Ancient Nordic armor is an element of the kit of the same name, at the sight of which city guards exclaim that they stink of death from armor and ask Dovakin if he is robbing graves. Clothes can be found on the snowy expanses of Tamriel or forged independently. This will be discussed in the article.
Kit
The ancient Nordic armor in Skyrim is a heavy cuirass possessing indicators of ordinary iron armor. It is understood that the armor is old and does not live up to its purpose. You can see it on the draggers in the Nordic burial grounds.
Has a defense of 25, weighs 28 and costs 125 coins. The kit includes boots, gloves, a helmet and armor (all with the inscription "ancient Nordic" to the name).
Where to find
You can find parts of a set of ancient Nordic armor in many places.
- In the possession of the White Beach in the Forgotten Cave there are two pairs of boots and two helmets.
- Eila the Huntress wears a full set without a helmet.
- In the Tomb of Isgram, near Winterhold, there is a helmet (lying in the hall with sacred fire on the table).
- In the Southern Sanctuary is a necromancer sect. Their leader, an orc named Bashnag, wears ancient Nordic armor, which he is not about to give away.
- In the process of completing the quest “Hunting the Cult of Dragons,” Dovakin will find the whole set among the dead ghost cultists in Forelhost (near Riften).
- In the ruins of Kienstag near Morphal there is a ghost dressed in armor. You can try to take away from him by force.
Manufacture
For those who are too lazy to search for such an insignificant item, you can craft in the heavenly forge, completing the line of assignments of the Companions. Dovakin is required to level Blacksmithing skill above level 20 and unlock the Steel Armor ability.
It will take 5 steel ingots and 2 iron, 2 pieces of leather and 4 strips. If you have 1 more iron bar in stock, the armor can be improved using a workbench.
Azidal
With the Dragonborn expansion, a set of ancient Nordic armor, previously owned by the dragon priest Azidal, appeared in the game. You can get it during the course of the “Excavation” task in the Kolbjorn mound near Solstheim.
Elements of the set have special charms that are not removed by the Pentagram of Souls:
- armor of retaliation - the enemy who caused damage in melee can be paralyzed;
- helmet of insight - spells and runes of the school of witchcraft work further, but require 25% more mana;
- amulet gloves - amulets worn on the hero reduce the effectiveness of their defense by 25%, but absorb 50% of the magic effects of enemy spells;
- boots walking on water - in the literal sense, make it possible to walk on water (if you wear the whole set of azidal armor, boots give +10 to enchantment);
- ring of magic - when worn, Dovakin can use the “Ignite” and “Freeze” spells;
- ring of necromancy - the raised dead man breaks into battle and explodes when receiving damage. Damages 50 units with cold and dies.
Conclusion
Ancient Nordic armor is a pleasant exclusive from the priests of dragon cults. She is able to significantly diversify the process of passing the game.
