblets, fancy vases, and magnum opus paintings.

Solas Plate Chestpiece Location

You receive the Solas Plate Armor (and Solas Plate Boots) for completing Chapter VII: Homecoming.

Solas Plate Cloak Location

You receive the Solas Plate Cloak from Marshal Barden Middler after reaching 100 Trust with him. He likes Flowers and Weapons Boxes. Your best bet is give him gifts when you run into him during the story because he moves around a lot.

Hernand Town is Middler’s home base. He sleeps on the first floor of Oakenshield Manor, so check there at night. He isn’t always there, though.

After Chapter VIII: Blood Coronation, you can find him at Musket First Outpost in northeastern Demeniss and he’ll remain there until you finish the main story.

Solas Plate Gloves Location

The regular Solas Plate Gloves seem to be associated with Matthias, the knight you fight in Hernand Town during Chapter II: Golden Greed, but they are not presently obtainable.

The only alternative is the Eclipsed Solas Plate Gloves, which you get for defeating Bastier at the Spire of Clockwork in Demeniss at the end of Chapter VIII: Blood Coronation.

You’ll have to dye all the metal pieces of the armor if you want unblackened gloves.

Solas Plate Boots Location

You receive the Solas Plate Boots from Shakatu at the Goldleaf Guildhouse on Unicorn Cliff in Hernand after reaching 100 Trust with him. He likes Unpackaged Trade Goods and flowers.

Ceremonial Warhammer

The Ceremonial Warhammer is not officially part of the Solas Plate set, but it just matches so perfectly that it deserves to be mentioned.

You can purchase the Ceremonial Warhammer from the Equipment Shop in Tariv in northwestern Demeniss.

The Dark Worshipper’s Staff is another solid contender, but the style and aesthetics don’t match quite as well.
