A Matter of Style

This mission is an easy one. Simply make your way to Old Glenn the Blacksmith’s cottage by taking the detour to the west in the central part of The Forest. There, you’ll spot a piece of bikini armor in the tree, and you can shake it down by throwing a solid punch at the tree’s trunk. After Ellie expresses dissatisfaction with that piece, circle around to the back of the cottage, where you can find a more serious suit of armor in a crate beside the loot chest. You do have to examine both items, but the choice of which piece to present to your client is up to you; you can only take one of the two pieces back to Flamerock.
