I was referring to Dark Souls 2. There's certain armor sets that:

>Only drops off a unique non-respawning enemy
>Enemy only shows up from NG+ onward
>Chances of a piece dropping are low
>Game doesn't keep track of what pieces you have so you can get the boots twelve times while still missing the helmet
>Only way to get the enemy to respawn is to use a limited quantity consumable item that makes said enemy more difficult with every use
>After a certain point the enemy is so powerful that it can take many attempts just to kill it once
>There are also other enemies that interfere and they get stronger too

It was a fucking horseshit design choice, and there's multiple sets in the game like that.
