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.

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 Count Kobus de Ruyter's armor, aka a piece of armor, it is found in the crypt by the lakeside when you first meet Berengar It can also be found in Raven's Crypt |
| 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 magic 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.
- Geralt can learn about Raven's armour from either Berengar, Zoltan, Triss or Rayla.
- Extra XP: there are additional 1000 XP added while Geralt searches for and finds the components he needs to have the armour reforged.

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.
