Unlocking the Ultimate Armor in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Select Language:

If you’re looking to acquire the finest armor in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, note that it isn’t about finding a single set. Instead, you need to collect various pieces that, when combined, form a plate armor set with outstanding protection. Armor in KCD2 has a clear role: to keep you safe during fights. However, wearing it all the time isn’t necessarily a smart choice. Heavy plate armor can make a lot of noise, which isn’t great if you prefer stealth. Plus, if your armor is stained with blood, it might negatively affect your charisma and interactions with NPCs. Nonetheless, if you’re committed to full protection, here’s a guide to assembling the best plate armor set in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, along with tips on where to find the pieces.

How to Acquire the Best Armor in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

To put together the top-tier armor in KCD2, you’ll need the following components:

Brocade Hood
Noble Bascinet
Mail Hood with Coat of Arms
Aketon Short
Long Hauberk
Riding Waffenrock
Milanese Cuirass
Nuremberg Gauntlets
Nuremberg Plate Gauntlets
Noble’s Plate Legs

It’s crucial to obtain all these pieces at gold quality to maximize their defensive stats. With this complete set, you’ll maximize your durability in KCD2, although some items (like the hood and waffenrock) mainly add aesthetic appeal and minor bonuses.

To find this armor, you need to make your way to the second region of the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 map and head towards the city of Kuttenberg to the east. At the indicated map location, you’ll meet an Armorer named Master Nicholas Krondel, who will sell you all the plate armor pieces.

However, prepare yourself for the costs: these pieces are quite pricey, with some costing over 5,000 Groschen each. The total for the entire set can exceed 20,000 Groschen, even after haggling. But don’t be discouraged; you might come across random bandits and enemies throughout the game who have parts of this armor. It’s rare, but it does occur, and either way, it can be beneficial. Selling the lesser armor you find can help fund your purchase of the higher-tier set or you can simply utilize whatever gear fits into the setup we’ve discussed. In fact, trading in those high-value armor pieces can become one of the best ways to earn money late in the game.
