How to Unlock Armor of the Black Bear
This armor is unlocked by default once you start the New Game Plus, so you don’t need to do anything extra to get it. It’s basically a black version of the starting armor.
Armor of the Black Bear consists of the following pieces:
- Cloak of the Black Bear (Chest Armor)
- Wraps of the Black Bear (Wrist Armor)
- Belt of the Black Bear (Waist Armor)
It starts at level seven and includes the following perks:
- Shadow Step extends the duration of immunity effect when evading enemy attacks, and fires a volley of Bifrost shards during the last seconds of evasion.
- Shadow Strike boosts the damage of the first melee attack after evasion by 20%, or by 40% if you have both perks active.
How to Unlock Spartan Armor
The shirtless version of the starting armor is locked at level one and can’t be upgraded. It also includes no perks or buffs whatsoever.
Spartan Armor consists of the following pieces:
- Sorrow of Sparta (Chest Armor)
- Scars of Sparta (Wrist Armor)

If you wish to test your skills with this challenging armor set, then you can craft it at Huldra Brothers’ Shop for 25,000 Hacksilver.
How to Unlock Ares Armor
This armor is the same as the one in the original game from 2018. It focuses on Strength and Defense, as well as Luck and Vitality.
Ares Armor consists of the following pieces:
- Cuirass of Ares (Chest Armor)
- Gauntlets of Ares (Wrist Armor)
- War Belt of Ares (Waist Armor)
The two perks of the Ares Armor set are as follows:
- Rage of Ares grants all your Rage hits a small chance of dropping Healthstone, which in its turn also grants a higher chance of dealing Rage hits.
- Enraged Might guarantees a 25% boost to your damage if your Rage meter is full, and 50% boost if both of your perks are active.
This excellent armor can be crafted at level seven for 58,000 Hacksilver at Huldra Brothers’ Shop.
