Armour is a General Codex entry in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Armours are articles of protective clothing worn by Henry and NPCs, and are based on a 20-slot system in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. See also Horse Tack for horse armour. Useful sources! - Support me On Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/resonantuprising.
Nest of Vipers is one of the main quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. During this mission Henry needs to sneak into a huge bandits' camp located in Pribyslavitz. Your main objective is to scout that area. However, you will also get a chance to sabotage the enemy. This can help you during the bigger battle that will take place in the next main quest.
Note - Get at least one Saviour Schnapps before you start this quest. You should also reduce the weight of Henry's and his horse's equipment because you get a chance to find and wear (heavy) pieces of Cuman armor.
Note #2 - Take 4 Poison bottles with you on this mission if you plan on making a 'full' reconnaissance. You can get these items, e.g. from the herbalist who lives in the forest near Samopesh. She sells both Poison bottles and the recipe that can help you prepare this item yourself (after reaching an alchemy bench).
Find the bandits camp in Pribyslavitz
Depending on your decisions from the previous main quest you will either know the location of the enemy camp in Pribyslavitz or you will have to find it by following received hints. Regardless of that the best place to start your journey to the camp is the woodcutters' camp located north Talmberg - the point 1 on our map.
- Follow the northern path that goes through the forest. Reach the first fork (the point 2 on our map) and go left which means that you have to keep going north.
- Reach the second fork (the point 3 on our map) and go left.
- Reach the third fork (the point 4 on our map) and go left once again.
- Reach the fourth fork (the point 5 on our map) and choose the middle path - go west.
- Your destination is Pribyslavitz - the point 6 on our map). Of course, you can head here immediately and ignore all the navigation points in the forest.
Scout the camp in Pribyslavitz
You should know about two things before you get closer to the camp in Pribyslavitz:
- There are bandits accompanied by Cumans roaming the area. They won't attack the hero right away. If they notice you, they will approach Henry and block his path. This gives you a little bit of time to leave the area before they start attacking you. However, this won't happen in the later part of your infiltration of Pribyslavitz camp. Be prepared that they can attack you right away if they find you in their camp.
- Making a complete or a partial reconnaissance is optional. You can simply get closer/enter the camp to update the mission objective if you are in a hurry. Then, go back to Radzig and give him an incomplete report. This means that the upcoming battle will be much more difficult.
You don't have to scout the area at a specific time of a day. Completing this task during a day is possible but it can be more difficult even if you wear the disguise described below. We recommend waiting until a night. This reduces enemies' field of view. Also, some of them will go to sleep.
- The reconnaissance can be completed in the currently equipped armor/outfit but you have to stay away from the enemies and don't let anyone catch you while Henry is inside of the camp. Finding pieces of Cuman armor is a much better idea. You can disguise yourself as one of the enemies and travel through the entire Pribyslavitz without any problems. One of the ways of finding pieces of Cuman armor is to attack one of their soldiers who patrol the camp.
- The picture above shows an example. Attack your enemy only when he isn't in someone's field of view. Also, remember to not engage in a regular combat. Instead, you should sneak up on him and stun (you can kill that Cuman afterwards).
- There is also a much safer alternate way of getting one of these armors - you can get it from a chest. Try to sneak into Pribyslavitz from the north. Find the hole presented in the picture and go through it. Stop right after going through it - there is a chest in the hooded area (it is secured with an easy lock). Inside, there are pieces of Cuman armor (these pieces can also be found in other chests but they are more difficult to access).
- Equip this armor (remember about wearing the helmet) and remove all previously worn pieces of armor (you can move them into your horse's inventory if Henry is encumbered).
Note - You should drink a Saviour Schnapps after equipping the armor. You won't have to get the armor again if you are discovered by the enemies prematurely.
Thanks to the armor you can travel around the entire Pribyslavitz but:
- You can be exposed by an enemy if you aren't wearing all pieces of armor (found on an unconscious enemy or in a chest) or if you didn't remove all armor parts that you were using up to this point (you can use the same weapon).
- You can be exposed if you sabotage something in front of an enemy (more details in the later section of this page).
- Some enemies can become suspicious of you and approach Henry(the biggest chance for this to happen is in the norther Cuman camp).This initiates a conversation. You can use persuasion, impressing or intimidation but each of these options can be used only once. Here, you can use the following 'tactic' - run around the camp and scout the area if you notice that someone has started moving towards Henry. This won't alarm your enemies prematurely. Speak with that person only when you plan on completing the optional sabotage actions.
Additional note - Failing at using one of the unique dialog options when you get caught won't trigger a fight. The only difference is that you won't get any Speech points. A fight can only happen when you choose 'the standard' answer after using all three unique ones.
You can reach the locations in Pribyslavitz connected to the reconnaissance either while you are wearing a Cuman armor or without it. Henry comments his findings with one or a few sentences every time you reach one of those places (e.g. what protection can your allies get from a given location once they start assaulting this place). Try to examine the following parts of the camp:
- Two main bridges (the one that you can reach by following the main path and the one in the south).
- South and south-west parts of Pribyslavitz (Henry will say that it is a good place for a surprise attack).
- The center of Pribyslavitz (the hero talks about, e.g. a palisade).
- The smaller northern camp.
- The bigger western camp - here, you should be able to watch a cut-scene during which Runt kills one of his men.
Sabotaging the enemy camp in Pribyslavitz
Besides making the basic reconnaissance you can also decide to complete two optional objectives related to sabotaging the enemy camp. Completing them can reduce the enemy numbers as well as reduce the enemy archers' efficiency.
- Remember that the mission objectives don't have to be completed in 100%. You can finish them partially (e.g. by poisoning only one kettle) but this won't weaken the entire army.
- You can focus on sabotaging one type of objects (first the kettles and then all the arrow barrels) or you can do that accordingly to the location you are currently in. As for the second variant, the best way to start is to visit the northern and 'the most difficult' Cuman camp and moving towards the western bandits' camp.
- The first sabotage option is to poison kettles with soup. They are located in different parts of Pribyslavitz- there are two kettles in the northern Cuman camp (the one with the chest that holds pieces of Cuman armor); another two kettles are in the western camp, the one next to the church's ruins.This objective can only be completed if you have a poison but you don't have to get it before you start this quest. If you followed the previous tip then you probably already have Poison bottles with you. If not then don't worry - poison can be found in the camp.One bottle is near the northern chest that holds pieces of armor (the picture 1), other bottles are, e.g. inside locked chests placed somewhere in the camp.
- Approach a kettle and select the option that lets you place something into it. Find a poison (the picture 2) and confirm the action. Note - Be sure that no one is looking at Henry when he pours the poison into a kettle!
- Another option for sabotaging your enemy is to set their arrows on fire. They are kept in various parts of Pribyslavitz (the picture above shows an example). Two barrels withs arrow are in northern Cuman camp (the one with pieces of Cuman armor) and another two in the western camp next to the church's ruins.
- Here, the risk of getting caught is even higher. You can leave this step for last and do it during a night. Also, drink Saviour Schnapps to save the progress that you have made so far. Move away from a barrel that was set on fire because enemies will soon arrive there.
Give your report to Radzig
Realtek rtl8723ae driver windows 10. You can go back to Radzig after:
- Making a provisional reconnaissance of the camp.
- Making a full reconnaissance of the camp.
- Making a full reconnaissance of the camp and completing a few of the optional objectives.
- Making a full reconnaissance of the camp and completing all optional objectives - this variant gives you the biggest help after starting the battle in the next main quest.
Start running away if you raise the alarm in the camp. Don't try to fight, you won't stand a chance. Keep running until you increase your distance from the enemies. Quickly call your horse, mount it and lose your pursuers. If you didn't get caught then you can leave this location at any moment.
During his report Henry can give his opinion on the following topics:
- The camp's location - Henry's comment is automatic.
- Enemy numbers - - You must select the last dialog option and inform Radzig that there are a lot of enemies in Pribyslavitz. The battle, that takes place in the next mission, can be much more difficult if you tell him that there are less enemies.
- Bandits in the camp - Henry's comment is automatic.
- Cumans in the camp - Henry's comment is automatic.
- Enemies' equipment - Choose the middle option and tell Radzig that the enemies are well placed.
- Ladders in the camp - Henry's comment is automatic.
- After telling Radzig that there are multiple enemies in the camp he will send Henry to Talmberg for reinforcements (you also receive 125 Groschen). Reach the castle and speak with Sir Divish.
- Note - At the end of the conversation with Divish you can tell him that you are ready for attack or that you need more time (this moment is presented in the picture). Confirming your readiness automatically starts
- 'Baptism of Fire' main quest. However, it is better to prepare yourself well for the upcoming battle so select the second option and go back to Divish once you finish all preparations. Our suggestions can be found in the walkthrough for Baptism by Fire main quest.
Also known as Medieval Knight Simulator 1403, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is Warhorse Studios’ attempt at creating a hyper-realistic simulation of a young man’s trials & tribulations in medieval Europe.
For the most part, the game succeeds at presenting an open-world representation of medieval Europe. Complete with 15th-century clothing, weapons, and NPCs that really feel authentic.
That said, there’s always room for improvement. And there’s no way modders would leave such an expansive open-world untouched.
If you’re interested in the modding community and what they have in store for Henry, let me guide you through the best mods to download for Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
30. Lockpicking Overhaul
First up we have a Quality of Life-enhancing mod that’s sure to streamline a lot of your stealth-based gameplay… by making thievery just a tad easier.
This Lockpicking Overhaul by user Fireundubh will instantly unlock any lock. Provided your skill level surpasses the locks… if not, you’ll play the usual minigame we all love.
And perhaps your MLG skills will help you out.
It’ll also label every stash you’ve already opened as “searched”, making it easier to keep tabs on your rogue activities.
29. Better Trainers
Also by Fireundubh comes Better Trainers, a mod that makes your apprenticeship experience more profitable by removing level requirements from skill-training.
This gives you freedom in building your character, but can also be exploited to make Henry overpowered at very early levels. This can effectively remove all challenge from his adventure.
To counteract this you could install the “balanced” version of the mod, which significantly increases skill-training costs while it removes level requirements. This way you’ll still have a lot of freedom to develop your character, but won’t necessarily be able to abuse it. Stronghold crusader extreme hd.
Check the files section for downloads of all 3 versions.
28. Durable Armors and Weapons
In vanilla KCD, weapons and armor need to be repaired surprisingly often.
I understand pursuing realism. But it often feels as if they’re made of tin and recycled materials!
Uchiwaobito brings us a solution in the form of Durable Armors and Weapons, which simply allows your equipment to take more of a beating before needing a touch-up at your local smithy.
There are several versions available, ranging from making your equipment 1.5 times as durable to 100 times. It’s up to you!
27. Better Vanilla HUD
As is the case with most large-scale RPGs, there are many mods dedicated to making KCD as minimal and stylish as possible. All in an attempt to keep you immersed.
This mod by Anarchia subtly diminishes the size of elements in your HUD, including the compass, health bar, and scope dot.
It also recolors a couple things such as the combat reticle, which is no longer that hideous vanilla red and yellow.
The changes are so small you may not even notice at first. But it does look more tasteful. Definitely enough that you won’t want to turn back.
26. Less Intrusive Map Icons
Here’s another mod that endeavors to make the “game” aspect more minimal.
Less Intrusive Map Icons by modder Woffen5 is well worth trying out.
While having big map icons works great on a console, PC folk are less than a meter away from their screens.
This mod turns icons “just visible enough” to preserve the artistic value of the map and make it feel less cluttered.
25. Third-Person Camera Mode
There’s no way in vanilla KCD to switch the camera to a third-person view.
But there’s no need to give up just yet!
Fuse00’s Third-Person Camera Mode lets you switch between vanilla first-person and third-person with the touch of a button. It even works during combat sequences, though you may find it somewhat harder to fight this way.
The only drawback is that controlling Henry in third-person is similar to riding a horse. Which is a bit unnatural and may break your immersion.
That said, it’s easy to get used to. So give it a shot and see how it plays, even if it feels weird at first.
24. Midnight Armor Set
Skulking around in the shadows playing KCD is considerably less stylish than in more fantastical games.
After all, thieves in the Middle Ages were more likely to wear rags than expensive black silk robes. You know, like those you’d see in Elder Scrolls.
Realism is all fine and good. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle if you want to play master of stealth.
This mod by modder LampiestLamp adds a wide array of tasteful jet-black armor pieces, made by recoloring some other KCD equipment. To keep the game’s style intact.
Once installed, you’ll find these sets of rogue armor being sold at your local tailor. Though you may have to wait until they put out new stock.
23. More Artwork Loading Screens More Artwork Loading Screens
Tired of the usual four loading screens?
Worry not, modder M4770 brings you 23 new ones to keep your loading experience fresh.
And don’t worry, it’s not full of amateurish screenshots or questionable fan art. This features real concept art and related illustrations from the KCD website & other official sources.
Waiting while the game loads is annoying. But when you can admire the beautiful scenery and interesting characters, it’s not half as bad. Miller nitro 2275 manual.
22. Bow Dot Reticle
For many people, the less intrusive the HUD, the better.
Others (like me) like their arrow shots to land.
Created by modder Fawwks, this simple mod keeps the aiming reticle in the middle of the screen whenever you’re aiming a bow, helping you make sure you’re aiming at your target’s head rather than anything else.
I admit that having a reticle is a reminder that you’re playing a game rather than… you know, murdering somebody in cold blood. But if it’s easier to aim, you don’t think about it that much.
Couldn’t that be more immersive, in a way?
21. No Helmet Vision
Another similar mod that trades immersion for QOL is No Helmet Vision by JustAnOrdinaryGuy.
As you know, wearing protective helmets in base game has a massive drawback.
They severely limit your vision, letting you see directly in front of you and not much else. It’s realistic, but it also makes wearing helmets really annoying.
This mod removes helmet vision altogether so you can protect your vulnerable head without sacrificing visibility.
Some in the community may call you a casual, but everyone has fun their own way.
20. More Random Events
Imagine traveling anywhere in the Middle Ages during times of political unrest and looming war on the horizon.
Probably not the most enjoyable experience. Where there’s strife, there are also bandits.
This mod by Eramus endeavors to make traversing Bohemia more realistic and spontaneous by increasing the chance for random events to trigger while traveling.
This may simply mean a minor inconvenience, or turn into an all-out battle for survival against a gang of lawbreakers.
But if that’s not enough for you, don’t worry. There’s also a “hard” version for those of you with a deathwish.
19. Henry Grows a Beard
Beards have been helping men around the world appear more competent ever since the dawn of time. The Middle Ages were no different.
Now our beloved protagonist Henry can access the wonders of facial hair thanks to Feynnman’s Henry Grows a Beard, which gives the wandering warrior a manly shrub he can be proud of.
Not only that, but said beard is very well made.
Kingdom Come Deliverance Best Armor Location
It matches his hair color exactly and looks quite realistic.
18. Blood Mod – Alpha
Among the most immersive advances are realistic blood splatters. It makes you feel as if your attack is having a noticeable effect.
And this mod by Ddefinder brings all of this to the world of KCD.
As you fight, blood will splatter on floors, walls, basically everywhere, all dynamically.
My favorite feature that sets this blood mod apart from others is how the crimson liquid only splatters whenever your hits bypass armor – that is, whenever you deal health damage rather than just diminish stamina.
17. Stay Clean Longer
Look, I get it. Getting plastered with blood, dirt, and soot whenever you step into the open is just a part of living in the Middle Ages.
And the game wouldn’t be half as realistic if you didn’t get dirty. But does it really have to be so easy?
In vanilla, you’ll get dirty just by walking a few meters.
It happens so often that staying clean is almost impossible without interfering with a good gameplay flow.
This mod by Mad General simply makes it a bit harder to soil your clothes and armor.
It’ll also feel like a more gradual process instead of becoming caked in mud from one moment to the next.
16. Hoods and Scarfs Up (Dynamic)
Henry can be seen wearing hooded scarves in the game’s early trailers. But the feature was ultimately scrapped for reasons I can’t quite fathom.
With this mod by Ctobias you’ll be able to cover your head with scarves and hoods all day long.
Not only that, but they’ll go back down whenever you equip a helmet. The realism is a nice touch.
A total of 37 hoods and 7 scarves are affected by the change, so there’s no excuse for getting caught in the rain. And it’s a whole lot easier keeping your identity to yourself with a discreet hood.
15. Perkaholic
Developer Warhorse Studios focused on realism over all else while making Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
For that very reason, freedom in building your character is a bit limited.
Creator Xylozi sought to bring some more variety to the game’s skill system, introducing new perks for the Bow, Polearm, and Unarmed trees (previously overlooked by the game’s devs).
And if you’ve already started the game with the traditional perk catalog, don’t worry. You can craft a Lethian Waters Potion to reset your perk points and re-assign them without having to start over.
14. Black Knight Armor and Sword
Few character tropes command as much respect as the ubiquitous Black Knight.
It’s present in almost every modern medieval fantasy story, as well as many classic tales of chivalry.
The evil sorcerer (read: modder) Malcroix has anointed you Black Knight of… well, who knows?
The point is you now have a flashy black armor Erptips manual. set with golden accents that’ll make you look like an apparition sent by dark powers to torment the peasants.
It includes two different helmets for some added customization, and also a mighty black sword with the inscription “Terminus Est” on the blade. It doesn’t get more badass than that.
13. Horse Armor
What kind of legendary knight rides around on an unprotected steed?
Named after one of gaming’s most infamous DLCs, Horse Armor by AJStoner adds three protective sets of armor for your equine friend. All great-looking and period-accurate.
My favorite part about this realistic armor is the fact it covers the horse’s legs, which were the part your enemies would have been targeting to incapacitate your steed and dismount you.
12. More Enemies
Now that you have menacing heavy armor and a war-ready steed, you need enemies to try them out on.
What better for your first heroic exploit than a horde of angry bandits?
This mod by KazuiyoSenpai increases how many hostile NPCs will spawn whenever you’re ambushed on the road and other such situations.
Where vanilla usually spawns up to half a dozen enemies, this mod will generally spawn around 20 and could even go up to 44!
Just make sure not to have this active whenever you start a new playthrough, or you’re going to have a bad time.
11. Roads Are Risky
What good is making battles so much bigger when you rarely ever enter combat?
Well, it’s a bit too much to say that you rarely enter combat in KCD.
The roads in Bohemia are pretty dangerous, after all. But when you’re trying to quench your murderous thirst, it’s never enough.
This simple mod by Silencer711 makes traveling Bohemia even riskier.
Whenever you fast travel, walk, or ride your horse from one settlement to the next, you’re almost 100% sure to run into bandits at least once. You’ll have to keep an eye out and a hand on your sword at all times.
10. Easy To See Herbs
Gathering herbs is a crucial aspect of staying healthy in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. They’re the ingredients that you’ll use to concoct many tinctures and potions.
Regrettably, Warhorse Studios’ interest in realism led them to make these herbs as hard-to-find as they would be in real life.
In fact, they could even be harder to find than going into your backyard to pick some!
With this mod by creator Lucas182, all herbs will be much brighter than anything around them, making it somewhat easier to collect ingredients for your alchemy.
Considering they’re still somewhat hard to see, I’d say the game remains just as immersive. So there’s no reason not to skip this one, it’s just a bit of a helping hand.
9. Pebbles is the Best Horse
As you progress through Kingdom Come: Deliverance you’ll gain many fantastic steeds that put your initial horse to shame in all regards.
That said, many of us created an emotional bond with the noble Pebbles. And it’s a shame to leave your companion behind just because he isn’t as fast or brave as other horses.
This mod by Moraelin solves the issue by super-charging Pebbles, making them as fast as Pegasus and as hard to scare as Kanthaka.
While it’s true that this makes Pebbles gallop like a super-car, and is for all intents and purposes a cheat, it only truly impacts your travel speed.
Don’t feel like you’re cheesing the game just because you have a nice horse!
8. Joew’s Kingdom Come Deliverance Mod Manager
We’ve covered so many cool mods already, you’re probably ready to download several of them. And please do because these mods are awesome!
But to help you keep track of your add-ons, I’d recommend getting Joew’s KCD Mod Manager.
This nifty tool will make the KCD modding experience a much easier affair, letting you install, enable/disable, uninstall, and set mod priority according to whatever works best.
It makes no sense to handle things manually when such an efficient alternative is just one click away.
7. Immersive Balance
Among the least realistic aspects of KCD has to be combat and character development.
As a warrior, Henry can get stupidly overpowered by the time you reach the end of the game!
Modder PommesUndWurst seeks to improve your gaming experience by making your development as a warrior considerably more gradual.
It also tweaks several other systems, such as nourishment, exhaustion, and money, so they feel much more balanced and rewarding.
Plus it doesn’t change the feel of the game or make it any less realistic. So it’s very vanilla-friendly in my opinion.
All in all, I think it makes the game’s challenge more engaging. And I can’t recommend it enough.
6. Optimized Graphics Preset
We can’t list the best mods in a modern open-world game without talking about graphics.
And one of the best options for KCD is the Optimized Graphics Preset.
Created initially by modder OVNI and currently maintained by NexusMods user Figo283, this preset gets rid of minor but resource-consuming details like grass sway, and puts that processing power where it matters.
Like better anti-aliasing and shadows.
It won’t make a potato run the game. But it’ll look much better in a medium-tier gaming rig at no performance cost.
5. Perfection ReShade
Another excellent option that goes great with Optimized Graphics Presets is the Perfection ReShade by ChungK1ing. This applies some subtle graphical tweaks to make the game more photorealistic and overall eye-candy.
Some things you might notice in this ReShade are increased contrast, vivid colors, ambient light adjustments, and an overall cinematic look that makes everything much more epic.
If you love taking striking screenshots in-game, there’s also a version that lets you turn Depth of Field on or off with the touch of a button.
4. Spearman’s Delight
Vanilla KCD treats spears, halberds, and polearms as a secondary situational weapon.
So it doesn’t let you store them, or develop your halberd-wielding skills. Boo!
This mod by AJStoner corrects all that, making the Halberd skill visible and enabling you to both acquire & repair polearms at blacksmiths.
You’ll also be able to store them.
This change also makes them a much more common sight in NPC hands. So to make sure this doesn’t break your game, they’ve also been rebalanced to resemble standard weapons.
3. A Sorted Inventory
Dahlgren system 300 manual. Sometimes, the simplest mods are the ones that’ll make the most significant impact on total entertainment value.
One such example is Haslami’s A Sorted Inventory, which helps you keep your possessions organized by renaming every item in the game.
Now they’ll have tags before their names that’ll group them together if you sort your inventory alphabetically. It’s small, but really valuable.
This way, something like Bailiff’s Mace will be changed to “Mace – Bailiff’s”, and so on.
It’s shocking that Warhorse Studios didn’t include something of the sort to begin with. I consider this mod an absolute must-have.
2. Blood and Iron Overhaul
For those of you looking for a hard-as-nails medieval experience comes Blood and Iron by creator AJStoner, a mod that promises to turn Bohemia into the most vicious place in Europe.
Get this if you’ve already cleared the game at least once. Survival in Blood and Iron will put your skills to the test.
Kingdom Come Deliverance Secret Armor
For example, arrows are now deadlier, enemies will pursue you longer, and combat has been rebalanced in favor of heavily-armored warriors (which won’t be you until much later into the campaign).
This mod is not for the faint of heart.
But if you’re itching for a greater challenge, you won’t be disappointed.
1. Ultimate Realism Overhaul
And here we thought vanilla KCD was already realistic to a fault.
Aimed at giving you a renewed, stupidly lifelike experience, the Ultimate Realism Overhaul rebalances almost every aspect of the game.
This will make it considerably more challenging, but also more immersive.
Among its best features are a better nourishment system, a reworked economy, and more tactical combat. This last bit is achieved by making weapons feel unique in battle, performing better in some situations than in others, as well as adding more nuanced armor stats.
What makes me recommend this mod above all others is how it feels very cohesive and well-planned out.
If you’re looking for a genuinely different gaming experience, this is it.
