The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Guide (Steam) Walkthrough Items Compendium
Armor
Armor protects the arms and torso. Most of the garments described as “armor” in The Witcher 2 are actually layered garments that can combine padding, worked leather, chain mail shirts, and even ring mail. Heavy plate armor of the type seen in many other games cannot be obtained in this game. A witcher like Geralt must be able to move swiftly.
Armor is perhaps the single most important piece of Geralt’s equipment. Armor can increase Geralt’s maximum load, protect against critical effects, accelerate vitality regeneration, and offer a number of far stranger, unique bonuses. Strong sets of armor are usually difficult to obtain in one way or another, whether hard to find, expensive, or only craftable through use of rare ingredients.
