The next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has finally made its way into the hands of players, breathing new life into Geralt of Rivia's incredible journey. While the update brings with it a whole host of improvements under the hood, one of the most exciting additions is the new armor Geralt can find while on the path.
Aside from a new quest that culminates in the discovery of a certain set from the live-action show, there are two wholly original sets created for this update. The White Tiger of the West & The Armor of a Thousand Flowers. Both armor sets can be found in the same location, but are incredibly easy to miss if Geralt does not know where to look.
Where to find the White Tiger of the West Armor:
This illustrious set of armor can be found and acquired once Geralt has met with Emproer Var Emreis for the first time. The chest is located in Yennefer's room, just off the courtyard in the palace at Vizima. Players returning to the game can simply go back to Vizima at any time. The set includes six items:
White Tiger of the West Medium Armor Set: Required Lvl. 11 (54 NG+)
Nine-Tailed Vixen Steel Sword | +10% Critical hit chance, +5% Chance to cause bleeding, +5% Chance to dismember |
|---|---|
Nine-Tailed Vixen Silver Sword | +11% Critical hit chance, +6% Chance to cause bleeding |
White Tiger of the West Armor 85 Armor | +75 Vitality, +5% Resistance to piercing & bludgeoning damage, +9% Resistance to slashing damage, +13% Resistance to damage from monsters |
White Tiger of the West Trousers 30 Armor | +5% Adrenaline point gain, +3% Resistance to piercing, bludgeoning damage, +6% Resistance to slashing damage & damage from monsters |
White Tiger of the West Gauntlets 25 Armor | +1% Resistance to piercing & bludgeoning damage, +5% Resistance to poisoning, +3% Resistance to slashing damage |
White Tiger of the West Boots 29 Armor | +1% Resistance to piercing, bludgeoning, damage from monsters, +3% Resistance to slashing damage, +2% resistance to elemental damage. |
Notes on the Set:
The note left in the chest from Yennefer claims that the armor, though originating in lands unknown, was clearly made for the Emperor himself. While the civilization of origin remains a mystery, she says 'it was forged in the ancient style of a blacksmith who stole the secrets of its construction from their gods.'
Where to find The Armor of a Thousand Flowers
Before Geralt can retrieve this armor, which is found in the same chest as the White Tiger of the West set, the player must first register for My Rewards in the main menu. Anyone using the cross-progression service will already have the needed credentials, otherwise the details can be found by simply clicking the tab.
Armor of a Thousand Flowers Medium Armor Set: Required Lvl. 7 (50 NG+)
Sword Of A Thousand Flowers (Steel) | +5% Armor piercing, +1% Aard sign intensity, +10% Critical hit damage bonus, +5% Critical hit chance, +5% Bonus experience from humans and nonhumans |
|---|---|
White Widow of the Valley of Flowers (Silver) | +7% Igni sign intensity, +10% Critical hit damage bonus, +5% critical hit chance, +5% Bonus experience from monsters |
Armor Of A Thousand Flowers 66 Armor | +4% Resistance to piercing & bludgeoning damage, +9% Resistance to slashing damage, +11% Resistance to damage from monsters |
Trousers of a Thousand Flowers 21 Armor | +2% Resistance to piercing damage, +1% Resistance to bludgeoning damage, +4% Resistance from slashing, damage from monsters |
Gauntlets of a Thousand Flowers Armor 18 | +5% Aard sign intensity, +5% Igni sign intensity, +1% Resistance to piercing & bludgeoning damage, +2% Resistance to slashing damage, +1% Resistance to damage from monsters |
Boots of a Thousand Flowers 22 Armor | +1% Resistance to piercing & bludgeoning damage, +2% Resistance to slashing damage & damage from monsters |
Notes on the Set:
Yennefer claims in her letter that this set was made in Dol Blathanna, forged using both 'Nilfgaardian and elven craftsmanship.' Francesca Findabair herself ordered the armor made to elven standards after receiving sub-par steel from Nilfgaard.
While these armor sets may not be the type of gear a witcher would traditionally wear, they certainly provide Geralt with a change of pace. After nearly eight years on the path, who can blame him for wanting to have a little fun?
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available now for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
