Gauntlets of Thorns

In-Game Description

Gauntlets of Kirk, knight of Thorns and
notorious member of the Darkwraiths. A dense
patch of thorns grows from their surface.

They are a fitting item for the murderous
Kirk, for by simply wearing them and rolling,
one can damage enemies.

Availability

Treasure from a corpse at the dead end behind Quelaag's Sister's bonfire in Quelaag's Domain, along with the rest of the Set of Thorns. The corpse only appears if you defeated Kirk, Knight of Thorns in all three places (Depths, Demon Ruins, and Lost Izalith).

General Information

• Part of the Set of Thorns
• Increases physical AR by 20 for rolls and punches. This includes bare fist's, several Fist Weapons', Talisman's, and Pyromancy Flame's punching attacks. Damage increase doesn't apply to critical damage or jumping attacks, including plunging attacks.
• None of these damages are increased by Power Within or Red Tearstone Ring. For example an attack with a fist weapon may deal 300 Damage, with the 20 AR of Thorns that might increase to 318 Damage, a difference of 18 Damage. The Red Tearstone Ring would then multiply the regular Damage of 300 to 450, then add the 18 Difference, giving 468 total Damage.
• Added AR is independent of upgrade level.
