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. 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.
