When it comes to choosing armor in Elden Ring, the only stat that matters is fashion. Defenses are negligible enough that you can get away with wearing whatever looks good, so an astute Invader takes it upon themselves to assess the attire of the robed Tarnished that roam the Lands Between.
EITHER YOU DRIP OR YOU SINK BEARMAN!
In a video posted to r/EldenRing on August 5, a player Redditors call the Drip Inspector warns the community, “If you ever see me raid, you better not be stingy with your Drip.”
The video shows Elden Ring's Drip Inspector raiding three Tarnished at the Mountaintops of the Giants, with one dressed in the Cleanrot set, one in the Tree Sentinel set, and one in the Veteran's set with the Mushroom Crown on his head. Using the Telescope, the Drip Inspector looks each of the Tarnished up and down, then carefully considers their outfits with the "Nod In Thought" gesture.
The Drip Inspector's conclusion: The Tarnished wearing the Mushroom Crown isn't Balenciaga at all. The Inspector gives him a zero using the Ring of Miquella gesture from the DLC, then turns to the other two and says, "You're Beautiful," using the Prattling Pate item.
