Beast of Reincarnation: All armor locations
Overview & Key Takeaways
Finding new armor locations in Beast of Reincarnation can make your fights against the Malefacts quite a lot smoother. Aside from defense ratings, different armor sets offer different resistance effects to the game's status ailments, so if you know you're going up against an enemy proficient in shock, it's a good idea to put on some shock-proof armor.
Each armor set also has a different number of spirit stone slots and affects how effectively Emma can sneak around enemies without getting detected. Stealth might not seem important in Beast of Reincarnation's early chapters, though having the option to sneak around groups of enemies and avoid fighting them completely comes in handy later. Just make sure to weigh the pros and cons before swapping your armor. Sometimes, the higher defense numbers in sets like the Chain Mail and Thick Cuirass outweigh the extra attention they bring you from enemies.
Beast of Reincarnation's armor sets can be difficult to track down, but we've done the legwork for you. In this guide, we'll show you where to find every armor set, including where they are on the map and what that looks like in-game, and we list the special effects for each.

While it looks like you should be able to reach this spot early in your trip to the Ancient Civilization Zone, you can't. You'll get here after dealing with the generators underground. Anyway, as you're progressing up the valley, you'll see a large pipe on the right. The garb of tranquility is in a strongbox at the end of that pipe.
- 23 defense
- 60 acid resistance
- 4 spirit stone slots
- Nonexistent enemy awareness (which means it's very stealthy)
