The Armor quest, which begins in Act IV, but also takes up most of Act V, is initiated when Geralt finds Berengar at the Lakeside crypt. The errant witcher tells our hero about a legendary suit of armor that once belonged to an equally legendary witcher named "Raven". Rumour has it, he was buried with his armor.
[edit] Walkthrough
There are actually three variations on Raven's armor and depending on the path Geralt has chosen, the components of the armor vary slightly. All three flavours require these first three basic components:
| A fragment of Graf Corbus de Ruyter's armor, aka a piece of armor, it is found in the crypt by the Lakeside when you first meet Berengar |
| The notes of an elven minstrel, found in a sarcophagus in the Striga's Crypt on the island in the Swamp Cemetery |
| The remains of Raven's armor, in Raven's sarcophagus in Raven's Crypt |
- Raven's armor of the Elves additionally requires
| A bifunctional fiber and alloy recirculator, in a dwarven trunk, in the ancient crypt beneath the Old Mine in the Swamp Cemetery |
- Raven's armor of the Order additionally requires
| Saint Gregory's litany, in a sarcophagus in the Ancient crypt connected to the Striga's Crypt. |
- Raven's armor, as made by Kalkstein, requires
| A magical formula. It is found in Agnes of Glanville's trunk in her lair. |
[edit] Notes
- Despite being marked as a 'Primary Quest', it is not necessary to complete this quest in order to finish the game, though why wouldn't you? Geralt looks so nice in his spiffy new armor.
[edit] Phases
[edit] Raven's Armor
I'm intrigued by the story of the armor worn by the witcher named Raven. Berengar claims that it's in Raven's tomb, but no one knows where the witcher was buried. Berengar suggested I talk to the blacksmith and the elven craftsman. They know the legend, too.
[edit] The De Ruyter Dynasty
They say the counts of the De Ruyter dynasty had suits of armor fashioned by gnome craftsmen. If I can find the tomb of one of the counts, I might be able to find a piece of their armor. I need to find a piece of gnome-fashioned armor.
[edit] Pieces of Armor
I found a piece of Graf Ruyter's armor. I still need what remains of Raven's armor and the notes of an elven minstrel. I need to find the notes of an elven minstrel and what remains of Raven's armor.
[edit] Notes of the Elven Minstrel
To fashion a truly magnificent suit of armor, I need the notes of an elven minstrel. I should be able to find these in the minstrel's tomb or in the tomb of one of his disciples. I need to find the notes of an elven minstrel. I should search the crypts.
