Out of all the chest armor in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, one from the witcher School of the Manticore is arguably the best in the game. Along with the matching boots, gauntlets, trousers, and swords, the Legendary Manticore Set is an excellent choice of gear for any player who has the Blood and Wine expansion.
However, it is only available on New Game+, so acquiring this set is something players should only bother doing on a 2nd playthrough (or beyond). The chest piece, in-game known as just “Legendary Manticore Armor”, requires some uncommon and rare ingredients to craft, however, the diagram is the most crucial component, and can only be found in the quest (also from the Blood and Wine expansion) “Scavenger Hunt: Grandmaster Manticore Gear”.
The Legendary Manticore Armor has great effects, such as providing 26% resistance to piercing damage, 33% resistance to slashing damage, 36% resistance to damage from monsters, and a 30% increase to critical hit damage, while also possessing 3 slots.
None of these components are difficult to find, though require the right components to be crafted, or luck and some money to obtain from merchants.
Can be bought from the following merchants:
- Willis in White Orchard
- Elihal on the outskirts of Novigrad
- Merchant at Gildorf district shop
- Sjusta at Kaer Trolde Harbor
Each crafted from 1 Cured Draconid Leather (crafted from 2 Hardened Leathers and 5 Chitinous Shells) and 1 Infused Crystal (crafted from 2 Infused Shards).
Each crafted from 2 Dimeritium Ingots (which each requires 2 Dimeritium Ore).
Dropped by some monsters after death or can be acquired from deconstructing a Drowner Brain.
Dropped by some monsters after death or can be acquired from deconstructing specific monster hearts, like a Nekker Heart or an Endrega Heart.
Witchers who desire any of the grandmaster-level witcher gear should speak to Lazare Lafargue (also exclusive to the Blood and Wine expansion). Doing so will grant the player the chance to start the quest “Scavenger Hunt: Grandmaster Manticore Gear”.
In this quest, Geralt must hunt down the 6 diagrams for each piece of the Legendary Manticore Set, which are all thankfully marked on the map. The diagram for the Armor is the 2nd piece that the quest will lead the player toward and is found upon a wall of loose pages on stone bricks in a dark cave.
