How and why did i just get Tree Sentinel Set?

[Blast (AKA LostAmI)]

Okay so I'm doing a Hero's dungeon and i suddenly got the "Tree Sentinel Set"
And i have NO idea why or how? Did some boss throw himself into a pit somewhere in the dungeon? Has this happened to anyone else? I'm VERY confused.

You get the Tree Sentinel Set in that dungeon by playing around with the movable flamethrower-pillars until one of them creates a teleportation circle in the big room with two Chariots.
It teleports 3rd one in and the previous 2 crash into it destroying them all and giving you the set as a reward.
Either you did it by accident, or... Hm.

The boss of that dungeon rewards something else entirely, so its not him.

I was messing around with the flame thrower pillar cause i saw a statue on it when i activated it to get past, then activated it again to get past it on the other side.... 0_o huh... lucky me i guess that's cool though.

It is a scripted event for those chariots to crash into one another and destroy each other as soon as the pillar is raised, and the item drop is tied to them smashing apart.

My guess is that FromSoft just set it up so that if you raised and then re-lowered the pillar it would just automatically destroy the chariots, just in case people did it by accident or didn’t understand how the puzzle worked. Normally you would need to raise the pillar and then go back into the specific hallway in which you would see the third chariot spawn at the specific location.

I enjoyed that puzzle. Mainly because I got to witness those chariots getting what they deserved.

just use the Mohg's Shackle in that place, it will just cause all the chariots to crash
