Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree adds an incredible amount of content for players to see. Much of this content is new weapons and armor that give players even more diversity when trying to put together their ideal build.
One possible build is focusing on wearing very heavy armor to absorb huge amounts of incoming damage. After reaching the Shadow Lands in Shadow Of The Erdtree, players can quickly find the Armor of Solitude set along with the Blackgaol Greatsword, which is a very heavy set of armor that can help players take a huge beating before going down.
How To Get Ash of War: Wing Stance (& What It Does) In Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdree
Wing Stance is a new Ash of War for Light Greatswords in Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree; here's how to get it & what it does.
Where To Find The Greatsword & Armor Of Solitude
The Greatsword of Solitude and the full set of armor can be obtained right when entering the Shadow Lands and by finding and defeating the Blackgaol Knight boss. The Blackgaol Knight is found in the Western Nameless Mausoleum which is just west of the Scorched Ruins. As players approach the Mausoleum, they will see dozens of blue ghostly worms coming out of the ground. These creatures aren't naturally hostile, but attacking one will make all of them turn red and begin attacking the player.
Run through the creatures to the Mausoleum towards the base of the cliff. This structure is little more than a stairway leading down to the fog wall into the room with the Blackgaol Knight boss fight.

The Greatsword of Solitude is a powerful strength-focused weapon. Like all the pieces in this set of gear, the sword is fairly heavy weighing in at 15.5. This weapon is also unique in that it has its own skill and can't be infused with an Ash of War. Its unique skill is Solitary Moon Slash, which was seen in the fight against the Blackgaol Knight. This skill launches an arc after a straight-down slash to damage further away enemies and is followed up with a lunge to help close the gap.

Overall, this whole set weighs a lot and will require a player with a very high equipment load to wear it and still move effectively. That being said, the overall very high physical resistances make this armor worth the investment for someone who is already looking to have a high total weight for their armor.
