The best Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 armor isn’t a set of a single type, but a piecemeal option made from various armor pieces. Still, the best armor can be found at a single location – or rather, a single street in a main city.
We’re here to help sort it all out, the specific armor pieces you need for the best set of armor in KCD2, as well as where you can find them. Be warned through, as not only is this expensive, but it’s armor for a very specific build: namely, as much physical protection as possible. Don’t expect good stealth here: this is a build all about tanking damage. It’s also not going to be cheap – but we get ahead of ourselves. Here’s where to find all the best armor in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

The best armor in KCD2 is a jumbled set made out of the following pieces:
Brocade Hood
Noble Bascinet
Mail Hood with Coat of Arms
Aketon Short
Hauberk long
Riding Waffenrock
Milanese Cuirass
Nuremberg Gauntlets
Nuremberg Plate Gauntlets
Noble’s Plate Legs
It goes without saying that you’ll want to get all of these armor pieces at gold quality, as that will massively increase their stats. With these pieces combined though, you’ll be as durable as it’s possible to be in KCD2 (though the hood and waffenrock barely make any difference and are mostly there to add visual flourish and secondary stat bonuses).

To get this armor, you need to reach the second region of the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 map and go to the city of Kuttenberg to the East. At the map location shown above you’ll find an Armorer by the name of Master Nicholas Krondel who will sell you all of the plate pieces.
However, be warned: they’re incredibly expensive, with some individual pieces costing over 5000 Groschen. The whole ensemble will cost well over 20,000 Groschen, even if you haggle but don’t lose hope: it’s possible to find random bandits and enemies with pieces of that gear throughout the game. It’s rare, but it does happen, and either way it works out: sell the second-tier armor you find off them to afford the set above, or just use any armor that fits into the outfit we’ve outlined. In fact, selling these high value armor pieces is basically the best late-game Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 money farm, so it’s just good practice at this point.
